SIGNS YOUR GUNITE POOL NEEDS RESURFACED

Stains – Stains typically don’t pose any serious problems. However, if you’re like a lot of our clients and want your gunite pool to be in pristine condition, there’s a good chance you want to take care of it right away.

Most gunite stains are caused by chemical or mineral inputs, leaves or debris, and algae.  If a stain continues to grow or if you can’t seem to clean it off your pool, it’s time to give us a call. We can restore your pool to its original beauty.

Texture – How does your pool surface feel on your feet? If it has lost that original feeling of smoothness, the surface of your pool is starting to deteriorate.  This could be due to unbalanced chemicals or a variety of other factors, but you need to bring in a professional to address both (1) the surface of the pool and (2) the root cause of the deterioration.

There isn’t a repair that’s too big for us. Minor repairs, installations, and renovations are what we’re here to do. A pool is a fantastic investment that will turn your home into an oasis during the summer. We make sure our clients are always satisfied with our services. Our company was built on the principles of efficiency, integrity, and honesty. Because of this, we will work hard to complete your vision.

Gunite-Pool-Renovation-Nassau-Long-Island-NY2GUNITE POOLS TILE AND COPING

When we say coping, we are talking about the tiles that line the edge of the pool. Tile and coping initially may seem like a small detail that homeowners ignore, but it’s essential. Tile and coping have three primary functions:

Prevents Cracking – Tiles are also practical. Age, water, and sunlight can cause cracks on the side of your pool. Repairs can be costly and time-consuming. Installing tiles is a one-time solution that will take care of any cracks.

Hides Scum Rings – Scum rings form when organic waste accumulates and builds upon the waterline. This makes your pool look poorly maintained and could be off-putting because it looks dirty. Oils, sun lotion, and animal byproducts increase the chances of developing scum rings. Tiles will help hide them.

Protects You – This is a very functional purpose of tiles. Tiles offer protection from the sun. Avoid walking on the hot floor, which could cause burns. Cool coping and tiles are a great solution to this.

In addition, they make your pool look even more beautiful. Gappsi has a great selection of patterns and sizes to choose from. Our tiles enhance your home’s aesthetic and are very affordable too.

Our pool renovations can help reinvigorate and refresh older-style gunite pools so they can be enjoyed for years to come. Don’t let cracking cement, deteriorating plaster, or pool tile falling off ruin your swimming pool.  Call Gappsi today and talk to one of our gunite pool specialists. We’ll come to your pool, give you a complete plan and estimate for your renovation project, then we’ll get the job done so you can spend more time swimming in your pool.

Gunite Pool Renovation In Glen Head Long Island NY

Gappsi completed a Gunite Pool Renovation in Glen Head NY. We renovated the pool and patio together. Gappsi’s team removed an Old Westchester coping and a random bluestone patio. We reinstalled G045 Blue Limestone selected from the Gappsi Natural Stone Collection.

The pool was completely remodeled with all new plumbing, skimmers, and jets. The tiles selected for the pool were porcelain 6-inch tiles installed in the water line in the pool. The customer chose G045 for the pool coping.  We installed it 2 inches thick throughout the pool and the spa area. The gunite pool coping has a rock face finish with tumbled with ceramic chips. This makes it very smooth to the touch. For the pool and the spa finish, we used onyx diamond bright, which is a very dark, almost black color plastic.

For the patio area, we installed G045 limestone which has variations of blue grays in a large format pattern selected from the Gappsi Stone Collection. The color of the pool gives the entire backyard a natural pond effect.  In addition, the landscaping created offered a natural look and feel. This is the latest gunite pool and patio renovation done by Gappsi in Nassau County, Long Island.

Marble Coping For Vinyl Pools & Spas

Marble-Coping-For Vinyl-Pools-&-Spas2Vinyl Liner Pool Installation

Marble Coping For Vinyl Pools & Spas is a popular type of pool and spa surface. Vinyl Pools are custom-made to fit your specific pool area.  Because they are pre-fabricated and installed relatively quickly, vinyl liner pools are usually less expensive to build and renovate than in-ground gunite pools with cement finishes. A typical vinyl liner replacement may take only a few hours with an experienced crew (not including water fill time), as opposed to days or weeks for a renovation and re-plaster.

