We will assist you in drawing the dream vision of your Pflugerville pool every step of the way.
Select Materials for your Pflugerville TX Pool
There is a wide range of tile styles, looks and pricing. Much of this depends on the material chosen (glass, ceramic, porcelain, etc) and the manufacturer. We use a thin-set mortar & grout material – we use the appropriate materials for the type and size of tile you choose. Our energy is focused on ensuring the integrity of the installation and the lasting beauty of the tile.
Coping – Pflugerville Pool Remodeling
Coping allows you to customize the look of your Pflugerville pool. The perfect coping completes the border between your pool and decking or landscaping – it is a critical accent. There is a wide variety of materials available for coping installation. For your pool remodeling in Pflugerville, several items will dictate which material is best to use for each renovation situation: a) the thickness and width of the existing coping, b) the overall look you have in mind, and c) cost. In many cases flagstone coping is less expensive than limestone coping and is installed where a customer desires a more rugged, natural look. Limestone and travertine are used where modern, smooth lines will align with the shape of your Pflugerville pool.
Deck – Pflugerville Pool Remodeling
The deck design can transform your Pflugerville backyard appearance and create a wonderful entertainment area.
Are your decks in such bad shape that sections are falling away from the pool? If so, then pool remodeling should include upgrading your Pflugerville pool’s deck. Custom stonework, travertine, pavers, poured concrete, decorative concrete, stamped and colored concrete– we have your pool ideas covered!
Remodeling Pool Decking
Tile design and pool decking can be the backdrop for the entire pool entertainment space. Are you looking for a courtyard feel, a modern look, or a natural environment? Your decking pulls together your backyard feel. In Pflugerville, choose from flagstone, interlocking pavers, and many other options such as textured or stained concrete. Decking is a critical choice for the overall environmental feel you’re trying to achieve.
As a pool owner, you will typically spend more time on your Pflugerville pool deck than actually inside your swimming pool. During a Pflugerville pool remodel, it is important to choose a decorative concrete, stone, or wood pool deck that is attractive and provides a safe non-slip surface for entertaining and simply socializing.
Tile Decks
As part of your Pflugerville pool remodeling, there are many types of tile decks. Tile often does a great job replicating wood, stone, marble, or brick. Because tile is not difficult to install, you can make your existing deck larger if you have space. You can find different shapes and sizes from specialty dealers, but square is the most popular.
Paver Decks
Pavers are very popular for Pflugerville pool remodeling. Pavers come in a number of different sizes, colors, and shapes. Brick Pavers, Concrete Pavers, and Travertine Pavers are some of the most common Pflugerville pool remodeling deck pavers. In your Pflugerville Pool Remodel, Pavers can create a range of looks to suit any pool deck. Safety is one of the key features that pool deck pavers offer. Pool deck pavers have a high wear and tear resistance and have a non-slip surface that will last a long time.
Stone Decking in Pflugerville
Stone decking is available in many shapes, sizes, and colors. It is a wonderful method for adding a natural aesthetic to your yard. For Pool Remodeling in Pflugerville, stone decking is the most popular choice for homeowners who have designed a natural-looking swimming pool with boulders and cascading waterfalls. The stone finish pool deck resurfacing is done by embedding large stones, finely cut into a layer of concrete. This type of pool deck resurfacing is probably the best type of finish, as it not only looks good but has many advantages over the other methods of pool deck resurfacing. Another great advantage of this surface is that it provides natural friction – it is almost slip-proof.
Plaster – Pflugerville Pool Remodeling
Should I Re-Plaster?
For Pflugerville Pool Remodeling, there are three questions will help you make this important decision.
#1 Do you experience water loss in your Pflugerville pool?
Water loss can occur based on any number of problems. First, cracks in a Pflugerville swimming pool structure can show up through the plaster surface. Also, water can leak through many of the points around a pool (return inlets, light fixtures, etc). If your pool is losing water from somewhere other than plumbing, resurfacing may be a good solution combined with other work. For Pflugerville pools, we use the plaster manufacturers’ recommended product and procedure for preparation.
#2 Is your Pflugerville pool surface really rough?
As plaster gets older, or because of improper chemistry, its surface becomes rough by etching or begins scaling. In Pflugerville, our typical method of “start-up” (pool care for the first several weeks of plaster life) allows for a smooth-but-not-slick surface designed to add years of life to the plaster. It makes for a comfortable swim experience.
