Before and after
Drag to compare.
BeforeAfter
What we found
The existing pool was outdated. The owners wanted a spa and an updated footprint.
How we sequenced it
The old pool was demolished and the new one went in from scratch. Excavation, forms and steel, shotcrete, waterproofing on the shell, then plumbing and equipment. Tile went on, then a larger stamped concrete deck. Bond coat, a PMM Freestone pebble interior in St. Lucia Pearl, and an Orenda startup.
The new pool has a sun shelf and a spa. Alfred Innovations, a separately licensed company, built the screen enclosure on the same schedule as the pool. One crew, one schedule.
Where it landed
A different footprint than the pool it replaced, with a sun shelf, a spa, more stamped concrete deck around it, and a screen enclosure over the whole thing. The owners got what they wanted and are very happy with it.
What went in
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.
