Waterline Tile, Coping necessary?
We have an inground kidney shaped pool - around 25k gallon we estimate - in southeastern Pennsylvania. We bought our house about 9 years ago, and I don't have much information on the pool prior to that.
The waterline tile is starting to come off. We had the odd tile come off in past years but this year after opening we saw more and deemed it time to retile.
I have a company (Coronado) coming out to take a look, and over the phone they already are suggesting that we have the coping redone as well.
The coping now is natural stone shaped around the pool. I don't see any evidence of cracks or leakage, but obviously a visual inspection is pretty limited.
Coping would turn what I anticipated into a project a bit less than $10k into more like $20-25k.
I don't know enough about pools to know whether I'm being taken for a ride if they recommend it, anybody have experience to offer?
