Surface and waterline
A new interior finish and new waterline tile change how the water looks and how the pool feels underfoot.
Residential pool remodeling
Your pool, ready for its next chapter.
A complete renovation for a pool that has had its day — surface, tile, coping and the deck around it, planned as one project.
What would you like to change?

- The interior surfacePlaster or mini pebble that is worn, stained or rough.
- The waterline tileTile that is dated, loose or missing.
- The copingThe edge around the pool where water meets deck.
- The surrounding deck or paversThe area you walk and sit on.
- Equipment, plumbing and electricalOnly as part of the remodel — not as a separate repair visit.

About concrete inground pools
We use shotcrete for new pool shells. Existing-pool work is planned around the pool’s condition and the changes you want.
What a complete remodel can include.
A remodel is a coordinated renovation: several parts of the pool are renewed together so the finished result belongs together.
When customers get remodels, they usually also get pavers around the pool, a fire pit, a barbecue, and a cinder block or wood fence around the backyard.
Coping and deck
New coping and a new deck or pavers bring the edge and the surroundings up to the standard of the water.
Pool and spa together
Where a spa is part of the pool, it is planned and finished in the same project.
Only the surface needs to change? Resurfacing renews the interior finish without the rest.

How we plan your remodel.
Every pool starts from a different condition, so the plan is made for yours.
We talk on site
We come to your pool, look at what is there and talk through what you want to change.
We agree a written scope
You receive a written package with the items you want, plus anything safety or local code requires.
We coordinate the work
One project manager keeps the trades in order and keeps you informed. You review each phase.
We hand over
At the end we walk through the finished pool with you and explain what your project needs next.
Good to know.
Complete remodel or resurfacing — which one do I need?
If only the interior finish needs to change, resurfacing is the smaller project. If tile, coping or the deck should change as well, a remodel plans them together.
Can deck and tile work be combined with the remodel?
Yes. Deck, pavers, coping and waterline tile are commonly planned together with the pool surface so the work is coordinated in one project.
My pool has cracks, stains or old equipment. What happens with that?
We look at existing conditions in person during the estimate visit and discuss what we find. We do not assess a pool from photographs alone.
What should I prepare for a remodeling estimate?
Make a list of what you want to keep and what you want to change: the interior finish, tile, coping, deck, equipment or backyard features. Mention any cracks, stains or plumbing concerns. The pool is assessed in person, and the work is set out in a written scope rather than priced from photos alone.
