Concrete and stone surface preparation — pool restoration work
Strip, Prep, Resurface

Pool Paint Off.
Plaster-Ready Surface.

Whether you're repainting a chlorinated rubber pool, replastering a worn-out gunite shell, prepping a concrete pool deck for new coating, or cleaning calcium-stained tile lines — dustless blasting handles it without the cleanup nightmare of traditional sandblasting.

Water-suppressed media stays contained inside the pool shell, debris doesn't drift onto the deck or into your landscaping, and adjacent tile and coping can be masked off and protected during the work. The result is a profiled, clean substrate ready for whatever coating or surface treatment comes next.

Spring 2026 update — Memorial Day countdown: Memorial Day is Monday, May 25, 2026. The realistic last-call window for a Memorial Day-ready pool is roughly May 5–10 to start the strip, leaving 3–5 days for your paint or plaster crew to apply and cure. If you're outside that window, late May/June bookings are still strong for delayed openings, mid-season refreshes, and pre-Fourth-of-July turnarounds. Send Kevin a photo today and we'll give you a straight-up answer on what's possible.

Coordinate Crew

Why Pool Pros Pick PBS

Beats Pressure Wash
and Hand-Sanding.

Pool prep has specific challenges. Here's why dustless blasting handles them better than the alternatives.

Pressure Wash & Hand-Sanding

  • Pressure washing leaves embedded paint and coating behind
  • Hand-sanding takes days and produces uneven profile
  • Traditional sandblasting creates dust clouds — bad for pool equipment
  • Chemical strippers leave residue — bad for new coating adhesion
  • Long timelines mean missed reopening windows

Dustless Blasting

  • Goes through coatings, paint, and old plaster in a single pass
  • Uniform anchor profile for new paint or plaster adhesion
  • Water-suppressed — debris contained inside the pool shell
  • No chemicals — clean substrate ready for new coating immediately
  • Fast turnaround — most pools stripped in 1–2 days
Pool Surface Prep FAQ

Common Questions.
Real Answers.

Can you still get my pool ready before Memorial Day 2026?
Memorial Day 2026 is Monday, May 25 — and yes, late-window pool prep is still possible if you move now. The honest math: most pool prep jobs take 1–2 days for the strip, plus 3–5 days for your paint or plaster crew to apply and cure the new coating. That means May 5–10 is the realistic last call to lock in a Memorial Day-ready timeline. Send Kevin a photo today and we'll give you a straight answer on whether your specific pool can hit the deadline. If not, we'll schedule the next-best window so you're swimming as soon as possible.
Can you strip old pool paint?
Yes — pool paint stripping is one of the cleanest applications of dustless blasting. Old chlorinated rubber, epoxy, and acrylic pool paints all come off cleanly. The water-suppressed process keeps debris contained inside the pool shell, and the result is a profiled concrete or plaster surface ready for repaint, replaster, or resurfacing.
Do you prep concrete pool decks?
Yes. Pool decks accumulate paint, sealer, sunscreen residue, and weathering. We strip the deck back to fresh concrete with a profile that's ready for stain, sealer, or new coating. Adjacent pool tile and coping can be masked off and protected during deck work.
When is the best time to schedule pool prep?
Late winter through early spring is ideal — typically February through April in Nebraska. This timing lets you complete the strip, repaint or replaster, and have the pool ready for opening by Memorial Day. Schedules fill up quickly in this window. Late fall (October–November) is the second-best window for off-season prep. If you missed the Feb–April window, late May and June are still workable for a delayed-open or mid-season refresh — just expect a couple weeks of pool downtime.
Will dustless blasting damage my pool plaster?
No — adjustable pressure means we can dial in the right intensity for plaster, gunite, or concrete pool surfaces. We test on an inconspicuous area first to confirm the right approach. Worn-out plaster is typically being replaced anyway, so the goal is removing the old surface coating cleanly without damaging the underlying shell.
Do you work with pool installers and contractors?
Yes — pool installers, plaster crews, and resurfacing contractors are a core part of our pool work. We coordinate timing with your crew so the strip-to-recoating handoff is clean. For ongoing relationships, we can establish standing accounts with priority scheduling during peak season.
What about tile lines and grout cleanup?
Yes. Calcium buildup, mineral deposits, and discoloration on pool tile and grout can be cleaned with calibrated dustless blasting. The water-suppressed process is gentler than traditional sandblasting on grout joints and ceramic tile faces. We dial pressure carefully to clean without damaging the tile finish or eroding the grout.
