BeforeAfter
What we found
No pool in the backyard.
How we sequenced it
Layout, excavation, steel and forms, shotcrete, then waterproofing on the shell. Plumbing, tile and the deck followed, then bond coat, the equipment, a CL Industries Quartz interior in Super Blue, and an Orenda startup.
The shape was built for volleyball, deep through the middle, with a tanning ledge and a spa.
Where it landed
You can still play volleyball across the pool, which is what it was shaped for. There is a tanning ledge and a spa alongside it. The homeowner is extremely happy, and it is a good place to relax.
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.
