Glendale Pool Builders resurfaces and replasters pools across Glendale and the Verdugo foothills. When the interior finish is worn, stained, rough, or failing, resurfacing restores the look and feel of a new pool and protects the gunite shell underneath. We drain, prep, repair, and refinish with durable plaster, quartz, or pebble surfaces built to last in the Glendale climate.

How we resurface, start to finish
Pool interiors do not last forever. Over the years a plaster surface wears thin, develops rough patches, stains, or shows etching and discoloration that no amount of cleaning will fix. Once the finish starts to fail it is more than cosmetic, because the interior is what protects the gunite shell underneath from constant contact with the water.
Telltale signs include a rough or chalky feel underfoot, persistent staining, visible thin spots where the surface has worn through, and small cracks or plaster pop-offs. When several of these appear together, the pool is due for resurfacing, and catching it at that stage keeps the job to a finish replacement rather than a shell repair.
Resurfacing on a sensible schedule is far cheaper than letting a failed surface expose the shell. On a hillside pool, where the structure already works hard against the grade, protecting that shell with a sound interior is especially worth staying ahead of.
How we resurface, start to finish
Resurfacing is far more than troweling on a fresh coat. We drain the pool, then prep the existing surface properly, removing failed material and addressing any cracks or hollow spots so the new finish bonds to a sound base. Skipping that prep is precisely how a cheap resurface fails within a season, and it is the step we never rush.
Once the surface is prepped, we apply the finish you choose. Standard plaster is the proven, economical option; quartz and pebble finishes cost more up front but resist staining and wear better and last longer. We lay out the real trade-offs and let you choose what fits your pool and how long you plan to keep it.
Resurfacing is also the natural time to replace tired waterline tile, since the pool is already drained. We finish, refill, and balance the water, then walk you through the initial care the new surface needs to cure and last.
Finishes that bond and last
The value of a resurface is in how long it holds up, so we use quality materials and proper application rather than the cheapest possible coat. A well-prepped, well-bonded finish gives you years of a smooth, clean surface; a rushed one starts failing again almost immediately.
We help you weigh plaster against quartz and pebble honestly, with real numbers on cost and lifespan, so the choice matches your plans for the pool. The right finish is the one that suits your pool and your budget, not the biggest ticket on the shelf.
