Alan Smith Pool Plastering & Remodeling

Pool and Spa Service, Plaster, Pool Sales Construction and Installation,

About us

There’s A Reason Over 35,000 Families Have Trusted Alan Smith Pool Plastering Since 1981 We Always Insist On Doing Every Job Exactly Right. *No cheap sub standard cements, aggregates or pigments in our pool finishes *No sub-contracted, unqualified & inexperienced plastering finishers(We only have an “A” team) *Every job is run by a team of experts and has a dedicated project manager. *No inflated pricing, all estimates come from a company price list. Quality work at a fair price. What a concept! Yes you have dozens-maybe even hundreds of options- for resurfacing and remodeling your pool. And the question we get all the time is “why should we go with Alan Smith Pool Plastering?” To be up front with you, we’re not the cheapest contractor. We’re also not the fastest. If you are looking for fast and cheap, head down to the Home Depot or Lowe’s or call around to some of our competitors. That being said, our work is not exclusively for the rich and famous either. In fact, our typical customer has a 15,000 gallon pool, makes between $75,000-$100,000 in household income, and spends between $5,000-$15,000 with us on their pool and spa renovation.(yes several choose to upgrade and remodel their entire backyard with pavers, patio covers, masonry and outdoor lighting) In other words, we cater to people who can afford to do the job right the first time. People who want the job to outlast their lifetime, and we don’t want to save a few dollars by using cheap materials and labor instead of quality products and an experienced work force. Here’s what your really need to know. Our pool surface warranty is 10 YEARS because once we resurface your pool it is NOT coming off since we use advanced pool prepping technology that creates a high strength bond. Most of our jobs are from past customer and referrals from friends, neighbors and family-they like us enough to come back. We do a really good job-and we have since 1981. We DO NOT clean pools. Call us to discuss your project.

Second experience with Alan Smith. Left poor rating based upon on first experience with them. Honestly, was not expecting anything from them—this was a year ago. Darren L reached out to me in response to my review—incredibly blown away. He made the job right and then some! He was super communicative, responsive, followed through, and did a great job!! Darren thank you!! Was not expecting this and to get everything addressed as you did made me very happy. If you choose AS—request Darren! He’s the man!!
Description of Work: Needed the work addressed or fixed from the first repair that was not done right. Darren followed up and made it right!

The team was excellent overall. I had to re-plaster one of my rental properties and Alan Smith Pools was our choice over several competitors. We picked them because of their long standing history of over 40 years experience and their 10-Year Warranty for Plaster. Once the project started they were professional from the sales team to each crew that came by along the way. Our superintendent was communicative and professional with us to keep the job rolling. To this day the plaster still looks like it was finished last week and it's been over a year. We can't thank them enough for the job well done.
Description of Work: Alan Smith Pools removed the three coats of fiberglass that was on the interior of the pool, then hydro blasted the old plaster finish that was underneath. We then had them install White Quartz finish with a Microglass finish.

Excellent service. Alan Smith continues to earn our loyalty. Our HOA had a pool with severe copper deposits/staining caused by water chemistry problems. Customer service set us up with Darren, who diagnosed the problem and recommended an acid wash, buff and MicroGlass treatment. Darren and his team were easy to work with and the job was done on time, on budget and the pool looks better than new. Excellent work!

