H&H Tile & Plaster — Terrell Hills’s Certified Pool Renovation Specialists. Plastering, Resurfacing, Tile, Coping & Leak Detection. 10,000+ Texas Pools Completed.
Terrell Hills is one of San Antonio's most historic and architecturally distinctive residential enclaves — a small incorporated city adjacent to Fort Sam Houston and Alamo Heights, with a pool stock that reflects the community's age and character. Many pools in Terrell Hills were built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s, placing them among the oldest pool stock in the San Antonio metro area. These are pools with history and often with significant renovation needs — H&H Tile & Plaster brings the experience and care that restoring older pools requires to every Terrell Hills project.
Terrell Hills sits in east-central Bexar County where Blackland Prairie clay soils are prevalent. This clay geology, combined with the age of the pool stock in the community, means Terrell Hills pools have accumulated decades of cyclic soil stress — making them more likely than newer pools to have structural issues, coping failures, and layered plaster applications that need careful assessment before renovation.
The character of Terrell Hills pools — older structures, often with traditional aesthetic design, frequently featuring coping and tile materials from their original installation era — means renovation projects here often involve more comprehensive assessment work than in newer communities. H&H's free estimate process includes a thorough evaluation of the shell condition, existing plaster layers, tile and coping integrity, and any signs of structural movement or water loss before we present renovation recommendations.
Terrell Hills homeowners often ask about maintaining the historic character of their pool while modernizing the interior surface and tile. H&H will guide you through tile and finish selections that respect the original design aesthetic while applying current materials and installation methods that will serve the pool for the next 15–20 years. We have experience working with both classic traditional designs and contemporary renovation aesthetics.

San Antonio area pools — including those in Terrell 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 Terrell Hills area due to cooler ambient temperatures.
