MAGIC MARCITE

First let me say that I got exactly what I paid for. The pool refinishing looks good. I would recommend this company with a few caveats. First, you are not getting a company called Magic Marcite. The company that did the my pool was Aaqua Pool Finishing, LLC. Secondly, If you are not planning to refinish your deck or pressure wash your screen enclosure, you had better ask them to cover everything with plastic sheeting. On my job they left a mess and my deck and screen enclosure were covered with white from the pressure blasting of the old finish and residue of the new. The mess left consisted of the old water return "eyes" , dirt dragged in from outside, old and new marcite, cigarette butts, etc.. Luckily, I had planned on refinishing my deck and pressure washing the screen enclosure anyway. One more thing, make sure you tell them not to leave any residue from clean up. On my job they threw the leftover marcite back in some bushes at the side of my property. I wouldn't have noticed, but I cut back the growth and there it was.

Dennis Clark from Magic Marcite gave a quote for refinishing the pool and applying new tile.
* Two men arrived the day before to put a pump in the pool to drain it.
* Gentleman arrived early in the morning to remove tile and place a tile board up for aligning the new tile that would be set. 
Note* The crew always arrived wearing Magic Marcite shirts and in Magic Marcite trucks.
* Next day, after tile was set, grout was applied.
* Another company came in and did the pavers around the top edge-bullnose- of the pool. M.M. doesn't install pavers.
* M.M. came out when pavers were installed to finish the interior of pool.
*Applied prep coat and pebble finish.
*Came back to do acid washing.
*Replaced jet covers with grey fittings to match pebble finish. (no extra charge)
*Cleaned up and filled pool.
Once pool was filled, Mr. Clark gave placed start up chemicals in pool which was also included in the price. Gave us a packet as to how to keep chemical levels, when to brush the pool and vacuum for the next 6 months. This was the biggest pain. I had to brush pool every day for thirty days. I had other pool companies tell me that if I had to do that it couldn't be a pebble finish. Not so. This is the best way for the pebble to cure to keep streaking at a minimum. I also had to go to pool store often to have pool water checked to keep it in balance. That was hard as it rained a lot over the summer and it is hot here in Florida. We did it though and aren't sorry for the extra time involved.
We were trying to get a sand look in the pebble and didn't want a pool tile that everyone else had so we did go with Verona's Tondela Blue. We just love it!
Yes we had to work with two different companies for the pool and the pavers, but it really wasn't that difficult as they both said they do this all the time. They worked around each others calendar nicely.

Called and made an appointment with Dennis Clarke He showed up on time and answered all of my questions about installing and care for a new pool surface. Even left a Start-up booklet for us with detailed instructions. I was surprised when he handed me the quote it was much less than I anticipated. The pool surface turned out excellent, very impressed with the work , quality of pool surface. The crew cleaned up after the were finished. A supervisor showed up twice at job site to make sure everything was going well with job.
