Advanced-Glass is our proprietary fiberglass resurfacing system designed to provide one of the most durable, long-lasting, and easy-to-maintain pool finishes available today. It uses premium materials, proven application methods, and a uniquely thick finish coat that significantly outlasts traditional plaster or hand-lay fiberglass systems.

Pool downtime is expensive. Whether it’s a hotel losing guest satisfaction, an apartment community dealing with resident complaints, or a health club unable to provide a key amenity, every day a pool is closed has a cost.

Unlike plaster finishes that require extended curing periods and weeks of startup maintenance, Advanced-Glass allows for a much faster return to service. Once the pool is filled and properly balanced, normal operation can typically resume immediately. This helps reduce downtime, minimize operational disruption, and lower the total cost of the renovation.

For many commercial pool operators, the value of getting the pool reopened sooner is just as important as the long-term durability of the finish itself.

Most homeowners choose Advanced-Glass because they want a pool finish that is beautiful, long-lasting, and easy to maintain. For many customers, it’s also an opportunity to finally address the problems they’ve been fighting for years—whether that’s black algae, cracks, staining, leaks, rough plaster, or a finish that simply doesn’t last.

Traditional plaster surfaces are porous and gradually wear down over time, often requiring more brushing, more chemical attention, and more frequent resurfacing. Advanced-Glass creates a smooth, non-porous surface that resists staining, discourages algae growth, and is easier to keep clean.

Homeowners also appreciate the long service life of Advanced-Glass. While a typical replaster may need replacement in 5–10 years, an Advanced-Glass finish often lasts 20–30+ years, making it one of the most cost-effective pool surface options available over the life of the pool.

Many of our customers come to us after dealing with recurring problems such as black algae, staining, rough surfaces, cracking, or multiple replaster jobs. They are looking for a long-term solution rather than another temporary fix. Advanced-Glass provides a durable, attractive finish that allows them to spend less time maintaining their pool and more time enjoying it.

Many contractors use lighter equipment, thinner coatings, or shortcuts in surface prep. Our process is known for:

• Thick, durable finish coats

• Industry-leading surface preparation

• Consistent application using professional spray equipment

• Approvals from the Los Angeles County Environmental Health Department

• Over 35 years of specialized experience

Most backyard pools enjoy 20–30+ years of service life—often 2–3 times longer than a typical replaster job, which commonly lasts 5–10 years. Commercial pools and spas also benefit from exceptional longevity when properly maintained - much longer than plaster.

Yes. With the Advanced-Glass system, the fiberglass layer is fully encapsulated under a heavy protective finish coat. This prevents any fiber exposure and creates a durable, sanitary, non-porous surface that stays smooth and stable for decades. Our system was approved by the Los Angeles County Health Department after a detailed evaluation confirming that our materials meet the same safety standards used for drinking water.

Yes—Advanced-Glass can resurface:

• Plaster/gunite pools

• Pools previously fiberglassed

• Pebble or quartz pools

• Vinyl-liner conversions

• Poured-concrete pools

• Prefab fiberglass pools

Each pool type requires specific preparation, which our team evaluates during inspection.

Yes. In fact, many customers have chosen Advanced-Glass specifically because they were tired of battling recurring black algae in plaster, quartz, or pebble-finish pools.

Black algae thrives in porous surfaces, where it can root itself into tiny pits, imperfections, and surface irregularities. Even when treated chemically, it often survives below the surface and returns over time.

As part of the Advanced-Glass resurfacing process, the existing pool surface is thoroughly prepared before being covered with a new fiberglass finish. This effectively seals off the old porous plaster or aggregate surface where black algae has historically taken hold. The result is a smooth, non-porous barrier that removes the hiding places and rough texture that black algae relies on.

A pool service professional once told us, “black algae is an indication of pool water chemistry.” Proper water chemistry is still important for any pool. But the smooth, non-porous nature of Advanced-Glass makes it much more difficult for black algae to establish itself in the future. Many customers who previously struggled with recurring black algae find that their pools become significantly easier to keep clean and maintain after resurfacing with Advanced-Glass.

Don’t worry—your pool water will still look blue, not white. White pool interiors create the classic clean blue water color that most homeowners associate with a beautiful swimming pool.

We use a white finish because it provides the most consistent appearance, best UV stability, and longest-lasting results. Since pool resurfacing is performed outdoors, environmental conditions such as temperature and humidity can affect colored finishes, sometimes causing streaking or color variations. Our premium white finish eliminates those concerns while delivering a beautiful, timeless blue-water appearance.
