ANNOUNCEMENT
Fibre-Shelkote™
the longtime trademark for UGlassIt Pool Resurfacing, Inc. has reached a
significant milestone.
Fibre-Shelkote ™
has been
our trademark since 2001. It is now our newest corporate partner, Fibre-Shelkote
Products, LLC. with the responsibility of deploying our
national and
international distribution system.
In 1998, after seven years in the swimming pool
restoration industry, I learned that the company which employed me was about to
be sold. The price was out of my reach at the time, so I began developing a
business concept that I had recognized several years earlier.
As the former Sales Manager for a fiberglass resurfacing
company for seven years, I realized that anyone can fiberglass a pool if they're
willing to follow directions. There is no magic, no special skills, and
absolutely no special equipment required.
The best installers our company had were hard
working people with absolutely no prior experience in fiberglass resurfacing or,
for that matter, the swimming pool industry.
These applicators only had classroom training
before they began their first fiberglass resurfacing installation. Although they
were quite slow in the beginning, the installations were successful.
I began writing the installation book at the end
of 1998, and by the end of 1999, with the writing completed, I was ready to
begin this new venture.
With my own money, and an additional $10,000.
invested by my friend and accountant, UGlassIt Pool Resurfacing, Inc. was
incorporated. Our first web site was published in November, 1999.
In January, 2000 a small office was rented in Mt.
Laurel, NJ with myself as the only employee.
-
Tremendous Growth
During 2002, with a staff of two super employees,
we relocated to larger headquarters in Collingswood, NJ. Two new folks were
added to our staff right away.
By now, my 60 pages of instructions had been
given an official name:
©Pool
Resurfacing Made Easy, and even our trademark
Fibre-ShelkoteTM
had become reasonably well established.
At that time, our entire business was internet based, and we want to
particularly thank
Yahoo
and The Open Directory Project
ODP.org
for their continuous support. We also must thank an outstanding industry
chemist, Jon Demino, for his over zealous assistance and constant inspiration.
Both Jon and I have the misfortune of constantly trying to attain perfection in
the workplace, so we made a good pair.
But success
is only possible with the correct materials including Fibre-Shelkote
II
Vinyl Ester Resin, formulated by the manufacturer for the resurfacing of
swimming pools using the hand lay-up method. This outstanding resin combined
with properly formulated Fibre-Shelkote swimming pool gel coat is
the foundation of our success.
Cheap versions of these materials will not last more than a few years. They may
appear the same when delivered, and look the same after installation, but the
finish coat will chalk, crack, and deteriorate within three to four years.
Complete
how-to instructions about
the
repair and resurfacing of fiberglass pools and hot tubs
are available at our sister web site.
You can
do-it-yourself, or hire a local handyman to do it for you. You could even
sub-contract the work and still save thousands of dollars.
The
®UGlassIt
Do-It-Yourself pool resurfacing system is ideal for both residential and
small commercial swimming pools. Best of all, you only have to do it once and then you
can begin enjoying your pool for the next thirty years, or even longer!
Because our
business is do-it-yourself, we are available 7 days a week to answer questions
and help in any way possible. Many of our customers are "weekend warriors", so
our hours on Saturday, Sunday, and holidays are 11am-6pm EST. We will not be
available on Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving weekend, Christmas Day, and New Years
Day.
Thank you
for visiting our swimming pool restoration website and we look forward to
helping you solve your pool and hot tub problems for the foreseeable future.
My name is Bill Nash and I'm the CEO of UGlassIt
Pool Resurfacing, Inc. and the author of
North America's first do-it-yourself swimming pool restoration book,
