Made an appointment for an estimate and the gentleman was on time and the office sent my estimate the next morning. We were welcomed to the office to choose tile, and were encouraged to take samples home (we did, it was helpful). The job was delayed by a day due to weather, and we were not informed, but the crew came on Saturday (the following day) and got started. The job was completed by late Tuesday. Both the tile crew and the plasterers were quick, skilled, and left no mess to clean up. The plaster looks and feels great! Also, Veronica followed up with us to be sure we were happy with the job. Not the cheapest estimate, but we feel the quality of the job and service were well worth the cost, which was reasonable.

The removals and re route were handled very quickly and crew cleaned up the site. Repair of the leaks took longer but company continued to follow through to complete the work to our satisfaction.

So far everything is fine. The whole job should take about two to three days, then they will have to come back and do some more work. They were really quick to respond to my request and they seem to be knowledgeable.

There were reprisals when we complained about problems. Do not care to share all those problems on line. Would prefer that Angie's send a representative to view the pictures and "quality" of workmanship in person.

The process started with calls to Veronica Rivas and a visit from her husband Julio who inspected my pool and provided a written estimate. Veronica was very polite and very responsive in answering my many questions and sending me the written estimates. Their workers were punctual and did the demolition and new plaster installation within the time estimate Veronica provided. They did a good job cleaning up when they were finished. The pool looks great and the water is now a shimmering blue! I had a least ten estimates done before I made my choice and I'm glad I selected Express Pool Plastering to perform this project!

It went very well. Express Pools was wonderful in helping us pick out the new tile and plaster for our pool. They about 15 samples to our house and let us have them for a long time so we could make our choice. They arrived on time each day and were very organized. The workers were fairly quiet, respectful, and cleaned up each day. The pool turned out beautifully and we are very pleased with the whole results. We would definitely recommend this company to others.

Very professional, easy to communicate with. Was more competitively priced than the other two Angie's List companies that quoted. Pool looks great. I am currently doing the chemical balancing and wall brushing per instructions. They were quick, cleaned up well and responsive to my little requests like rounding corners to make it easier to keep clean. Dealing with Marisol on the phone and email was efficient and easy. I highly recommend (unless my plaster unexpectedly falls off!)

They arrived when they said they would, Drained the pool in a flash. and were done chipping old plaster in one day. Hauled out the old plaster chips on the 2nd day. We left the coping and tile work as it was still in good shape. Plastered the pool on 3rd day, & replaced the fencing after completed. Cleaned up around the Job site. Very good experience. Would recommend them to others.

Express Pool remodeled my pool last October. They tore down the old white plaster and replaced by Stonescape plaster. They also replaced the brick coping with a travertine coping, did a re-plumbing and replacing electrical conduits. I hired another company to demolish old spray deck concrete and replaced by new stamped concrete. Express Pool coordinated well with the concrete company and the project went really well. I had questions on the plumbing and the owner addressed it promptly. Their price is definitely not the lowest but I trusted the good reviews they got from Angie?s list and I?m glad I did.

we called Air Tech of Houston to come out to trouble shoot our furnace because it was blowing cold air. We had had problems with our cooling system at the end of summer so we decided to replace the systems. Air Tech came right out as scheduled and replaced everything in one day. They were neat, courteous, and friendly. I would recommend them.

Received and written estimate within a week of phone call. After unwanted weather delays, EPP staff completed a three(3) day job which included a Saturday. Entire crew was professional and focused. Initial work order was problematic(mostly due to misunderstanding during estimate follow-up), but quickly rectified with phone call. Expected both the plaster start-up required service to be included in total job ($675 extra/outside vendor) and a larger Angie's List Discount. Never received final invoice receipt with zero balance (email) as promised.

These folks installed the pebble coat finish in our pool 3 or 4 years ago. I noticed a very small hairline crack on the seat to our spa. They came out, looked at it, fixed it, no questions no charge. They did a great job with the pool to begin with and are no hassle for follow up. Also if you are dithering between getting your pool replastered with plaster or pebble finish, we don't think you will ever regret the extra few dollars for the pebble finish. No sign of any wear, looks fantastic. We would do it again, just not sure we will need to.

