Loris is rural Horry County — tobacco-farm heritage, generational properties, and pool ownership that skews heavily toward family homesteads rather than seasonal investment. The pool surface conditions here are dominated by iron-rich well water, sustained inland humidity without coastal cooling, and the kind of long-tenured ownership that’s seen multiple replaster cycles fail on the same timeline. Our thermo-polymer coatings end the cycle.



The Loris pool inventory stretches across residential properties in town, rural homes throughout Horry County, and established communities extending toward Tabor City and Aynor. Many pools in the area rely on private well water with elevated iron and mineral content, creating a very different set of surface challenges compared to municipal-water pools.
The failure pattern is familiar to many long-time Loris homeowners. Traditional plaster surfaces often develop rust-colored staining, rough texture, cloudy water appearance, mineral buildup, and visible discoloration within just a few years. Over time, iron and minerals from well water absorb directly into porous plaster surfaces, making stains difficult to remove even with acid washing, brushing, or aggressive chemical treatments.
Our aquaBRIGHT™ thermo-polymer for concrete pools and polyFIBRO® for fiberglass provide non-porous, stain-resistant surfaces engineered to handle mineral-rich well water conditions. Unlike traditional plaster, these advanced coatings prevent minerals from embedding into the surface, helping pools stay smoother, cleaner, and easier to maintain while reducing long-term staining and surface deterioration.
For Loris homeowners, the biggest advantage is replacing short-lived plaster surfaces with a finish designed to resist staining and mineral absorption in rural well-water environments.
High-performance pool coatings built for rural Horry County conditions, protecting family homes, countryside properties, and long-term residential pools with durable, low-maintenance finishes.
Fiberglass pools across Loris are exposed to iron-rich well water, mineral buildup, UV rays, and rural environmental conditions that accelerate staining, chalking, oxidation, and discoloration. Our polyFIBRO® thermo-polymer coating bonds directly to the fiberglass shell, creating a non-porous, stain-resistant surface designed to prevent mineral absorption, moisture intrusion, and long-term surface deterioration in demanding rural well-water environments.
Concrete and gunite pools throughout Loris often develop iron staining, rough texture, mineral buildup, and premature plaster wear caused by well-water conditions and repeated chemical treatments. Our aquaBRIGHT™ thermo-polymer coating creates a smooth, non-porous, pH-neutral surface that resists mineral penetration, staining, algae buildup, and repeated replastering cycles while delivering a longer-lasting finish for homeowners.
From fiberglass blistering and surface delamination to structural cracks, substrate deterioration, and leak-related damage, we provide complete pool repair solutions for Loris homeowners and rural properties alike. Every repair begins with identifying the root issue before restoring the surface using advanced thermo-polymer coating systems engineered for mineral-rich well water, inland humidity, and long-term durability in demanding rural environmental conditions.
Loris families didn’t sign up for permanent rust staining when they put a pool on the property. When the surface starts failing on rural well water, it’s not just an aesthetic problem. Rough plaster tears up skin and swimsuits, mineral-driven staining makes the water look discolored even when chemistry is balanced, and surface absorption of iron creates the kind of permanent staining that no amount of acid washing can fully reverse.
Our approach starts with the substrate, not the surface. We assess every pool for plaster delamination, fiberglass blistering, structural cracking, and water chemistry damage before coating. We repair what needs repairing at the structural level — then apply a thermo-polymer finish that forms a molecular bond with the pool shell. It’s not a coat of paint sitting on top. It’s a sealed membrane fused to the structure.
The finished pool doesn’t just look restored — it performs at a level the original builder-grade finish never achieved. Lower chemical costs, dramatically less scrubbing, and a surface that holds its color and texture through Loris’s full warm-season window — without the iron staining that defines the area’s pool problem.
Loris’s pool environment is rural Horry County in the most literal sense — well water across most of the area, inland humidity without coastal cooling, heavy tree canopy on most properties, and the ownership patterns that come with multi-generational family homesteads. None of these factors individually would catastrophically fail a plaster surface — but combined across 20-plus years of property ownership, they produce the staining-and-roughness pattern most Loris pool owners are now permanently familiar with.
On top of that, the long-tenured ownership profile means many properties are now on their third or fourth replaster, with cumulative spending across two decades that increasingly doesn’t make economic sense. The non-porous thermo-polymer coating eliminates the iron-absorption vulnerability that drives the failures, ending the replaster cycle in a single project.
The non-porous thermo-polymer surface helps prevent iron staining, algae buildup, mineral deposits, and discoloration common in rural well-water environments like Loris. Because the surface resists moisture absorption and chemical penetration, pools stay smoother, cleaner, easier to maintain, and more resistant to long-term surface deterioration year after year.
Traditional plaster resurfacing can leave pools unusable for weeks during peak swim season. Our thermo-polymer coating systems cure on application, allowing most Loris pools to be refilled the same day and swim-ready within the same week. Faster curing means less downtime, reduced disruption, and a more convenient resurfacing experience for homeowners and rural properties alike.

