So, if you need to resurface your pool, look no further than San Jose Pool Resurfacing & Plastering.
Before we can get started, we first need to drain your pool. We'll send one of our professional technicians to the job site who will use a submersible water pump to pump the water out. The amount of time this takes can vary drastically depending on the size of your pool, but it can take several hours to drain your pool completely.
During this step, we'll also mark any pool lights and their corresponding switches so that you know to keep them turned off until your pool is filled back up again.
We will begin the surface preparation process once we've pumped all the water out of your pool. While the exact steps taken during this process vary widely depending on the type of surface material you choose to resurface your pool with, it generally involves sandblasting and stripping away old and damaged surface material from your pool and then coating it for extra protection.
Unfortunately, this step often entails the use of heavy equipment and produces a ton of dust and debris which makes it by far the loudest and dirtiest step of the pool resurfacing process. Still, as long as there aren't major structural damages to your pool, surface preparation usually takes just a single day.
We do our best to leave your yard in the exact condition as when we arrive and are extremely careful to cover and capture dust and debris as it's produced so that we can carry it off-site at the end of the day.
However, dust is tricky to manage, and we aren't perfect, so we still advise all of our clients to move outdoor furniture and cover any sheds, decorations, or other structures with tarps just to be safe.
Once the surface is adequately prepared, our expert tile and masonry workers will install the type of tile, masonry features, and decorative options that you chose back during the planning stages.
We'll double-check and confirm all of your chosen design options with you to ensure that everything from the choice of tile down to the color of the grout used to install them. There's no turning back at this point, so if you have second thoughts about your design, this is the last chance to bring them up.
Again depending on the size of your pool and the materials that you have chosen, this step can last anywhere from one to three days.
Up next is sealing the plumbing and newly installed tile and masonry. Our experienced pool technicians will ensure that everything is sealed correctly to avoid any potential leaks in the future and keep your pool running in tip-top shape for years to come. We'll then wash the surface so that it's as clean as possible for the next step of the process.
Once everything is properly sealed, it's time to install the pool finishing material that you chose early. This step is where the final form of your newly resurfaced pool starts to take shape, and it generally takes one to two days to complete.
Acid washing is only necessary if you selected one of a few different pool finishing materials, including pebble and dark quartz, but we'll make sure you're well aware of that fact before you make a final finish decision.
Just be sure that if you have pets or young children, keep them inside during this step so that they aren't accidentally exposed to any of the harmful chemicals used during this process.
Here at San Jose Pool Resurfacing & Plastering, we take cleanup incredibly seriously. We know that some contractors have a reputation for packing up quickly and leaving huge messes in their wake, but before we leave, we'll make sure your yard looks just as spotless as when we first arrived.
Once everything has been installed, it's time to fill your pool back up with water. This process can take up to a day or more in the case of especially large pools, so we tell our clients to keep an eye on their pools as they fill and to turn the water off as soon as it hits the halfway point.
This is the final step of the process, and it involves the regular monitoring of your newly resurfaced pool over a period of a week after initial installation. This, along with a few other essential follow-up procedures, are essential to ensuring that your pool surface cures correctly.
We'll send one of our pool technicians to the job site to inspect the pool and ensure that there are no leaks, bleeding colors, or any other complications that might occur. Most of the time, there aren't any issues, but some do arise; we won't rest until the problem is fixed and you are completely satisfied.
No matter how well you take care of your pool, constant weathering and continued use will eventually cause your pool to succumb to normal wear and tear that can worsen your swimming experience and decrease the value of your home.
The three most common signs of damage that you should look out for are stains, textures, and leaks. If you notice any of these problems in your pool, you should call the professionals here at San Jose Pool Resurfacing & Plastering as soon as possible.
Though stains pose no real danger to your pool, they affect its visual appeal and be an annoyance to look at. Stains come in all shapes, sizes, and colors and can be caused by natural debris like leaves and branches as well as by algae, chemicals, mineral deposits, and inks and dyes from clothing.
While it's often not too difficult to remove these stains yourself, this can come with a few significant drawbacks. Firstly inexperienced DIYers don't have the knowledge and expertise of a professional and can sometimes end up causing further damage to the pool.
Another drawback is that cleaning the stain doesn't fix the problem; it just treats a symptom. Unless you figure out what exactly stained your pool and how you can prevent it from doing so again in the future, new stains will continue to appear and cause further frustration.
For these reasons alone, it's best to leave stain removal and prevention to the professionals, so if you notice stains in your pool, call the experts here at San Jose Pool Resurfacing & Plastering.
While the visual appearance of your pool is incredibly important, so is the texture and feel when you're swimming in it. No one wants their feet to get all scratched up every time they touch the bottom of the pool, and a rough pool surface can quickly ruin a swimmer's experience.
If the surface or your pool is starting to feel rougher than normal, it could be because of a chemical imbalance in your pool that's causing the lining of your pool to deteriorate and expose the rough gunite underneath. You might also notice that you need to clean your pool more than normal, which is another sure tale sign of a pH imbalance.
If left unchecked, unbalanced pH levels in your pool will continue to cause it to deteriorate over time, so if your pool surface feels rougher than it should, don't wait any longer. Contact our expert team today.
Leaks are by far the most severe type of pool damage and can lead to significant damage to your property if ignored. While the San Jose sun can be expected to cause the water in your pool to evaporate over time, if you notice significant drops in the water level of your pool, it is most likely due to a leak.
Leaks can lead you to keep refilling your pool much more frequently than you should need to, but the increased water bill isn't what you need to worry about. Just like an unbalanced pH level, leaks will only get worse over time, so once one is discovered, it's essential that you call us so that we can get it taken care of as soon as possible.
As we've mentioned before, pools are subject to wearing down over time, just like any other structure on your property, but San Jose Pool Resurfacing & Plastering has the know-how and specialized equipment to help you make sure that your pool is properly maintained.
Our highly trained pool technicians use advanced tools and techniques to ensure that all of your pool's essential components, including pumps, heaters, filters, and drains, are functioning properly and free of leaks.
We'll also inspect the physical structure, including the plaster and tiling, to ensure that they aren't worn down or damaged in any way, providing you with peace of mind in knowing that your pool will be free of potential problems down the road.
