We renovate pools for homeowners, HOAs and property managers in Lewisville and throughout the Dallas Fort Worth area. A pool renovation with Petri Pools replaces worn finishes, repairs equipment and plumbing, and updates the pool and surrounding deck so the space is safer, easier to maintain and more enjoyable to use.
What a pool renovation includes
Pool renovation covers a range of work from cosmetic refreshes to full remodels. We tailor each project to the client, the existing pool condition and the site. Typical renovation tasks we perform include finish replacement, coping and tile repair, concrete resurfacing, equipment upgrades, lighting and water feature installation, and deck or landscape integration.
Who benefits from a renovation
Renovations suit homeowners with faded or damaged finishes, older pools with inefficient equipment, HOAs that need uniform repairs, and property managers or real estate agents preparing homes for sale. We also work with landscape designers and luxury homeowners who want a modern outdoor living look tied into the pool design.
Benefits of a pool renovation
- Improved appearance and curb appeal with a new finish and updated tile.
- Safer operation through repaired coping, updated decking and modern pool safety features.
- Lower ongoing costs from energy efficient pumps, filters and heaters.
- Better water quality and easier maintenance when finishes and equipment are renewed.
- Increased property value and greater enjoyment of the outdoor living space.
Our pool renovation process
We follow a clear, documented process so each renovation proceeds predictably. We explain options and tradeoffs at every stage so you can choose what fits your budget and lifestyle.
- Site inspection and consultation. We inspect the pool structure, finish condition, tile and coping, equipment, plumbing and the surrounding deck. This determines what is cosmetic and what requires repair.
- Scope and plan. We present a written plan that separates must do repairs from optional upgrades, and we outline materials, expected timelines and permitting needs.
- Surface preparation. Proper preparation is essential. That can include draining, chip out of loose plaster or tile, concrete repair and leveling before any new finish goes down.
- Repairs and equipment work. Structural cracks, shotcrete or gunite repairs, replumbing and equipment upgrades happen before finishes so the pool functions reliably for years.
- Finish installation and tile work. We apply the chosen finish, replace or reset waterline tile and install coping so surfaces look uniform and perform well.
- Deck and feature integration. We coordinate any deck repairs, lighting or new water features so the pool and outdoor area read as one design.
- Final fill, balancing and handoff. After curing and filling, we balance the water, test equipment and walk through maintenance needs with the owner.
Pro tip: Choosing a finish is about more than color. Consider texture for slip resistance, long term maintenance, and how the finish color affects water appearance and backyard temperature.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a typical pool renovation take?
Timelines vary with scope. A simple resurfacing can take days to prepare and several weeks including curing. Full remodels that add decking, equipment changes or structural repairs take longer. We outline a realistic timeline during the planning stage and factor in finish curing and municipal permitting when needed.
How do I choose the right finish?
Choices depend on use, maintenance tolerance and budget. Plaster gives a classic look. Aggregate finishes resist wear and show less staining. Color affects the water tone and heat absorption. We explain tradeoffs and point to material samples so you can visualize results.
Do renovations require permits?
Some projects require permits, especially if plumbing, electrical or structural work is involved. We note likely permit needs during the scope and coordinate with local authorities as required.
Will renovating fix structural issues?
Surface replacements do not conceal structural problems. If we find structural damage such as large cracks or movement, we include repair options in the plan. Structural repairs are handled before finishes are applied so the new surface performs correctly.
Can equipment upgrades reduce energy costs?
Yes. Replacing old pumps and filters with modern, energy efficient equipment can lower operating costs and improve circulation and water quality. We show how equipment sizing and controls affect long term savings and maintenance.
