Pool Renovation

Projected Renovation Budget:  $66,000
Actual Renovation Amount:  $63,065
Difference:  $2,935

 

When the pool was opened to get prepared for the 2026 Summer Season, major damage in the pool surface was discovered.  A major crack was discovered that stretched over 10 ft. in multiple directions.

Having made multiple plaster patches over the past few years, the Board discovered that the replastering of the pool was approximately 5 years overdue.  In consultation with the pool management company, the cost of repair of the crack in the pool would cost, in total, around $8,500.  Given the state of the plaster, the board decided that the most prudent thing was to invest in the overdue replastering of the entire pool.

Formal Bids were secured from our current pool management company, Sears Pool, and Original7 Pools.  We also received an informal indication from Sweetwater Pools, however given the timing needed to move forward in order to open the pool in time, the board chose to review the two formal bids and selected Original7 for the work.

Bids:

Company Bid Total
Sears Pool $63,587.38
Original7 $54,831
Sweetwater $65,000*

 

While completing the work, Original7 determined that nearly 20% of the pool had delaminated and this was visually confirmed by both Brett Johnson, President, and Steve Hurst, Property Manager in their daily visual inspections of the work.  Contractually, any delamination over 10% required an overage charge.  Original7 provided for 10% delamination in their quote while Sears Pool would only cover 100 Sq. Ft. of Delamination, so this meant that by choosing Original7, the club was able to save additional money based on those contractual terms.

The Waterline Tile of the pool was also replaced due to the age of the tile and inability to replace damaged tiles as the club did not have any additional tiles that matched available.

The work was completed in early May, allowing for the pool to be opened in time for the Summer Season.
