Frequently Asked Questions

How often should I replaster my pool?

Traditional plaster lasts 7-12 years. Pebble finishes last 15-25 years. Signs you need replastering include rough texture, staining, and visible aggregate.

Is salt air bad for pools?

Salt air accelerates corrosion on metal components and can affect some finishes. Specify marine-grade equipment for coastal Orange County pools.
