"Z&Z Pool did a fantastic job on our pool and patio remodeling. They produced high quality workmanship and professional conduct throughout the entire project. They are a family-owned business so they stand behind their name. Jose and his crew always show up on time, efficiently performed their work, and always keep us informed at every stage of the project. Our pool looks beautiful with the new plaster and the large glossy tiles that reflect off the sunlight. They even created an infinity waterfall between the spa and the pool. Any concerns we have are promptly addressed. They are extremely responsive and go out of their way to ensure that everything is perfect. We highly recommend Z&Z Pool Plaster for all your pool and decking design or replaster need."

Our specialty is swimming pool remodels (swimming pool replaster, retile and recoping). Express Pool Plastering is an accredited business with the Greater Houston BBB and currently holds an A+ rating! All estimates are free. We are insured & family owned. We accept all major credit cards. Ask about angie's list discount.

"They did do plastering on my pool as well as a crack fix that I had back in October 2022. Although, plastering seems fine, when they start doing it, they did not chipped all the way my old plastering, just chipped around top tiles and then do the plastering on my old plastering. So, my pool lost some sq.ft for that, as well as lets see what will happen later on if the old plastering comes out whether it will affect top plastering. Plus, when they finished the job, I noticed that they did not plaster around my tiles at all. (I had spaces between tiles) and nicely requested after job was done to send me someone or send me some plastering so I can fill the spaces around tiles. They did not respond. I called them and finally talked to their boss and he told me he can send a guy to do plastering around tiles after acid start up finishes (takes a month). I agreed that - this is back in November 2022 - and then after couple weeks later I had to close my pool because of the leaves were falling. So, when I opened the pool back in March I called them to send me the someone to finish the promised filling crevices around tiles job, they asked $650. I repeatedly wrote emails that their boss promised me to this back in November because job was not completely finished, they still did not respond and never heard back from them (except, when they finished the plastering they put jet fitting onto my Polaris fitting, and called them to send someone for that as well and they did and fix the mistake they did but not for grout plastering). I had to clean my pool dirt that was coming from trees by myself manually because of the jet-Polaris mistake. And when they were doing plastering they knocked out one of my sprinklers and still did not come and fix it as their Boss said they would do. I noticed them they are also in BBB registered as well. If you ask me how do they get 5 stars from Google and they are in BBB that is mind boggling. I will copy this there as well. Plus, they do want to get their last half of the checks before the finishing the job shows how seriously unprofessional and not trusting the customer. Perhaps, this review would help them to fix the problems they face with customers hopefully."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

By tailoring materials and colors to match architectural styles.

Yes, with custom measurements ensuring perfect fit and function.

Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it’s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process.

If you live in an area where pool enclosures are expected, like in Florida, having one won't necessarily increase your home value. However, it's worth noting that in warm climates, a pool can add $11,600 to $95,000 to a home's value. 

On the other hand, if you're in an area where pool enclosures are not common, having one might set your home apart from the crowd. Depending on the appraiser, you may see an additional $25,000 to $27,000 or more for an enclosed, inground pool when it comes time to sell.

Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.
