Pool Remodeling & Resurfacing Services

If your pool is showing its age with faded plaster, cracked tile, outdated equipment, or an uninspired design, a professional remodel can completely transform your backyard. Sapphire Pool Solutions specializes in full-scale pool renovations across the Greater Phoenix area, breathing new life into aging pools with modern materials and updated designs. Many Phoenix-area pools are 15 to 30 years old, and a well-planned remodel can make them look and perform like they were just built.

Pool Resurfacing & Replastering

Pool surfaces deteriorate over time due to Arizona's intense UV exposure, hard water mineral deposits, and chemical wear. We offer a full range of interior finishes including standard white plaster, colored quartz aggregates, PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, and glass bead finishes. A fresh surface not only looks stunning but also improves water chemistry balance and reduces chemical consumption. Most resurfacing projects are completed in 5 to 7 business days. We drain the pool, chip away the deteriorated surface, apply the new finish, fill and balance the water, and walk you through the proper startup process to ensure your new surface cures correctly.

Tile, Coping & Deck Replacement

Cracked waterline tile and crumbling coping are among the most common signs that a pool needs attention. Arizona's heat causes concrete and mortar to expand and contract, which loosens tile and cracks coping over time. We remove and replace damaged tile with modern glass, porcelain, or natural stone options that resist fading and scaling. We also repair or replace concrete, travertine, and paver decking around the pool, ensuring a safe, non-slip surface that looks great for years to come. If your deck has settled or cracked, we can lift and level it or install a completely new surface.

Feature Additions & Upgrades

Remodeling is the perfect opportunity to add features you have always wanted. LED color-changing lights create ambiance for evening swims. Water features like bubblers, deck jets, and cascading waterfalls add movement and sound. A built-in spa provides year-round relaxation. Sun shelves and tanning ledges offer shallow areas for lounging. We can also upgrade your plumbing, install energy-efficient variable-speed pumps, and add salt chlorine generators to reduce long-term maintenance costs and simplify pool care.

When to Remodel vs. Build New

If your pool shell is structurally sound but everything else needs updating, a remodel is almost always the better investment. A complete remodel typically costs 30 to 50 percent of new construction while giving you an essentially new pool. We inspect the gunite or shotcrete shell, plumbing, and structural steel to determine if remodeling is the right path. In cases where the shell has extensive damage or the pool shape no longer suits your needs, we can discuss full reconstruction options as well.

Equipment Upgrades During Your Remodel

A remodel is the ideal time to replace outdated equipment. Old single-speed pumps, undersized filters, and aging heaters waste energy and money. We can upgrade your entire equipment pad with a variable-speed pump, a properly sized filter, an efficient heater or heat pump, an automation system, and a salt chlorine generator, all while the pool is already drained and under construction. Bundling equipment upgrades with your remodel saves on labor costs and gets everything done at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a pool remodel take?

Most pool remodels take 1 to 3 weeks depending on the scope of work. A simple resurface may take 5 to 7 days, while a complete remodel with new tile, coping, decking, and equipment can take 2 to 3 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline before starting.

How often should a pool be resurfaced?

Standard plaster typically lasts 7 to 12 years before needing replacement. Premium finishes like PebbleTec can last 15 to 20 years. Arizona's intense UV and hard water can accelerate surface wear, so regular maintenance helps extend the life of your finish.

Can I add a spa during a pool remodel?

Yes, adding a built-in spa is one of the most popular remodel additions. We can integrate a raised or flush spa into your existing pool design, complete with dedicated heating, jets, and independent controls.

Is it worth remodeling my pool or should I build new?

In most cases, remodeling is significantly more cost-effective than building a new pool. A complete remodel typically costs 30 to 50 percent of new construction while giving you an essentially new pool. We can assess your pool's structural integrity and recommend the best approach.
