Express Pool Plastering has the capability to manage just about every facet of the pool renovation process. We specialize in specific aspects of pool construction and when other areas of expertise are needed we rely on relationships built up over many years to supply the needed services.

Our crews are trained to perform specific pool remodel functions and it is therefore not unusual for a crew to be scheduled on more than one job in a day. Depending on where the pool is, relative to the schedule, it is quite normal to see people arrive at mid-day or even in the late afternoon. Generally, off days are planned to allow material to fully dry before the next phase of construction or to provide schedule spacing in the event more time is needed for phase completion than anticipated.

There are several pebble finishes to choose from. Pebble material is more expensive and installation is a process that requires each installer be trained and certified. Expect a longer service life and less maintenance required as compared to traditional plaster.

Known as crazing or checking, the tiny, barely visible cracks are usually caused by extreme temperature variations, especially during initial curing. These are not actually cracks, and pose no structural hazard or danger of leaking.

This is known as mottling, and distinct from surface stains and deposits, mottling may appear as grayish areas. Rarely do I see a plaster job that is white like milk. They’re usually white like clouds. Being a natural product, mottling is inherent in any plaster job and should not be considered a defect.

The length of time to remodel a pool depends on the extent of the work we are performing. Pools that are being refinished with plaster, quarts or pebble usually take 2-3 days to prep and plaster. Pools that require tile, coping and plaster may take 3-4 days weather permitting. Extensively remodeled pools will require additional construction time. Be assured that Express Pool Plastering will make every effort to consistently move the job along and complete your project in a timely manner.

Yes! There are number of advantages. Pools are generally not used as much in the winter and pool renovations is somewhat slower in the fall/winter months. It is easier to obtain desired scheduling when we are not in the spring/summer “busy season”. It is not recommended to plaster a pool when it is 40 degrees or lower.

Express Pool Plastering will give you recommended literature from the National Plasterers Council on how to take care of your new plaster finish. If you choose not to start-up your own pool, we will be more than happy to recommend a start-up company for you.

The length of time required to fill a pool depends on a number of variables such as your local water pressure, the number of hoses being used, and the size of the pool. The average pool takes 24 – 36 hours to fill and it is important to remember that the water should not be turned off until the pool is completely full.

While our crews make every attempt to minimize the impact upon the area surrounding your pool, a remodel site can be dusty. We therefore recommend that pool furniture and potted plants be moved away from the pool area while construction is in progress. It is also suggested that windows be kept shut near the pool for the duration of the pool remodel.

Every water company is different. Contact your local water company. If a form needs to be filled out, we will be more than happy to help you answer any necessary questions. Special precautions should be taken with water that is soft. We strongly urge you to consult with your pool service professional or contact our office in this situation.

Yes, they will fill in just fine.

We do NOT recommend painting the inner surface of a swimming pool! It is a short-term solution to improve the appearance of a pool. Unfortunately, if a pool is painted and the pool owner at a later date desires to replaster, additional charges are often necessary due to the difficulty in removing multiple layers of paint.
