I'm just wrapping up my pool remodel; there are going to re plaster it with pebble this week. it's about 40 years old and was finished about 10 years ago with plaster which was starting to crack. I live in Northern Ca in Silicon Valley, it's pretty competitive up here but everything is very very expensive because everyone thinks we work at FB or Apple
Here is the breakdown of setup and quotes from 4 different pool remodelers. Hope this helps.
What I got:
20k in ground Pool.
900 Sq Feet of patio
Pool Work:
-Strip old plaster (not sand blast, as all 4 pool remodelers told me the new your new coat is only as good as the last one, they jack hammered for like 2 days removing the old plaster.) $1600-$1800
-Apply - StoneScape minipebble $7600-8000
-Remove and replace 134 lin ft waterline tile $2400-$2900 (Labor only, this includes my raised pool wall, water proofing, etc.
-Remove and replace 45 lin ft of spa tile $810
-Install 62 lin ft of coping. $ 2100-2400 (Labor only, I decided to keep my old coping b/c it was in good shape)
-Install Spa light (Intelibrite 5 LED) $1550-$1850
-Install Sun Ledge 16" Deep with 2 umbrella holes $1200-1800. (Build from cinder block $1100-$1800 shoot with Gunite)
Paver Work:
-Install 900Sq of Belgard pavers. 10k
-Install 50 foot retaining wall above pool. $4000
-Includes Cast concrete caps and $12 lin ft of ledge veneer stone.(Which i didn't use b/c my wife wanted the $30 mosaic glass tile
I'm regretting letting the paver guys do the wall on the pool side, as they don't know much about working with pools and trying to get out of water proofing the back of the retaining wall and other things the PB recommened so water doesnt leech into my see glass mosaic tiles :grrrr:

So total I’m in for about $35k for pool and patio not including any of the outdoor kitchen you see there that I'm doing myself. Tack on $15k for that just in materials and my bbq equipment. Doing it myself so i figure I'm saving about $10k in labor cost. Thank goodness for 0% Credit cards!
