- Had my pool re-plastered. Found a way to save lots of $. Not trying to blast any pool builders or discredit them. There are lots of reputable pool builders out there that are well worth the extra investment. Unfortunatley there's many people out there that bare this extra expense and they can't afford it. I'm just showing how I was able to save. I'm sure it's a gamble. It may or may not last but it is an option.

Thank you for sharing your story and great money saving tip with the sub contractor.
Congratulations! You have a beautiful pool! And what a deal you got!
Thank you so much for your great video and advice! My pool need replaster this winter . The diamond tiles looks beautiful on those steps .
Would love to see another video from you on how you maintain your pool!
I really like the tiles on the edge of the stairs. Gave me a good idea. Anytime I have some older family or people over to swim they don’t like the white plaster cause they have a hard time seeing the edge of the stairs. I’m having mine plastered next spring and I’m definitely doing the tiles on the stairs.
Thank you for the advice.
Thank you 😊
Great advice !!!
Your pool is gorgeous 😍
Thank you! It’s my oasis when I get home from work. :)
Love how well you take care of your pool and lovely back yard. Your pool water is gorgeous! So clear. Great job. Those tiles on the steps are nice, easier to see when the water is moving and your eyes are blurry from swimming!
Great vid and information. Thanks for great info.
Looks great. Appreciate the info.
Thank you sir for this helpful video
Very informative! Good job!!!
Thank you for the pricing estimate. I wish more people would do this. At least now i have a ball park area on pricing
That's a great way to get it done, I never thought of doing that. I got my replaster in 2019 at around $7200 in Southern California. I have taken care of my pool from day one and the plaster lasted from 1988. With this new plaster, I expect to get another 30 years, by half hour daily upkeep, easy.
thank you sir. very helpful video.
Looks beautiful....
Looks nice, enjoy it!
Thank you very much. This is very helpful information. BTW, what size pool did you have?
Good tip: if you're ever driving around and see construction crews working on a neighbor's house or something like that, pull over, find the lead guy and get his number. You never know when your gonna need it. More times than not, these are subs working for a contractor that you can hire on your own. However, the plus side of hiring a contractor is not having to manage the work yourself + contractors are typically licensed and insured.
rickflo I just put new floors down on my 1st floor of my house. I got the card of the lead guy and he said he would do my upstairs at less than half the cost. You’re correct and is a good tip.
A great tip, and that's exactly what i do and have met and used some great guys. I don't have a problem with people making money per se but i don't like paying the overheads of the guys at the top (their cars, their houses etc etc) especially as quite often they haven't got their hands dirty. Perhaps that's just me.
Good job looks good
👍🏻👍🏻 great tips
DANG!! I WISH I BYPASSED POOL GUY!! TY for sharing.
This advice helped I hired subcontractors and paid $3600 for replastered. So glad I stumbled on this video. Thanks A Mil
C.K Lee how do you find them?
how do you find a subcontractor ?
Bohdy Karnas I actually took the video advice and went to Facebook Market place. My pool looked horrible it was empty for 6yrs and they brought it back to new for only 3600.00 so try Facebook Marketplace search for pool repair.
Maira Khan I took his advice and went to Facebook Market place and found someone. $3600
Hello, I could not find any subcontractors on fb,searched on marketplace for 'pool repair', pulled up pnly pools for delivery... could you please direct me,tthank you
That's right, Viva la Raza!! Peace from Vegas.
Awesome video and information. I'm in Florida and needing to do the same thing. Wish that I could communicate with you to get a little more information.
I had my pool sprayed last year and ran out of good weather so they couldn’t plaster it there supposed to plaster it next Saturday but man the pool is filled with dirt leaves and dirty water from the winter, I guess they will clean it and sand it before the plaster goes on
nice you got lucky, gotta be extra careful of people who don't have a solid reputation they can turn out to be horrible scammers
thats a great Deal!
Good catch on the contractors, I'm going to do some by passing to... thanks...