Vinyl Liner Strengths And Weaknesses

  • Strengths

Liners are widely available, more affordable to install and replace, and can be installed quickly. They have benefits especially in colder climates, due to the lack of winter issues like calcite crystals. Even if a vinyl liner is damaged and faded during the winter, its surface is still smooth and therefore not abrasive to swimmers’ feet. Another benefit is that patterns and colors do not drive the price of a liner. You can choose from many patterns and colors without large differences in cost, unlike cementitious surfaces which can vary widely in price.

  • Weaknesses

Many would argue the biggest weakness of vinyl liner pools is their lack of customization. Concrete pools can be just about any shape and size, whereas liners are more limited in their shape and size. That all being said, technology continues to advance and we have been seeing more complex liner pools out there. Also, while you can get a plethora of patterns and colors, vinyl liners almost all are similar in feel and appearance…unlike a concrete pool which can have many textures and vibrant colors.

A metamorphic rock composed of recrystallized carbonate minerals, most commonly calcite or dolomite. Marble can have beautiful pattern movement within the stone and comes in a wide variety of colors from white to salmon to gray, blue, green, and black.

Regardless of your chosen pool design, deciding which natural stone pavers to use for your pool surrounding will make a very powerful statement about your taste, status, and success. Some factors to consider include appearance, durability, non-slip finish, environmental factors like weather conditions, and finally, sealant.

A Raised Spa that is elevated above the pool surface. A raised spa can add a dramatic focal point to a poolscape. A raised spa can double as a water feature if it is designed to permit spa water to cascade into the pool. Depending on the type of installation, the spa may or may not share the main pool’s circulating equipment. Raised perimeter-overflow spas overflow on all sides, creating a unique gravity-defying effect.

  • How Much Does an Outdoor Kitchen Cost?

An outdoor kitchen will add value to any home, and increase the enjoyment for your family and guests.  The cost will depend on factors, such as appliances chosen, materials, and size. It is important to also consider if the project requires electrical, plumbing, gas, or ventilation.  Outdoor kitchens have risen in popularity partly due to their functionality. It is the perfect additional livable space in the home where you can cook, eat, entertain and relax.

Many times, homeowners hire a contractor to build their outdoor kitchen, because they offered the lowest price. But the lowest price isn’t always the best way to go. It is not necessary to break the bank, but it is important that whomever you choose to work on your home, knows what they are doing, and is willing to stand by their work.

Marble-Coping-For Vinyl-Pools-&-Spas3Gappsi designed and installed this gorgeous backyard setting in Medford Suffolk County NY.  The design of the backyard started with the installation of the 20 x 40 vinyl liner swimming pool with concrete walls. The pool was designed to incorporate a raised spa that spills into the pool. The 8 x 8 raised spa is veneered with Silver Travertine and Coping G038 24×24 marble pavers.

The entire patio was paved with G043 marble pavers selected from the Gappsi stone collection. The Gappsi Stone Collection offers beautiful color variations of beige, browns, and whites. In addition, a sundeck with two fountain bubblers was installed so they can be enjoyed while in the pool.    

Outdoor Living By Gappsi

Included in the project surrounding the vinyl-lined pool Gappsi installed a very large patio.  The outdoor living space featured an L-shaped cooking island using all Delta appliances including a gas burner grill, storage cabinets, a gas burner, sink, and a Summit Refrigerator.  The home also featured a raised Azek Deck with steel cable railings to allow NOT BLOCK the view of the backyard pool area when sitting on the deck. The Cento wood-burning firepit was designed to include a stainless steel insert. 

Our customers are so happy with the finished design of their new outdoor backyard oasis. This is a great example and design idea brought to you by the design team at Gappsi.
