Welcome back to our ongoing series where we help you, our readers, make informed decisions about the services you need. Today, we’re diving into the world of pool replastering, a necessary but often costly part of pool maintenance. We’ve gathered several quotes from reputable companies in the Dallas-Fort Worth area to give you a clear picture of what you might expect to pay for this service.
Kelly’s Pool Care
Total Cost: $5,859
Kelly’s Pool Care provided a quote that includes:
- Standard White Plaster: $5,234
- New Fittings and Drain Covers: $120
- Tile Spotters: $180
- Chemical Startup: $325
If you’re looking for a more premium finish, they offer an upgrade to Stonescapes mini pebble for an additional $2,450. While the base cost is reasonable, adding the upgrade pushes the price up significantly.
Our Take: This quote seems competitive for basic plaster, but if you’re considering upgrades, the price can quickly rise. It’s a solid option if you’re looking to stick with a standard finish.
Pacific Pool Plastering LLC
Pacific Pool Plastering offers a range of options, depending on the type of plaster you choose:
- White Plaster (1 Year Warranty): $4,750
- Luna Quartz Plaster (7 Year Warranty): $7,125
- Signature Matrix (15 Year Warranty): $8,075
- Prism Matrix (15 Year Warranty): $9,500
- Primera Stone Polished Plaster (15 Year Warranty): $12,350
They also include new main drain covers, fittings for jets, and startup chemicals at no extra charge. Notably, they provide free weekly chemical balancing for a week after the pool is filled.
Our Take: Pacific Pool Plastering offers a wide range of options and generous warranties, but the prices can get steep, especially for the higher-end finishes. Their attention to detail with crack repairs and post-fill maintenance adds value, making them a strong contender for those looking for premium services.
Castro’s Pool & General Contractors and EC Pool Services
Total Cost: $10,836
This joint quote from Castro’s Pool & General Contractors and EC Pool Services includes:
- New Pool Plaster (Diamond Brite Super Blue): $8,722
- Pool Preparation: $800
- Fresh Water Startup: $595
The total after taxes comes to $10,836.
Our Take: While the initial quote appears high, the use of Diamond Brite, a premium plaster known for its durability and vibrant colors, justifies the price. However, this might not be the best option if you’re looking to keep costs down.
Chihuahua Pool Plaster
Estimated Cost: $6,000 – $8,000
Chihuahua Pool Plaster didn’t provide a fixed quote but gave an estimated range depending on the materials chosen from a local supplier’s showroom. They don’t work with specific brands, so the final price will vary based on your selection.
Our Take: Chihuahua Pool Plaster offers flexibility in pricing, which can be a plus if you’re looking to stay within a budget. However, the lack of a specific brand might be a drawback for those who want a guarantee of quality or a known warranty.
Conclusion
Replastering your pool is a significant investment, and prices can vary widely depending on the materials used and the company you choose. From the competitive pricing of Kelly’s Pool Care to the premium offerings of Pacific Pool Plastering, there’s an option for every budget and need. If you’re looking for high-end finishes and are willing to pay a bit more, Pacific Pool Plastering and Castro’s Pool & General Contractors offer strong options. However, if budget is a concern, Kelly’s Pool Care and Chihuahua Pool Plaster might be your best bets.
As always, we recommend getting multiple quotes and considering both the immediate and long-term costs, including warranties and maintenance services. Happy swimming!
