Pool Resurfacing in Stone Oak, TX — Free Estimates · Local Crew

Rough Plaster, Stubborn Algae, Staining That Won't Quit — Sound Familiar?

If your pool has been rough, stained, or fighting algae despite consistent chemical maintenance, the surface has deteriorated past the point where chemistry can compensate. You're managing symptoms of a substrate problem.

Stone Oak is a master-planned north San Antonio community that developed primarily in the 1990s and 2000s. That means a large number of pools are now 15–25 years old — past the useful life of the original plaster in San Antonio's hard-water environment. The Edwards Aquifer's high calcium content etches plaster continuously, accelerating the degradation that eventually makes clean water impossible to maintain without excessive chemical input.

Stone Oak homeowners have invested significantly in their properties. A pool that looks rough and stained undermines that investment. The fix is straightforward — the question is whether to address it now or pay for the problem monthly until you do.

What a Failing Pool Surface Is Costing You Right Now

• Monthly chemical costs increase as porous plaster absorbs sanitizer rather than holding water balance
• Plaster chips add wear to pump and filter — equipment that's expensive to replace in San Antonio's heat
• A deteriorating pool is a liability in one of SA's most desirable neighborhoods — and a daily frustration to maintain
• San Antonio's 9-month swim season means every month of delay is another month of unnecessary spending

We Know Stone Oak — And We're Close

We're about 25 minutes from Stone Oak and work throughout North San Antonio — Stone Oak, Encino Park, Canyon Golf, and the US-281 corridor communities — regularly. We calibrate our startup chemistry for San Antonio's alkaline water conditions and are familiar with the pool construction common to Stone Oak's 1990s–2000s development era.

Building a New Pool Inside San Antonio City Limits

For homes inside San Antonio city limits, the city's Development Services Department takes residential pool and spa permits through the BuildSA Customer Portal. Its published rules include:

• A fence or barrier at least 48 inches high around any private pool, hot tub or spa more than 24 inches deep, with self-closing and self-latching gates and doors. A pool with a powered safety cover that meets ASTM F1346 does not need the barrier.
• Setbacks of 5 feet from the side and rear property lines, measured from the inside wall of the pool at the waterline. Pools are not permitted in front of the property.
• Separate permits for mechanical, electrical and plumbing work.
• The barrier installed and inspected before the pool is filled and used.

The city's Information Bulletin 170, revised May 2025, says residential pools must meet the 2024 International Swimming Pool and Spa Code.
