Pool Resurfacing

When the plaster gets rough underfoot, the color has gone gray, or you’re seeing the substrate come through — that’s a resurface. I strip the old finish, fix any underlying cracks or hollow spots, and apply your new finish (smooth plaster, pebble aggregate, or quartz). The color and texture choice is bigger than people realize: it sets the entire look of the water for the next 8–12 years.

Deck and Coping

The deck and coping are 70% of what your eye sees when you walk out the back door. A tired, stained, or cracked deck makes a fine pool look neglected. I refurbish or replace pool decks in concrete, pavers, or travertine — including the coping that frames the water’s edge.

Screen Enclosures

Florida pool screens take a beating — UV, hurricanes, lightning, kids. We repair, rescreen, or rebuild the entire enclosure depending on what you’ve got. Aluminum framing, hurricane-rated where the wind code requires it.

Equipment

Variable-speed pumps, modern heaters or heat pumps, salt systems, automation packages, smart-home integration, LED lighting. The mechanical side of your pool is where the monthly cost lives — and where the comfort upgrades live.

FAQ about Pool Renovations

What is a biodesign pool?

A Biodesign pool is an eco-friendly, customizable swimming pool that uses patented technology combining structural reinforced waterproofing liners with a hand-applied coating of quartz sand and resins. Designed to look like natural sandy lakes or beaches, they feature customized interior seating, lounges, and gradual entries, bypassing the need for heavy concrete construction.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or breathing new life into an existing pool, we do it all. New builds, upgrades, renovations, equipment, decks, screens, automation, and repairs — plus the outdoor kitchen and finishing touches that make it feel like home.

Anything on a pool that already exists. The most common projects: plaster or pebble resurfacing, tile and coping replacement, deck refurbishment or full re-pour, screen enclosure repair or rebuild, pump and filter equipment swaps (variable-speed retrofits in particular), heater install or replacement, salt-water conversion, LED light upgrades, pool automation and smart-home integration, plumbing repairs, crack repair, spillover spa retrofits where the structure allows, and feature additions like fire bowls or waterfalls.

Look at three rough tiers from real Northeast Florida projects. First, a Refresh ($5K–$15K) covers a single-equipment swap or a basic resurface. Second, a Standard ($15K–$40K) includes a full plaster refinish, deck refurbishment, and a couple of equipment upgrades. Finally, a Premium ($40K–$90K) delivers a full reno featuring a resurface, tile, coping, new deck, full automation package, and a screen enclosure rebuild. Additionally, the 90-second estimator on my home page narrows it down tighter.

Equipment swaps are usually a one-day job. A plaster resurface is 2–3 weeks because the cure has to be respected. A full premium reno (resurface + deck + screen + automation) runs 6–10 weeks depending on the deck choice and screen complexity. I sequence the noisy work first so you’re not living next to a vibrating saw on weekends.
