    FinestFinish Mini vs Stonescapes Minipebble

    I did some research on the finest finish micro because I liked how smooth it was, but ultimately went with the stonescapes mini. The data and reviews on finest finish actually seemed really good. They make the plaster for most pool companies and the finest finish is a product line. I did not...

    Need Warmth for Plaster/Pebble (DFW TX)

    Hey there, here are some pics of my pool now that it's been running about 3 days. These photos were taken at different times on different days to show the changes in sunlight. When we first filled the pool, it had a hint of green. Now that it's running it's a pure blue, which is exactly what...

    Need Warmth for Plaster/Pebble (DFW TX)

    Yes, they showed up right at 7am and got started. The first surprise was finding an opossum in the pool. Fortunately he was alive! Here is the "after" with acid wash scheduled for tomorrow. Stonescapes aqua blue mini. I'll include one remodeling "before" pic for entertainment.

    Need Warmth for Plaster/Pebble (DFW TX)

    What is travertine coping process when remodeling 9 inch coping?

    Hi everyone, we are in the process of getting bids to remodel our 1990s pool (coping, tile, finish). It seems that travertine coping from NPI and NPT and everywhere else is always 12xX but our current brick coping is 9 inches. One builder said he would just cut our aggregate deck all the way...

    Travertine Coping cuts and Pool Light Questions

    We aren't planning on replacing plumbing due to the concrete jungle, and fortunately the skimmers are in good condition. The inflow area needs to be replaced with the metal bar though.

    Travertine Coping cuts and Pool Light Questions

    Great, thanks! While I have your ear, do you know if it is standard/not standard to replace the pool return jets/fittings when doing a chip out and refinish? One company advertised they are "better" because they do that, but it had never crossed my mind before.
