I am getting 3 quotes, of the samples I have seen I like the look and feel of quartz..Pebble would probably last longer but my wife thinks our normal concrete driveway hurts her feet
Interesting one company said I have major damage and it's an extra 5K but 2 other guys said possible but they didn't see anything to point to it and they are both pool builders so probably know.
Waiting on 2 more quotes and hoping to get on the schedule and get it ready to swim
You'll likely get dramatically different quotes. When we redid our pool's surface the high bid was more than double the low bid. We settled on the mid-range bid because he had all the elements itemized whereas high/low had very generalized descriptions of work to be performed. So don't necessarily rely on them to "probably know" things.
