Pool renovation contractors need surface, equipment, and plumbing documentation before and after work. Here's how to document pool renovations properly.

1 min readBy TimeFotos

Pool renovations — resurfacing, tile replacement, equipment upgrades, plumbing work — benefit from thorough before-and-after documentation for warranty, permit, and client satisfaction. Here's what to capture.


Before Work

  • Full pool from all angles — overall exterior and interior condition
  • Close-ups of damaged surfaces — cracks, delamination, stained or worn plaster
  • Equipment — existing pump, filter, heater condition and labels
  • Existing plumbing and fittings

During Work

  • Surface prep — before new plaster or pebble application
  • Tile demo and substrate — condition before new tile
  • Equipment replacement — old equipment removed, new equipment in place

After Work

  • Completed surface — all angles showing the finished plaster/pebble/tile
  • New equipment — labels and installation
  • Water first fill — first fill of the refurbished pool
