Pool Resurfacing in Fort Lauderdale

Fort Lauderdale is known for its canals, and a lot of its pools sit a few steps from the water. Many neighborhoods were built out from the 1950s through the 1970s, so it's common to find pools that have been replastered more than once, sometimes with layers that no longer bond well. That history shapes how we approach pool resurfacing here.

Draining a pool near the water

Groundwater sits close to the surface near the canals and the Intracoastal, especially in the rainy season. An empty pool can be pushed upward by that groundwater, which is why draining is planned carefully: checking the hydrostatic relief valve, watching the weather and keeping the pool empty no longer than the work needs. We'll explain how we handle it for your pool before the first drop of water comes out.

Older pools and old layers

On an older pool, the question isn't only which new finish to choose. Hollow or delaminating spots in the old plaster have to be found and removed so the new surface bonds to something solid. We sound the surface at the estimate when the water level allows, and we'll tell you if we expect extra prep rather than surprising you mid-job.

Condos and buildings on the beach

Beachside condos and hotels usually need a fixed schedule, board approval and coordination with building management. We plan commercial pool resurfacing around those windows. Permit requirements depend on the scope of work, and we confirm them with the City of Fort Lauderdale before scheduling.

Salt air and the edges

Salt air and constant sun are hard on coping and the grout at the waterline. If yours is cracked or loose, a resurfacing is the right time to fix it, since the pool is already empty.
