Pool Surface Preparation & Coating Removal Start With the Right Foundation.
Professional resurfacing begins before the new finish is ever installed. Pool Tech Surfacing provides specialized pool surface preparation, coating removal, dustless blasting and hydroblasting for appropriate residential, builder, remodeling and commercial projects.
With more than 25 years of pool industry experience, our team evaluates the existing surface and uses the appropriate preparation process to get the pool ready for the next phase of renovation or resurfacing.
Serving Nashville, Middle Tennessee & select larger regional projects throughout the Southeast.
The Finish Is Only as Good as the Surface Beneath It
A new pool finish needs the right substrate beneath it. Existing paint, deteriorated plaster, failing coatings and other surface conditions can interfere with the next system if they are not properly evaluated and prepared.
Pool Tech Surfacing approaches preparation as its own critical phase of the project. Depending on the existing pool and material, the work may include coating removal, plaster removal, mechanical preparation, cleaning and other steps needed to create an appropriate surface for the next installation.

Dustless Blasting & Hydroblasting
Different surfaces require different preparation methods. Pool Tech Surfacing evaluates the existing material and project requirements before determining which process is appropriate.
Dustless Blasting
Dustless blasting can be used on appropriate projects to remove existing pool paint and coatings that must come off before the next resurfacing system is installed.
The goal is controlled removal of unsuitable material while preparing the underlying substrate for the next stage of work. Every pool is evaluated before the preparation method is selected.

Hydroblasting
Hydroblasting can be used on appropriate projects to remove existing pool plaster and prepare the substrate for renovation or a new finish system.
The process uses high-pressure water to perform specialized removal and preparation work without treating every pool as if it requires the same solution.
Ask About HydroblastingGood Resurfacing Starts Before the Finish
Preparation is about understanding what is already on the pool, removing unsuitable material where required and creating the right starting point for the next system.
Remove Unsuitable Material
Existing paint, coatings or deteriorated plaster may need to be removed before the next resurfacing system can be installed.
Expose the Real Substrate
Proper preparation helps reveal the underlying surface so its condition can be evaluated more accurately.
Prepare for the Next System
Different resurfacing systems have specific preparation requirements, making the substrate a critical part of installation.
Support Better Project Execution
A disciplined prep process gives homeowners, builders and contractors a cleaner starting point for the next phase of work.