I highly recommend not doing this most pool builder's remodeling companies give 5 or 10 year warrenty. Employ hard working respectful people and all in all its the prep work thats important. 72 hours start to finish sounds scary. Pool will definitely not last as long as the first. It takes days to prep out a pool and is very hard dusty work chipping hammers grinders with diamond blades it can take a week and 4 or 5 guys to just prep a pool using hammers and a fine tuned ear to no what plaster needs to go and what can stay. Definitely recomend a good licence and innsuered crew. If you just pick up a cheep Mexican crew you are cheating your self and all the business that work hard and long hours making things right
@@sevenonesixdr2191 why do they have to be mexican you a fuckin moron
This is America. That's how you save on labor. You fucking idiot.
@@sevenonesixdr2191 sorry my dear I literally watch a mother of two built her own pool from scratch to the finish her husband film until she completed her project...I’m telling u from to completion..he may not have showed his video of the job..but his video is to remolding so yes I can be done.....I hope it’s because of who the workers are...& I’m Caribbean baby & let me tell u ..put respect in ambitious ppl....u missed his whole point he just cut out the middle man...
@Kevin Justin & he missed the point cutting out the middle man ...fox maybe he’s the one he fired😅😂🤣that’s why he’s hating sooo bad by his choice of words...or he maybe a jealous neighbor or friend/relative😅😂🤣🤔🥃
I’m on the fence of sticking with plaster vs quartz/pebble sheen. Seems like if I can score a deal the plaster may be ok.
Did you just throw the water away that was in the pool, and did your cost include refilling the pool? Here in FL they charge about $500 per 5000 gallons, or you can fill it with a hose but it takes longer and will probably cost about the same. Also, did they remove all the plaster or just around the tile?
Great video sir what are the dimensions of your pool
I have Gunite is that what you had? I would love to see the lights at night… how did you put lights in
I just got a quote for re-plastering and re-tiling my 8,000 gallon pool in AZ and it was over $17k.
Wow!
That’s a hell of a deal.
Do you generally need to pull a permit to resurface a pool?
(I’m From South Florida)
Thank you!! I used your idea to refinish my spa in Southern California after getting quotes from $6-13K for a small spa. I went on Facebook Marketplace and searched for pool repair and found multiple people offering services. Ended up costing me $3,000 for micro pebble and tile.
Hi, I'm about to re-plaster my pool do you mind sending me the contact info of the guys you hired?THanks
Do you have the info?
you have the contact info?
I also need to re-plaster my pool so please post their contact info especially if they are anywhere near north San Diego county.
I tried to search FB marketplace and CL but could not find anything, maybe I was using wrong keywords to search...
got the contact for the vendor?
wait, the floor bubbles up when it's empty?
Dam good deal
Thats crazy. Here in Kentucky (philpot, very small town) we are getting a 15x27x 12 ft pool resurfaced for 2.2k. We could get a liner installed for 8k
8k to remove plaster from 14x24 x 6ft pool
how many mils thick was their plaster? did you see?
This is fantastic! What was the exact search terms you used to find the subcontractors? Pool subcontractor?
Frank Miraglia just pool plaster.
@@bjyachts awesome, thank you. This will come in very handy!
Hi. This is a great video with very good info!! How do I search for a subcontractor? Would I search subcontractor for pools specifically or just any subcontractor? Thanks in advance!
I found this one on Facebook marketplace.
dont you love your Polaris I keep rebuilding mine through out the years. I tried another one and it sucked compared to it
awesome :)
Thank u for speak highly of us fb plasters on our self employed shit salute u sir
How do you maintain your pool? Beautiful pool!
maintaining any body of water, be it a bird bath or mega swimming pool, is work and / or money!
20k in Vero Beach
It sure helps! Most people don't understand that in order to bypass the contractors you need to know what is involved in the process and the condition of the pool. Imagine, how much you could have saved if you could talk to the subcontractor if you knew SPANISH. (we know who does the job)
Could you share the guus info please? Thank you.
can u make a video and post ur details of pool water chemical care routine? Can u ask the subcontractor you hired if you can post his contact info here on youtube please?
May I ask where you live? My pools a mess..in Vegas...they quote 8500....yeah!!! Yours sounds much better...so I go straight to a subcontractor...on craigslist for pool building or replastering? Thanks!
I’m in Texas south of Houston. I found mine on Facebook Marketplace. Good luck!
What’s is the name of the subcontractor he did s great job
Yes please provide info of the subcontractor.
Would love the number of that subcontractor

