Surface Prep Work / Preparación de Superficie
The prep that decides whether a new finish lasts
A premium take on surface prep work / preparación de superficie
Most plaster failures start before the plaster goes on. If the old surface isn't cleaned, roughened, and repaired properly, the new coat can pop, flake, or pull away within a few seasons. Prep is its own service with us: draining, cleaning, removing loose or failing material, repairing cracks and hollow areas, and preparing the shell so the new finish bonds for the long run. We do it on our own remodels, and we do it for pools that need prep before another finish goes on.
This service is a good fit for homeowners and property managers who want a clean, professional result without juggling the details themselves. We handle the prep, the finish work, and the cleanup so the space is ready to enjoy when we're done.
Every project covers the essentials
- Drain and full clean of the pool shell
- Removal of loose, hollow, and failing plaster
- Crack and surface repairs before new finish
- Surface roughened and prepared for a strong bond
- Protection of tile, fittings, and deck during work
- Debris hauled away when the job is done
Four steps from first call to final walkthrough
Assess
We sound and inspect the surface to find every loose or hollow area before quoting.
Drain & Clean
The pool is drained and cleaned so we can see the true condition of the shell.
Remove & Repair
Failing material comes off, cracks and voids are repaired, and the surface is prepared to bond.
Ready for Finish
The shell is left clean and ready for new plaster, ours or another finish of your choice.
