Over 40,000 Families Have Trusted Alan Smith Pool Plastering Since 1981. We Always Insist On Doing Every Job Right. *No cheap substandard cements, aggregates or pigments in our pool finishes *No sub-contracted, unqualified & inexperienced plastering finishers (We only have an “A” team) *Every job is run by a team of experts and has a dedicated project manager. *No inflated pricing, all estimates come from a company price list. Quality work at a fair price. What a concept! Yes, you have dozens-maybe even hundreds of options- for resurfacing and remodeling your pool. And the question we get all the time is “why should we go with Alan Smith Pool Plastering?” To be up front with you, we’re not the cheapest contractor. We’re also not the fastest. If you are looking for fast and cheap, head down to the Home Depot or Lowe’s or call around to some of our competitors. That being said, our work is not exclusively for the rich and famous either. In fact, our typical customer has a 15,000 gallon pool, makes between $85,000-$110,000 in household income, and spends between $10,000-$20,000 with us on their pool and spa renovation.(yes several choose to upgrade and remodel their entire backyard with pavers, patio covers, masonry and outdoor lighting) In other words, we cater to people who can afford to do the job right the first time. People who want the job to outlast their lifetime, and we don’t want to save a few dollars by using cheap materials and labor instead of quality products and an experienced work force. Here’s what you really need to know. Our pool surface warranty is 10 YEARS because once we resurface your pool it is NOT coming off since we use advanced pool prepping technology that creates a high strength bond. Most of our jobs are from past customer and referrals from friends, neighbors and family-they like us enough to come back. We do a really good job & we have since 1981. We DO NOT clean pools, nor do we REPAIR Portable Hot Tubs. Call us to discuss your project.

"Second experience with Alan Smith. Left poor rating based upon on first experience with them. Honestly, was not expecting anything from them—this was a year ago. Darren L reached out to me in response to my review—incredibly blown away. He made the job right and then some! He was super communicative, responsive, followed through, and did a great job!! Darren thank you!! Was not expecting this and to get everything addressed as you did made me very happy. If you choose AS—request Darren! He’s the man!!"

"David and his pool company were good when we were getting maintenance on our pool weekly. When we switched to bi-weekly is when everything changed. We have a salt pool and we noticed that when his technician was coming, he was only there for a short while and it seemed like the pool was not getting cleaned thoroughly. We noticed slime on the sides of the pool and dead leaves and bugs. We brought this to his attention with pictures and videos. First, he tried saying that he was not aware that we had switched to bi-weekly. Then we showed him text messages where we had confirmed. Then he tried saying it was because the water level was below the skimmer box. So we made sure it was always remaining full. He also said that we had not wanted to have our filter cleaned and changed, to which we again showed him text messages where we approved the cleaning and changing of our filter. He kept insisting that we should go back to weekly cleaning. Finally, he said that the technician who serviced our pool had informed him via a picture that our skimmer was cracked. We were astonished that he did not immediately inform us and asked if he could please forward the picture that was sent to him so we could get our home warranty company to open a claim. He refused and kept dodging sending it or even answering direct questions as to whether he would send it. We have a remaining balance with the company but it is so difficult to consider paying it and we have had to purchase over $300 of supplies to try and clean it ourselves. The most troubling thing is we had another pool company come out to give us an estimate of what it would cost and they informed us that someone had turned the pump system off. We never go back to the pool supply area and are absolutely baffled as to what happened the last two months we were being serviced by this company. Like I said, before we switched to bi-weekly services, things were fine. It was not until we changed that things started getting bad and it seemed the whole thing was to try and get us back to weekly services. We now have a very dirty pool and who knows how much it is going to cost to repair it."

Pool constructions and installations FAQs

The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.

Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.

Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.

From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
