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

These are public-access facilities funded by local governments or non-profits that do not charge an entry fee. People search for these when they need an affordable way to exercise or beat the heat during summer. Availability varies by region, and these spots often operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Checking your local city parks and recreation website is the most reliable way to find which pools in your area are open to the public without cost.

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.
