We thought we'd share how thrilled we are with the results of our swimming pool renovation by Sandstone Pool Service. After extensive research of a variety of plaster (resurface) only, pool remodel only and full service companies, we decided it would be best to use a local full-service pool company. Our logic was that we deal with one company who can handle anything that may need to be done, like water features, stonework, tiles, as well as experts regarding the pool equipment and cleaning. Albert at Sandstone was among the very first of several companies we met with, and he left us with a professional proposal. He was one of the few that followed up with us several times to make ensure we didn't have any questions left unanswered. After considering several different resurfacing options, we decided to go back with plaster since it served us so well for 18 years. It was an easy decision to have Sandstone do the job. As it turned out the day after our agreement was finalized, the stars aligned and Sandstone was able to get started quickly, instead of waiting a week or so. The next day a member of his team came by and quickly drained and prepped the pool for the new plaster. He worked very quickly and by the time he finished, our pool sure looked pretty scary! Since we had progress photos from when our pool was originally built, we thought it would be fun to take some more during this renovation. After a day or two, we got the call the pool was ready for the next step. The plastering team arrived and was in our backyard early in the day and began. The crew worked very quickly and efficiently. In just a few hours, we were refilling the pool! It looked every bit as gorgeous as it looked when it was new. The detailing of the plasterwork and the tile inlays look impeccable. There was virtually no trace the team or their equipment we even here once they left. The plastering team is a very talented and tidy group. Afterward, Albert made sure we were clear on the startup instructions (brushing twice daily, no automatic cleaner in the pool...). We couldn't be more thrilled with the job Sandstone Pool Service has done for us. Choosing Sandstone Pool Service was an excellent decision for us and we would not change a thing regarding our experience. read more
