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The Smart System Upgrade: We replaced the outdated equipment with a high-performance Jandy 1.85hp Variable Speed Pump.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.
Coastal Elegance: A Study in Blue & Gray
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.
Restoring Flow and Function to this Friendswood backyard water feature
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.
Earth-Toned Elegance: A Warm Transformation
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 Surface:QuartzScapes in French Gray creates a deep, sophisticated water color that shifts beautifully with the sunlight.
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.
Commercial-Grade Standards, Residential Beauty for this Friendswood Home Owners Association Pool

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.
