We are living in our house 2 years and before we moved in we had the pool inspected by a local company (Preferred Pool Inspections). The report said it is in good shape with some plaster fading away but coping all good shape. Only significant recommendation was to repair the sealant between the deck and coping which we did.
Over the last 2 summers the tiles have been slowly popping off the coping by the water line. I asked my pool guy and he said we will want to eventually repair that. I had a guy from Anthony & Sylvan come out and he said that the coping is starting to come loose causing the tiles to get pushed out. He walked around and banged the coping with a metal rod (some were hollow sounding, he said that’s a sign they are coming loose). He said that just replacing the tiles won’t do anything, we need to tear out the coping and replace it.
He also suggested we replaster the pool. He said it is a Sylvan pool, likely from the 80s made of shotcrete and wont crack.
Total cost was about 20k, 10k for each piece. Pool is 20x40 with a spa in one corner.
Does all this make sense?
Also looking for recommendations for other companies that could do any or all this work as 20k (or even 10k) is way out of our budget.
