Services
Pool Replastering
Restore your pool's appearance and structural integrity with premium materials like Pebble-Tec, glass-infused pebble, or color plaster. Our process removes worn surfaces and applies durable finishes that enhance aesthetics while preventing water loss. Ideal for addressing cracks, discoloration, and rough textures caused by chemical exposure or environmental factors.
Spa Installation
Elevate relaxation with custom spa integrations featuring hydrotherapy jets and energy-efficient systems. We design seamless transitions between pools and spas, incorporating modern aesthetics and therapeutic elements. Enhances property value while providing year-round wellness benefits through temperature-controlled water therapy.
Structural Crack Repair
Specialized epoxy injection solutions for expansive soil-related damage in Palos Verdes. Our method addresses cracks in pool shells, decks, and coping caused by seasonal soil movement. Proven techniques minimize future water loss risks while maintaining structural integrity through non-invasive, high-success-rate procedures.
Leak Detection
Advanced diagnostic tools identify plumbing leaks in pools constructed before 1980 using copper piping. We pinpoint issues causing excessive water loss exceeding 1.5 inches weekly, addressing common problems like skimmer line corrosion indicated by copper sulfate stains. Prevents further structural damage through targeted repairs.
Deck Renovation
Modernize pool surroundings with new coping, tile replacement, and deck resurfacing. Our designs incorporate contemporary materials and safety features like anti-slip surfaces while addressing wear from chemical exposure. Transforms aging spaces into cohesive, functional entertainment areas aligned with current design trends.
