    Old plaster delaminating under Pebbletec re-surface

    Update: I had to sign a contract to agree to terms to have my pool redone. In the contract was a clause saying I agree not to post internet comments or reviews about the company. They also wanted full payment before doing the job. I got them to take out the clause about internet comments. I...

    Old plaster delaminating under Pebbletec re-surface

    Pool Pebble Sheen Cracks

    I found hairline crack running across the floor in middle of my pool. The pool was resurfaced almost 4 to 5-years ago. The floor is also bubbling up in spots. I did the bucket test and no leaks. I got a guy to do ink test from a company and he said the ink ran into the cracks and out. He...
