Draining the pool
This may take around 6 to 12 hours and it depends on the size of your outdoor or inground pool as well.
Chipping out
If you requested tiling then this will be the step before that. This will be the loudest out of all the steps in this pool remodeling process.
Tiling
You get to choose what type of tiles we will be putting in your newly-remodeled pool. It can take one whole day or two days, depending on the number of tiles and the size of your outdoor or inground pool.
Surface Application
We will mix pebble and plaster and will bring our trucks in in order to do this properly. This will take about 4 to 6 hours.
Pebble Application
Pebble application is generally quick and should normally take only a few hours.
Adding Water
You as the Homeowner must be present during this process. Since the water must reach halfway up the tile line, or the skimmer opening before the water flow is turned off. This could take about 12 to 48 hours in total.
Chemical Startup
The is the last step! This depends on whether you prefer using plaster or pebble. The reason behind this is that plaster is more sensitive and you will have to match the water’s pH level to that of an acid state for a longer time period than pebble-based pools.

DRAINAGE
Having problems with the drainage in your outdoor or inground pool can lead to more problems like a messy backyard. With poor deck drainage it would cause you to have a puddle and get outside water into your pool. This can also cause ugly mold stains as well as it can be dangerous due to slippery that is caused by this one problem. Pool builders at Jacksonville, FL install overflow drains near the rim of the pool that prevents flooding.
EXCESSIVELY ROUGH SURFACE
If your pool has this feature it is probably caused by rising pH, excessive crazing, delamination, or negative environment conditions. This can also be dangerous to your kids so let them always wear water shoes whenever they want to dip in your outdoor or inground pool. You can also do quick repairs of your own like sanding, shaving, or acid washing, but if you really need to permanently and conveniently fix this. We got you covered!
STRUCTURAL CRACKS
This is usually caused by incorrect design or construction. Your outdoor or inground pool should be engineered properly to withstand unstable or expansive soil, and then it must be built as specified. Swimming pools may structurally fail and leak water if the outdoor or inground pool is not built accordingly and engineered incorrectly.
SURFACE CRACKS
Also known as craze cracks is caused by shrinkage and is often seen as a light surface crack in your outdoor or inground pool area. This doesn’t usually leak water, but excessive cracks can cause further problems like staining, algae, and calcium nodules and may need to be replastered.
SCALING
Causes of this are improper levels of pH, alkalinity, or calcium, buildup/deposits of calcium or other minerals. This includes etching and calcium nodules. You can avoid scaling by brushing the pool walls regularly, predilute acid before adding it to the water, only add salt after 30 days of plastering, and not allow salt to sit as a solid on fresh plaster. But if you don’t want to do this yourself and don’t have the time to do this, the pool builders of Jacksonville, FL can gladly take this task away from you!
DISCOLORATION
If water-line tile is not installed, then this can happen to your outdoor or inground pool. Plaster is porous, that is why it stains easily. The Plaster may be incorrectly troweled, or the water chemistry is imbalanced. Be sure that the pool is filled continually and that you have installed tile along the water line. You can avoid imbalanced water by testing the water of your outdoor or inground pool for at least once a week and if needed, adjust the chemical levels too. The discoloration can be removed by acid washing but may return later. Avoid the hassles of dealing with this by contacting us now to get a quote.
SPALLING
his may happen due to over-trowelling the surface, improperly timed troweling, or adding too much water while trowelling. A spall is a thin layer with approximately ⅛ inch or less of plaster surface that flakes or peels off, it is usually seen from the bottom side of your outdoor or inground pool area. You can fix this by sanding off the spalled area or if it’s a large area, you will need to replaster it.
POPPING UP/FLOATING
This can be caused by water pressure pushing on it and all types of pools can encounter this over time. Although it is not a pervasive problem, an entire gunite shell can naturally lift and float.