3# Do you like the current optics & look of your Pflugerville pool?
For your Pflugerville pool remodeling project, consider your pool an open canvas on which you can customize the look of your pool. We offer many aggregate finishes in a wide variety of attractive and resilient options that may suit your taste in style and color.
For concrete or gunite pools in Pflugerville, plaster is the most desirable finish. It comes in several forms and many color choices. When applied properly, and no underlying structural problems, plaster provides a barrier between the structure of the pool and the water in which you swim.
Our Pflugerville Pool Remodeling Process
Our Pflugerville pool remodeling team is committed to building you a quality pool that will bring you years of pleasure and add to the value of your home. We have created this rigorous pool remodeling process. We strive to be the most professional company in the industry.
Step 1 – Project Design & Proposal – Pflugerville
The first step in the remodeling process is an initial meeting between the client and one of our trained design technicians. During this meeting in your Pflugerville home, our designer will find out what you are looking for in the overall pool and landscape layout. All of our pools are designed specifically for each individual Pflugerville customer. The technician will then take a detailed survey of the proposed area to include your Pflugerville home and lot dimensions, positioning, building setbacks, location of utilities, and accessibility to the construction site. Within a few days, our design technician will have a fully prepared plan and proposed construction cost for the pool organized for you to review.
Step 2 – Approvals & Permits– Pflugerville
We will acquire the permit for the remodel of the pool and decking. Permits for electric and gas utility hook-ups shall be obtained by the person contracted to do said work. All plans must comply with Pflugerville and state building codes. We will call for all applicable inspections, including footer, plumbing, and electrical bonding.
Step 3 – Excavation & Demolition– Pflugerville (as needed)
For our Pflugerville pool remodels, we generally use small front end loaders in order to precisely trim back the pool walls and to provide added maneuverability within the pool and around the construction site.
Step 4 –Plumbing Stub-out & Steel – Pflugerville (as needed)
The Pflugerville pool shell is reinforced with Grade 60 #3 steel rebar, placed horizontally and vertically. The horizontal and vertical bars are placed 8″ on center to a depth of five feet. Rough plumbing is done immediately following steel installation. This entails the installation of skimmers, main drains, light niches, return line “stubs” and pre-plumbing of raised spas.
Step 5 – Gunite Installation – Pflugerville (as needed)
For Pflugerville pool remodels, the pool floor consists of concrete with a compressive strength of 4000 psi, and is a minimum thickness of six inches. The walls of the pool consist of a mixture of sand and cement (gunite) that is applied through a hose with highly pressurized air to achieve a compressive strength of 4000 psi because of its superior structural strength.
Step 6 – Coping & Tile – Pflugerville
At this stage of your Pflugerville pool remodel, you will choose a decorative tile for the pool. We have a large selection of different tiles for you to choose from. No matter what colors, textures and materials are being used for the project, we will have something to fit your taste.
Step 7 – Equipment Setup – Pflugerville
One of our Pflugerville experienced installers will come to the site and plumb in all of the filtration equipment for the pool. This includes water feature pumps and other optional equipment.
Step 8 – Gas & Electric – Pflugerville (as needed)
We are now ready for Electric & Gas. Electrical conduits for pool equipment power and pool lights should be run and ready. The breaker box at the location of the pool equipment should be installed and ready for the equipment to be set as well. Gas lines to the pool heater or heaters should also be run to the equipment location.
Step 9 – Deck Layout Finalization & Pour – Pflugerville
Your Pflugerville deck is a minimum of four inches thick and reinforced with steel rebar approximately 18” on center. For most pools, any stone or brick work should be completed before the decking is poured.
Step 10 – Site Cleanup – Pflugerville
Your pool remodel in Pflugerville is now almost complete. We will now remove all miscellaneous construction materials from the construction site and prepare the pool interior to be finished.
Step 11 – Finishing Pool – Pflugerville
The Pflugerville pool interior is coated with your choice of materials. Options include standard white finish, Pebble Tec finish, or one of the many Diamond-Brite brand coatings. Upon completion of the coating, we begin filling the pool with water. This is the final stage of construction!
Step 12 – Startup & Instruction – Pflugerville
Once your Pflugerville pool is full, a service technician will come out to your home to check the installation and start all pool and/or spa equipment. Once the equipment has been started up and the pool is operational, our service manager will set up a time to come to your Pflugerville home and show you maintenance operations. This includes everything you will need to know about routine maintenance on your amazing new pool!
