Plaster specialists
A Palo Alto finish built to last, not just to pass.
In a city where homes hold value for generations, a pool finish should be done to last rather than to minimum standards.
We specialize in Palo Alto pool replastering: a complete chip-out, careful shell prep and our own proven best mix applied by hand, backed by a 5-year warranty.
New waterline tile can be set during the same drain, chosen to suit the house.
What a Palo Alto replaster includes.
Our Palo Alto replaster is the finish itself, plus waterline tile on request.
Drain and strip
The Palo Alto pool is drained and the old plaster removed.
Bond coat
Hollow spots cleared and the shell bonded before finishing.
House mix
Our proven plaster, troweled by hand in Palo Alto.
Finish choices
Regular plaster, quartz or pebble to suit Craftsman, Eichler or contemporary homes.
5-year warranty
Our plaster carries a 5-year warranty on every Palo Alto replaster.

Replastering across Palo Alto.
We replaster pools in Old Palo Alto, Crescent Park, Professorville and Midtown.
Palo Alto's mature trees drop leaves into pools, so a durable quartz or pebble finish is worth considering.
Palo Alto replastering questions
Would you recommend salt water for a Palo Alto pool?
Absolutely. Salt water is easier on eyes and skin and holds steadier chemistry, and it pairs well with a fresh Palo Alto plaster finish.
How long does a Palo Alto replaster take?
One to two weeks from drain to refill, then a 28-day startup for the Palo Alto finish.
Do you hold a license for Palo Alto replasters?
Yes — CSLB #1129581 — and each Palo Alto replaster is insured.
Can I finance a Palo Alto replaster?
Yes, through Lyon Financial, which specializes in pool loans for Palo Alto homeowners and others.
What's part of a Palo Alto replaster?
Drain, full chip-out, shell prep and bond coat, a hand-applied finish in our own mix, and the 28-day startup, with optional waterline tile and a 5-year warranty in Palo Alto.
