Plaster vs. Pebble vs. Quartz What’s Best for Your Pool Resurface?

Not All Pool Surfaces Are Created Equal

If you're planning a pool remodel or resurfacing project in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, choosing the right surface is one of the most important decisions you'll make. Each finish plaster, pebble, or quartz offers a different look, lifespan, feel, and price point.

Let’s break down the differences so you can make the best choice for your backyard, budget, and lifestyle.

1. Plaster: Affordable & Traditional

• Look: Classic white or light blue finish with a smooth feel

• Pros: Most affordable, clean look, quick to install

• Cons: Shortest lifespan (7–10 years), stains easily, more maintenance

• Best for: Budget-friendly remodels, rental homes, or quick refreshes

2. Pebble: Durable & Natural

• Look: Textured, natural stone appearance with color options

• Pros: Extremely durable (15–20+ years), resistant to staining, modern look

• Cons: Slightly rougher feel, higher upfront cost

• Best for: Long-term value, active families, luxury upgrades

3. Quartz: Sleek & Stain-Resistant

• Look: Shimmery, smooth finish with vibrant color choices

• Pros: Stain-resistant, smooth yet stronger than plaster, more upscale than standard finishes

• Cons: Higher price than plaster, needs expert installation

• Best for: Homeowners who want a luxury look without going full pebble
