Why am I so Critical of Fiberglass Pool Resurfacing Systems?

Friday, December 12th, 2008

Recently someone emailed me this question about my stance on fiberglassing pools…

I’ve been reviewing your website www.poolrestoration.com. Why are you so critical about fiberglass resurfacing of swimming pools?

Here was my reply…

I did fiberglass resurfacing about 20-years ago. I was the largest company in the tri-state area. I did large commercial pools with a chopper gun and hand laid residential pools. My company in 5 short years had to go out of business because of the many problems with this type of application, especially the gel-coat.

It took me years of personal money and my new construction business to try to satisfy these customers and keep my reputation with the BBB and in the pool industry.”