I joined Angie's List for the purpose of finding a pool tile and replaster company. I found Express Pool Plaster to be the highest rated as well as the most reviewed. I was having difficulty finding a pool company in the middle of the summer who wasn't too busy. I called Express Pool and although they are on the other side of town from us, they had a guy that was in the neighborhood on another project and said he could come out and take a look within the hour. Julio showed up 10 minutes later and took the dimensions of my pool and ascertained what I wanted. The pool work is part of a larger backyard project I'm working on and he was able to suggest ways to proceede. I picked out a tile and called to schedule the date with Marisol. On the scheduled start date, a crew showed up at 8am sharp and by 9:30, the water from my pool was drained and they were busy removing the old tile. By noon, the old tile was gone and the pool was sprayed with a bond coat and prepped for the new tile and plaster. At 1pm the same day, another crew showed up and started installing the tile. Work was quick and it appears to be well installed. Although we got a stray rainshower around 3, which brought everything to a halt, the tile was complete by 6pm. The next morning at 8am sharp again, yet another crew showed up and started applying the plaster. They were done by 11am and started adding water. These are the guys to go to for pool revovation. Everyone involved was A+. Communication was easy and the phone is always answered. The crews that they sent out appeared to each have their own specialty and had the proper equipment. When they were finished, there were no signs that work had been done, other than the new pool. After this experience, I'm now a big fan of Angie's List and will use it for all my future service needs.

I cannot say enough good things about this company! If you have pool repair work that needs done and want to work with an honest and reliable company, Express Pools is the company for you! This is a family owned business that takes real pride in the work they do, as well they should! We had our pool completely redone and couldn't be happier with the result! Julio and Veronica were very helpful and patient with our indecision on such things as tile choices, etc, which we appreciated. Julio had suggestions on changes in the decking design which we incorporated and have worked very nicely. Every individual who came to work was knowledgeable about their part of the job and willing to explain anything we had questions about. I particularly appreciated the gentleman who did the tile work on our spa - he had wonderful suggestions and it turned out beautifully!
Description of Work: Tore out existing pool deck, brick coping, and tile. Repaired plumbing leaks. Replaced pool lighting system. Expanded spa wall.

The original work went well. We noticed some bumps on the bottom of the pool and called to report it a few months later. Gabriel came out and sanded them down. A few months later he came out to patch a couple more. Despite this we had more spots. We were concerned becasue this is what happened when the plaster started delaminating caused the original replaster. Gabriel told us not to worry, they didn't usually have problems but they would fix it. They just replastered our whole pool. It turns out that a layer of plaster under the last one was no longer bonded, causing hollow spots that they were able to fix. I am very pleasantly surprised that they would do this. Right from the very beginning to the completion of the work everything went very smoothly. They are very accomodating as far as schedule and they show up and perform when they say they will. We had a lot of great options to pick from and they answered all my questions.The pool looks beautiful. In their literature they mention that the surface will not be perfectly smooth - especially at night with the pool light on - as the surface is hand finished. Ours looks great. Although the work is messy we hardly even knew they were there by the condition of the yard when they were done. They came out several times to address some coping work around the pool that we asked to have done. They did much more than we asked but not the specific area of concern. I was a little frustrated and asked for this portion of the work to be refunded. I felt bad about that but they promptly refunded that portion of the bill. The order winner for us was the 2 year warranty.

Our 1983 home sold faster than we expected contingent on the pool being replastered, with no additional work on coping or ceramic tile. Our problem was that we needed the entire job completed and the pool refilled, up and running prior to the buyer's home inspection scheduled less than a week later, and we needed the price to be very affordable. We called Express after reviewing Angie's List. They had an estimator on our property the very next morning, and a bid in our inbox by mid-afternoon! Not only was the price extremely reasonable, but they were able to start the job that Saturday with only two days' notice. At 7:30AM Saturday, the prep crew arrived. They drained 22,000 gallons, performed all prep work, and cleaned up the entire job site in less than three hours. We could not believe how fast this crew worked, until we saw the pastering crew in action on Monday morning. Again, they arrived on site before 8AM, and left our pristinely plastered pool refilling by noon. The entire work site was left amazingly clean. The pool took 34 hours to refill running two garden hoses. When the buyer's inpectors arrived the next day just two hours after our pool service restarted the pump and treated the water, the pool looked absolutely beautiful. After 18 years in that house and many, many service/repair experiences, we can honestly report that Express Pool Plastering was one of the very best service/repair experiences we ever had. Great people, outstanding field crews, superior final product, all for a very reasonable price. We highly recommend Express Pool Plastering. And to our friends at Express: THANK YOU for being there when we needed you!
