Signs You Need a New Pool Renovation
At Coastal Pools, we understand that it might be hard to determine whether or not you need a pool renovation. Our team can help you decide the best move forward. Several indicators suggest it’s time to renovate your pool:
- Visible Wear and Tear: Cracks, peeling surfaces, loose tiles, and coping stones are clear signs that renovation is necessary. These issues are not only aesthetic concerns but could also indicate structural problems.
- Aging Equipment: If your pool heater, filtration system, or other equipment isn’t functioning efficiently, frequent repairs can become costly. Upgrading to modern, energy-efficient equipment during a remodel can be more economical in the long run.
- Changing Needs: Family needs and preferences evolve over time. Perhaps you want to add a hot tub or update the design to make your backyard more attractive.
- High Maintenance Costs: Outdated pools often require more chemicals and frequent maintenance. Modern materials and efficient designs can reduce these costs.




Benefits of Renovating an Old Pool
Renovating an old pool offers numerous advantages:
- Enhanced Appearance: Transform your pool into an inviting and attractive space through simple updates like new tiles, resurfacing, and adding features such as waterfalls or LED lighting.
- Improved Efficiency: Upgrading equipment like heaters and filtration systems may reduce energy consumption and operating costs.
- Increased Property Value: A well-executed pool renovation can increase your property’s value, making it more appealing to potential buyers.
- Long-Term Savings: Pool resurfacing and equipment upgrades may lengthen the lifespan of your pool. This can reduce the need for future renovations.

How It Works
Before you choose a pool remodel, it’s key to understand how our pool renovation process works. Our team will help guide you through each step to ensure you understand the process. Here is a general idea of how it works:
1. Initial Consultation
We start with an on-site visit to assess your pool’s current condition and discuss your vision. Our team will help determine whether your pool needs repairs or a full renovation.
2. Design and Planning
Our team creates a custom design plan based on your preferences. This includes selecting materials, features, and equipment upgrades. We provide a detailed timeline and cost estimate.
3. Execution
The Coastal Pools team will execute the renovation, following the highest standards of craftsmanship. We keep you informed at every stage to ensure your satisfaction.
3. Completion and Handover
Once the renovation is complete, we will conduct a thorough inspection and provide you with all the necessary information to maintain your newly renovated pool.


Maintaining Your Newly Renovated Pool
Proper maintenance of your newly renovated pool is crucial to ensure its longevity and to preserve its aesthetic appeal. Start by regularly checking and balancing the water chemistry, keeping pH levels and chlorine levels at the correct amount for your pool. This promotes a safe swimming environment and protects the pool’s surfaces from corrosion and scale build-up. Additionally, skimming the surface for debris, vacuuming the pool floor, and brushing the walls and tiles at least weekly will help maintain cleanliness. Remember to inspect your pool’s filtration system regularly and clean filters according to the manufacturer’s instructions to enhance efficiency. Also, consider covering your pool when not in use to keep out leaves and debris and minimize water evaporation. Regularly check for signs of wear and tear on the pool’s structure and consult a professional if any significant issues arise. With consistent care, your renovated pool will remain a beautiful centerpiece for relaxation and entertainment.

Very happy with our new pool by Coastal. Lee and his crew did a great job and were a pleasure to work with. Very responsive and informative. Lee was particularly helpful as the pool was being constructed mostly in our absence. Dani in the office was also great and kept us very informed throughout the process. I highly recommend them if you ever pursue a pool.Posted on Google![]()

We had a great experience with Coastal Pools. We took on this project with some degree of trepidation. It seems everyone on the internet, and even in person has a bad story to tell about building a pool. Our story is a success. Coastal Pools, in particular Lee Petty (project manager) and Dani Hurlburt (project coordinator) were responsive, efficient, and a pleasure to work with.Posted on Google![]()

I never dreamed that one day I would be able to build my own pool, and certainly never dreamed that I would now have one that is more beautiful than the one I imagined. Coastal Pools has been so easy to work with, from the beginning when I needed to figure out the size, shape, lining, and the different tiles, to the weekly service. I initially worked with Brad Hull and Lee Petty who helped with the design construction. There were many choices, but they have so many catalogs and pictures to look through that it was easy to get an idea as to what to order. Their service has been wonderful- my contact Dani Hurlbert gets back to me right away when I email with a concern; the service technicians, Tyler Mann and others, have kept the pool in excellent shape. I recommend getting the weekly service as they monitor the machines, as well as the chemicals. I highly recommend Coastal Pools.Posted on Google![]()

Our restoration process typically involves assessing the current condition of your pool, identifying any structural or cosmetic issues, and recommending appropriate solutions. These solutions may include pool resurfacing, updating pool equipment, repairing leaks, and upgrading pool decking. Our team of skilled professionals will work closely with you to ensure that your pool restoration project meets your specific needs, preferences, and budget.
What time of year is best to remodel a pool?
The ideal time to remodel a pool varies depending on your location and climate. However, we recommend scheduling your pool remodeling project during the fall or winter months. This period typically experiences milder weather, making it easier for our team to complete the renovation process efficiently. Additionally, undertaking a pool remodel during the off-season allows you to minimize any disruption to your swimming enjoyment, ensuring that your pool is ready for use when warmer temperatures return.
Is it expensive to change the shape of a pool?
Changing the shape of a pool can be a significant undertaking and may incur additional costs compared to a standard pool remodel. However, the exact expense depends on various factors, such as the size of your existing pool, the desired new shape, the materials used, and any necessary structural modifications.
Can you remodel a pool to make it bigger?
Expanding your pool’s size commonly involves extending the pool walls, modifying the surrounding pool deck, and upgrading the pool’s filtration and circulation systems to accommodate the increased water volume. Our team will carefully assess your existing pool and backyard space to determine the feasibility of expanding your pool while ensuring that the project meets local building codes and regulations.
How much does it cost to redo a pool?
The cost to redo a pool can vary significantly depending on the extent of the remodeling project and the size and complexity of your swimming pool. Common pool renovation tasks such as resurfacing, upgrading equipment, and improving pool decking can range from a few thousand dollars to tens of thousands.
