Choosing to resurface your pool is a big decision. Here you’ll find expert answers about our ecoFINISH® coatings, process, pricing, and performance — so you can move forward knowing your pool is in trusted hands.

FAQ
1. What is pool resurfacing?

Pool resurfacing is applying a new finish to your pool’s interior to restore its appearance and extend its life. We use high-performance coatings like ecoFINISH’s aquaBRIGHT™ and polyFIBRO® that are durable, long-lasting, and designed to resist fading, cracking, and staining.

2. What are ecoFINISH coatings?

ecoFINISH is a cutting-edge polymer pool coating that creates a seamless, non-porous surface. It transforms aging or faded pools into beautiful, low-maintenance finishes that resist chemicals, UV damage, stains, and wear.

3. What products do you use?

We install premium ecoFINISH coatings including:

  • aquaBRIGHT™ – ideal for concrete or plaster pools, offering chemical and stain resistance.

     

polyFIBRO® – designed for fiberglass pools, providing excellent durability and a smooth finish.

4. What types of pools can ecoFINISH be applied to?

ecoFINISH coatings can be applied to fiberglass, concrete, steel, and aluminum pool surfaces, making them versatile for most residential and commercial resurfacing needs.

5. How long does ecoFINISH last?

With proper maintenance and balanced water chemistry, ecoFINISH coatings typically last more than 10 years and often longer, backed by a 10-year limited warranty.

6. How soon can I swim after resurfacing?

One of the biggest advantages of ecoFINISH is quick installation and cure time. Pools can often be refilled and ready for use almost immediately after application, depending on size and conditions.

7. Are ecoFINISH coatings easy to maintain?

Yes. ecoFINISH’s smooth, non-porous surface resists algae and staining, which means less scrubbing and fewer chemical adjustments over time compared to traditional plaster or paint.

8. Does ecoFINISH help with chemical resistance?

Absolutely. ecoFINISH coatings are resistant to pool chemicals and help reduce the frequency of chemical balancing and treatments, saving both time and maintenance costs.

9. What colors can I choose?

ecoFINISH offers a wide variety of long-lasting color options that won’t fade or mottle over time, so you can pick a finish that fits your style and backyard design.

10. Why choose ecoFINISH over traditional finishes?

Compared with plaster, gel coat, or paint:

  • Longer lifespan and durability
  • Chemical and stain resistance
  • Immediate usability after application

     

Reduced maintenance over time

11. Do you resurface only the pool interior?

While our primary focus is interior resurfacing, we also refinish steps, benches, and other exposed pool components using the same high-quality coatings.

12. How do I care for my pool after resurfacing?

Maintain balanced water chemistry (chlorine, pH, cyanuric acid, etc.), avoid harsh abrasives, and follow recommended weekly maintenance guidelines to protect the finish. ecoFINISH also provides maintenance guides.

13. How much does pool resurfacing cost?

Costs vary depending on pool size, condition, and chosen finish, but ecoFINISH coatings often prove more cost-effective over time due to their durability and reduced maintenance needs.
