Services
Pool Plastering
Our professional plastering service restores pool surfaces using premium materials. We apply traditional extra white cement with crushed marble, creating smooth, durable finishes that last up to 15 years with proper maintenance. Each job includes site preparation, bond coating, and meticulous cleanup within 48 hours.
Blue Diamond Finish
This signature finish combines blue quartz granules with white cement for vibrant, long-lasting results. Hans' proprietary mixing process ensures consistent color quality. The finish maintains its brilliance through 10+ years with proper care, backed by our 10-year warranty on material bonding.
Pebble Finishes
Natural pebble finishes use ocean-tumbled stones for stain-resistant, slip-resistant surfaces. Available in multiple colors, this eco-friendly option lasts 20-25 years with proper maintenance. Each application creates a unique water feature that complements surrounding landscapes.
Tile Replacement
We professionally install and replace pool tile during plastering projects. Using diamond-blade saws ensures clean cuts without damaging existing surfaces. Our process protects tile lines while preparing the surface for new plaster applications.
Water Features
Custom water features like spas, waterfalls, and vanishing edges enhance pool aesthetics. Our team integrates these elements during remodeling, ensuring structural integrity and seamless design coordination with plastering and tiling work.
