Resurfacing is the anchor job: a standard white plaster replaster in Livonia typically runs $5,500–$10,500, while pebble and quartz finishes run $8,500–$19,000. Everything else stacks on top of that:
| Job | Typical Livonia price |
|---|---|
| Replaster (white plaster) | $5,500–$10,500 |
| Pebble or quartz finish | $8,500–$19,000 |
| Waterline tile | $2,600–$8,400 |
| Coping replacement | $3,200–$9,500 |
| Deck resurfacing | $4,000–$12,500 |
| Equipment upgrade (pump, filter, heater, automation) | $3,000–$10,500 |
| Add an attached spa | $16,000–$37,000 |
| Full remodel (finish, tile, coping, deck, equipment) | $16,000–$63,000+ |
Michigan pricing is close to the national baseline used for these estimates. Plaster has a finite life — 10–15 years for white plaster, 15–20+ for pebble — so a resurfacing quote is often the moment to price tile, coping and equipment in the same drain.
Tile, coping, LED lights, a tanning ledge or an attached spa cost far less during a resurfacing than as a separate job later.

Southeast Michigan digs heavy clay that swells and drains slowly — backfill compaction and deck sub-base prep are the quality tells — while the west side works sandier glacial soils. Frost-depth plumbing and freeze-tolerant concrete are standard everywhere. Vinyl liner leads by volume with fiberglass surging for quick installs inside the short build season; gunite serves the Oakland County high end. Heat pumps and automatic covers are increasingly standard.

Ask for nearby resurfacing jobs that are several years old, not just fresh ones. Confirm licensing where Michigan requires it, insurance, and who holds the finish warranty. Compare at least three itemized bids against the same scope: finish, tile, coping, deck, equipment and startup. Michigan licenses residential builders at the state level — verify the license and insurance certificates before signing. Pool permits and residential-code barrier requirements (fences, self-latching gates) run through your township or city, and inspectors in the metro suburbs are diligent about them.
A standard white plaster replaster in Livonia, MI typically runs $5,500–$10,500; quartz and pebble finishes run $8,500–$19,000. Waterline tile adds $2,600–$8,400 and new coping $3,200–$9,500. A full remodel that also updates the deck and equipment runs $16,000–$63,000+. Michigan pricing is close to the national baseline used for these estimates; get itemized bids from at least three of the pool remodeling companies listed here for your pool's size and condition.
White plaster typically lasts 10–15 years; quartz and pebble finishes 15–20 or more with balanced water. Roughing, staining that no longer cleans, exposed aggregate, hollow spots and rust marks from the rebar are the signs the finish is at the end of its life. Etching accelerates when pH and calcium hardness run low, so a consistent water-care routine is the cheapest way to delay the next resurfacing.
A straightforward resurfacing usually keeps the pool down for one to two weeks: drain, prep, finish, cure and fill, followed by a 28-day startup brushing routine. Adding tile, coping and deck work extends that to three to six weeks, and equipment or structural changes can push a full renovation past two months. Most crews schedule remodels for the shoulder seasons so the pool is ready when the season starts.
Resurface if the shell, tile, coping and equipment are sound and you mostly dislike the finish. Remodel when several systems are at the end of their life at once — a drained pool is the cheapest moment to replace tile and coping, add a tanning ledge or spa, move to LED lights, or install a variable-speed pump and automation. Ask each contractor to price the resurfacing alone and the bundled options separately so you can see the marginal cost of each upgrade.
The outdoor season in Livonia runs June through early September — about 3 months unheated. A full professional winterization each fall protects plumbing and equipment through the freeze, and spring openings cluster into the same few weeks. June through early September unheated, with heaters commonly adding six weeks. Winters are long and freezing (lake-effect snow on the west side), so pools get a thorough professional close by early October.

Michigan licenses residential builders at the state level — verify the license and insurance certificates before signing.

Plaster and pebble finishes normally carry a manufacturer material warranty (often 5–10 years, sometimes limited or prorated) plus the installer's workmanship warranty (commonly 1–5 years) covering delamination, spot etching from improper startup and bond failure. Tile, coping and equipment carry their own terms. Read what voids coverage — most exclude damage from unbalanced water — and keep your startup and water-test records.
