Our plaster finish includes traditional extra white cement mixed with white crushed marble, finished with specials trowels for a smooth-to-the-touch finish. For years, this has been the favorite finish of pool builders and remodelers. It can last up to 15 years with proper start-up, maintenance, and chemical balance. We offer a 10-year warranty for our plaster finishes. The pebble finish is an exposed aggregate finish consisting of small, rounded pebble mix in an array of different colors. It is most commonly used on natural looking pools, ponds, and water features.
We begin by using a saw with a diamond blade on grinders to undercut the tile line and protect the existing swimming pool tile (if there is no new tile to install). We check the pool for loose plaster, then determine if we need to remove the plaster down to gunite or bond coat the surface of the pool. While bond coating is the preferable way to prep your pool for plaster, sometimes the old surface is in such poor condition that all the old plaster has to be chipped off. A strong bond is needed, so we acid or pressure wash the surface before applying the bond coat.
