How It Works
No mystery, no surprises. Here's everything that happens from the day you say "let's do it" to the day you swim in your new pool — including who pays what, when.
Most jobs run 3 to 5 working days from drain to refill. Here's the full sequence:
I come out, look at the pool, measure, and confirm the scope. You get a written service agreement that locks in the $2,500 labor rate, the milestone payments, and the expected timeline. Nothing starts until both of us sign.
I send you a materials list with quantities. You pay the supplier directly — no middleman, no markup. This typically saves you several hundred to a thousand-plus dollars vs. a contractor invoice.
We pump the pool down to bare shell. If your pool has been sitting a while, expect roughly a half-day on this step alone.
The make-or-break step. We chip away loose plaster, acid-wash the surface, neutralize, rinse, and prep for bonding. This is what most "cheap" resurfacing skips — and why those jobs fail in 2 years.
Once you walk the prepped pool with me and approve, you Zelle or hand me $1,000. This unlocks the bonding + plaster phase.
Bonding coat goes down first to lock the new plaster to the old shell. Then the plaster crew arrives and trowels the finish in a single continuous pour — no seams, no patchy color.
Same day plaster goes in, refill starts. Final labor payment of $1,500 is due that same day (cash or Zelle). Pool fills overnight.
Fresh plaster needs to be brushed daily for the first week to prevent dust and streaking. I walk you through exactly how, plus the chemistry sequence (alkalinity → pH → calcium → chlorine) so you don't burn the new finish.
