Bakersfield’s hot summers and hard water can wear down a residential pool finish faster than many homeowners expect. Dull surfaces, staining, and rough spots not only diminish the look of your backyard retreat—they also invite costly structural problems. CountBricks specializes in Bakersfield pool plastering that restores beauty, preserves the shell, and adds years of enjoyment to your property. Our AI-powered estimating platform delivers transparent pricing and real-time material data, so you get a reliable budget before the first trowel touches concrete.
• Extreme summer heat expands concrete shells and accelerates plaster crazing
• Hard, mineral-rich water leaves scale deposits and discoloration
• Agricultural dust in the valley embeds into micro-cracks, causing surface staining
CountBricks technicians factor these local stressors into every mix design, selecting additives that increase strength and resist scale build-up.

Using voice conversation or text, tell CountBricks what you see around the pool. Our system converts your description into a precise square-foot takeoff and live material pricing, cutting traditional quoting time from days to minutes.
Dedicated Residential Crews
CountBricks field teams focus exclusively on residential jobs. That means respectful on-site behavior, tidy staging areas, and scheduling that works around family life.
End-to-End Visibility
Track every phase—from chip-out to acid wash—inside your secure client dashboard. Photos and progress notes upload in real time, so surprises disappear.
1. Digital Walkthrough: Record a 60-second video or schedule a live call. CountBricks AI maps dimensions and notes features like steps, benches, and spas.
2. Instant Estimate: See a line-item proposal on CountBricks.com/services, including materials, labor, and optional upgrades such as glass bead finishes.
3. Pre-Plaster Prep: Our crews drain the pool, perform a full chip-out, and pressure wash to ensure maximum bond strength.
4. Application Day: A dedicated plaster crew applies the chosen mix in a single continuous pour, smoothing by hand for a seamless surface.
5. Controlled Cure: We monitor water chemistry for 28 days and provide a maintenance kit so you avoid etching or mottling during the critical cure period.
• Classic White Marble: Bright, timeless, and cost-effective
• Quartz Aggregate: Higher density resists chemical damage and delivers subtle shimmer
• Pebble Blends: Textured, natural look that hides minor debris and offers foot-friendly grip
• Glass Bead Add-Ons: Scattered beads catch sunlight, creating a resort-style sparkle
• Pool size and complexity—curved walls and attached spas add labor hours
• Material selection—aggregate blends raise raw material costs but extend lifespan
• Access constraints—tight side-yard gates may require micro-equipment
• Structural repairs—cracks or delamination need patching before plastering begins
Our AI estimator ranks each factor, showing where to save and where not to compromise.
• Brush the entire surface twice weekly for the first month to prevent dust adhesion
• Maintain pH between 7.2 and 7.6 to avoid etching
• Use a calcium hardness monitor—Bakersfield water climbs above 400 ppm quickly
• Schedule an annual CountBricks inspection at CountBricks.com/portfolio to catch minor issues early

When the Martinez family bought a 1990s ranch home, the pool’s original plaster was flaking, and calcium nodules dotted the stairs. They recorded a short video tour with their phone, uploaded it to CountBricks.com, and received a full estimate—complete with material options—before weekend brunch.
• Scope: 650 sq ft free-form pool with elevated spa
• Chosen Finish: Quartz aggregate with aqua glass bead accent
• Timeline: 6 working days, including chip-out and startup
• Budget Accuracy: Final invoice matched AI estimate within 1.3 %
1. Smart Scheduling: Our platform predicted optimal crew availability, avoiding the summer heat spike and reducing set-up costs.
2. Material Optimization: Real-time pricing showed quartz only 7 % more than standard marble that week, so the family upgraded confidently.
3. Live Communication: Using the CountBricks dashboard, Mrs. Martinez checked curing pH logs without stepping outside—ideal for busy parents.
“CountBricks turned a stressful repair into a streamlined upgrade. The pool looks brand new, and the invoice matched the quote to the dollar.” — Carlos Martinez
• Schedule plastering in spring or fall to reduce cure-time evaporation
• Opt for a start-up chemistry kit; it costs less than a single stain treatment later
• Add LED niche lights during plastering—your shell is already exposed, saving future drill costs
