H&H Tile & Plaster — Castle Hills’s Certified Pool Renovation Specialists. Plastering, Resurfacing, Tile, Coping & Leak Detection. 10,000+ Texas Pools Completed.
Castle Hills is an incorporated municipality in the heart of northwest San Antonio, surrounded by the city on all sides and characterized by established mid-century and later residential development. The pool stock in Castle Hills tends to be older than most of the metro's suburban communities — many pools here date to the 1970s, 1980s, and early 1990s — making comprehensive renovation rather than first-time replastering the typical project scope. H&H Tile & Plaster brings the experience and certified expertise that older pool renovation demands to the Castle Hills market.
Castle Hills sits in central Bexar County where the Blackland Prairie clay is present throughout — deep, expansive clay that cycles dramatically between wet and dry conditions and is one of the primary drivers of pool surface aging, coping failure, and structural cracking in this part of San Antonio. Castle Hills pools have experienced decades of this cyclic soil stress, which is why comprehensive assessment of coping, shell integrity, and potential leaks is particularly important before any renovation investment in this community.
Castle Hills pools have often been replastered once or twice over their service life, and renovation projects here frequently reveal layered plaster applications — multiple generations of replastering applied over the original shell. This history affects the approach: H&H carefully evaluates how many plaster layers are present and whether complete removal back to the original shell is warranted before the new finish is applied. This thorough assessment is part of our free on-site estimate process.
Castle Hills homeowners sometimes discover during a renovation assessment that their pool has structural issues — cracks in the shell, coping failures, or even evidence of slow leaks — that have been present but undiagnosed for years. H&H's comprehensive surface assessment before quoting means these issues are identified before renovation investment is committed, not discovered mid-project. We'll always give you a complete picture of what your pool needs before any work begins.

San Antonio area pools — including those in Castle Hills — face two primary accelerants of pool surface wear: the Edwards Aquifer's exceptionally hard water (calcium hardness routinely 300–500+ ppm) and Bexar County's expansive clay soils. Hard water chemistry imbalances during summer evaporation attack plaster surfaces and deposit calcium carbonate scale on tile and grout. Clay soil movement places cyclic stress on pool shells, coping mortar beds, and plumbing fittings. Together these conditions accelerate pool surface aging compared to softer-water, more geologically stable markets.
Yes. H&H is a certified applicator for Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, Diamond Brite, and all major quartz aggregate systems. Certification means we apply these finishes to manufacturer specifications and are authorized to provide the manufacturer product warranty — coverage that is not available from uncertified contractors regardless of what finish material they use.
Fall and winter — October through February — produce the best plaster cure conditions in the Castle Hills area due to cooler ambient temperatures.