Rarely am I moved enough to write a review about my personal experience with a company….. this is the exception and for compelling reasons. Over eight years ago, my husband and I hired Allen Smith Pools to resurface our pool and spa, install new water line and other tiles and additional miscellaneous work to completely rehab our then 18 year old pool. Their finish is warranted for 10 years. Recently, our spa developed a rather significant leak which was determined to be coming through a crack in the pebble aggregate finish installed 8 years ago. ASPs came out and epoxy patched the leak which successfully ended the water loss but was cosmetically unacceptable and which did not determine the cause of the crack. This past week, large crews, trucks, equipment and materials showed up at our home for many successive days and nearly the entire spa was demolished and rebuilt, including rebar tied in, plumbing fixed, new pebble finish (perfect match to 8 year old pool). During that process, it was determined that the crack was caused by sub-standard ORIGINAL construction practices. DESPITE THE CAUSE OF THE LEAK BEING DUE TO ORIGINAL CONSTRUCTION DEFICIENCIES, 18 YEARS before ASPs stepped foot on our property and by a different contractor, ASPs stood behind their warranty and fixed EVERYTHING, including, at no cost to us, replacing upwards of 30 tiles which were cracked and which had nothing to do with the spa finish crack. Rick Specht and Dario and Darren all worked together to solve this problem and ensure the warranty was honored. How often in today’s world of “bottom line” business does a company just do the right thing and then go above and beyond to boot? If any homeowner needs ANY pool or spa work done, cash a winning ticket and contact Alan Smith Pools. I’m still pinching myself.

They did a great job. Our contractor was pushing mini pebble, we wanted plaster with quartz. Alan Smith was able to finish our job for us where our contractor fell through. Great communication and we love the color. Also had an option to add abalone. Did not do but would have looked great. They have so many options to choose from.

I would receive simple responses to my concerns during the project but the in action of the solution never was simple. Every aspect of the job was delayed. I was told 3-4 weeks to completion. After 3.5 months I asked for my backyard back & they can finish in the winter. It would go WEEKS without any work being done nor updates. Billing was consistently inaccurate. I would be billed for things that were not ordered. Sub-contractors did not have accurate information on what WAS in the original contract. If I did not double check, certain things would not have been left out but and I was being billed for (ie copper wiring underneath decking). There seemed to be little effort in getting things done properly the first time around. Many aspects of the remodel had to be redone or touched up by the company's own recommendation. Sub-contractors caused significant damage to pre-existing turf. I was REIMBURSED half 6 months after having to find & pay for repairs with another specialty company.

Alan Smith’s Pools did an excellent job. We had challenging structural issues, including the need for a complete spa wall replacement. The engineers knew exactly what to do. The result is amazing. My wife loves the blue pebble is finish. It truly looks like a brand new pool

As of right now I would suggest looking at other pool companies. Our pool project has not been organized and the promised schedule of completion will not be met. The deadline is so important and stressed to ASP multiple times. I'm really hoping they turn things around and step up and deliver with their "NEW" timeline. Hoping to share a happy outcome and nice photos but at this point I would not recommend.

We had our old 1969 style pool redone by Alan Smith Pools. We requested quotes from 3 companies and went with Alan Smith. Our sales rep - Chris - was the best. He came over when he said he would and he met us at the showroom to help pick out tile and go over the different types of plaster finishes and copings. There were several teams that came to our house to remove the old pool, install new plumbing, install a new Baja Shelf, do the coping and plastering and tile installation. Everyone on the teams were friendly and got along with our dogs. They cleaned up after themselves and did a great job. We received many comments from our friends and family this summer about how wonderful the pool looks. We love the new Baja Shelf. When a friend decided that he saw a rust spot in our pool and tried to fix it, he bleached out the pebble tech leaving an obvious white spot. Alan Smith Pools sent an employee over, no charge, and fixed the bleached out area. We didn't even have to drain the pool!

Quoted by three contractors for replastering. Alam Smith was the most professional contractor I have used so far. There were no surprises throughout the entire process. The sale person was knowledgeable, professional and provided advice based on steps within the process. We actually upgraded a couple steps/installations because we trusted in the process and people. I absolutely believe you get what you pay for and the quality of work was excellent! Since they have been around for a while, I know my warranty will stick.

Excellent, prompt service with attention to detail by Patrick Jackson who was the project manager for prior major reconstruction and conversion of spa valves and associated controls. Note that we also converted the pool to salt water and added pebbletec on another occasion, again with AlanSmith and his staff. We also purchaseda new pool filter from company recommended by Patrick Jackson. We highly recommend Alan Smith Pool Remodeling.
