Killeen Pool Builders provides professional pool resurfacing & replastering in Killeen, TX for residential and commercial properties across Bell and Coryell counties. Pool resurfacing comes around sooner in Central Texas than the brochures suggest, because our water comes out of the Edwards and Trinity aquifers loaded with calcium, which is excellent for your bones and hard on your plaster.
You notice the failure by feel before you see it: the floor stops being smooth and starts being abrasive, and somebody climbs out of the shallow end with a scraped toe. That scrape is the cream coat worn through.
Once the softer plaster body underneath is exposed it goes downhill faster, because a rough surface holds algae, algae means more chlorine, and more chlorine etches quicker.
Left alone long enough you move from a finish problem to a shell problem, and that costs several times more. Finishes, in plain terms. White plaster gets 10 to 15 years around Killeen, and our water pushes it to the low end of that band.
Polished quartz gets a few more years and holds its color better under this sun. A mini-pebble finish such as StoneScapes sits in the middle on price and is the value pick for most backyards.
Full pebble such as PebbleTec runs 15 to 20 years and does a far better job of hiding the calcium deposits our water leaves, which in this town is a maintenance feature disguised as a cosmetic one.
Glass bead is the premium end and looks superb in deep colors, if you have the budget. Resurfacing isn't painting over the old surface, whatever a low bid implies.
We drain, chip failed material back to sound gunite, sound out and cut out the hollow spots, patch them, apply a bond coat, then trowel the new interior in one continuous application so there's no cold joint to telegraph through in two years.
Waterline tile and coping get done in the same drain-down, because draining a pool twice is money you set on fire. Draining itself needs care here.
We check the hydrostatic relief valve and we don't leave a shell empty through a rainy week, since groundwater under a lot with a caliche pan has nowhere to go and can lift a pool. Startup chemistry matters just as much.
Fresh plaster is chemically alive for a month, our fill water arrives hard, and getting the balance wrong in week one causes scale and mottling you'll look at for fifteen years. The 28-day brushing schedule afterwards is genuinely not optional.
Here's the cheaper option nobody offers you. If your plaster is sound underfoot and the real complaint is gray staining or a calcium band, an acid wash or a bead blast costs a fraction of a resurface and buys you two or three more years.
Ask for that first. The only caution is that an acid wash removes material, so a plaster finish will tolerate two or three in its life and no more.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, travertine coping and decking, variable-speed pumps — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Killeen and nearby communities including Temple, Copperas Cove, Harker Heights, Belton.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool resurfacing & replastering
The difference between pool resurfacing & replastering that lasts and pool resurfacing & replastering that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete shells, PebbleTec and polished quartz interiors, white plaster, glass mosaic and porcelain waterline tile, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Killeen job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in Bell and Coryell counties means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
