Pool skimmer — New Haven, CT
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Remodeling costs depend on what you want to change. If you are just resurfacing, the price is lower than if you are adding structural features like tanning ledges, spas, or new lighting. The size of your pool, the depth, and the type of finish—such as plaster versus pebble—will shift your final bill. Upgrading your equipment or installing high-end tile also adds to the total. We evaluate your specific backyard setup to give you a solid number. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
The pool skimmer is the intake opening located at the water level that pulls surface debris into the filtration system. You need to check your skimmer basket regularly to ensure it is not clogged with leaves or insects, which can restrict water flow to the pump. If the basket is cracked or missing, it should be replaced immediately to protect your equipment. We can help you find the right fit for your skimmer housing.
Remodeling during the summer is possible, though it means your pool will be out of commission while you might want to use it most. Some homeowners prefer to tackle smaller repairs or equipment upgrades during this time to keep the pool functional. If you don't mind a brief pause in swimming, it is a great time to see the crew in action under perfect daylight conditions.
Frequently asked in New Haven
Is it worth it to resurface my pool in New Haven?

What's the difference between pool remodeling and just fixing a leak?
Pool remodeling is a comprehensive upgrade, often including resurfacing, tile work, and sometimes even changes to the pool's shape or features. Fixing a leak is a targeted repair to address a specific water loss issue. While resurfacing can address certain types of leaks caused by surface damage, it’s a much larger project than a simple patch.

Several factors influence the cost of pool resurfacing in New Haven. The size and depth of your pool are primary. The type of finish you choose, such as plaster, tile, or aggregate, also plays a role. Any necessary repairs to the existing structure before resurfacing begins will add to the overall price.
