You can expect your applicator to clean and prep the pool for the interior poool finish application, perform the application, then his crew will show up on the following day to perform the acid and pressure wash, then they'll install the eyeballs, pool/spa lamps, and your garden hoses to fill the pool. A buff as you described will come as an additional charge.
I'm curious, what color pool finish did you choose?
Congrats on the new pool, post some pic's for all of us to enjoy.

See ya,

the buffing is not an extra charge in AZ if done by a licensed PebbleTec/Sheen applicator (one of only two in phx). It is done during the acid wash on the day following the initial install. It is simply a weed wacker with a polishing wheel of composite bristles. A hose is dropped immediately after the acid wash.

wonder huskyridor if you can advise me? for a variety of reasons our paver deck project got out of phase with the pool resurface. how long after the sheen is installed do you think i can let the paver contractor work on deck. (i don't want the dust to get into the pool before the sheen "cures")

I would delay the Pebble Sheen until after the decks are done if there is going to be any cutting of material for the decks.

agreed - that would have been the right way to do it. but the sheen is going in today (turtle bay) acid wash tomorrow. and the pavers are mostly in - but not complete. a few cuts, the vibrating. and the grouting are still left. the aquamatic cover is going in on Monday 8/12. so we can cover up after then. i suppose i should i wait until 8.12 so that i can cover the pool at least? what about vibrations?

PS womanowned - i LOVE the spillway feature you have on the pool on your business landing page. not just pouring straight into the pool but landing on the stone ledge first.
