My wife and I are buying a house with a pool here in so. Cal. I have very little knowledge of pools and this makes me a bit nervous. I am here to gain as much knowledge as I can to help care for my pool and save as much $$ as possible while doing so. First thing that concerns me is the condition of the pool, meaning the surface. It looks ok to me but I'm not a professional, but I do see a problem. The pool has been painted and the paint is peeling in many different places mostly at the bottom. What is the best way to remedy this problem, and what does it generally cost to fix?
