Pool Remodels
Remodel the Pool You Already Have
A structurally sound concrete shell can become the foundation for a complete pool transformation. A remodel updates the surfaces you see and use while creating the opportunity to rethink features, lighting, seating and the space around the water.

The existing shell
The foundation endures; the finishes define the experience.
The concrete shell of a pool is designed for longevity, while the surfaces you see and interact with every day naturally evolve over time. A thoughtful remodel revitalizes the pool with updated finishes, tile, coping, and decking. It also creates the perfect opportunity to introduce new design elements, such as a tanning ledge, seating areas, enhanced lighting, or a spa, improving both the beauty and functionality of the outdoor space.

Decide how far the transformation should go
Refresh every visible surface
Coordinate the interior finish, waterline tile, coping and decking so the pool and the space around it read as one design.
Change how people use the water
Introduce a tanning ledge, built-in seating or a spa when the shell assessment and project layout support those additions.
Change the evening experience
Plan new lighting with the finish and water color instead of treating it as a separate equipment choice.
Converting chlorine to salt
Add a saltwater chlorine generator during the remodel and coordinate the equipment change with the rest of the pool updates.
Update aging pool systems
Assess older pumps, filters, heaters and automation, then include the systems that need replacement or modernization in the remodel plan.
Rework the poolside space
Use the remodel to reconsider deck material, circulation and where people sit before the new surfaces go in.
Turn the existing pool into the one you want now
The shell condition establishes the starting point. From there, the project moves through one coordinated design rather than a pile of unrelated surface choices.
-
Assess the shell and the surfaces over it
We start with the concrete shell, then review the interior finish, waterline tile, coping, deck, equipment and the features already built into the pool.
You decide: Keep the good bones. Everything tired, awkward or permanently stuck in another decade can audition for a graceful exit.
-
Design the new pool experience
The remodel layout brings the finish, tile, coping and deck together with any tanning ledge, seating, lighting or spa under consideration.
You decide: Pick the plot twist. More lounging, better parties, glowing night swims, spa bubbles, or a salt system that retires the old chlorine routine.
-
Open the pool for the coordinated work
The existing finish and affected edge materials are removed so the approved surfaces and built-in changes can be completed as one remodel scope.
You decide: Hold the great tile, coping and deck beauty pageant. Only the combination that looks good together gets a sash.
-
Finish, fill and enjoy the new version
The selected interior finish completes the visible transformation, and the pool is filled and started with its updated lighting, equipment and features.
You decide: Cue the water, switch on the lights and invite the towels. The old pool is ready for its dramatic reveal.
