BUILDER AND HOMEOWNER PARTNERSHIPS
Your New Pool Deserves a Proper Start
We handle the full 28-day plaster startup — following National Plasterers Council guidelines to the letter — so builders can move on and homeowners can relax.
A new plaster finish is only as good as its startup.
That first month sets the tone for everything — the look, the feel, the longevity of your pool's interior. Rush it or skip steps, and you're looking at staining, discoloration, scaling, or worse down the road.
We follow the National Plasterers Council (NPC) startup guidelines because they're the gold standard. It's 28 days of precise water chemistry, consistent brushing, and careful monitoring. It's not glamorous work, but it's the kind of detail that separates a pool that looks great on day one from a pool that still looks great on year ten.
Why This Matters
What Are NPC Guidelines?
The National Plasterers Council developed a standardized startup procedure to ensure new pool plaster cures correctly and maintains its finish. Their process covers everything from initial fill water quality and chemical balancing to brushing frequency and filtration requirements. It's the industry benchmark — and it's what most plaster warranties require.
