Whether you own a backyard pool, an aging stucco façade, or a classic plaster patio, time and weather gradually erode the smooth finish you fell in love with. Cracks, discoloration, and rough spots aren’t just cosmetic—they invite water intrusion, compromise structural integrity, and reduce property value. A professional replaster restores beauty, safety, and long-term durability. At CountBricks, we combine decades of hands-on craftsmanship with industry-leading AI estimate generation to make every residential replastering project crystal clear from day one.
• Visible cracking that catches fingernails or traps dirt
• Staining that acid washing no longer removes
• Delamination or hollow sounds when tapped
• Rough surfaces that irritate skin or snag swimwear
• Frequent chemical imbalance in pool water despite treatment
• Increased energy bills due to hidden leaks
Traditional estimating often means lengthy site visits, handwritten notes, and ballpark figures that change mid-project. CountBricks flips that script.
• Voice-to-Estimate Technology – Walk around your pool or patio while speaking to our mobile app. AI captures dimensions, condition notes, and photos in real time.
• Live Materials Database – Our platform pulls current prices for plaster mixes, bonding agents, pigments, and finish coats, ensuring cost accuracy down to the day.
• Automated Task Sequencing – Labor hours, crew size, cure time, and cleanup are built into the estimate instantly.
• Shareable Quote Documents – One tap creates a branded PDF for HOA approvals or financing needs.
• AI Blueprint Takeoffs – Upload legacy plans or drone imagery; CountBricks auto-detects areas requiring replaster and calculates volumes to the quart.
1. Surface Evaluation – CountBricks pros inspect substrate integrity, thickness, and potential leak points.
2. Digital Scope Definition – Using CountBricks.com/services, you select texture, color additives, and waterproofing options.
3. Demo & Prep – Existing loose plaster is hydro-blasted away while our AI automatically updates quantities for disposal and replacement.
4. Bond Coat Application – A high-adhesion polymer layer guarantees new plaster integrates with the original shell.
5. New Plaster Render – Two or three coats are troweled to a uniform 3/8” thickness. Embedded quartz or pebble finishes are added as specified.
6. Curing & Start-Up – Controlled hydration schedules are synced to your phone so you know exactly when to refill a pool or resume foot traffic.
7. Final QA & Handover – Our inspectors scan the finished surface, log moisture readings, and upload a warranty certificate to your CountBricks client portal.
Surface Area
The bigger the square footage, the more plaster, bonding agent, and labor hours required. CountBricks AI breaks costs down per square foot so you can see savings when grouping adjacent areas.
Access & Logistics
Narrow side yards, limited street parking, or remote properties affect crew setup time. Our estimates adjust mobilization costs automatically.
Material Upgrades
Quartz and glass bead finishes cost more than standard white plaster but offer longer life and richer aesthetics. CountBricks live pricing lets you toggle options and watch the total update instantly.
Climate Considerations
Hot, arid regions demand rapid-set formulas and extended curing schedules. The system accounts for local weather forecasts to plan labor days efficiently.
• Book during shoulder seasons to access off-peak material pricing.
• Bundle repairs—tile replacement or coping reset—with replaster for single-mobilization savings.
• Opt for light tints to mask future mineral stains.
• Maintain constant water chemistry during the curing period to avoid mottling.
• Use the CountBricks client dashboard to track task completion in real time.
Homeowners Carlos and Maya Rivera noticed their 20-year-old pool losing two inches of water a week. They contacted CountBricks through the instant chat on CountBricks.com. Within 15 minutes, an estimator guided them through a voice-recorded walk-through. AI flagged 950 square feet for replaster, 60 linear feet of cracked perimeter tile, and a failing hydrostatic valve.
The Riveras received a line-item quote that same afternoon. Material selections, including a Caribbean blue quartz finish, were finalized on the CountBricks interactive palette tool. Work began the next Monday, finished in six working days, and came in 3% under the projected cost thanks to real-time material price drops captured by our platform.
• Brush the surface daily for the first week to prevent calcium nodules.
• Keep pH between 7.2 and 7.6 for pools; rinse patio plaster after cleaning agents.
• Schedule a CountBricks annual inspection to detect hairline cracks before they spread.
• Avoid draining a pool in temperatures above 85°F without professional guidance.
• Re-seal exposed plaster stairs or benches every three years for maximum lifespan.

Replastering is the perfect moment to layer in additional improvements that increase comfort and resale value without a separate mobilization.
1. LED Lighting Retrofits – Modern low-voltage fixtures install flush during the plaster stage, eliminating future drilling.
2. Energy-Efficient Pump Swaps – Removing old circulation lines exposes plumbing manifolds, giving technicians quick access for upgrades.
3. Smart Automation – CountBricks technicians pre-route conduits for Wi-Fi pump controls and chemical sensors before the final coat goes on.
4. Solar Heating Integration – Sleeve in return lines so rooftop panels can be added later with minimal disruption.
5. Safety Ledges – For families with young swimmers, trowel-in resting shelves add peace of mind and aesthetic depth.
• Moisture Mapping – Infrared scans verify complete drying between coats.
• Mix Tracking – Every batch of plaster is logged in the CountBricks cloud, tying lot numbers to your warranty.
• Cure-Day Alerts – Automated texts remind homeowners to brush surfaces and balance water chemistry.
• Final 3-Point Inspection – Visual, acoustic, and chemical checks ensure zero voids and perfect adhesion.
The Hayes family owns a 1930s Spanish-style home with ornate stucco soffits showing spider cracking. Using CountBricks AI blueprint takeoffs, our team mapped 1,400 square feet of intricate archways straight from drone imagery. The platform recommended a lime-enhanced plaster mix suitable for historic properties. Work crews staggered 6-hour shifts to respect neighborhood noise ordinances, and the project finished five days early. Post-repairs, the home’s appraised value jumped by 8%—proof that strategic replaster investments pay dividends.
