filling the pool

24 Hours after our gel coat is applied your pool is ready to fill with water and should be done at the time provided from our team in your after care instructions.

Enjoy Your Pool

That is it! In about 1 week from start to finish your pool is ready to enjoy with your family and friends once again with a finish that will last for years to come.

step 1

Drain The pool

We start each pool project with a consistent approach. First, we rapidly drain the pool using high-capacity pumps, all while evaluating and stabilizing the water table. If we detect the presence of water beneath the pool, we will drill a relief hole at its deepest point. Certain pools may necessitate extra dewatering techniques, such as well pointing. Rest assured, we take every precaution to safeguard your property and will clearly outline the necessary steps and any potential additional costs.

vapor blast

The next phase involves using crushed glass for vapor blasting, which effectively prepares the pool surface for the new finish. This technique is not only the cleanest but also the most efficient method for sanding a pool, minimizing any potential damage to the pool shell while allowing us to reach every contour and angle. If there’s an existing coating on the pool, we may need to remove it to ensure a strong chemical bond between the new finish and the original substrate. Many other companies face challenges at this stage, but our meticulous approach ensures a flawless outcome.

step 3

Mask pool deck

To ensure the deck remains protected, we meticulously mask it off using poly tape and 4 mil plastic. This thorough coverage safeguards the deck from any overspray during the process. We also ask our customers to assist by either removing patio furniture entirely or consolidating it into a designated area. This not only provides us with the necessary space to work efficiently but also helps protect the items from overspray. Your cooperation in this step allows us to maintain a safe and clean working environment while protecting your property.

Next, we meticulously wipe down the entire pool surface with acetone to remove any impurities or contaminants that may have settled. This step is crucial for ensuring a clean and smooth application area. Following this, we spray the pool with a top-tier marine-grade gelcoat, enhanced with specific additives we’ve carefully selected to maximize the gelcoat’s hardness and durability. These enhancements allow the gelcoat to reach its full potential, providing a robust and long-lasting finish. Our attention to detail in this process guarantees a pristine and resilient surface for your pool, ensuring it remains beautiful and functional for years to come.

step 5

apply pebble finish

Next, we apply our signature pebble-like finish, which consists of multi-color gelcoat bursts in a dot pattern. This innovative technique creates a textured, non-porous, and rock-hard surface that not only enhances the pool’s aesthetic but also effectively conceals any blemishes or imperfections. This unique finish manipulates the water’s appearance, resulting in a vibrant blue hue that rivals the stunning waters of the Caribbean, adding a breathtaking and inviting look to your pool.

We then take the time to thoroughly clean the area, ensuring every bit of debris and material is removed. Our team hauls away all trash and leftover materials, leaving your pool area immaculate and ready for you to enjoy. This step ensures that your space is as pristine as the newly finished pool itself, allowing you to fully appreciate the transformation.

step 7

fill the pool with water

Twenty-four hours after the gel coat application, the homeowner can begin filling the pool with water. As the pool fills, it’s essential to monitor and adjust the water quality to ensure a balanced and safe swimming environment. This involves testing and regulating the pH levels, alkalinity, and chlorine to achieve the ideal chemical balance. Proper water balancing not only ensures a pleasant swimming experience but also helps maintain the longevity and appearance of the newly applied gel coat.
