Pool Surface Notes
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is approximately 25 years old and overall in good condition for its age, with normal wear seen. I do see some wear on the top step and some blemishes in the shallow end, but overall fairly nominal for the age of the pool. The pool top step wear could easily be filled in with minor epoxy to help prolong the remaining life of the plaster surface = that small blemish repair would likely be less than $100. The blemishes or stains seen in the shallow end are likely surface only from overhead oak and acorns that drop in the pool and will likely resolve over time. Recommend minor stain treatments to remove/confirm issue ($200 or less) if desiring immediate results.

Additional Tile Notes

Normal wear seen on waterline tile and rock work. Very minor calcium buildup scene mostly on waterline Tile.

There is a small gap, forming on the top jump rock and should be addressed as it is currently loose, which may be as simple as just removing the rock and filling in with some concrete less than $500 is likely.

Bottom Cleaner Additional Notes

The bottom cleaner is working very well. The bag is nearly full and it’s likely waited over and has fallen over when the cycle has turned off, but when it does turn on, it does function well, still I’d recommend minor updates likely to the rear float if needed and or tires - less than $85
