Carowinds Theme Park selected one of Charlotte NC’s most reputable pool builder, Carolina Pool Plastering to make their swimming pools ADA compliant. ADA means Americans with Disabilities Act. It is a law that prevents the discrimination of people with disabilities.


It was into law on September 15, 2010, and it required public accommodations and commercial entities to make their facilities accessible and easy to use for people with disabilities. These public accommodations include spas, swimming and wading pools.

Changes in the usual swimming pools

In order to be an ADA compliant pool, need to have a sloping entry to the water, handrails and a chair lift. These amenities will allow persons with disabilities to enjoy the water as much as they like without the danger of drowning. Now this is a very cool law don’t you think?

The amenities mentioned above will be instrumental in giving access to the water that would otherwise be impossible for persons with disabilities. They can use the chair lift to independently enter the water without getting stranded, and the handrails and sloping give support to those who are using wheelchairs.

Significant role

As a reputable pool builder, Carolina Pool Plastering was able to make the necessary preparations in the Carowinds facilities. They were able to complete the renovations in time for summer! Using the Shotcrete method, there were able to finish replastering jobs faster and made them more durable. In no time at all, they were able to turn a Carowinds swimming pool into an ADA compliant pool. Shotcrete is also applicable to home swimming pools, not just for those big commercial ones.

As far as pool decks are concerned, pool contractors offer a variety of options. The most popular choices include brick pavers and concrete. Owing to the major developments, we can make concrete to appear  as if it’s slate, wood and even stone. The benefits we enjoy if we choose this option is extreme durability and easy maintenance.

To help us in our efforts to maintain and even enhance our pool decks, we should seek the help of professional experts in Carolina Pool Plastering. They can offer their expertise and knowledge to customers who need guidance.

To have fun during the summer, hire pool contractors in Charlotte

Summer is just around the corner and pool contractors are now busy helping residents in the Charlotte NC area prepare their pools. In addition to summer, there is Memorial Day and the Fourth of July to think about too. Having fun by the pool during these holidays is a very good idea!


Each year, our pools need to be cleaned. It’s part of properly maintaining our pools. We don’t only maintain the pool itself but also its adjacent surrounding. Pool surfaces need to be cleaned and an effective way to go about all these preparations is to hire the services of reliable pool experts.

Pool maintenance

Our pools should be properly maintained for optimal use. Depending on the pool surfaces, a reliable pool contractor would already know how to maintain our pools and decks. Common pool surfaces are concrete, stone and tile finishes. Performing regular maintenance routine will surely lengthen the lifespan of our pools.

Previously, pool contractors use sand blasting to clean our pools and tiles. This might be effective in cleaning the pool but neighbors complain on the dust and dirt more often. To solve this problem, water blasting is now utilized. This is a good idea because abrasive chemicals and cleaners are no longer used. This way, cleaning our pools is now environment-friendly.

Pool construction

People have different preferences. As far as pools are concerned, some are satisfied with the regular rectangular shape. However, for some, this is not enough. They want a pool design that seems to be part of the natural landscaping. Well, we cannot blame them right? Pools with curves and shapes that follow the natural landscaping are more attractive than those rectangular ones.

To achieve this design, pool contractors use shortcrete. Shortcrete uses mortar or concrete and is blown through a hose pneumatically. This allows pool contractors to construct pools with different or irregular designs.

Swimming pool construction has made many advancements over the years. Designers have come up with innovative designs that are truly pleasing to look at. To achieve best results, it is wise to consult with trusted pool contractors like Carolina Pool Plastering in Charlotte NC. It may cost a little bit more but the advantages far outweigh the difference in the cost.

For more information on pool maintenance and construction, call or visit Carolina Pool Plastering today and get in touch with one of Charlotte’ most trusted pool contractors.
