Pool resurfacing on Wilmington Island

Between the city and the beach

Wilmington Island sits east of Savannah along the road to Tybee, surrounded by rivers, creeks and marsh. Its neighborhoods range from 1960s and 1970s ranch homes to newer waterfront houses, and many have backyard pools. Older pools here have often been resurfaced more than once, and some are due again.

Older pools, careful prep

When a pool has several layers of old finish, those layers can separate from the shell, leaving hollow spots, bubbles or loose patches. The lasting fix is removing the loose material so the new finish bonds to something solid. Ask every contractor how much they plan to remove, since it's one of the biggest differences between estimates.

Waterfront conditions

• Humidity and salt air that wear on grout, tile and coping.
• High groundwater near the marsh, which makes careful draining essential.
• Storms that can bring debris and heavy rain.

Finish options

Pebble and quartz hold up well in these conditions. White plaster remains the most affordable choice. If your tile or coping is worn, it's best to update it while the pool is empty.
