Randy Dugan and his workers putting a new plaster surface on our pool. Before this, they chipped away the old surface round the perimeter and applied a bond coat to the whole pool. They also sandblasted the tiles to clean them.
Yeah. I Don't know what I was smoking making that comment. Had our Michigan pool resurfaced with Pebble Tec at the end of last year. Pretty amazing performance from everyone on the crew - the guys were all specialists who did an outstanding job.
In 2009 it cost $3000. It's a large pool. I did not get to photograph the preparation - they sandblasted the tiles clean and chipped out 4" below the tiles and around all the openings so the surface would be level at the edges. And it was a lot of hard- working men (they were all men.) Around here most of the hard working folks are Hispanic. (Try picking peaches in July.) This was a mixed crew, like many.
