Arizona water and sun
What wears a Tempe pool finish down
Every pool in Tempe faces the same basic conditions as the rest of the Valley: strong, near daily sun that can break down plaster and dull color in aggregate finishes, combined with hard water. The City of Scottsdale's 2026 water quality report lists hardness of 13 to 17 grains per gallon, and hard water can leave scale on a finish; hardness differs by city and water source, so Tempe tap water can read higher or lower. Add in the dust and occasional storms of Arizona's monsoon season, which runs officially from June 15 through September 30 per the National Weather Service, and a finish that is already thin or chalky can show new staining.
Costs
What a Tempe resurfacing project costs
2026 national cost data puts pool resurfacing at $6,000 to $15,000, averaging about $11,000. Material runs roughly $4 a square foot for plaster and about $10 a square foot for a pebble style finish, with labor at $45 to $65 an hour. For a figure closer to home, published 2026 cost data for the Phoenix metro shows an average pool remodel cost of $9,331, with most homeowners landing between $5,732 and $12,976. Draining, refilling and cleaning the pool before the new finish goes on adds about $425 to $475 more, per 2026 national cost data. The pool resurfacing cost page breaks all of this down by pool size.

Pebble style pool finish
: A pebble style finish is made of small natural aggregate exposed at the surface instead of a smooth troweled coat.Quartz pool finish
: A quartz pool finish blends fine quartz crystals into the surface coat of a Scottsdale pool instead of leaving the plaster plain and smooth.Pool replastering
: Plain plaster is usually the lowest cost finish option of the three main choices, and for a Scottsdale pool shell that is structurally sound, a straightforward replaster is often all that is needed.Pool remodeling
: A pool often wears in several places at once.Pool tile replacement
: The waterline tile band sits right where pool water evaporates and can leave mineral deposits behind.Resurfacing vs replastering vs remodeling
: These three words get used loosely, and that can lead Scottsdale homeowners to ask for the wrong job.

Questions people ask
Still have a question? Call (747) 243-2089 and say what your pool is doing.
My Tempe pool is older. Does that change what it needs?
An older pool is more likely to be due for a full resurface rather than a patch, especially if the finish feels rough or shows exposed aggregate. On the call back, we go over what you are seeing, and whether it points to a resurface, a replaster or a bigger remodel.
Is plaster or a pebble style finish the stronger choice for a frequently used pool?
Pebble style finishes tend to hold up longer under regular use, with a national 2026 cost guide putting plaster at about 10 years and saying pebble style aggregate can last 20 or more. Plaster costs less upfront, so the right call usually comes down to budget and how long you plan to keep the pool as is.
Does Tempe's water affect my pool finish?
It can. Hard water can leave scale on a finish over time. The City of Scottsdale's 2026 water quality report lists Scottsdale's hardness at 13 to 17 grains per gallon, and the number for a Tempe tap can differ by water source.
What happens during the drain, refill and clean step?
Before a new finish goes on, the old water gets drained, the shell gets cleaned, and any loose or failing material gets chipped out so the new surface goes onto sound material. 2026 national cost data puts draining, refilling and cleaning before the new finish at about $425 to $475.
