thank you!

So a follow-up - I have noticed that there appear to be light, sand colored lines (about 3” wide) running towards the filter at the deep end. Primarily 2, but if I really scrutinized I may see more. they stand out against the cadet blue finish which is quite dark. Is this dirt that has cured...

Thank you both! The plaster crew said they can do an acid wash to get rid of it, but this would require draining the pool and they have been very ambiguous as to whether the wash will darken all of the plaster, which I do not want, or just the stained area. I am nervous to take this course...

Hi All, I had a pool installed (construction began Labor Day weekend) and it was just filled ~2 weeks ago. Plaster crew applied Wet Edge Signature matrix plaster on a Thursday, did the acid was Friday, and put the hose in when leaving so the pool would fill. Well, the plaster crew forgot to...

Thanks, all, for the replies. As an update, the builder now told me it won't cost more (after I called the owner) so that's a plus. Anyway they finished the steel but only installed the Steeltex/pool wire on one section and said this is only needed where the wall previously caved in. I am taking...

My mortgage lender suggested this company because they built 3 pools for her but she had a different salesperson so maybe that is the issue. Ugh, terrible! I do not want to wait that long. and i hate watching the dug hole just fall apart...

Crazy!!! And I will be sure to double check, thank you. We went with a reputable company out of Lutz that was more expensive than some others but I wanted to ensure things were done correctly and they have not been very impressive to day the least. I hope yours wraps up soon!

I agree, it just does not make sense to me and I feel like I am being taken advantage of. They dug Labor Day weekend, without letting me see the layout first because I was out of town (I asked them to wait until the following week when I returned) and they have not done any work since.

Interesting-I understand charging for a change order in normal circumstances (for example, the pool company is providing the travertine, and I changed my selection so I paid for the CO) but if I am providing the waterline tile and they are simply installing it why should I pay for a change...

I am having a heck of a time with my pool construction and I have a question regarding costs. background: in March 2021 I signed a contract for a new pool and hot tub to be built in Tampa, Florida. We are getting travertine decking and the pool is 12,600 gallons, free form. When we signed the...
