Choose your city
In California, we manage pool resurfacing projects considering the state's varied climate. Coastal areas like Los Angeles and San Francisco experience milder winters, allowing for more consistent work schedules. Inland areas, including Bakersfield, can have hotter summers which necessitate careful planning to avoid working in extreme temperatures. Our process involves draining the pool, preparing the surface by removing old material, and applying the new finish. We then refill the pool and balance its chemicals. Permitting varies by city and county; we handle this process to ensure compliance with local regulations before work begins. Our team assesses the existing pool structure and material to determine the best resurfacing approach for your specific needs and the home's location.
