Resurfacing Commercial and Residential Swimming Pools Since 1953!
Pool resurfacing is the process of stripping the old plaster, pebble, or fiberglass surface from your pool’s interior and applying a fresh finish. Most Bay Area pools need it every 8 to 15 years, depending on water chemistry and finish type. Adams Pool Solutions has resurfaced thousands of residential and commercial pools since 1953 using plaster, pebble, and glass bead finishes. See what the process involves below, or call (925) 828-3100 for a free on-site estimate.
We use our own crews for all phases of the job unless the work involves gunite or concrete flatwork. Our control over the quality of the work as well as scheduling has helped us to build an impressive body of satisfied customers. Every project has an onsite project supervisor whose mission is to ensure your complete satisfaction.
White plaster typically lasts 7 to 10 years. Pebble aggregate finishes, including PebbleTec, PebblePlus, and similar products, last 15 to 25 years depending on water chemistry and care. The surface preparation method matters as much as the material: hydroblasting creates a mechanical bond that outlasts surfaces applied over jackhammer-prepped shells.
Cost depends on pool size, surface material, and the condition of the existing shell. White plaster is the most economical option. Pebble aggregate finishes cost more upfront but last two to three times longer, which changes the math over a 15-to-20-year horizon.

A straightforward surface preparation and resurfacing project is typically complete in 7 to 10 days. Additional scope adds time: new tile and coping, masonry repairs, plumbing, or equipment upgrades. Once we start, completing your project as quickly as possible is the priority.
Yes. California requires a building permit for any swimming pool project, including replastering and resurfacing. Adams handles the permit process on your behalf. You pay the permit fees directly to the city or county, and we manage the paperwork and inspection coordination.
Hydroblasting uses 40,000 PSI water pressure to strip the old pool surface instead of jackhammers. Traditional mechanical removal sends shock waves into the concrete shell, creating micro-fractures that cause bond failures within five to seven years. Hydroblasting removes the old surface without damaging the shell underneath, which is why Adams backs every hydroblasted resurfacing with a 10-year bond warranty, one of the strongest in the industry.
The future of concrete surface preparations. This state of the art process is revolutionizing the swimming pool renovation industry.
