The project overall went well and we are very pleased with the outcome. It took about five working days, spread over weeks because the company was busy and had several jobs going on simultaneously, plus a rain day held things up at one point. They removed the old faded plaster walls and bottom of the pool, removed the decorative tile that went around the top of the pool walls, and split the pool's bottom drain into two drains. This is a safety code issue -- residential pools in my area can't have one drain, because it exerts too much suction and can trap a child, someone's hair, etc., so they split it into two drains, each with only half the suction power. Then they installed new pebbly-surface material on the walls and bottom, and new granite tiles around the top of the walls. The pebbly surface product is called and quot;Pearl Matrixand quot; and is manufactured by a company called Wet-Edge. It looks great, and we are pleased with the results. Two minor issues to report. One, they used our garden hose for various purposes during the project (which is fine), but it's rough duty for a thin little garden hose. In doing so they broke our hose nozzle and kinked the hose. Two, they did get a lot of pebbly dust all over our patio. Cleanup could've been a bit better. However, I am cutting them some slack because the crew was working in hot sun all day on the project. Pretty rough duty. We did not redo the concrete and quot;deckingand quot; or walkway around the pool, just the pool itself. We will do the surrounding concrete some other time (it will cost almost as much as the pool resurfacing did). I would use California's Gunite again and would recommend them.
