Show Notes
In this episode, I'm diving into the world of pool surface types—plaster, pebble, quartz, fiberglass, and vinyl. I break down the real-world pros and cons of each, from durability and aesthetics to maintenance needs and cost over time. Whether you're a pool owner deciding on a resurfacing option or a service pro looking to better understand your clients’ surfaces, this episode gives you the inside scoop.
