As a general rule, if you get other projects done at the same time, you can save plenty of money as the provider will give you a discount.</p><p>When you calculate your budget, make sure to include labor and material costs. Most cases you will need to employ a professional to complete the task. Labor typically costs between $45 - $65 an hour. Contractors can resurface pools in approximately 1-2 weeks, for $3,000. It is possible to resurface pools in as little as 1-2 weeks. However, larger and more complex jobs will take longer and may cost more in labor and parts.</p><p>If you're up to the challenge of resurfacing a pool yourself, here are some tips.
