New Orleans Pool Builders provides professional pool resurfacing & replastering in New Orleans, LA for residential and commercial properties across Greater New Orleans and the Northshore. Pool resurfacing and replastering in New Orleans replaces the worn interior that makes an older pool feel rough underfoot and look permanently dirty, and here it also strips out years of organic staining that no brush will touch.
We chip out the failed surface, prep it properly, trowel on new pebble, quartz, or plaster in one continuous pour, and manage the 28-day start-up ourselves.
You need it when the floor feels like sandpaper, when gray clouds and brown organic streaks survive every scrubbing, when fine crazing spreads across the shallow end, or when gray gunite shows through the white. Plaster is a wear surface designed to be replaced.
Nothing has gone wrong; it has just finished its job. Finish choice matters, and our climate tilts the recommendation.
Standard white plaster gives roughly 8 to 12 years and is the cheapest route back to a clean pool, which suits a rental or a house you plan to sell.
Quartz adds hard aggregate and pigment, resists staining noticeably better, and buys a few more years. Pebble finishes such as PebbleTec put real river stone in the surface and commonly run 15 to 20 years.
In New Orleans we lean toward pebble and darker quartz for one specific reason: the organic load.
Oak pollen, leaf litter, tannins, and the algae pressure of a long humid season stain bright white plaster faster here than in a dry climate, and a textured aggregate finish simply does not show it the same way.
Prep separates a fifteen-year finish from a four-year headache. We drain with the water table in mind, using hydrostatic relief and never leaving a shell empty longer than necessary, because in this city an empty pool in saturated ground can float.
Then we chip the failed material back to sound substrate rather than skimming over it, cut out hollow or delaminated areas, acid etch, apply a bond coat, and trowel the new interior in a single continuous pour with no cold joints and consistent density.
We refill immediately, brush twice daily for the first week, and run the start-up chemistry for 28 days. More new plaster is ruined by a careless start-up than by bad troweling, and we would rather do it than explain it.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps and cartridge or DE filtration, saltwater chlorination — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve New Orleans and nearby communities including Metairie, Kenner, Gretna, Harvey.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool resurfacing & replastering
The difference between pool resurfacing & replastering that lasts and pool resurfacing & replastering that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, hydrostatic relief valves for a high water table, PebbleTec and quartz interior finishes, travertine and brick coping with glass waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every New Orleans job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Greater New Orleans and the Northshore means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
