BeforeAfter
What we found
The pool had been repaired more than once and was still settling. At some point it had been pressure grouted back up. When the owners decided to build a new home, the pool came out.
How we sequenced it
The existing pool was removed, and the new one went in from the ground up. Excavation, steel, shotcrete, then waterproofing on the shell, followed by plumbing, tile and equipment. The deck came next, then bond coat, a CL Industries Quartz interior in the Mystic Series, and an Orenda startup.
The new pool has a spa and full automation. Alfred Innovations, a separately licensed company, built the screen enclosure on the same schedule as the pool. One crew, one schedule. The enclosure was built with a mega view panel, so the river behind the house is what you look at from the water.
Where it landed
A new shell in place of one that kept settling, with a spa, automation, and an enclosure that keeps the view of the river open. The homeowners absolutely loved the end result.

Questions we get on this kind of job
How long does a pool renovation take?
It depends on scope, permitting, weather, and material lead times. A builder who quotes a day count before seeing your shell is guessing. What you should expect is a dated schedule before work starts, and that is what we give you.
Why does coping go on before waterline tile?
Setting coping first means the tile band is only cut once, and it lets the waterproofing run continuously behind both. Tiling first forces a second cut and leaves a break in the waterproofing at the joint most exposed to sun and pool chemistry.
When do I pay?
Milestone billing. Each stage of the schedule triggers its own invoice, and a stage is only billed once it's complete. Nothing is billed ahead of the work.
Thinking about a pool like this one?
Luke walks it himself and prices it line-item by trade. You'll have a dated schedule before anything comes apart.
