Builder

If you’re looking for design changes on top of replacing your pool’s finish, you need a builder! Builders can turn virtually any vision into reality, from drafting designs to helping you select a water color, installing your pool, adding special patio features– and beyond.

Applicator

Our authorized applicators go through extensive education to prove they have what it takes to APPLY PebbleTec. If you need help picking the right finish, your applicator also can help you with that.

  1. Double check your contract:Ensure that the color and finish type noted on your contract is an approved finish listed on our website before installation. You can also view our finishes by downloading a brochure. 
  1. Look at the material:During the installation of your pool finish, you can check the bags of material to verify that the Pebble Technology International logo and proper finish name are printed on them.
