We remodel residential and commercial pools in Lewisville and across the Dallas Fort Worth area, turning outdated pools into safer, more attractive and more usable outdoor spaces. Our work ranges from cosmetic updates and resurfacing to full scale renovations that integrate equipment, lighting and landscaping.
What pool remodeling includes
Scope and common updates
Pool remodeling covers a range of projects that improve appearance, function and longevity. Typical elements we handle include replacing the pool finish, repairing or upgrading plumbing and filtration equipment, reworking coping and deck connections, updating lighting and adding water features or built in steps and benches.
Who benefits from a remodel
Homeowners, HOAs, property managers, landscape designers, vacation rental owners and commercial property owners choose remodeling when a pool is showing wear, needs modern equipment, or no longer fits the way the outdoor space is used.
Benefits of remodeling your pool
- Improved safety through updated deck transitions and code compliant equipment.
- Better efficiency with modern pumps, filters and controls that reduce operating cost.
- Renewed appearance from new finishes, coping and tile to restore color and texture.
- Increased usability by adding features like shallow lounging areas, steps or integrated seating.
- Longer service life when structural defects and surface damage are addressed before they worsen.
Our process for a successful pool remodel
We follow a clear, repeatable process so you know what to expect and can make informed choices at each stage.
- Initial assessment. We inspect the pool finish, structure, equipment and surrounding deck to identify visible wear patterns, finish delamination and any signs of structural movement. This assessment sets the scope of work.
- Options and planning. We review finish materials, coping options, lighting and equipment upgrades that match your lifestyle and budget. We explain tradeoffs such as finish longevity versus texture and how equipment integration affects energy use.
- Detailed proposal and timeline. We document the proposed work, materials and a realistic project timeline with milestones for demolition, surface preparation, mechanical upgrades and finish installation.
- Permits and approvals. When permits are required we coordinate plan submittals and inspections with local authorities to keep the project on track.
- Preparation and repair. We address substrate preparation, crack repair and any necessary structural remediation before applying new finishes or replacing equipment.
- Finish and mechanical installation. We install the chosen finish, set coping and decks, and upgrade or balance plumbing and electrical components with licensed trades where required.
- Final inspection and handoff. We walk through the finished project with you, demonstrate equipment operation and outline simple maintenance to protect the investment.
We treat every project as if it were in our own backyard, with hands on craftsmanship and experienced project management to ensure durable, beautiful results.
What good work looks like
Good remodeling solves the root causes of failure, not just the cosmetic symptoms. Expect even finish coverage, tight tile and coping joints, properly pitched decks for drainage, neatly concealed equipment and clean, documented plumbing and electrical work. A finished pool should look integrated with the surrounding landscape and be easy to operate.
Pro tip: Choosing the right finish material affects color, texture and lifespan. Learn about common options on our pool finish materials page so you can weigh appearance against durability.
Common problems a remodel solves
- Worn or discolored plaster and pebble finishes.
- Cracked or loose tile and coping.
- Inefficient or failing pumps, filters and heaters.
- Poor circulation and dead spots caused by outdated plumbing layouts.
- Outdated lighting and lack of water features that reduce enjoyment.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical pool remodel take?
Timelines vary by scope. Cosmetic resurfacing can take a few weeks from start to finish. Full renovations that include equipment upgrades, coping and deck work commonly take several weeks to a few months. We provide a project schedule as part of the planning phase so you can plan around the work.
Do you replace the pool finish and equipment at the same time?
Often yes. Coordinating finish replacement with mechanical upgrades lets us correct plumbing and substrate issues before the new finish goes down. That reduces the chance of callbacks and extends the life of both the surface and equipment.
What finish materials do you recommend for Texas pools?
Choice depends on how the pool is used. Aggregate finishes are durable and hide mineral staining. Portland based plaster is cost effective but requires more maintenance. We review options with you, including appearance, expected lifespan and maintenance needs, so you can choose what fits your lifestyle.
Will a remodel require permits?
Permitting depends on the scope and local code. Structural changes, major equipment replacements and electrical work typically trigger permit requirements. We coordinate permit submittals and inspections to keep the project compliant with local authorities.
Can remodeling fix structural cracks or movement?
Minor cracks can sometimes be repaired as part of the renovation. Significant structural issues require engineering evaluation and specialized remediation. We identify structural concerns during the initial assessment and recommend the appropriate next steps.
Why remodeling is a wise long term choice
Remodeling restores value, improves safety and can lower operational cost with modern equipment. A thoughtful remodel addresses both appearance and underlying system problems so the pool performs reliably for years. Our role is to help you choose durable materials and to manage the work so the result matches your expectations.
Key takeaway
Pool remodeling is more than a new surface. It is an opportunity to solve hidden problems, improve efficiency and create an outdoor space that fits how you live. We handle the assessment, planning and hands on work so the finished pool is durable, safe and enjoyable.
