Rough Plaster, Stubborn Algae, Staining That Won't Quit — Sound Familiar?
If you've been fighting the same pool problems season after season — rough texture, stains that keep coming back, algae that won't stay gone — the problem isn't what you're putting in the water. It's the surface holding the water.
Converse has a large stock of established homes built in the 1980s and 1990s whose original plaster surfaces are now 20–30 years old. Add San Antonio's alkaline hard water and a 9-month swim season, and you have conditions that degrade plaster faster than most homeowners expect. A porous surface absorbs chemicals instead of resisting them, traps algae in the substrate, and starts shedding chips into equipment.
Most homeowners we speak with in Converse have been managing these symptoms for 2–3 seasons before calling. By then, they've spent significantly more on chemicals than the resurface would have cost to begin with.
What a Failing Pool Surface Is Costing You Right Now
- Monthly chemical costs climb as porous plaster absorbs sanitizer instead of holding water balance
- Plaster chips cycle through the pump and filter, adding wear to equipment that runs $500–$1,500+ to replace
- Rough, stained plaster reduces enjoyment and makes routine maintenance take longer than it should
- Delay costs money — every month of delay during SA's long swim season is another month of the same expense

What Homeowners Are Saying
"Pool was 22 years old, original plaster. I assumed it was done for. They came out, checked the shell, said replastering would work just fine — no structural issues. Job took 5 days. Best decision we made all year."
— Marcus T. · Converse
"Called three companies. Two didn't call back. These guys called back within the hour, came out two days later. Written quote, no surprises, done on schedule."
— Jennifer & Ray L. · Converse
"We'd been fighting algae for two seasons. Turns out the plaster was shot and no amount of chemicals was going to fix it. After the resurface — one full summer, zero algae. Night and day."
— Dan B. · NE San Antonio area
