Customer Reviews
Bay Area homeowners trust us.
"Called in the morning, had someone at my house by afternoon. My pool looked like it belonged in a magazine within a week. I've already recommended Stellar to three neighbors."
"After two other companies ghosted me, Stellar called back in 20 minutes. They diagnosed the leak same day and had it fixed by the weekend. Honest, fast, and fairly priced."
"Been on their weekly maintenance plan for two years. My pool is always perfect — I literally never think about it. Worth every penny for the peace of mind alone."
"The before and after of our pool resurfacing is absolutely insane. Our 20-year-old pool looks brand new. The crew was professional, clean, and finished ahead of schedule."
"Had a new variable speed pump and heater installed. Stellar was half the price of the first quote I got, finished in one day, and walked me through the whole app setup."
"From the first call to the final walkthrough, everything was seamless. They built exactly what we envisioned and our backyard is completely transformed."

Straight Answers
Questions Bay Area homeowners actually ask.
Real numbers and real answers, including the ones most contractors avoid putting in writing. Updated August 2026.
How much does pool resurfacing cost in the Bay Area?
A full white plaster resurfacing on a typical Bay Area residential pool runs about $14,500, which covers the plaster application itself. Draining, chipping out the old plaster and hauling the debris away while saving your existing tile adds roughly $2,500. Pebble and glass bead finishes cost more than white plaster because the material costs more. We quote every pool after seeing it, because shell condition is the variable that moves the number most.
What does the plaster start-up process involve, and is it included?
New plaster needs a supervised seven-day start-up: daily brushing and careful water chemistry while the surface cures. It typically runs about $2,800 and is handled by an independent start-up specialist you contract and pay directly, not by us. We tell you this up front because a botched start-up permanently stains a brand new finish, and it is the single most common way a good resurfacing job goes wrong.
How often should a pool be resurfaced?
Plaster finishes generally last 7 to 12 years, pebble finishes 15 to 20. The honest signals that it is time are a surface that feels rough underfoot, staining that will not brush out, and plaster that has worn through to the gray gunite beneath. If you are seeing only minor discoloration, you may not need a resurfacing yet, and we will tell you that.
What happens if I turn the water off while my new plaster is filling?
It leaves a permanent ring at the waterline that cannot be removed without redoing the finish. Once we start the fill after plastering, the water must run continuously until it reaches the midpoint of the waterline tile. If it is filling too fast, turn the flow down. Never shut it off. This is the most expensive avoidable mistake a homeowner can make on a remodel.
Do you offer pool maintenance plans in the Bay Area?
Yes. We run weekly service only, not bi-weekly, because Bay Area pools do not hold chemistry reliably on a two-week cycle. Weekly service starts at $120 per month and covers cleaning, chemical balancing and an equipment check on every visit.
Do you repair pool equipment, or only replace it?
We diagnose before we quote. Most equipment calls trace back to a chain rather than one dead part. A clogged filter starves the system of flow, the heater trips its high limit, and the thermal fuse blows. Replace only the fuse and it blows again. We find the actual cause first, then tell you honestly whether a repair or a replacement is the better spend.
What areas do you serve?
San Jose, Santa Clara, Sunnyvale, Cupertino, Campbell, Los Gatos, Saratoga, Milpitas, Fremont, Mountain View, Palo Alto and the surrounding South Bay. We are based in San Jose and come to you — all work happens at your property.
Who actually shows up to do the work?
The owner. Stellar Pool Service is owner-operated, so the person who walks your yard and quotes the job is the person doing the plumbing, concrete, paver and equipment work. Plastering is the one trade we subcontract, to crews we have used for years.
How quickly do you respond to new inquiries?
We aim to call or text back within 15 to 30 minutes during business hours, not days later. If you submit the evaluation form you will hear from a person, not an autoresponder.
Do you charge for an evaluation or estimate?
No. On-site evaluations are free and there is no obligation. We will walk the pool, tell you what actually needs doing, and tell you plainly which upgrades are worth the money and which are not.
What forms of payment do you take?
Cash, check and credit card. Card payments carry a 4.5% surcharge, which we disclose up front rather than folding into the price.
Do you warranty your work?
Yes. Workmanship carries a five-year warranty. Manufacturer warranties on equipment and finish materials are separate and pass through to you.
