SIGNS YOUR POOL NEEDS A REMODEL

Rough or Stained PlasterYour interior finish is rough to the touch, discolored, or showing dark stain spots that won’t come clean.

Cracked or Falling TileWaterline tile is popping off, cracked, or the grout is deteriorating and letting water behind.

Cracked or Heaving DeckYour pool deck is cracking, lifting, or the surface has become dangerously slippery or worn down.

High Energy BillsOld single-speed pumps and inefficient equipment are costing you hundreds more per year than modern systems.

Outdated LookYour pool was built 10-20+ years ago and the design, colors, and features feel dated compared to modern pools.

Safety ConcernsMissing or non-compliant drain covers, broken lights, sharp edges, or failing fencing need immediate attention.

REMODEL FAQ

Pool remodel costs vary widely based on scope. A basic replaster runs $5,000 to $12,000 depending on pool size and finish selected. Tile and coping replacement typically costs $3,000 to $8,000. A complete remodel with new interior finish, tile, coping, deck resurfacing, and equipment upgrades can range from $15,000 to $50,000 or more. We provide detailed proposals with transparent pricing after assessing your pool.

Timeline depends on the scope of work. A replaster typically takes 1 to 2 weeks. Tile and coping replacement runs 1 to 3 weeks. A comprehensive remodel including deck resurfacing and equipment upgrades usually takes 3 to 6 weeks. We’ll give you a specific timeline during the proposal phase and keep you updated throughout construction.

Yes. Adding a spa to an existing pool is one of our most popular remodel projects. It requires structural engineering, excavation adjacent to the existing pool shell, new plumbing and electrical connections, and finish matching. The process typically takes 4 to 8 weeks and costs $12,000 to $25,000 depending on size, style, and features.

Standard plaster is the most affordable option but typically lasts 5 to 7 years before needing resurfacing. Pebble finishes like NPT Mini Pebble or PebbleTec PebbleSheen cost more upfront but last 10 to 15+ years, resist staining better, and provide a more luxurious appearance. For a remodel, we generally recommend pebble finishes since the long-term value outweighs the upfront cost difference.

It depends on the work. Equipment upgrades, some tile repairs, and deck work can be done with water in the pool. However, replastering, full tile replacement, and structural repairs require draining the pool. We coordinate the drain-and-fill timeline carefully to minimize the time your pool is empty, which is especially important in Arizona’s heat to prevent shell damage.

Absolutely. A well-executed pool remodel can increase your home’s value significantly — especially in Arizona where pools are a major selling feature. Updating the interior finish, adding modern tile and coping, upgrading to energy-efficient equipment, and refreshing the deck makes your pool look and function like new, which directly impacts buyer perception and home appraisal value.

Whether your pool needs a simple refresh or a complete transformation, Arizona Pool Builders has the expertise to make it happen. Licensed, insured, and bonded — ROC 344023.
