    Travertine pool deck question

    Ours is strait edge but the edges are eased a bit so it is not sharp. I personally like the look better. When I see bullnose it makes me think of a public pool. I think it is going to hurt if you hit your head against either so probably just personal preference.

    Granite countertop for a swim up bar

    Just because this can be a little confusing Quartz as in the manmade material would NOT be a good choice because it will yellow in sunlight (may be ok if using a dark one) but it is non-porous and does not require sealing. We have it inside our house it is awesome. Quartzite is a natural product...

    New PB Quote - Texas

    It cost me $12/hour to use my spa on propane and we usually only run it a couple hours at the most. With natural gas it would be a lot cheaper. Oh and on the Fusion there is a version called "soft" that says it is a salt sanitizer but that one was not what my PB uses and I am not 100% that it...

    New PB Quote - Texas

    I am the rare exception here apparently but I actually love my attached spa. We did not do one on our last pool and kind of felt like we should have. We added one on our new pool and honestly I was pretty on the fence about it all the way up until we signed the contract. Now having it for a few...

    Too deep

    I love the feel of polished I had a friend that had that finish and it feels amazing. I am not sure though about the longevity compared to a pebble finish. We had mini pebble in our last pool it was ok. In our current pool we have PebbleSheen which I was told was comparable to mini pebble but it...

    Cost of just LABOR for plastering a new pool

    I am in custom manufacturing (completely unrelated to pools) and we run in to this all the time. A customer says "Hey I already bought all this material can you do the finishing?" On every thing we do we have waste associated with the material and that is part of the cost estimated in our price...
