Pool Remodeling
Complete pool renovations — tile, coping, resurfacing, decking, and equipment upgrades rolled into one project.
Typical project range: $15,000 - $65,000
Most Orlando-area pools were built in the 1980s-2000s and are showing their age — faded diamond-brite, stained waterline tile, cracked travertine coping, and outdated equipment. A pool remodel is how you transform a tired pool into something modern, efficient, and worth spending time in again.
What a pool remodel covers
A full pool remodel is a bundled project that typically addresses:
- Interior surface — new plaster, pebble finish, or quartz. The surface is the foundation of the remodel.
- Waterline tile — modern glass, porcelain, or ceramic tile replacing the old band.
- Coping — travertine, brick, or cantilever concrete around the pool edge.
- Deck — pavers, stamped concrete, or travertine for the surrounding deck area.
- Equipment — variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, saltwater systems, heaters.
- Features — sun shelves, bubblers, fountains, spillover spas.
Not every remodel includes everything. We build quotes around what your pool actually needs and what your budget supports.

Why Central Florida homeowners remodel
- Diamond-brite surfaces typically fail at 10-15 years in Orlando’s chemistry
- Waterline tile rarely lasts more than 15-20 years without intervention
- Equipment from the 2000s is massively less efficient than today’s variable-speed pumps
- Modern finishes (pebble, quartz, glass tile) look better and last longer
Frequently asked questions
- What's included in a pool remodel?
- A full pool remodel typically includes: new waterline (or full) tile, new interior surface (plaster/pebble/quartz), new coping, and often deck resurfacing. Many homeowners also upgrade to variable-speed pumps, LED lighting, and saltwater chlorinators during a remodel since the pool is already drained.
- How long does a pool remodel take?
- Most Orlando pool remodels run 3-5 weeks from drain to refill. Scope drives timeline — a tile + resurface project is 2-3 weeks, while a full remodel with coping, deck, and equipment can stretch to 4-6 weeks.
- How much does a pool remodel cost in Orlando?
- Budget remodels (tile + resurface only) start around $12,000-$18,000. Mid-range remodels (+ coping + some equipment) run $20,000-$35,000. High-end remodels (full scope + premium finishes + custom features) can reach $50,000-$80,000+.
- When is the best time to remodel a pool in Orlando?
- October through February — off-season months when pool use is lowest and contractor availability is highest. Most homeowners want their pool ready by March-April, so booking in fall gets you on the schedule before the rush.
