We work with hotels, condominiums, HOAs, apartment communities and recreational facilities across Central Florida and Florida's east coast.
Commercial pools see far more swimmers than a backyard pool, and that traffic wears the surface faster. They also operate under stricter permit and inspection requirements than residential pools in Florida. We build those requirements into the project plan from the beginning, so the work is done to meet the applicable requirements, and we plan around your property to keep downtime controlled.
You get the same resurfacing and construction quality we bring to every project, with a clear recommendation on timing and scope before anything starts.
What commercial resurfacing includes
- Draining the pool and preparing the surface
- Acid wash
- Bonding agent
- New tile, when needed
- Pebble, quartz or polished finish
- Permit and inspection requirements built into planning from day one
- Scheduling around your operational calendar
Signs your commercial pool needs resurfacing
A surface that looks acceptable from the deck can still be wearing out. Any combination of these is a reason for a professional assessment, which doesn't always mean a full resurface.
- The surface feels rough or abrasive to swimmers
- Visible cracking, chipping or flaking material
- Staining that doesn't respond to chemical treatment
- Water loss beyond normal evaporation
- Faded or uneven color across the pool interior
- Guests or residents are complaining about the pool surface
- Water quality is getting harder to keep balanced
- Your pool is approaching the end of its surface's expected life

Assessment and recommendation
We assess your pool and give you a clear recommendation on timing and scope.
Weeks ahead
Planning around your operation
Permits, inspections and your operating calendar are worked into the schedule up front, so residents and guests can be told in advance when the pool will be closed and for how long.
Hands-on work
Drain and prepare the surface
The pool is drained and the surface prepared, with an acid wash and a bonding agent before the new finish.
Hands-on work
New tile, when needed
Where the tile needs replacing, it goes in before the finish.
3–4 days in total
Pebble, quartz or polished finish
The new finish is applied and smoothed by hand by our crew.
About a month and a half
Refill, chemical start-up, back in service
Refill and chemical start-up, so the pool goes back into service properly.
The size and condition of the pool affect the timeline, so you get a realistic schedule after the assessment, not before.
Building a new commercial pool?
New commercial construction follows the same framework as our residential builds, with additional compliance steps that can extend the schedule depending on the municipality and the scope of the project. We'll tell you where those steps fall before work starts.
Which finish holds up best on a commercial pool?
Commercial traffic increases chemical demand and physical wear. We install pebble, quartz and polished finishes, and help you choose based on how hard the pool is used.
| Finish | Quartz | Pebble | Polished |
|---|---|---|---|
| What it is | A cement-based finish blended with finely crushed quartz | Natural pebbles mixed with cement, exposing small stones for depth | Pebble with a polished, smooth surface |
| Feel | Smooth | Textured, natural | Smooth and soft, polished stone |
| Strength | Durable, with high chemical resistance | An aggregate finish built for durability under sustained high use | Pebble durability with a smoother surface |
| Best for | A bright, uniform look and a lower upfront investment | High-traffic pools where lifespan matters most | Durability with a smoother feel underfoot |
In our commercial guide we explain that aggregate and pebble finishes like PebbleTec can last 10 to 12 years in commercial use with proper maintenance. PebbleTec carries a 25-year manufacturer warranty and can only be installed by authorized applicators.
What affects the cost of commercial pool resurfacing?
Commercial estimates are free, and we prepare them after we assess the pool. These are the factors that shape scope and budget.
Pool size
Large community and resort pools need more material, more labor and more installation time.
Surface condition
Cracks, delamination or surfaces that have gone porous need more preparation before the new finish.
Finish selection
PebbleTec requires a higher upfront investment than quartz and is built for longer life under heavy use.
Tile and extra scope
New tile when needed, and any work you add to the same closure, changes the scope.
Timing
Planning the project in your slow season, instead of reacting to a failure, keeps both cost and downtime under control.
How to plan the closure with your residents and guests
The best commercial projects happen on a schedule the property chose, not the one damage forced.
Months ahead
- Schedule during your slow season; for most Florida properties that's fall or early winter
- Get a realistic timeline after an assessment, not a guess
- Budget it as a planned project rather than an emergency repair
Weeks ahead
- Tell residents or guests when the pool will close and for how long
- Confirm access for the crew, equipment and material staging
- Line up any board or management approvals your property needs
During the work
- The pool is fully out of service until the chemical start-up is complete
- Keep the work area closed to residents, guests and children
- We keep you updated so you can update your community