Where do you live and what was the name of the contractor?
What year was your pool replastered? And where are you located?
Lorin Kenfield October of last year. I’m on the Texas Gulf Coast.
How did you find the subcontractors? What'd you search for?
I received the names of 2 contractors from an Orlando, Florida area tile supply in business for 60 years. They sell pool tile to the contractors and know who purchases significant amount of product. Both tile contractors also do the refinish. I received estimates of 40 to 50 percent of the cost provided by the large companies that subcontract the work.
Any tips on how to go about finding the sub?

I'm on Texas Gulf Coast. could I get the contractors info please?
Hi great video and information, I live in Sarasota just had my pool drained they also punched 6 holes 🕳 in my pool for the same reason, can you hook me up with the subcontractors number? I would love to have them do my pool thanks...
I'm in Bradenton. Did you find someone to do it here?
Would be helpful to know your pool size in gallons. Any regrets or recommendations since you had this done?
I think it’s 22,000 gallons. I know most the quotes were anywhere from 2 to 3 times as much. No regrets. It’s holding up like it was done yesterday.
Sir, What state are you in? I live in northern VA and need to replaster my pool and the pool guy that came today was charging me $7,200, but bc of your video I was able to find a few local companies for more than half the price. So thank you for posting this video. 🙏🏽✝️😇👍🏽

Believe it or not I found them on Facebook garage sale.
thank you sir
I'm in the same position as you're in..my pool is a mess..bubbling and horrible...I'm so happy I came across this youtube ad....a widow and have to do all this crap myself and wjen someone comes over to give a quote they kinda take advantage of the situation...
my pool was plastered 2 years ago but there are some cracks showing, is it time yet to replaster or wait more?
What tends to float up? Talking about holes in bottom of pool
The pool structure it self will raise off the dirt because the weight of the water isn’t there. Any moisture under the pool can come through the holes.
@@bjyachts ok, do they got to make the holes before letting the water out
@@david2881 after they empty the pool
That was dirt cheap. I don’t believe these prices are all the same across the states. I paid 14 K in Ca
You overpaid haha
As long as it looks good it's worth it I guess lol
If you live in Canada you are expected to over pay. OUR government promotes it.

So the pool sat empty for a couple of days after the holes were filled?

Nice pool, and great job that you found a subcontractor to redo plaster your pool.
Last year I lost $500 for a security payment to a very well known pool company in Phoenix, Arizona. The pool I planned to build is 16'x32' which cost $40K. Just a simple rectangular pool, no water fountain or anything. I think it's ridiculous so I canceled it and lost $500, because the builder already submitted the plan to the city. Now, I am researching to build my own pool, hopefully I will start it this year and get it done by next year. Can't wait to get my own pool.
40,000?!? Geeshhhhhh is that what these type of pools cost?
Go with rectangular shaped pool, I would never do a kidney shaped pool again!
did you ever get your pool?
damn $3400??? what a great deal
How did you find sub-contractor?
Facebook marketplace
Wow ! I know this video is 3 years old but the quotes you got to replaster are so low compared to the one we just got for our 16’ x30’ pool in Fl.For replastering, new tile, and replacing Kooldeck with tile pavers $23,000! We’re seriously considering doing it ourselves or having it filled in☹️.
That's not a bad price. It would be more up here in Michigan.
Does your Pentair 601002 IntelliBrite 5G Color Underwater LED Pool Light, 120 Volt, 100 still work well? I've seen a lot of bad reviews. Looks like you have had yours for a couple years so I wanted to get your opinion before spending the money
Still works great!
Thank you for your quick response
What is what the did to prep the surface ? Did they chip the old plaster did they sandblasted it if they just acid washed it because for that amount they barely pay for material and labor
They chipped away the plaster around all the fittings and tile. They replaced all fittings, drains as well as new tile. It's been 2-1/2 years now and it looks as good as the day they did it.
Does that include a new pool light installation?
No. My son in law and I installed that
@@bjyachts Okay, thank you. I was quoted $28,000 but it includes light replacement, plaster redone, & coping redone. I just don't know if I'm being taken or not.
I live in Phoenix and would be interested in speaking with your contractor. Your pool looks great.Thanks for the video
Thanks Christine. Unfortunately the contractor doesn't work outside of our area.
@@bjyachts thank you for your response.
Here in Phoenix I found a contractor for 3,500 to plaster my pool pretty good work
@juan villa I live in phoenix as well. Can you please provide me the contact info as well. Thank you:)

