What else should I consider doing to the pool at the same time as it is being resurfaced?

This is the time to consider many items. The list below is to provide you with a checklist of items that are sometimes overlooked when a pool renovation is contemplated. Contact our office to discuss further with you any pool upgrades you may be considering.

Here are a few to consider:

Upgrade Finish
Tile and Coping: The time to replace tile and coping is before a new pool finish has been applied.
Cantilever Decks: You can give your pool a new look by cutting back the cantilever deck and installing rock or brick coping around the edge of the pool.
New Decks: Consider replacing your decks in conjunction with your pool renovation. If decks and the pool are being remodeled together, this gives us the opportunity to set your new pool coping and tile absolutely level since we are not inheriting existing decks that may or may not be level.
Skimmer: Whether or not decks are being replaced, your skimmer should be evaluated for possible replacement. Certain skimmer designs are problematic.
Pool Light: A pool light that looks fine in the old pool sometimes no longer looks that good against the new pool finish. We offer upgrade lights with color variation capability. We can also assist in verifying that your light circuitry meets current electric codes. For example, many older installations do not have GFI shock protection.
Fittings: Unless otherwise directed we will replace only “standard” type fittings. “Screw-in” type fittings are replaced only when specified on the contract.
Wallsteps: Plastic wallsteps are often in poor condition and should be replaced prior to the pool being refinished.
Pool/spa Suction: Inlet suction in your pool/spa can be especially hazardous to children. It is important to review how water is returned to the equipment pad and consider “split-suction” in some cases.
Trim Tile: Trim tile is eliminated when a pool is refinished. If you wish to replace trim tile on your steps and benches, it must be specified on the contract.
