What a pool remodel usually includes
A remodel combines the work of resurfacing with visible updates to the pool’s edges and details. The pool is already drained and accessible, so it is an efficient time to address items that would otherwise be separate projects.
- New interior finish: plaster, quartz, or pebble
- Replacement or repair of waterline tile and coping
- Repair of cracks or hollow areas found during prep
- Coordinating colors so tile, coping, and finish work together
Why remodel instead of just resurfacing
Fresh plaster next to faded tile and cracked coping can look odd, and it can feel like you paid for half a job. Remodeling avoids that mismatch. It also reduces the number of times the pool has to be drained and the yard has to be worked in.
On the other hand, a remodel is a bigger project with a larger budget. If your tile and coping are in good shape and you like them, a straightforward resurfacing may be all you need. We tell you which side of that line your pool is on.
Planning the look
Good remodels start with a picture of the finished pool. We talk with you about what you like and what bothers you now: the water color, the edge, the steps, the tile. Then we translate that into finish and tile choices. It helps to look at your deck and landscaping at the same time, since these set the backdrop for whatever you choose.
Working around your household
A remodel touches a space your family uses. We talk through what the project will look like on site, how long the pool will be out of service, and how weather could change the plan, so nothing catches you off guard.
What we do and do not do
Our focus is the pool interior, tile, and coping. If your ideas include changes to decking, plumbing, equipment, or the pool shape, tell us; we can note what falls inside our work and where you may need another specialist.
