Plaster – Kemah Pool Remodeling

Should I Re-Plaster?

For Kemah Pool Remodeling, there are three questions will help you make this important decision.

#1 Do you experience water loss or see areas delamination in your Kemah pool?

Water loss can occur based on any number of problems. First, cracks in a Kemah 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. Delamination is an industry term that simply means the plaster is separating from the surface beneath it. This occurs because of inadequate preparation prior to resurfacing. For Kemah pools, we use the plaster manufacturers’ recommended product and procedure for preparation, which usually protects against delamination

#2 Is your Kemah pool surface really rough?

As plaster get older, or because of improper chemistry, its surface becomes rough by scaling or etching. In Kemah, our typical method of “start-up” (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 also makes for a comfortable swim experience.

3# Do you like the current look of your Kemah pool?

For your Kemah pool remodeling project, consider your pool a new canvas on which you can customize the look of your pool. We offer many aggregate finishes in a wide variety of beautiful and resilient options that may suit your taste in color and style.

For gunite or concrete pools in Kemah, 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 Kemah Pool Remodeling Process

We’re proud of our product and our company delivery team. We strive to be the most professional company in the industry.

Step 1 – Project Design & Proposal – Kemah

The first step in the construction process is an initial meeting between the client and one of our trained design technicians. During this meeting in your Kemah home, our technician 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 Kemah customer. The technician will then take a detailed survey of the proposed area to include your Kemah 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 – Permits & Approvals – Kemah

We shall acquire the permit for the construction 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 Kemah and state building codes. We will call for all applicable inspections, including footer, plumbing, and electrical bonding.

Step 3 – Demolition & Excavation – Kemah (as needed)

In Kemah , we generally use small, skid-steer 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 – Steel & Plumbing Stub-out – Kemah (as needed)

The Kemah 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 main drains, skimmers, light niches, return line “stubs” and pre-plumbing of raised spas.

Step 5 – Gunite Application – Kemah (as needed)

In Kemah , 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, we provide a two year warranty on the pool shell after completion.

Step 6 – Tile & Coping – Kemah

At this stage of your Kemah pool remodel, you will be asked to choose a decorative tile for the pool. We have a significant 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 – Kemah

An Kemah experienced installer will come to the site and plumb in all of the filtration equipment for the pool, including water feature pumps and other optional equipment.

Step 8 – Electric & Gas – Kemah (as needed)

Your Kemah pool remodel is now ready for Electric & Gas. Electrical conduits for pool lights and for pool equipment power should be run. The breaker box at the location of the pool equipment should be installed and ready for the equipment to be set. Gas lines to the pool heater or heaters should also be run to the equipment location.

Step 9 – Deck Layout & Pour – Kemah

The deck is a minimum of four inches thick and reinforced with steel rebar approximately 18” on center. For most Kemah pools, any stone or brick work should be completed before the decking is poured.

Step 10 – Site Cleanup – Kemah

Your pool remodel in Kemah is now nearing completion. We will now remove all extraneous construction materials and waste from the construction site and prepare the pool interior to be finished.

Step 11 – Finish Pool – Kemah

The Kemah 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. When the coating is finished, we begin filling the pool with water. This should be the final stage of construction.

Step 12 – Startup & Instruction – Kemah

Once your Kemah 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 fully operational, our service manager will set up a time to come to your Kemah home and show you maintenance operations. This includes everything you will need to know about routine maintenance on the pool and some troubleshooting tips.
