When the surface of an in-ground pool begins to fade, chip, or feel rough underfoot, most homeowners quickly turn to the internet asking one question: “What is the resurfacing a pool cost?” The answer is rarely one-size-fits-all. Material selection, pool size, regional labor rates, and even the time of year play major roles. At CountBricks, our AI-powered estimating platform lets you speak naturally through your phone or tablet while we calculate every variable in real time. No guesswork—just transparent numbers backed by up-to-the-minute material databases and a vetted network of residential construction pros.
• Surface material (plaster, quartz, pebble, glass bead, or eco-finish)
• Pool dimensions and shape complexity
• Substrate repair or crack remediation required before the new finish
• Access to the backyard for demolition and material staging
• Local permitting and inspection fees
• Regional labor demand and seasonal premiums
• Water refill, chemical rebalancing, and startup service
Using CountBricks.com/services, homeowners can weigh each factor side-by-side. Our AI engine assigns real-time pricing to every line item, allowing fast scenario planning—swap plaster for pebble and watch the total recalculate instantly.
Because CountBricks updates material costs daily, your personalized estimate may differ slightly, yet these ranges offer a solid starting point:
• White plaster: $4–$7 per square foot
• Quartz aggregate: $5–$8 per square foot
• Pebble finish: $7–$10 per square foot
• Glass bead or premium aggregate: $9–$14 per square foot
For a typical 400-square-foot residential pool, that equates to $1,600 on the low end (economy plaster) up to $5,600 or more for a premium glass bead surface. Labor, prep work, and startup chemicals frequently add 40-60 % to the raw material figure, bringing most complete projects into the $6,000–$12,000 bracket.
1. Digital Blueprint Upload or Voice Measurement: Snap a photo of your existing pool plan or simply dictate length, width, and depth. Our AI converts dimensions into precise square footage.
2. Surface Removal & Substrate Inspection: CountBricks automatically includes demolition disposal fees plus a contingency for patching hollow spots or re-bond-coating the shell.
3. Material Selection: Toggle between finishes and thicknesses. Each change updates both material and labor totals in seconds.
4. Mobilization & Site Access: Gate width, yard slope, and parking restrictions affect equipment choice. Our platform calculates whether a smaller pneumatic chisel crew or a full-size bobcat is required.
5. Refill & Chemical Startup: Finally, we estimate municipal water charges (or tanker delivery) and the first 30 days of balancing chemicals so your budget is truly all-in.

When the Wilsons in north Dallas noticed their 15-year-old plaster pool turning rough and staining, they wanted more than a cosmetic fix—they needed a long-term solution that fit a strict $10,000 budget. Instead of fielding multiple contractor visits, they opened the CountBricks mobile app and described their 16 × 28-foot rectangle pool in a two-minute voice session.
• CountBricks measured 448 square feet of surface area from the Wilsons’ uploaded blueprint
• Our engine priced quartz aggregate at $5.70 per square foot and generated a demolition, prep, and startup package totaling $9,280—comfortably inside budget
During a live screen-share, the Wilsons asked about upgrading to a pebble finish. One click showed the new total at $11,560. Seeing the overage in real time helped them stick with quartz and avoid buyer’s remorse.
Because CountBricks integrates crew calendars, the Wilsons selected a late-October slot—saving 7 % on labor over peak summer rates. In-app financing approval arrived in 45 seconds, splitting payments over 18 months at 0 % interest.
