Hello, neighbors! At Backyard-A-Gan Pool Service, we believe there’s no better time than now — as the weather begins to cool off here in Texas — to take care of your pool’s surfaces and make sure it’s ready for another fantastic season.
When it comes to pool resurfacing and plaster services, early fall offers ideal conditions: your pool may be quieter, and the mild weather lets us work efficiently while minimizing disruption. With that in mind, let’s dive in to what we offer, why resurfacing matters, and how choosing Backyard-A-Gan ensures you’ll enjoy your backyard like never before.
Why Pool Resurfacing & Plaster Services Matter
Over time, the surfaces of your pool endure a lot of wear: chemical exposure, UV rays, weather changes, abrasion from use, even minor structural shifts. If your pool is showing any signs of surface deterioration — rough patches, stains, fading, chipped plaster — then it’s time to consider resurfacing.
Here’s why addressing it now is a great move:
-
Prepares you for next season: With cooler weather setting in, we can get your pool surface refreshed so you’re ready for warmer days ahead.
-
Improves safety and comfort: A smoother, newer surface is gentler on feet and less likely to harbor algae or grime.
-
Extends the life of your pool: Resurfacing can delay larger, more costly repairs or full replacements.
-
Boosts aesthetics and home value: A sparkling-fresh pool surface makes your backyard pop and adds to your home’s appeal.
At Backyard-A-Gan, our resurfacing and plaster services are designed to do just that — restore your pool’s look, performance, and longevity.
Our Pool Resurfacing & Plaster Services
We offer a comprehensive suite of services under our pool resurfacing and plastering program. Whether your pool needs minor touch-ups or a full overhaul, we have you covered.
You can learn more about these services in detail on our Pool Resurfacing page.
1. Full Surface Assessment
Before any work begins, our team performs a detailed inspection of the existing pool surface: checking plaster condition, tile and coping integrity, presence of cracks or chips, staining, surface porosity, and any underlying structural concerns.
2. Preparation & Demolition
If necessary, we remove loose or damaged plaster, chip out deteriorating tile or coping, and prepare the surface for a fresh application. Proper preparation ensures long-term performance and helps prevent future problems.
3. Plaster Application (Traditional & Modern Finishes)
We apply high-quality pool plaster to restore the interior finish. Whether you prefer a classic white plaster or want upgraded aggregates or colored finishes, we have options that meet budget, aesthetic, and durability goals. The new plaster gives your pool a crisp, clean look and a smoother feel underfoot.
4. Aggregate Finishes & Specialty Coatings
For customers who want a premium look and feel, we offer upgraded finishes such as pebble aggregate, quartz blends, or other specialty coatings. These finishes enhance durability, resist staining and etching, and elevate the pool’s appearance.
5. Tile & Coping Repairs
While resurfacing the interior, we also address the perimeter surfaces — repairing or replacing tile, coping stones, and edge profiles. This ensures a seamless transition from water to deck and contributes to the overall aesthetic and structural integrity.
6. Acid Wash / Bead Blast (When Needed)
If your pool surface has accumulated stubborn stains, mineral deposits, or scaling, we may use an acid wash or bead blast technique to strip away build-up before resurfacing. This helps the new finish bond properly and ensures a uniform look.
7. Final Fill & Balancing
Once the new surface is installed, we refill the pool, balance the water chemistry, and re-start the circulation system. We’ll also walk you through maintenance recommendations to preserve your fresh surface for years to come.
8. Preventive Maintenance & Ongoing Care
Resurfacing is only as good as the maintenance that follows. We offer follow-up services and inspections to help you protect your investment — including regular pool cleaning, chemical checks, filter servicing, and more. Our full-service maintenance ensures your pool stays in top shape. You can explore all our ongoing care options through our Pool Company Services page.
Why Fall Is the Smart Time to Act
We often hear from homeowners who wait until the last minute or even until spring to consider resurfacing. By then, the workload is heavier, scheduling is tighter — and the warm weather pressures are already on. Here’s why now, with the weather cooling off, is a smart moment:
-
Availability: Contractors and crews often have more open schedules in the fall, so you may get faster turnaround and more flexible timing.
-
Better conditions: Moderate temperatures are ideal for plaster curing and finish application. Too hot or too cold can affect how the surface sets.
-
Less disruption: With fewer swimmers and less demand, work can proceed with minimal impact to your outdoor enjoyment.
-
Avoid spring rush: Get ahead of the busier season, secure your spot, and enjoy your refreshed pool when others are still waiting.
-
Prepare for next swim season: A completed resurfacing in fall means when the warm weather returns, you’re ready to dive right in — no delays, no surprises.

Common Questions About Pool Resurfacing
How long does resurfacing take?
Typically, resurfacing can be completed in 5-10 business days depending on pool size, finish type, and weather conditions. We’ll provide a timeline tailored to your project.
How long will the new surface last?
With proper maintenance, a quality plaster surface can last 8-15 years; upgraded finishes like pebble or quartz blends may last even longer with proper care.
Will I need to drain and leave the pool empty for long?
Yes, draining and refilling are standard, but we work to minimize downtime and help you get back to enjoying the pool as quickly as possible.
Are there special maintenance requirements for the new surface?
Yes. After resurfacing, it’s important to maintain balanced water chemistry (pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness), clean the surface, and avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive behavior. We’ll provide detailed care guidelines.
Can you change the finish or color during resurfacing?
Absolutely. If you’re interested in upgrading the look — for example, choosing a different color plaster, adding aggregate, or going with a specialty coating — we’ll help you select the best option for aesthetics and durability.
