Pool Remodel in San Diego – Patrick & Lisa’s Transformation

Clean, modern, and ready for summer. See how we revived Patrick and Lisa’s pool from neglected to stunning.

Before & After: A Pool Comeback

Project Spotlight: Pool Remodel in San Diego

Patrick and Lisa’s backyard pool had fallen into disrepair. The surface was cracked and stained, the waterline tile outdated, and the water itself was murky and unusable. They wanted to enjoy their backyard again, and we were excited to help them bring it back to life.

The Problem

The pool surface was deteriorated, tiles were faded, and debris filled the water. The space was unusable and unsafe.

The Solution

We drained the pool, stripped the old plaster, installed fresh waterline tile, and applied a beautiful new plaster finish. By the end, the pool looked brand new—and Patrick and Lisa had their dream oasis back.

What This Project Meant

This wasn’t just a cosmetic update—it was about reviving a space that was once the heart of the home. Now, their backyard is a welcoming retreat for family, friends, and sunny days.

Behind the Build: Step-by-Step Pool Remodel

1. Pool Drained and Prepped

We drained the stagnant green water and cleared out years of buildup and debris to prepare for restoration.

2. Initial Surface Inspection

We identified major problem areas in the plaster and planned the scope of demolition and resurfacing.

3. Plaster and Tile Demolition

Our team used jackhammers and air tools to remove the old plaster and chipped tile down to a solid base.

4. Surface Cleaning and Detailing

We cleaned the shell thoroughly and removed remaining loose debris to ensure proper bonding of new material.

5. New Plaster Application Begins

The new white plaster was mixed and expertly applied by hand to achieve a smooth, durable finish.

6. Precision Troweling and Shaping

We shaped the steps and walls with care, smoothing out every surface and ensuring clean lines throughout.

7. Final Plaster Cured and Sealed

After curing, the pool was filled and balanced—now showcasing a gleaming surface with fresh tile accents.

8. Ready for Summer Fun

Patrick and Lisa’s pool is crystal clear, vibrant, and ready for pool parties, relaxing weekends, and summer memories.
