When your pool is older than your kids.
A pool over fifteen years old gets a quiet, complete renovation in six to eight working days — no mess demolition, no drama, and the backyard looking new again.
Pool renovation in DFW is a specific kind of project. Most pools in this market were built between the late ’90s and the early 2010s. The plaster has chalked. The tile has loosened. The coping is cracked. The mastic line has failed. And the pool that was beautiful at the build looks tired now — even though the structure underneath is still sound.
That’s the project we’re known for. A renovation isn’t a rebuild. It isn’t an excavation. It’s six to eight working days of focused work that takes a twenty-year-old backyard and makes it look like a brand-new install — without you ever leaving home.
We replace what’s worn. We upgrade what’s outdated. We don’t touch what’s still working. And we hand it back to you ready for the best summer your family will have in that backyard since the day the pool went in.
The full pool renovation, itemized.
Every renovation we do is fully scoped to what your pool actually needs. Nothing forced, nothing skipped. Here’s what a typical full renovation includes, in the order we typically address it:
Drain, prep, and bond coat
Every replaster starts with a full drain, a thorough cleaning of the existing surface, replacement of all suction and return fittings, and the application of an adhesive bond coat — the layer that lets the new plaster grip the old shell correctly. This isn’t a line item we hide. It’s a flat $1,500 prep fee built into every renovation that includes replaster, because skipping any of it shortens the lifespan of everything that comes after.
Replaster
The interior plaster surface is the most visible part of your pool and the part that wears fastest. We resurface with either standard white marble dust plaster or upgrade to pebble for a more durable, more refined finish. Either option restores the pool to a like-new appearance.
New waterline tile
The tile at the waterline takes the most punishment — sun, water chemistry, and seasonal temperature swings. After fifteen years it’s usually loose, stained, or simply dated. We remove the existing tile and install a fresh selection that complements your new plaster and coping.
New coping
The cap stone around the pool’s edge defines the entire visual line of the backyard. Worn, cracked, or dated coping pulls the whole space down. New travertine or limestone coping is one of the biggest visual upgrades a renovation provides.
Waterproof mastic
The flexible joint between the coping and the deck is what keeps water from migrating behind your pool shell and into the surrounding soil. When mastic fails, it doesn’t just look bad — it threatens the structural integrity of everything around it. We replace it with a high-grade waterproof mastic built to last.
Pebble upgrade (optional)
If you’re already replastering, this is the moment to upgrade. Pebble plaster lasts roughly twice as long as standard marble dust, has a more refined visual texture, and feels noticeably better underfoot. The cost difference is meaningful but the lifetime value is substantial.
A real number, in under a minute.
Measure your pool perimeter (and spa, if you have one), select what you want included, and we’ll give you an honest project estimate. Same pricing we’d quote in person — no anchor, no padding.
Two ways to handle the refill.
After the renovation work is complete, your pool needs a careful chemical start-up. The first thirty days after a replaster determine the long-term durability of the surface, so this part isn’t optional — only the question of who handles it.
We handle the start-up
We manage the complete chemical start-up ourselves — the initial fill, balanced chemistry, daily brushing for the first ten days, and the gradual sequence of additions that protects your fresh plaster. This is the safest option for the plaster’s lifespan and what we recommend when there’s no trusted maintenance service already in place.
Your maintenance company handles it
