<p>We just finished up doing a complete remodel of this persons backyard.  She really wanted to have some kind of water feature so we built her a garden spillway and installed 3 &#8211; 18&#8243; Sheer Descents with using her same brick coping that we were able to find for her.  We also installed brand new glass tile that is hard to see in these pictures but it really came out perfect.  She was thrilled beyond measures and is currently enjoying her new backyard oasis.  Here are some more pictures of the job:</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This time of year is always the busiest as everyone is getting ready for the swim season.  One of our most recent projects we just finished we did the whole nine yards.  We completely stripped the pool, added new tile, tile trim, flagstone coping, retopped the deck using our Spray Deck System, and of course replaster the pool in the gorgeous Mediterranean Luna Quartz finish.  </p>
<p>This is not out of the norm for us, but installing the largest mosiac we have ever installed was.  We installed a 8&#8242; x 11&#8242; custom made mermaid mosiac in the middle of the pool and it turned out great.  It took a full week to install but she turned out great and the owners love it.  They are very satisfied with all our work and the project turned out great.  Its always a good feeling to look back at the beginning and then see the finished project.  Check out a few pictures from the overall project. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well with the weather warming up and people getting excited about the upcoming summer, things are starting to get busy around here.  We at Pool Works are in the process of working on several complete backyard renovations.  From re-plastering your pool in the latest new plaster finish to adding new concrete and topping it with our deck coating system you really cant go wrong.</p>
<p>Check out the following testimonial of Mr. &amp; Mrs. Michael Giesecke&#8230;&#8230;..</p>
<p>&#8220;<em>I am pleased to share our experience in using Pool Works, for our complete pool renovation.  When my wife and I purchased our home, the pool was in an absolute horrible state (as a result of having been built in the 70’s).  The pool equipment had not been run for many months and the decking was cracked, unlevel and unattractive. We were less than thrilled when we decided to take on the daunting task of pool renovating, especially after hearing many horror stories from our friends regarding their experiences with other pool companies.</em></p>
<p><em>Pool Works came in and did a complete renovation to the pool and decking all within three weeks.  They removed the old decking and re-poured a new one that was 50% larger than the previous one; they completely re-plumbed the pool and installed new skimmers; added new drainage throughout the backyard; they retiled the pool; installed flagstone coping; replaced all of the pool equipment; raised the deep end of the pool to 5½ feet; added an extra bench and added a second drain to reduce the amount of suction. </em></p>
<p><em>Everyone at Pool Works treated us professionally and it was a pleasure to do business with them.  We had many questions throughout the entire process and they took the time to explain the pros and cons of each decision we had to make.  I would definitely, without hesitation, recommend Pool Works to anyone interested in having work done on their pool and or decking. I can not imagine having gone through this experience with anyone other pool company.&#8221;</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><em><a href="http://www.houstonpoolrenovations.com"><img class="size-full wp-image-21 aligncenter" title="Replaster Sign" src="http://www.houstonpoolrenovations.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/White-Yard-Sign.jpg" alt="" width="275" height="206" /></a><br />
