Hialeah Pool Builders provides professional pool resurfacing & diamond brite in Hialeah, FL for residential and commercial properties across Miami-Dade County. Pool resurfacing means chipping the failed interior back to sound gunite and troweling on a new one, not painting over what is already there. In Miami-Dade the choice is usually between plain marcite, a Diamond Brite quartz aggregate finish, and a pebble finish such as PebbleTec, and the honest differences between them are large enough to be worth ten minutes of your attention.
Marcite is white cement plaster and it is the regional baseline on anything built before the mid-nineties. It is the cheapest and the shortest-lived, typically seven to twelve years here.
Our twelve-month season is what shortens it: there is no quiet winter where the pool sits unused and the chemistry stops working on the surface.
Diamond Brite, a quartz aggregate finish, is what most of South Florida now specifies, and it runs twelve to eighteen years while holding its color considerably better.
Pebble finishes are the most expensive of the three, run fifteen to twenty, and hide the mineral deposits our hard water leaves better than anything smooth. StoneScapes and similar pebble products give you a slightly softer texture than the older aggressive pebble.
You will notice the failure by feel before you see it. The floor stops being smooth and starts feeling like a sidewalk, and somebody climbs out of the shallow end with a scraped toe.
That is the cream coat worn through and the plaster body exposed. From there it accelerates, because a rough surface holds algae, algae means more chlorine, and more chlorine etches faster.
Staining that will not brush out, spidering, and plaster popping off around the return fittings are the other signals.
The process matters as much as the material.
We drain, chip failed material back to sound gunite, cut out and patch hollow spots, apply a bond coat, then hand-trowel the new interior in a single continuous application so there is no cold joint to telegraph through in year two.
Waterline tile and coping get replaced in the same drain-down because you only pay to empty the pool once, and doing it as a separate job later costs you that drain twice.
Then comes the part people skip and regret: 28 days of daily brushing and staged water chemistry while the finish cures. Do it and you get the full life. Skip it and you will be reading this page again in six years.
Two Florida-specific cautions that are not optional. We open the hydrostatic relief valve before draining, because a high water table will lift an empty shell out of the ground and turn a resurfacing job into a rebuild. And we do not leave a pool sitting empty overnight during the May-to-October rainy season, because groundwater rises with the rain and the risk goes up with it.
When the cheap option is genuinely fine: if you are refinishing a rental, or a house you plan to sell inside three years, plain marcite is the sensible economic choice and we will fit it without trying to talk you up. Se habla español.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool resurfacing & diamond brite
The difference between pool resurfacing & diamond brite that lasts and pool resurfacing & diamond brite 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 shells, Diamond Brite quartz interiors, marcite plaster, PebbleTec pebble finishes, 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 Hialeah 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 Miami-Dade County means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
