Quartz finish resurfacing
Failed quartz and hollow coping off, smooth pebble on.

Pool painting · Tujunga
One of our older documented painting jobs. The interior was repainted in a deep blue epoxy and the cracked pebble surround was repaired before anything was coated.
An old project, and a useful one: it shows how long painting has been part of what we do.
Pool painting is mostly preparation
This was not a matter of rolling paint over an old pool. The existing surface and the pebble surround needed work first — cracks cut out and repaired, gaps sealed, and the failed sections of surround taken back to something solid.
The interior was then finished in a deep blue epoxy. It gives a strong, clean tone without pretending to be anything other than paint, and the deck was coated at the same time so the whole area matched.
Jobs like this are worth comparing painters on, because the finished color is the smallest part. What happens before the tin is opened — the repairs, the cleaning, the etching, the neutralising, the drying — is what decides whether it holds for six years or lifts in eight months.

Tujunga, Sunland & the Foothills
We prepare, repair and paint existing concrete pools — including older painted pools that need stripping and doing properly rather than another coat over the last one.
If your pool paint is chalking, peeling or simply looks tired, we will look at the existing surface and tell you what preparation it needs before repainting — and whether repainting is the right call at all.

Pool painting · Tujunga
An older concrete pool finished in 2009. The pebble surround was cracked, lifted and missing in places, so it was cut back and repaired before any coating went on.
A strong, clean blue interior that does not pretend to be anything other than paint, on a surround that was repaired first rather than coated over.
This week on the job
Short clips from real visits. Nothing staged, nothing bought from a stock library.
Not if you want it to hold. The existing surface and the surround needed work first — cracks cut out and repaired, gaps sealed, failed sections taken back to something solid — before the epoxy went on.
What happens before the tin is opened: the repairs, the cleaning, the etching, the neutralising and the drying. That is the difference between holding for six years and lifting in eight months.
Because the job was finished in 2009 and the photographs were never shot as advertising. They are kept at the size they exist at. They are a record, not a brochure.
