Pool Resurfacing & Remodeling in Broward & Palm Beach County
Diamond Brite resurfacing (our default recommendation), pebble finishes, and full pool remodeling — for commercial properties, HOAs, and residential backyards across South Florida.
A tired, chalky, or stained pool finish isn't just cosmetic — it's usually the first thing a buyer, board member, or health inspector notices. We lead with Diamond Brite (the quartz-aggregate finish made right here in Broward County by SGM) for most jobs, with pebble finishes for properties prioritizing maximum lifespan, plus full remodels: new tile, decking, sun shelves, and water features.

How it works
Assessment & design
We evaluate the existing shell, finish, and equipment, then walk you through finish options — Diamond Brite or pebble — and design choices before any work is scheduled.
Drain, prep & resurface
For commercial properties, we plan the drain-to-reopen window around your operations; for homeowners, we plan around your schedule.
Finish, balance & startup
New surface, balanced water chemistry, and a proper startup so the finish cures correctly and lasts.
Florida paperwork for commercial pool resurfacing
A public or HOA pool can't just be re-plastered. Resurfacing involves two agencies, and the paperwork has to be in order before the pool reopens.
- Building permit from the city or county building department
- Notice of Resurfacing with the Florida Department of Health building code checklist
- DH 4157 anti-entrapment form when drain covers or sumps are replaced
- Gutter, step-marking, depth-marker, and ladder code items corrected during the job
- Final inspections and approval before the pool reopens
Frequently asked questions
What is Diamond Brite pool finish?
Diamond Brite is a quartz-aggregate pool finish made by SGM, Inc. in Pompano Beach — it blends natural colored quartz with fortified white Portland cement for a finish that's durable and colorful, backed by an extended manufacturer warranty (up to 10-year residential / 5-year commercial). It's our default recommendation for most resurfacing jobs.
Diamond Brite vs. pebble — which should I choose?
Diamond Brite is the practical choice for most properties: strong durability, 40+ colors, and a manufacturer warranty, at a mid-range cost. Pebble finishes cost more up front but typically last the longest with the most natural, textured look — worth it for a property planning to hold the finish long-term. We'll walk you through the tradeoffs for your specific pool.
How long does a pool resurface take?
Most resurfacing projects run 1–2 weeks from drain to reopening, depending on finish type and weather — we give you a firm window before work starts.
How often does a pool need to be resurfaced?
Diamond Brite and pebble finishes both hold up for years longer than older plaster-style finishes — commercial pools with heavier bather loads tend toward the shorter end of any range.
Can you resurface a commercial pool without a long closure?
We schedule the drain-to-reopen window as tightly as possible and coordinate with property management to minimize downtime.
Do you handle full remodels, not just resurfacing?
Yes — sun shelves, spas, water features, tile, decking, and lighting can all be part of the same project.
Does resurfacing a commercial pool in Florida require a permit?
Usually, yes. Resurfacing a public pool is treated as a repair or alteration under Florida Building Code Section 454.1.10, and building departments generally require a permit. The county health department also has a Notice of Resurfacing form and a code checklist. Requirements vary by city and county, so confirm locally.
