Pool plaster repair can enhance the appearance of your swimming pool and reseal it at the same time. No matter if you need one or both, you will need to decide if you want to complete this project on your own or hire a professional. It’s true that you can find some DIY “success stories” on the Web, but there are many compelling reasons to have an expert perform this work:
Insurance
A pool plaster repair company is insured. This coverage protects you if someone gets injured during the process. Considering that power tools, high-voltage electricity and massive amounts of water are involved, this is certainly possible. You won’t have to worry about paying anyone’s medical bills when you hire a reputable firm. We carry pool pop-out insurance as well due to the fact that ground water in FL is only 3ft down and with an empty pool shell, time is of the essence. The ground water can and will hydraulically push your pool out of the ground. A professional will be able to remove the hydrostatic plug inside the main drain to relieve this pressure and save you the monumental cost of your pool popping out.
Guarantee
Repair contractors typically guarantee their work. We provide a 1 year workmanship warranty as well as a 10 year manufacturer’s warranty on Marquis Quartz and a limited lifetime warranty on our Stonescape mini pebble. On the other hand, there’s no way to recover your time and money when a DIY project falls apart. The same goes for any damage to the pool.
Save Time
Professional pool plastering will save you a considerable amount of time. This is a lengthy task, especially when you take preparatory work into account. If you hire a contractor, you won’t need to spend time buying or renting tools like concrete mixers and air compressors. You can also avoid wasting vacation or sick time at work.
Save Energy
A plastering expert will allow you to save physical energy for other purposes. This is a tiring project that involves moving heavy tools around, transporting supplies to your home and performing several complex repair tasks. It won’t leave you with much energy for your job or that boating trip you wanted to take on the weekend.
Better Quality
Unless you worked for a pool plaster repair company in the past, a professional will perform higher quality work. Experienced contractors have re-plastered many different swimming pools, so they know the best techniques and materials to use. This results in a better-looking pool that’s less likely to deteriorate.
Less Construction Time
It won’t take as long for a contractor to complete this project. Plaster repair experts have the right tools and training to finish the job quickly. It only takes them a little more than five hours on average, according to HomeWyse. This means that you can start enjoying the water as soon as possible.
Less Clean Up
If you hire a professional, you won’t need to spend a lot of time cleaning up and dealing with the aftermath of re-plastering. A do-it-yourself project entails removing plaster remnants from your pool area and yard. You may also need to resell equipment or return it to a tool rental service.
Inspection Included
Most re-plastering companies inspect pool equipment and components when they visit a home. This can help you identify any repairs that need to be performed in the near future. It will give you peace of mind and help to ensure that your swimming pool continues to function reliably throughout the summer.
Less Risk
It’s easy to commit serious errors when you use pool plaster. If you don’t mix and apply it quickly enough, your project won’t be successful. You must also prepare the surface correctly. A plaster repair professional is less likely to make expensive and time-consuming mistakes during this process.
