The Pool Remodeling Process

Preparation
After design consultation with the customer and permits have been received, the first phase of your remodel project is draining your pool to the sewer cleanout or to the street in accordance with the city laws and regulations.

Interior Chip-out
Once the pool is drained, the interior surface is chipped out by jackhammers and air chisels. If you chose to replace your tile, the existing tile will be removed at this phase.

Construction
The construction phase includes additions such as water leveler, dedicated suction line, decking, tile, water features, boulders, new equipment, plumbing, barbeque, and fireplaces.

Interior Surface
The process of the interior surface phase varies depending on the surface you select. Pebble, Plaster, and 3M Quartz, are all applied by a pressurized spray nozzle. The finishing touch is then done by hand trowel to a smooth finish.

Pool Fill
After your new surface has been installed the pool is filled with water. This takes approximately 12-30 hours depending on the size of your pool. Once the process of filling has begun, do not stop the water until it has reached the middle of the water line tile. Failure to follow these filling instructions may result in discoloration and/or imperfections in your new interior surface.

Start-Up
Start-up consists of adding all necessary chemicals to balance the water and mechanically start-up all pumps. This will also be the time that instruction will be given on the operation and maintenance of your new equipment and surface. There will be some surface brushing that will be necessary to eliminate residue left over from the new interior surface application process. After this phase your pool is swim ready.