Hello. I’m in Orange County, Ca. In a single Mom and I’m getting so many very high quotes. How do I find the subcontractors? Thanks. Amy. 😀
Amy Zax I found mine on Facebook.
Did you find a sub-contractor in OC ? I am also looking for one
Do you have their contact information
Did that includ e material
Yes
Not to be a negative Nellie out there...But questions for you. Did you say they did not remove the old plaster? Sounds like they did a bond coat? Maybe why there was such a cost difference? Also, did you check their license and make sure they had workers comp insurance? What was their written warranty? FB marketplace guys in our area often "borrow" a friend's license then hire cash labor putting you the homeowner at risk. Injuries at your home, mean lawyers can take you to court and you will settle paying way more. Rarely have I seen an apples-to-apple comparison out there. A lot of these guys work for other plaster companies in your local area, then get hired on by a "friend" to do a quick job and make some cash. I've been on both sides of these transactions, take it from a pro or leave it. Just my thoughts.
my pool was plastered 2 years ago but there are some cracks showing, is it time yet to replaster or wait more?
Agree, if they finished in 48h that mean that they didn't remove the old plaster cause that would take them another day or two
The texture is so you don’t slip
You could’ve done it yourself maybe with 8-10 gallons of Epoxy plaster paint way cheaper the labor is always the most expensive part materials are always cheaper but in some cases Labor is cheaper than materials the epoxy plaster paint lasts 10-15 years if you keep up the pool and don’t use excessive chemicals like the ones they try to sell you at pool supply stores
Hi, I am in Houston and need to replaster my pool. I was wondering if you had still had contact details for person who did your work? Thanks
Don't know if he's still doing it. 832-935-7429 "Your Pool Replaster". It still looks as good as the day he did it!
@@bjyachts Thank you!
Thank you for your video, i need to do the same thing , can you provider me the phone # those pepole please
Replaster for me was about $8,000. Water was about $1250. This is on a 18' x 38' pool. Mine was done by an actual plasterer, not a pool contractor.
What pool chemicals do you use to make your plaster last so long?
what do you mean by water was $1250? Didn't you use your own water to fill it out ?
@@MrMusic55123 No. I had two semi trucks deliver the water right when the plasterers were done. After plastering, you need to get water in the pool faster than my garden hose and well pump can provide, so it doesn't crack. Plus, at the time my state was under a severe drought so pumping 27,000 gallons out of my well continuously wouldn't have been a great idea.
Damn, toss the info of the crew. Phone number, name of company. So they never chipped the pool, just through an overlay.
to be honest, it doesn't sound like a proper full re plastering job.
just the labor to remove the old plaster should have been more than 3500? it sounds like they applied a bonding agent and a new coating of one of the newer pool plasters.
not critisizing though, at 3500 though even if it only lasts 5 years... you are way far ahead of the ball there.
"Proper" is pretty debatable. If the old plaster was just ugly or cracked, then it's not necessary to chip it all off. You can go around the pool and look for spots where it's lifting off and then smash them away and keep the rest of the old plaster. Like, I agree that removing all of the old plaster is definitely more thorough, but I don't agree that it's necessary all of the time. It really depends.
