Sacramento’s hot summers and cool, damp winters demand a durable finish on every residential swimming pool. When the surface begins to stain, chip, or feel rough underfoot, it is time to consider new plaster. CountBricks combines AI-driven takeoffs, real-time voice data capture, and field-tested crews to deliver the smoothest pool plaster Sacramento homeowners can find.
Pool plaster is far more than a cosmetic layer. It seals concrete shells, protects rebar from oxidation, and provides the gentle texture swimmers expect. Worn plaster can:
• Raise chemical consumption as water seeks equilibrium
• Create algae harborage in pits and cracks
• Hurt feet and swimsuits with abrasive edges
Addressing these issues early keeps operating costs low and preserves property value.
Sacramento’s clay soils shift between rainy seasons and dry heat waves. Those movements transfer stress to pool shells, accelerating plaster deterioration. CountBricks technicians adjust mix designs to accommodate local water chemistry and ambient temperatures, ensuring long-term bond strength.
Traditional bids rely on manual measurement and paper notes. CountBricks replaces both with:
• Live voice capture while onsite—every dimension, crack, and skimmer is transcribed instantly
• AI blueprint takeoffs that calculate square footage to within a quarter-inch
• Real-time material pricing pulled directly into our estimate engine
The result? Homeowners receive a firm, line-item proposal within minutes. Visit CountBricks.com/services to see the estimating dashboard in action.

CountBricks consultants help you weigh budget, maintenance, and aesthetic goals before choosing a product.
1. Drain & Prep: Water is pumped to sewer cleanouts per local code. Hydrostatic plugs are opened to relieve pressure.
2. Demo: Pneumatic chisels remove failing plaster without harming the gunite shell.
3. Substrate Repair: CountBricks masons patch hollow spots, rust stains, and bond beam cracks.
4. Bond Coat: A cementitious adhesive layer ensures new plaster fuses to the shell.
5. Plaster Application: Our crew shoots, trowels, and water-cures the chosen mix under strict temperature guidelines.
6. Startup: Water chemistry is balanced over seven days to lock in color uniformity.
• Average white plaster pool (15,000 gal) takes three working days from drain to fill
• Pebble finishes require an extra day for acid wash and polish
• Allocate 5 percent contingency for unexpected shell repairs

• Brush entire surface twice weekly during first month
• Maintain pH between 7.2 and 7.6—our startup tech provides a week of free testing
• Keep calcium hardness above 200 ppm to prevent leaching
• Use soft nylon brushes on pebble finishes to retain aggregate shine
