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 community-run facilities open to the general public, usually managed by city or county parks departments. They are great for families or solo swimmers looking for an affordable way to cool off during the summer. Most operate on a seasonal schedule, so check your local government website to see if they are currently open before heading out. They typically offer daily entry fees or seasonal passes for frequent visitors.

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.
