How do you know when it's time to have your inground pool replastered? There isn't just one answer or set amount of time because it depends on the individual wear and tear of each pool. With over 30 years of pool experience, Gutierrez Pool Plastering in Scotch Plains, NJ indicates some of the common ways to gauge if your pool needs to be remodeled.

Looking for these three signs will help determine when it’s time to give Gutierrez Pool Plastering a call to replaster your pool:

• Patches of Gunite: Gunite is the material that makes up the basin of your pool underneath the plaster. Gunite looks and feels like concrete; Shotcrete is another Gunite-like option for pools. If you see Gunite or Shotcrete starting to peek through the plaster, your pool may need to be replastered.

• Stained Plaster: Minerals in the water like copper or iron will start to stain your plaster over a period of years. To refresh the plaster of your pool, schedule a replastering appointment before pool season.
• Rough Surface: It’s one thing to have a textured pool surface, but it’s quite another to have rough or cracked plaster. You’ll be able to see the plaster wearing away, and you will feel it by running your hand over it. To avoid snagged bathing suits and scratched limbs, call Gutierrez Pool Plastering to schedule a pool remodeling appointment.
