Purchased a home a few years ago which was my first with a pool. The home was completely gutted and remodeled a couple years back but the pool was largely left untouched. Aside from relatively new plumbing and piping, it’s not a stretch to think the pool itself is all original from 30+ years ago. It looks great from afar but upon closer inspection, it’s hurting. Big time. Small cracks everywhere in the plaster which, combined with the seemingly never-ending pollen, makes it nearly impossible to keep it looking clean for more than a few days at best. The Polaris can’t get to the higher walls and cracks which are always full of dirt and compounds on itself. The pool guy can barely keep up.
I knew when I bought the house the pool would have to be redone sooner rather than later and I can’t imagine going more than another a year or so without doing it. But, I don’t even know where to begin? It’s a large pool (16k +/- gallons if I had to guess?), all plaster aside from the tile edges. I’d love to do a tile throughout but given the cost savings, I may stick with re-tiling of the perimeter and a new plaster.
Generally speaking, what does something like this even cost? Given everything which has occurred in the past few months am I better off investing in one of the super high-end Polaris’ or Dolphins to hold me over until things slow down next year or does it look like this may go on indefinitely? Are companies even doing this now or are they too busy with the big six figure construction jobs?
Help me, I’m dumb. And I have no idea what I’m doing
@mchookem looks like you just went through something similar?
