Why Proper Prep Matters for Pool Painting
Pool surfaces endure constant abuse from chemicals, UV rays, and fluctuating water temperatures. To ensure a long-lasting finish, our preparation process is exhaustive. We begin with heavy-duty pressure washing to remove loose debris, followed by an acid wash and etching process that opens the concrete's pores for maximum paint adhesion. Minor cracks are filled to prevent leaks and surface irregularities. We strictly adhere to mandatory drying times before the first coat is applied to prevent bubbling or peeling. Please note: The pool must be completely drained before we arrive, and our services are focused on cosmetic resurfacing, not major structural repairs.

Pool Painting FAQs
Q: How much does pool painting cost?
A: Pricing depends on pool size, current surface condition, and how much prep is needed. We provide an itemized free estimate before any work begins.
Q: How long does pool painting take, including dry time?
A: The painting itself typically takes 2-4 days, plus additional cure time before refilling — timelines vary based on weather and coating type.
Q: How often does a concrete pool need to be repainted?
A: Most concrete/gunite pools need repainting every 3-7 years, depending on chemical use, sun exposure, and the quality of the previous coating.
Q: Can you fix cracks or rough spots before painting?
A: We fill minor cosmetic cracks and rough spots as part of our standard prep process. We do not perform structural pool repairs — any significant structural issues would need to be addressed by a pool repair specialist before we paint.
Q: Do you drain or refill the pool?
A: No — we handle surface prep and painting only. Your pool needs to be drained before we arrive, and you'll refill it yourself once we confirm the coating has fully cured.
Q: What time of year do you recommend painting a pool?
A: Spring, before opening season, is ideal so the pool is ready and fully cured by the time you want to swim — but we can work around your schedule depending on when the pool is drained.
