From Outdated to Outstanding: A Stunning Pool Remodel Makeover 

There’s nothing quite like the transformation of a tired, outdated pool into a sparkling backyard oasis. Our latest project is a testament to how thoughtful remodeling and quality craftsmanship can breathe new life into a space.  

Here’s how we transformed one client’s aging pool into the centerpiece of their outdoor living area: 

Step 1: The Beginning

When we first arrived, the pool had seen better days. Leaves and debris cluttered the water, the tilework around the pool was outdated, and the spa tiles had lost their shine. While the layout still had potential, the entire setup needed a serious refresh.

Step 2: Chipping Out the Old

Our remodel began with the chipping out phase. We removed the old, worn-out tiles and prepped the surface for a full transformation. This is one of the most critical steps to ensure a strong foundation for new materials.

Step 3: Fresh New Tile Installation

Next, we installed brand-new tile around the pool and spa. This step made an immediate visual impact, replacing the outdated look with clean lines and a refreshed design that complements the overall aesthetic while providing durability. 

Step 4: New Features

To enhance functionality and create a resort-style feel, we added a custom, in-ground pool table. Now, the homeowners can enjoy a drink or a snack right in the water, perfect for entertaining or simply unwinding in the sun! 

Step 5: Safety and Convenience

For added safety and accessibility, we installed a sturdy handrail. It provides extra support for anyone entering or exiting the pool and seamlessly blends with the updated design. 

Step 6: Fresh Plaster, Fresh Look 

With all structural changes in place, it was time to re-plaster the pool. We applied a smooth, new coat of plaster, giving the entire interior a clean, modern finish. This step is not only aesthetic but also vital for durability and water quality.