We couldn't be happier with our recent pool resurfacing by SC Pool Resurfacing. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth and professional. The crew was knowledgeable, punctual, and paid close attention to every detail. We went with the ‘Pearl Noire’ finish, and the finished pool looks incredible. The quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations, and it's clear they take pride in what they do. If you're considering having your pool resurfaced, we highly recommend SC Pool Resurfacing. Excellent customer service, outstanding craftsmanship, and a beautiful final result!Posted on Google Brad PulaskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Thank you for a job well done.Posted on Google Jeanette StikeleatherTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This company is on their game. They are great about answering your calls and helping with even the littlest problems I had with my aging fiberglass pool. They resurfaced the pool and they did a great job. They are very neat and keep the working area very clean. Hard working, honest people with great work ethics. I would recommend them to assist with your fiberglass needs.Posted on Google Jorge AndazolaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ken and Ashley and their crew at SC POOL RESURFACING were absolutely amazing. It was nerve-racking to see all the work that needed to be done on our fiberglass pool. Our pool had a leak for years and I finally decided to do something about it. But this team came in, assessed the situation with ease and got right to work. They were meticulous and careful not to damage the newly applied ecofibro material, especially when it came to fixing the bulge in the middle of the pool and would require cinder blocks to hold everything down. So they placed the cinder blocks on top of two 2x4’s, but wrapped the 2x4’s with non-adhesive tape so as not to damage the newly applied fiberglass —- Very impressive. They cared for the pool as if it were their own, and best of all, I could tell they took pride in their work. Thanks you all for caring! You don’t see that these days anymore. Enjoy the before and after pics! Obviously I’m still working on the pool deck.Posted on Google Suzanne JTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I got a beautiful new looking pool and filter in two days. The filter works so much better and pressure is not even up to 10 three weeks later. Algae problem is gone. They were professional knowledgeable and did what they said they would plus. Love my new pool.Posted on Google Alex BishopTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Straightforward, true to their word, exactly what we needed and wanted.Posted on Google James AnthonyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. What's the first thing that comes to mind when needing a big $$ job done? Can I trust these people? Are they going to take my deposit and ride off into the sunset, or maybe head to Mexico with a bunch of deposits and never do any work? Much to my surprise after having another company come out that does the same job and wanting a large deposit, this company said that I didn't need to give them .01 cent before they finished the job. We have a large pool (concrete and old) that had several layers of paint on it. They brought in a professional sandblaster company that did the job the right way. We could see that we had some cracks in the old concrete and needed some other work done before going forward. Again they recommended the best man for the job to fix all of that. It was an added expense, but no reason to fix things half ass. He fixed the cracks the correct way, not the good enough way, put new pvc pipe in, added 2 new returns, redid the skimmer box, and a couple of other things. Was it an added expense, of course. But, we didn't want to just put a bandaid on this pool. Now it was time for Ken and his team of professionals to come in and do their part, the part we we're waiting for. They were here at the time they said they would be. They got the pool ready like it was their own before starting. Then they got to work. They made sure to prep things the way they should, without shortcuts, putting several layers of the resin on the concrete. Their product bonds to the resin, therefore the concrete walls and floor. Then came the exciting part, watching them put the 3 layers of their Eco-finish product on with what looks like flamethrowers. As soon as they finished with the 3rd layer, the immediately were able to start filling the pool with water. They never once made me feel like they were in the category of a used car salesman. Always answered or returned my calls when I had questions. They came over and made sure the other guys were getting things ready for them to be able to do the final job. I would definitely recommend Ken and the people he recommended to do the job right. If you want to come look at my pool before doing yours Ken will happily give you my phone number to do so. We did have another person that does the same job come out before Ken, and they wanted I want to say 50% down, they were from almost 2 hours away, and we just didn't get the same vibe from them as we did Ken. Thank you Ken, Ashley and the rest of your people for exceeding our expectations and bringing brand new life to my wife's favorite part of our little Plantation. To many years of memories for our family and always remember HAPPY WIFE, HAPPY LIFE. The Anthony's.Posted on Google Emory HaganTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

Pricing is based on pool size, current condition, and prep requirements — we inspect every pool before providing a written estimate. For long-tenured rural properties, the relevant economic comparison is coating cost versus the next two replaster cycles you'd otherwise be running over the next 10–14 years. Per year of service, the coating consistently lands below that lifecycle cost.
