A Masterclass in Preservation: Smart Tech meets Classic Detail

For this project, our goal was to bring the pool’s mechanical systems into the 21st century while performing a delicate "surgical" resurfacing to preserve a beloved family feature.

  • Precision Craftsmanship: While most contractors would insist on replacing floor mosaics during a replaster, Flagship Pools has the expertise to work around them. We meticulously hand-prepped and plastered around the original Sailfish Mosaic, preserving this custom focal point while providing a crisp, new white plaster backdrop.

  • Tile Restoration: To maintain the pool’s classic aesthetic, we used professional abrasion blasting to deep-clean the existing waterline tile, removing years of buildup and sealing the grout to restore its original luster.

  • The Smart System Upgrade: We replaced the outdated equipment with a high-performance Jandy 1.85hp Variable Speed Pump. With the integrated IQPump01 Wi-Fi Controller, the homeowner now has total control over their pool from their smartphone, including automated freeze protection.

  • Optimized Sanitization: We installed a Jandy TruChlor™ Inline Chlorinator, specifically engineered to work with variable speed pumps for consistent, efficient water chemistry.

Senior Living Wellness Refresh: Safety & Longevity

For this community spa, we focused on a complete restoration that prioritized resident safety and long-term durability. By combining high-performance finishes with all-new stainless steel hardware, we brought this facility back to "Day One" standards.

  • The Surface: Noble Designer Series Pebble Plaster in Caribbean Blue. This vibrant finish offers a deep, inviting water color while providing a high-traction, slip-resistant surface for residents.

  • Safety Accents: We installed new porcelain tile accent strips along the outer edges of the steps and benches. These provide a high-contrast visual cue, essential for safe entry and exit in a senior living environment.

  • Hardware Overhaul: To eliminate rust stains and ensure structural integrity, we replaced the handrail with new, high-grade stainless steel equipment.

Modern Masterpiece: A Custom New Build

We designed and constructed this backyard oasis from the ground up, focusing on a high-contrast, "cool-toned" aesthetic. This project showcases how premium stone and advanced plaster finishes can turn a new pool into a permanent vacation spot.

  • The Interior:NPT Stonescape Mini plaster in Tahoe Blue creates a deep, vibrant water color, enhanced by glass accent beads that catch the light from every angle.

  • The Waterline: We installed 2" x 4" Regatta Blue porcelain tile, providing a sophisticated, modern "subway" profile that defines the pool’s perimeter with a rich, bold hue.

  • The Feature Wall:Diana Royal Split Face Marble adds a dramatic, three-dimensional texture to the raised beam, offering a regal backdrop to the entire pool.

  • The Perimeter:Silver Classic Travertine coping provides a sleek, modern edge that is naturally slip-resistant and stays cool underfoot.

  • The Surround: A custom stamped concrete deck provides the look of natural stone with the durability and low maintenance of professional masonry.

A sophisticated palette meets premium textures in this complete backyard transformation. We curated every material to create a seamless transition from the lounge deck to the water’s edge, focusing on a cool-toned, designer aesthetic.

  • Artisanal Collaboration: The Artistry in Mosaics Blue Blend waterline tile and accent tile. The accent tile along the steps and benches was custom-arranged based on the client's specific vision, ensuring a one-of-a-kind pattern that perfectly reflects their style.

  • Premium Perimeter: Custom Calcutta Gray sandblasted marble coping provides a velvet-soft, non-slip texture underfoot.

  • The Surface: NPT StoneScapes Mini Pebble plaster in Aqua Blue, with glass accent beads for a subtle, iridescent glow that catches the sunlight.

  • The Deck: A coordinated finish in Sherwin Williams Dust Blu ties the entire color story together for a cohesive, modern look.

  • The "Engine Room" Upgrade: We completely overhauled the equipment pad with Jandy equipment, including a high-efficiency variable speed pump, filter, and chlorinator. For a truly custom look, all plumbing was painted to match the system for a clean, professional aesthetic.

  • Modern Automation: To complete the transformation, we integrated a full automation system, giving the homeowner total control over her backyard sanctuary at the touch of a button.

Restoring the Sparkle: Deck & Feature Rejuvenation

Not every pool needs a full renovation to look incredible. Sometimes, a deep clean and a fresh coat of protection are all it takes to restore that "Day One" feeling.

  • Water Feature Restoration: We used professional abrasion blasting to safely and effectively remove years of mineral buildup and scaling from the stone water feature, revealing its natural color and texture.

  • Deck Resurfacing: To complete the transformation, we repainted the spray deck, providing a clean, uniform look that protects the concrete and feels great underfoot.

We revitalized this custom water feature by diagnosing and repairing long-standing internal plumbing issues. After replacing the faulty lines and optimizing water pressure, the feature now delivers a seamless, consistent flow that serves as the focal point of the backyard.

We moved away from traditional blues to create a rich, inviting backyard palette that feels like a natural extension of the home’s living space.

  • The Perimeter: Natural Sandstone coping provides an organic, textured edge that stays comfortable under the Texas sun.

  • The Detail:Artistry in Mosaics Aqua Blend tiles utilizing a mixed pattern add just the right amount of shimmer to the waterline, bridging the gap between the gray water and the warm stone.

  • The Deck: Finished in Sherwin Williams Double Latte, the deck provides a creamy, neutral canvas that pulls the entire earth-toned vision together.

Not every pool needs a total teardown to look brand new again. For this project, we focused on a high-impact restoration that combined fresh materials with expert preservation.

  • Classic White Plaster: A classic finish that delivers that "sparkling blue" water look.

  • Abrasion Blasting: We used specialized media blasting to safely strip away years of calcium buildup and stains from the water line tile and coping, revealing the original color underneath.

  • Deep Sealing: To lock in the results, we applied a professional-grade sealant to the coping, protecting it against future weathering and chemical wear.
