Pool work we do in Northwest Austin
Pool Finishes. White plaster, quartz and pebble go over a chipped-out shell; Anderson Mill owners ask about all three. See pool finish options.
Pool Remodeling. A remodel bundles a replaster with new tile or coping, common on 1970s Anderson Mill shells. See pool remodeling.
Pool Tile and Coping. Popped tile and cracked coping get reset or bead blasted, often on an Avery Ranch pool. See waterline tile and coping.
Pool Deck Resurfacing. Cracked concrete gets patched, then a knockdown or cool deck coat goes on, oldest first in the 78759 core. See pool deck resurfacing.
Pool Replastering. A full replaster chips out old plaster and trowels on a new finish; Anderson Mill's 1970s shells go first. See pool replastering.
Pool Plaster Repair. Hollow spots and step delamination get patched without a full drain, the common call on a Steiner Ranch pool. Read pool plaster repair.
Pool Drain and Acid Wash. A drain and acid wash lifts stains without a replaster when plaster is sound, common on the limestone side. Book a drain and acid wash.
Why Northwest Austin pools are due for resurfacing
Northwest Austin is not a single Census place, so its age story runs by ZIP code. The 78759 and 78750 core, built out earliest, is 65.4 and 63.7 percent pre-1990 (F-NWA-06), and Anderson Mill itself went up in the 1970s and 1980s (F-NWA-07), the oldest plaster the crew sees anywhere in the service area.
The lake side runs younger: Steiner Ranch and River Place are mostly 1990 to 2009, and Avery Ranch, built 2001 to 2020, is newer still. No pool count exists for the district; Travis County's new-pool permit activity, the densest in the metro, is the closest proxy (F-NWA-11).
What pool resurfacing costs in Northwest Austin
The 13-minute drive covers Anderson Mill; Steiner Ranch and River Place, farther out on RM 620, add a little time to the schedule. A 1970s or 1980s shell more often needs a full chip-out, priced on the visit.
| Work | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| White plaster (marcite) replaster, drain to refill | $4,500 to $7,000 | |
| Exposed pebble aggregate finish (Pebble Tec, StoneScapes, River Roc class) | $7,000 to $12,000 | |
| Quartz aggregate plaster (Diamond Brite, Quartzscapes class) | $6,000 to $9,000 |

How the inspection works in Northwest Austin
- You call or send the form, and the estimator books a time to come out to Northwest Austin.
- The estimator sounds the shell for hollow spots, checks the waterline tile, coping and deck, and measures the pool.
- You get a written, itemized quote with the scheduling window and the warranty terms before anything is booked.
- The crew drains and preps the shell, sets tile and coping, applies the finish, fills the pool and leaves the 28-day startup instructions.
Water and weather in Northwest Austin
Austin Water's 2025 report lists total hardness averaging 93 ppm, a range of 70 to 126, which the utility itself calls moderately hard (F-NWA-08). That is softer than Leander's, and etching is the bigger risk here, not scale.
The district sits west of I-35 on the Edwards Plateau's thin limestone soil (F-NWA-10). The 2021 freeze that hit 8 F at Camp Mabry (F-CLIM-01) and 2023's 45-day 100-degree run (F-CLIM-03) wear on plaster and coping here too.

Resurfacing questions from Northwest Austin pool owners
Does the crew cover Anderson Mill out to Avery Ranch and Steiner Ranch?
Yes, about 10 to 11 miles and 13 minutes off-peak south on US 183 to RM 620 at Anderson Mill, and Avery Ranch and Steiner Ranch are regular stops on the same corridor.
Anderson Mill has the oldest plaster in the area; what does a first replaster cost there?
Plaster runs $4,500 to $7,000, and pebble runs $7,000 to $12,000. Anderson Mill's 1970s and 1980s shells are the likeliest to need a full chip-out, confirmed on the visit. See pool replastering.
How long is a pool tied up for a replaster here?
Drain and prep run day one, demo day two, plaster day three, then a day or two to fill. A 28-day startup follows, no swimming the first week. The estimator gives the exact day count in the quote.
Austin Water is softer than Leander's; does that etch a finish instead of scaling it?
Austin Water's 2025 report lists hardness averaging 93 ppm, moderately hard by the utility's own word and softer than Leander's. Etching, not scale, is the likelier wear pattern; an inspection tells how far it has gone.
Austin's exempt list never mentions replastering; do I need a permit here?
The city's list exempts only prefabricated pools under 24 inches deep, so resurfacing is not shown as exempt. Confirm with the City of Austin work-exempt-from-permits page or call 311. Texas licenses no plasterer; ask for insurance proof.
A 1970s Anderson Mill shell and a newer Avery Ranch pool wear out on different timelines. Northwest Austin gets the same free inspection as anywhere else here. Call (555) 555-0100 before the calendar fills.
