If you haven’t done any research about pool resurfacing, it’s easy to be led astray. You’ll inevitably come across talk of chemical bonding, quartz finishes, and all sorts of other services. It’s not uncommon for us to come across customers who may have the wrong idea about what to expect based upon a quick internet search or two. To make sure you’re not left in the dark, here’s a bit more info to help you understand just what goes into our pool resurfacing services:
Often, tile and concrete pools need to be resurfaced once every decade, if not every five years. The same is true of decks as well. Fiberglass lasts longer, usually between ten and fifteen years. It’s important to know which type of material you have, but don’t worry if you’re uncertain. We will be glad to help you sort that out once we’re on the scene.
There are a few different resurfacing options that might apply to your pool. These include the use of materials like cement aggregate, tile, fiberglass, and concrete. Here’s what to expect from each one:
Concrete is one of the most popular options since it is durable and affordable alike. It can last for as many as seven years without the need for further work. It is generally straightforward, but colored options can help liven up the pool if that’s your desire.
Cement aggregate takes cement and mixes in additional materials. This usually means small bits of granite, quartz, or even tiles. This is very affordable, and the mixture will liven up the look of your pool. There are a few types to choose from, including pebble and “Diamond Brite.” Be sure to inquire about your options when you get in touch.
Fiberglass is another choice with lots of aesthetic options, and it has a lot of staying power. It doesn’t have to be cleaned as often as some other options since there are no pores along the surface.
Tile resurfacing will give you further options to choose from, such as porcelain, glass, or ceramic. Each option then has additional subsets of choices you can make. This versatility makes the tile a popular option for those who are hoping for the most glamorous pool possible. Please note that this is the most expensive option. The upside is that this is a long-lasting resurfacing style since you’ll only be dealing with small chips or cracks that can easily be cracked over the following decade.
Of course, Scottsdale Pool Resurfacing can answer any questions you have regarding your options for pool resurfacing. We will also be able to help you out with drain channels, non-slip options for your floor, draining covers, sealers, repainting, epoxy, and expansion joints. We’ll provide you with a free estimate before we do any work. There’s no pressure to commit to anything until you’re delighted with the plan we set forth.
As with concrete, the price of fiberglass pool resurfacing will depend mainly on how big your pool is. The shape won’t be as important in this instance. Fiberglass resurfacing utilizes a gel that is easier to work around curves.
The shape of your pool plays a big part. If you have many cracks that need to be filled in, expect to pay more than you would otherwise. Our team is well versed in those types of repairs, so rest assured we will make it look brand new again. When you get in touch with us, have the dimensions of your pool ready, so we can get you the most accurate price quote.
Scottsdale Pool Resurfacing also offers repair and deck resurfacing services. Here are just a few of the options available:
We will be happy to offer any of these services to you as part of a full-on resurfacing job. We can also provide basic repair work on a standalone basis if needed. Whether it’s filling in small chips and cracks or re-smoothing your surfaces, we’re always available to help restore your pool area.
It might sound obvious, but this is the first step that shows the contractor’s ability. On the first day of the project, one of our team members will thoroughly drain your pool. A full inspection will also be conducted. Any vulnerable furniture surrounding the site will be identified. All of the bubble hoses and pumps will be checked to ensure they are working correctly.
After ensuring that everything is dry and clean, we will start to prep the surfaces to ensure they are smooth enough to work on. That will include covering up all of the surroundings, stripping the whole surface, multi-coating, and sandblasting.
Anytime you sandblast, it is impossible to not create a mess. All of our employees are committed to minimizing the dust as much as possible. We aren’t finished until we clean up everything and remove our equipment.
It is finally time to install the decorative features and tiles that you have selected for your project. At that point, the final patterns and locations will be set. So, before we start, we will need your final say and approval.
We will want to document this stage and have it signed before moving forward. The tiling can take from 1 to 3 days to complete.
When it comes to pool maintenance, one of the more critical factors is water-tightness. Once we have completed the tiling work, we will devote a day to checking your plumbing to ensure it is properly sealed and ready to go. We will take care of any necessary repairs as well.
Once the pool’s shell has been cleaned and inspected, we will install the finishing material you selected. This is when you will finally see your remodeled pool details start to show.
The process can take from 1 to 3 days to complete, depending on which material you choose. If you selected a Quartz, Hydrazzo, Pebble, or Beadcrete finish, then we will do a thorough acid wash treatment as well. It is a standard part of this process for certain high-end materials, and special personnel will handle it.
Our crew will always thoroughly clean up our mess each night following the day’s work. There will still be some extra dirt that has accumulated. That is why after we are done installing your pool finish, we will conduct another general clean-up. We will then fill your pool up, so please make sure you are around to turn the water off when needed.
The initial treatment is the final step necessary to ensure the pool resurfacing job lasts. This process can take as long as seven days and might require several checks and adjustments.
Some of our Scottsdale customers prefer this step to be done by their chosen pool service professionals. We can do it ourselves, or we are happy to work your pool service. It is your choice. All that matters is that it gets done.
If you have any questions about materials, procedures, or budgets, or would like to see some before and after photos of our work, please call us. Scottsdale Pool Resurfacing is ready to show you why we are the best in the business.
