Pool Resurface & Remodel

This proposal covers a remodel of the pool at {{client_address}} — approximately {{pool_gallons}} gallons. Scope includes:

Drain & prep

• Drain pool via submersible pumps (to approved discharge)

• Pressure wash interior surfaces

• Install drain caps over hydrostatic valves to prevent pop-out during work

Demo

• Chip existing plaster to concrete shell (hammer or bush-hammer; full chip-out, not bond coat)

• Remove existing waterline tile

• Remove existing coping (if being replaced)

• Haul-off debris

Tile install

• Install {{tile_selection}} at waterline; thinset with modified acrylic

• Grout with color-matched sanded grout

• Seal grout

Coping install

• Install {{coping_selection}} coping on bond beam; mortar-set

• Caulk expansion joint between coping and deck with self-leveling pool caulk

• Miter and blend inside corners where visible

Interior resurface

• Install acid-etched bond coat on shell

• Install {{interior_finish}} — 3/8" thickness for plaster, 1/2" for pebble/aggregate

• Hand-trowel or exposed-aggregate finish per product

• Water pool immediately upon finish completion to begin startup cycle

Equipment pad (if in scope)

• Replace pump, filter, heater, or salt system per itemized line items

• Install new VSP (variable-speed pump) required by Energy Star in many states

Startup

• Fill pool from house hose or water-truck (trucked fill itemized if needed)

• Brush interior 2–3x daily during the first 30 days (plaster cure)

• Balance water chemistry

• Homeowner orientation on new plaster care (30-day brush schedule, startup chemistry)

Estimated duration: 2–4 weeks depending on weather and material lead times.

• **Week 1:** Drain, demo, tile and coping install

• **Week 2:** Interior finish, fill, startup

• **Weeks 3–4:** 30-day plaster cure (daily brushing required — by homeowner or service company)

Start date: {{start_date}}. Pool is out of service for 2–3 weeks.

Total contract price: {{total}}

• **Deposit: {{deposit}}** — signing

• **Demo complete: 30%**

• **Tile and coping complete: 25%**

• **Interior finish complete: 30%**

• **Final: remainder** — at fill, startup, and walkthrough

Draws invoiced at milestone; due within 5 business days.

Invoices are due upon receipt. Payments more than ten (10) calendar days past due accrue a service charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month on the unpaid balance, or the maximum rate permitted by law, whichever is less. {{contractor_name}} reserves the right to stop work and preserve lien rights if any progress payment is not received within five (5) business days of the due date. All retained mechanic's lien, stop notice, and bond rights under applicable state law are preserved.

The following items are specifically NOT included in the contract price and are the responsibility of {{client_name}} unless added by written Change Order:

• Permits, plan-review fees, and jurisdictional inspection fees unless explicitly itemized above

• Repair or remediation of pre-existing code violations discovered during the work

• Asbestos, lead paint, mold, or other hazardous material abatement

• Structural engineering, architectural drawings, or third-party design services

• Finish selections, fixtures, or appliances not listed in the itemized scope

• Work on concealed systems (electrical, plumbing, HVAC, framing) beyond the points of connection identified

• Landscaping restoration beyond returning disturbed areas to rough grade

• Post-completion cleaning beyond construction broom-clean

• Structural shell repair beyond minor crack patching (epoxy injection priced separately if needed)

• Deck replacement or deck repair

• Plumbing repair inside shell (pop-off returns, main drain grates priced separately unless itemized)

• Electrical upgrades to equipment pad (GFCI panel, bonding grid upgrade)

• Autofill replacement

• Pool heater if not specifically itemized

• Automation system (Pentair IntelliCenter, Jandy iAqualink) unless itemized

• Water-truck fill costs if homeowner cannot fill from hose (billed at $250–$600 per truckload)

This proposal is based on the following assumptions. If any assumption is incorrect, the contract price and schedule are subject to adjustment by Change Order:

• Site access is available during normal working hours (7am–5pm, Monday–Saturday)

• Adequate parking is available within 100 feet of the work area

• Electrical power and potable water are available on-site at no cost to contractor

• Existing structural elements, waste lines, water supply, and electrical service are in serviceable condition unless noted

• {{client_name}} will remove personal property, artwork, and valuables from the work area prior to start

• Work is based on a single mobilization; re-mobilization required due to delays outside contractor's control will be billed at current rates

• Pool shell is structurally sound; no major cracks or rebar exposure

• Existing pool plumbing is in serviceable condition

• {{client_name}} agrees to brush plaster daily for the first 30 days after startup (or hire a service to do so)

• Water table is below pool shell elevation (high water table requires dewatering, priced separately)

Any modification to the scope, specifications, materials, or schedule set forth in this agreement must be authorized in writing as a Change Order signed by both parties before the work is performed. Each Change Order will describe the modified scope, any adjustment to the contract price, and any impact on the schedule. Verbal instructions do not modify this agreement. Additional time and cost associated with unforeseen conditions — including but not limited to concealed rot, asbestos, mold, faulty prior installation, unmarked utilities, or code-required upgrades triggered by the work — will be documented as a Change Order and billed at the rates stated in this proposal or at {{contractor_name}}'s then-current published labor rates, whichever is in effect at the time the condition is discovered.

{{contractor_name}} warrants the workmanship of the installed work for a period of one (1) year from the date of substantial completion. Manufacturer warranties on materials and equipment pass through to {{client_name}} as provided by the manufacturer and are the exclusive source of any material warranty. This warranty does not cover normal wear, abuse, neglect, acts of God, subsequent work performed by others, damage from settlement or movement of the building, or modifications to the installed work performed without written consent. To make a warranty claim, {{client_name}} must notify {{contractor_name}} in writing within thirty (30) days of discovering the alleged defect and allow reasonable access to inspect and repair.

This proposal is valid for 30 days from the proposal date ({{proposal_date}}). Pricing is subject to change after that date due to material market fluctuations and scheduling availability. Acceptance requires signature below and receipt of the deposit amount stated in Payment Terms. Upon acceptance, this proposal, together with any attached specifications and subsequent written Change Orders, constitutes the complete agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior oral or written discussions.
