This was a well-done explanatory video of the steps to resurface the pool. What brought me to dig into this video was to get information on how to do it. I live in Florida and when we purchased our home the pool was in really bad condition. As I was cleaning it one day I felt a soft spot under and to my surprise there was a hole where then one more and more and so the in the walls the plaster was coming off. I don't have money to pay a company but I consider myself very handy and have the time to do it. I might will bather you when getting in there with a couple questions if you don't mind. Thank you so much and I look forward to checking out more videos on your channel.

Hitting the aggregate with a pressure washer takes off most of the dust that covers the aggregate, once you acid wash it it will make the aggregate pop a little more. Once the pool is filled you brush everyday for 30 days and that will help take off even more of that dust layer from the finish. Keeping the pool acidic during the curing process will help as well.

They should’ve pressure washed the pool after they chipped everything out. The pressure wash was pointless since there was more dust created. Another thing is the shell of the pool should be dried with weed burner torches unless the sun dried it out. If the old plaster or gunite is wet or damp the bond kote won’t adhere as well. Also I can’t believe none of them are wearing PPE. I do this exact process for my job everyday and there is so much bad stuff in there Omgggg 🤢

Yeah, this takes about five days one day to drain it one day to chip out all of the tile and grout one day to pop all the bubbles and holes and tear out all the loose diamond Brite one day to put the tile on one day to let it dry and fix itself and then you need about 10 guys to come here and put the diamond Brite on and then you gotta fill it up which takes a day. It’s a whole process.

@@TomLeeman that seemed like a LOT of work for $7500 to be divided among all those guys. It was extremely labor intensive. I thought some of the applications were very sloppy (and dangerous) but cheap labor comes with a price. Always.

@@TomLeeman I imagine that was a very expensive project. Not many people know how to do this kind of work anymore. In 2014 I was quoted $20,000 for a pebble tech finish on my very ugly 17,000 gunite pool. My pool is empty and my paint is peeling. I was really looking for a way to strip it and refinish it
