. They were great, came to us on a recommendation also. They did our coping, tile and plaster renovation last year although they sub out the plaster. Great to work with, you are going to be very happy, the project looks terrific! Here is a picture of mine (in Yardley,PA)when they were finished, this is a renovation, not new. They do great work, Mike is in picture #1:

Pool is filling fast...we have about 14 inches to go. I'm going to go home at lunch and start running the pump with the skimmers off so my wife can start with pool chemistry as soon as we clear tile.

As much as I wish this was the last step...I just wrote out a 46 item to-do list of loose ends...
In this picture you can see the guest cottage right behind the pool. Once we actually have money again (or maybe IF we ever have money again), we will be gutting it, removing the screens on the flagstone patio and incorporating it into the pool area as a game room/bath.

It is fabulous! Congratulations... with a pool like that, there is no need for money to go anywhere else!

Your pool and yard look really nice. 
Did the plaster people give you any start up instructions like brushing frequently?

Water delivery company told me it would take 3 days. Scammers! $1,500 in my pocket.
Now let's see if it holds...

Yes...we got a sheet to follow. Pretty close to Pool School so I'll follow theirs to the letter and document it just in case.

Yep, Coronado- they were great- it was interesting watching them work- great end results. I followed pool school/Bellos recomendations which were very close to each other. LOTS of brushing- if you do not have one yet get the "wall whale" brush- it makes brushing 1000 times easier and more efficient.
Good luck and enjoy your pool it looks great!
Water held overnight and pool chemistry is doing the normal up/down crazyness.
New board and stand will be up today so I can install that tonight. Also got the proper tool/seals for the spa jets so I can get the blower going. Since I couldn't fully install the jets, water pressure from the water side was pushing into the air side and pressurizing the blower line, clamping the check valve closed. The blower couldn't break the check valve and therefore no bubbles. Hopefully this will fix that.
