    Liner maintenance vs Gunite?

    Hey everyone, we absolutely love our pool/backyard, but we will be handing it over to the new home owners that bought our home. We bought liner because we live in Western MA and we were nervous about gunite, that and we really liked the PB that did our vinyl. We are moving to GA and I’m...

    Recently I have been looking at a bunch of pools to get ideas of what I want, I have noticed a bunch do not have deep ends. They are not all Sport Pools, just shaped pools with no deep ends. The depths vary from 3-5 feet in most. I have noticed most people hang out in the shallow area and it...

    I was dead set on Liner, but today I spent a few hours with a Gunite company and after looking at 5-6 pools they installed I am going to see what they can do for me. A few things I like are the Pebbletec, after I saw this in person it is stunning, and I also love how most of their pool builds...
