Adams Pool Solutions, a leading pool renovation specialist serving the San Francisco Bay Area since 1953, emphasizes the importance of thorough surface preparation as the foundation for successful pool remodeling projects that stand the test of time.
With over 29,000 pools completed and approximately 1,200 projects undertaken annually, the Pleasanton-based company has identified inadequate surface preparation as the primary cause of premature pool finish failure. The company's specialized approach to Adams Pool Solutions pool surface preparation includes comprehensive hydro-jetting and complete removal of deteriorated plaster before any new surface application begins.

The pool renovation process requires meticulous attention to the underlying structure before any aesthetic improvements can be made. Proper preparation involves multiple critical steps, beginning with draining and thorough inspection of the existing surface. Hydro-jetting, which uses high-pressure water to strip away failed materials and contaminants, ensures optimal adhesion for new finishes. Complete removal of loose, hollow, or delaminated plaster prevents future bubbling, cracking, and premature wear that commonly plague inadequately prepared surfaces.
Skipping or rushing the preparation phase can lead to significant problems within just a few years of renovation. Common issues resulting from poor preparation include surface delamination, where new plaster separates from the substrate, creating hollow spots and eventual cracking. Calcium nodules and other mineral deposits can form beneath improperly prepared surfaces, causing unsightly bumps and discoloration. Additionally, inadequate preparation often results in shortened warranty coverage and the need for costly repairs far sooner than expected.
"The difference between a pool renovation that lasts five years versus one that lasts twenty years often comes down to the quality of surface preparation," said Ray Langford, Marketing Director at Adams Pool Solutions. "While it might be tempting to cut corners during the prep phase, our experience with thousands of pools has shown that investing time in proper preparation pays dividends in longevity and customer satisfaction. A properly prepared surface ensures better chemical balance, easier maintenance, and a finish that maintains its beauty for decades."
The company's state-of-the-art surface preparation process has evolved significantly over seven decades of operation. Modern techniques employed by the company's 340 employees include advanced diagnostic tools to identify hidden structural issues before they become major problems. This comprehensive approach to preparation has established the firm as the leading pool remodeling specialist in the region.
