Update. We found a concrete construction company to do the work that had good recommendations from people we know. Concrete demo started 7-1-2013. They found 2 breaks in the skimmer suction line where it exited the concrete that was poured around the skimmer insert. Since we removed all of the concrete deck, we are expanding the deck, the west side of the pool had no deck at all, only the brick coping. There is a hill on that side of the pool that during heavy rains would wash dirt into the pool. We cut the hill back to allow a retaining wall and 4' of deck. Since 70% of the tile had fallen off the last few years, it was removed and replaced with glass tiles that has the same colors as the tiles that are imbedded in the steps and seating areas. Thats where the pool sits, we have had 14" of rain over the last 2 weeks, so it's too wet to do anything. If there is an upside, this is not a summer that the pool would have been used much with cooler than normal temps and lots of rain.
When its finished, we will have a huge deck area where before there were 6' circles of dirt left for long dead trees, when they pored the concrete. Those circles broke up the space so they were just wrong for tables and chairs.
