Alan Smith Pool Plastering & Remodeling

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

About us

Over 40,000 Families Have Trusted Alan Smith Pool Plastering Since 1981. We Always Insist On Doing Every Job Right. *No cheap substandard 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 $85,000-$110,000 in household income, and spends between $10,000-$20,000 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 you 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 & we have since 1981. We DO NOT clean pools, nor do we REPAIR Portable Hot Tubs. Call us to discuss your project.

Alan Smith is an Exceptional family pool building company. I had a 35 year old pool totally remodeled, including all new plumbing, electrical, plaster ( New plaster product called Wet Edge ), all new equipment / heater, pumps, etc. I recommend Alan Smith as a contractor with great integrity, and I'm sure you will be happy if you select Alan Smith as your contractor.

The team was great. Notified every morning by email who would be there and their scope of work. Everyone was courteous and respectful of my home (like double checking the pool gate was closed when they left for lunch or every day, I have a little one, very important!). They kept things clean as they went along and did a final clean at the end. One of the crew noticed some material got on the RV in the driveway somehow and went back to his truck, grabbed a rag and cleaned it up! Loved this company!!

It was very slow. Very very poor com, the man who in charge with the project, never showed when he said he would be there. He didn't communicate, we had to call him , we called Alan Smith Pool Plastering & Construction three times and never returned my calls. It shouldn't take 3 mos for them to do it and the color that they put on the pool wasn't the color that i chose. The communication was absolutely horrid. They are obviously not interested in the work.
Description of Work: They replaced the plaster in the pool and Installed lights. It's a new pool finished(pebble tech). They had to do other things to do it, like taking out old plasters and replaced it with pebble tech.

Response from Alan Smith Pool Plastering & Remodeling
Thank you for taking the time to give us feedback. We take all input from clients very seriously. There were delays in this project due to unforeseen underground electrical issues that needed to be worked out before the pool could be plastered. Everything was resolved and completed per the contract. The customer selected a dark grey pebble. We are sorry you are unhappy with the pebble finish. We have a beautiful showroom with samples of all our pool finishes where customers can confirm their choices. Respectfully, Jeff Smith

I initially met with Mike who listened to my ideas and made some great suggestions for pool tiles and pool finishes that coordinated with my home style and surroundings. Shortly after I met with him, he emailed me a very detailed proposal. He made the product selection process easy for me by bringing multiple samples of pool finishes and tiles that helped me visualize the end project. My previous pool finish had worn away over time and I was looking for something more durable but gentle on the feet. My older plaster finish would cause sores on the feet of my children. We ended up going with a microfusion pool finish which is the smallest pebble available. This was important to me because I wanted the long term strength of pebble with a finer texture. I was alerted the day before the crews would arrive which was pleasantly surprising for a contractor. I was a little nervous about the demo process but my fears were allayed when they covered my entire pool with a tent like structure that contained all the debris. It wasn't as loud as I expected because they didn't use jack hammers to remove the plaster. Instead they used a High Pressure Power Washer to remove all the old flaking plaster. At the end of each day, every crew was diligent about cleaning up. The waterline pool and spa tile blended well with my existing coping and helped me achieve an organic look that complemented my garden and hardscape. I was intrigued and impressed watching the plaster crew as they seemingly brought my dated pool and spa to life. They started off by covering my new tile and existing decks with ample amount of plastic. They were very detailed and you could tell they took pride in their work. I wanted my pool to sparkle, so Mike recommended that I add abalone sea shell to the pool finish. I also wanted a very blue water color, so we ended up adding extra blue iridescent glass beads to the pebble pool finish. When the sun is out, my entire pool and spa glistens from the sunlight. The end result is a vibrant and inviting pool. If you are interested in working with a company that doesn't cut corners, keeps commitments, and cares about quality, then you should give this company a call.

The sales person, I think Bob? hope it's right name. came out promptly as scheduled. I showed him what I had on mind for upgrading equipment ( over 20 years old) repair & improvement. He asked if my equipment including the heater work. I replied yes. He advises no need to upgrade for now and wait for when having problems. There are some gaps on premier of the pool due to ground movement. The gaps can be repaired but will show color difference & be noticeable. The pebble tech surface still look good. Overall everything looks good. He suggests to wait until it gets worse and do it all together. I thought his suggestions were very honest, thoughtful for the customers. No doubt, I know who to call when we redo our pool. Thank you very much. It's nice to know a company like Allen Smith Pool & people work there are still around.

They did a great job with the pool re-plaster work; but, the sales rep exaggerated how quickly they could complete the project. I would recommend getting a project completion date in writing when the Agreement is signed.

I got updated plumbing and new coping, tile, plaster, slide. I upgraded my pump and got a new filter (previous one was leaking). They also put in a new light fixture with Patrick ensuring proper grounding. Property manger, Ray, did a fantastic job keeping all together and monitoring work quality and each step going forward. Ray is a good people person knowing how to explain things in a easy way for customers to understand. I could not have asked for a better PM. Bill (sales specialist) was very helpful with prices and and very knowledgeable explaining the specifics for all my questions. Jimmy and Raquel kept me informed with email notices as to when construction dates would occur. Catherine also very helpful with invoices and progress reports. Richard cleaned pool after and labeled everything for me. Everyone on the team did a great job! Very nice people in the company. I appreciate their quality and great customer service.
