Pool Surface Condition: Good $300

Surface #1 Surface #2

Dimensions Damaged Estimated Surface Age
15' by 45' 0-10% 15+ Years
Pool Surface Notes
The pool surface appears to have no pitting or any loose surfaces present, The surface is slightly abrasive and not as smooth or as new and will allow more organic matter to grow as a result of the slightly abrasive surface
Pool Surface Additional Notes

The surface is relatively smooth throughout there are some sections of wear and pitting however it is natural for a pool that's 15 years or older.

The shallow end steps are only dirty and can be cleaned with little or no chemical and brushing. This discoloration is from the surface on the steps having an agent added for a more abrasive texture to eliminate slipping when entering the pool.

Also around the main drains are pitting / missing surface and may eventually result in a potential water loss issue. Recommend re doing this area to prevent issues in the future. May not require draining (depending on the technician) and a relatively low cost fix ($100-300).

Overall this surface is considered a fiberglass plaster surface and in my opinion it is the absolute best surface a pool can have because it remains smooth its entire life.
