Additional Tile Notes

Around the entire pool and spa I am finding concrete crumbling in most corners of the pool. A gap between the top of the tile and pool deck. And several cracked areas.

These issues may be occurring here because the pool is moving during heavy rain storms while the concrete deck / border is not / It is lifting likely due mostly to saturated soils / type of souls present.

Regardless the cause there is issues in all corners of the pool decking and north east wall of pool indicating movement is occurring.

Refill gap between tile and concrete $1500+

Fix missing tile / issues inside skimmer / touch up spa spillover area ; $1000+
