The pool is fine. It is everything around it.

Most pools we are called to look at hold water perfectly well. What has failed is the surround: cracked concrete decking, lifting coping, waterline tile falling off, and a fence and lighting from two decades ago.

Rehabilitating the surround is far less expensive than replacing a pool, and it changes the whole back yard. We handle the hardscape, masonry and structure, and coordinate the pool trades where interior surfaces or equipment need attention.

Deck Replacement

Replacing cracked concrete with travertine, pavers or new poured concrete.

Coping & Tile

Lifting and replacing failed coping stones and waterline tile, set level and watertight.

Surrounding Walls

Retaining walls, seat walls and planters that frame the pool properly.

Drainage Around the Pool

Deck drains and grading so runoff does not end up in the pool or against the shell.

Lighting & Power

Updated low-voltage lighting, outlets and equipment power runs.

Fencing & Gates

Pool-code compliant fencing with self-closing, self-latching gates.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to drain the pool?

For deck work, usually not. For coping and waterline tile the level normally has to drop below the work area. We plan it to minimise the time down.

Is it cheaper to renovate or replace?

Renovating the surround is dramatically cheaper than a new pool, and it is what most people actually want. If the shell itself is failing, that is a different conversation and we will say so.

How long does pool rehab take?

Deck and coping work typically runs two to four weeks depending on size and material. Weather affects concrete and mortar work more than most trades.

Can you make an old pool area safer?

Yes — non-slip decking, correct step and coping edges, code-compliant fencing and proper lighting are usually the four things that need attention.
