The cost-per-year math
The sticker prices mislead if you stop there. A $7,000 plaster job that lasts ten years costs $700 a year; an $11,000 pebble job that lasts twenty costs $550 a year — and skips an entire drain, chip-out and construction week in between. If you plan to stay in the house, the premium finish is usually the cheaper one. If you plan to sell within five years, plaster's lower sticker often wins. That is the whole decision, and we will run it with you honestly at the estimate.
Why package pricing is real
Tile, coping, crack repair and deck work all price lower inside a resurfacing project than as standalone jobs, for a mechanical reason: the pool is already drained, the crews and equipment are already in your backyard, and the sequencing overlaps. The discount is not a promotion — it is shared mobilization cost. It is also why the right time to fix everything is the one project where the pool is already empty.
Reading resurfacing bids
Compare scope, not just totals: does the bid include full chip-out or a bond coat over old plaster (both can be right — but they are different jobs), startup chemistry and the 28-day cure protocol, and itemized line pricing you can adjust? A vague one-number bid hides its corners. And treat door-knock 'resurface specials' after a drought summer the way you would treat any storm-chaser trade — carefully.
