Pool Renovations Services in Westlake
From a fresh finish to a full backyard makeover, we handle every part of bringing an older pool back to life.
Pool Resurfacing
We remove the old finish and apply a fresh plaster, pebble, or quartz surface so the pool looks new and feels smooth again. Resurfacing also seals small cracks before they grow into leaks.
Tile & Coping Replacement
We replace cracked or stained waterline tile and coping so the pool edge is safe, clean, and matches your patio. New coping also fixes a rough or loose edge that catches feet and towels.
LED Lighting Upgrades
We swap old pool lights for color LED lighting so the pool looks great at night and uses less energy. Modern LEDs last longer and let you change the mood with a tap.
Plumbing & Skimmer Fixes
We repair or replace skimmers, returns, and underground plumbing that leak or restrict flow. Fixing the plumbing during a renovation prevents water loss and keeps circulation strong.
Equipment Modernization
We upgrade old pumps, filters, and heaters as part of the renovation so the whole pool runs efficiently. New variable-speed pumps cut energy use and run quieter than older models.
Deck & Finish Refresh
We refresh the deck and the waterline so the whole pool area looks intentional and updated. A fresh finish on the deck also improves traction and safety when wet.
Materials & Finishes We Renovate With
For resurfacing we use plaster, pebble, and quartz finishes from trusted names like PebbleTec, Wet Edge, and Leslie's. Pebble finishes hold up best to North Texas sun and pool chemistry, while quartz offers a smooth feel with good durability. We help you pick the finish that fits your look, your budget, and how much upkeep you want to take on.
For tile and coping we install products from National Pool Tile and StoneScapes so the waterline and the pool edge match your home and patio. We choose tile that resists staining and coping that stays safe to walk on when wet. The right materials keep the renovated pool looking sharp for years with less scrubbing.
On the equipment side we install pumps, filters, heaters, and automation from Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy because parts and service are easy to find across North Texas. A renovation is a great time to upgrade to a variable-speed pump, which runs quieter and uses less energy than an older single-speed motor. We size the new equipment to your pool so it turns the water over efficiently.
We also install LED lighting from Pentair and Hayward, salt systems, and automation controllers so you can run the renovated pool from your phone. Building the technology in during a renovation is cleaner and more reliable than retrofitting it later. We set up the automation, test every feature, and show you how to use it before we hand the pool back.
How a Pool Renovation Works
Four clear phases, the same on every renovation, so you always know what is happening next.
Assessment & Quote
We inspect the shell, the finish, the tile, the coping, and the equipment, then hand you a clear written quote before any work starts.
Drain & Prep
We drain the pool and prepare the surface, removing the old finish and repairing any cracks in the shell before the new material goes on.
Resurface & Rebuild
We apply the new finish, set the tile and coping, and upgrade any equipment you chose so the whole pool looks and runs like new.
Refill & Startup
We refill the pool, balance the water, test every feature, and walk you through your renovated pool before we hand it back.
Outdoor Living Renovations in Westlake
A pool renovation is a great time to think about the whole backyard, not just the water. We tie in patios, decks, and outdoor living spaces so the pool, the seating, and the yard work together as one space. That means the renovated pool feels like part of the home instead of a standalone feature stuck in the grass.
We can add or refresh patios, walkways, and shade structures as part of the renovation so the traffic flow and the look are consistent. You can see more about those builds on our pool installation page and our pool equipment installation page.
We also serve homeowners across the region, so if your project is outside Westlake you can learn more on our Westlake pool cleaning page or our service areas page.
Warning Signs You Need a Pool Renovation
A few clear signs tell you it is time to renovate before the problems get worse. Catching these early keeps the shell sound and the pool safe.
- The finish is rough, stained, or flaking and will not come clean with brushing
- Tile is cracked, loose, or falling off the waterline
- Coping is rough, loose, or pulling away from the pool edge
- The pool looks dated and you want a fresh look without a full rebuild
Repair vs Renovate: How We Decide
Sometimes a small repair is all you need, like a patch on a cracked tile or a single skimmer fix. Other times the finish, the tile, and the coping are all showing age at once, and a full renovation makes more sense than fixing one piece at a time. We give you an honest read on which path fits your pool, and we never push a renovation when a repair will do the job.
If you are wondering what a renovation costs, every pool is different so we quote after a free walkthrough of your pool and equipment. We give a free written quote after seeing your situation, no pressure, and there are no surprise charges added later. You will see the full scope, the materials, and the timeline before you commit to anything.

Common signs include a rough finish that scratches feet, visible staining that will not brush off, cracks in the plaster, or areas where the finish is flaking away. If the pool is more than ten years old and has never been resurfaced, it is probably due. We do a free walkthrough and show you exactly what we see before recommending a resurface.
