FAQs

Mr. Marcite, Inc.

  • Why is the company called “Mr. Marcite“ if you don’t use Marcite anymore?

    The company name was established back when Marcite was the only material on the market. Due to EPA-required restructuring of Marcite’s formula, the nature and durability of the material changed. Because of this, other materials like PebbleStone and our own custom blended Quartz products have become the industry-standard.

  • I’ve heard that I shouldn’t have may pool renovated during the rainy season because it could pop put of the ground. Is that true?

    Ground water pressure is always a valid concern when draining a swimming pool. However, Mr. Marcite easily accommodates issues of ground water, and performs renovations year-round.

  • Understanding warranties for different materials and renovations can be confusing – can you help me understand what’s special about a Mr. Marcite warranty?

    Depending on the type of pool renovation you choose, the warranty period of your selected material may range anywhere from 5 years to “lifetime.” This is important because a material warranty may only obligate the manufacturer to supply you with replacement material – not the application of the replacement material to your pool. Labor costs are often higher than the cost of material, and you’d have to spend money out of your pocket to hire someone to apply the replacement surface. At Mr. Marcite we know our customers deserve better and we back our material with a 100% workmanship guarantee. In the unlikely event that your material fails while it is under warranty, we will not only replace the material, but also supply the labor to apply the replacement surface.

  • Do you subcontract your work?

    All pool work is performed by skilled, in-house Mr. Marcite crews.

  • Do you warranty your work?

    Yes! Unlike many warranties that only cover materials, Mr. Marcite backs both materials and labor. If your pool surface fails under warranty, we’ll replace the material and apply it—at no extra cost to you.

  • How often should I resurface my pool?

    Most pools in Florida need resurfacing every 7–15 years, depending on the finish: • Quartz: 10–15 years • Pebble: 15–20 years • Tile & Grout: at most 20 years Florida’s heat, UV exposure, and chemical use often shorten these lifespans compared to cooler states.

  • What are the signs my pool needs resurfacing?

    You will want to look for: • Rough or chalky texture • Persistent stains or discoloration • Cracks or chips in the finish • Peeling or flaking (spalling) • Unexplained water loss (possible leaks)

  • What materials are best for Florida’s climate?

    We recommend the following: • Quartz: Durable, smooth finish • Pebble Finishes: Long-lasting, natural look, slip-resistant

  • How long does the resurfacing process take?

    Typically 1 to 2 weeks, including: • Draining the pool • Removing old finish – May not be required • Repairing cracks • Applying new surface • Refilling and balancing water chemistry

  • Do you offer financing?

    No, we do not currently have financing options available.
