What we are, plainly
No slogans. Here is what you are actually hiring.
Based in Asheville, working pools across Buncombe and Henderson counties and out to Lake Toxaway, Lake Lure, Highlands and Cashiers.
We look at the actual pool before we price it. The written quote lists every line and the things that would move the number. Nothing is quoted blind.
White plaster, quartz and pebble priced side by side, with what each one feels like underfoot and how long each one lasts.
A new finish over a leaking shell is money in the drain. Leaks and cracks are found and fixed while the pool is empty.
Drain, prep, tile, coping, finish, fill and the start-up chemistry. The crew that trowels the finish is the crew that starts it up.
Fresh plaster needs steady temperatures above freezing to cure, so mountain resurfacing runs spring through fall. We tell you when the weather is wrong for your pool.
How a job runs
Five steps, in the order they happen.
You call or send the form
The town, a rough size and what bothers you about the pool is enough to start.
We look at the pool
The finish, the shell, the tile line, the coping and any water loss. This is where the number comes from.
A written quote
Drain, prep, repairs, tile and the finish options, each as a line item.
Drain, repair, finish
Leaks and cracks fixed, the old surface prepped, tile and coping set, the new finish troweled in a single day.
Fill and start-up
Filled without stopping, then brushed and balanced through the first weeks while the finish cures.
What we will tell you straight
The things a quote usually leaves out.
Whether you need a resurface at all
Some stained or rough plaster comes back with an acid wash or a chemistry fix. We say so before we sell a new finish. Stains and etching, explained.
Why mountain water matters
Soft, low-calcium water pulls calcium out of fresh plaster and leaves it etched and rough. The start-up and the water balance after it decide how long the finish lasts. How long each finish lasts.
When the leak is the real job
If the pool is losing water, the leak comes before the finish. We find it, fix it and price it on its own line. Pool losing water.
Where the price moves
Pool size, how much of the old surface has to come off, the finish, the tile and the coping. The cost guides show the ranges and what pushes a job to the top of one. Start with the cost guide.
Under the water line
The prep that decides how long a finish lasts.
