My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pool plaster vs aggregate vs tile

3 years ago

I've always had plaster pools, but I'm building a new one and am trying to decide on the best options. I'm leaning towards an aggregate, but I'm curious if tiling the whole pool might be worth considering given the cost of aggregate. Any thoughts on the cost and durability of aggregate vs tile and porcelain vs glass tile?
