Pool Coping Replacement in Fort Worth

Travertine, bull nose, and natural stone coping for Fort Worth pools. New installs and full replacement.

When the cap on the edge of your pool starts cracking through stones or lifting at the corners, that is coping reaching the end of its run. On Fort Worth's older west-side pools especially, decades of heat and the occasional hard freeze pull the original cap apart, and once water slips underneath it heads for the bond beam. We replace coping across the city before it gets that far.

Replacing the cap means lifting the old stone without tearing up the deck or the tile below, cleaning the bond beam, and setting new coping level and true. The piece that decides whether it lasts is the expansion joint between the cap and the deck plus flexible bonding behind it. That joint is what most original Fort Worth installs left out, which is exactly why the old cap cracked. We put it back to PHTA standards.

Travertine is the cap most Fort Worth homeowners choose now. It stays cool underfoot through a Tarrant County summer where concrete would burn, and it takes freeze-thaw without flaking. Bullnose concrete is the value edge, clean and rounded. Natural stone matches the established stone homes out in Westover Hills and Rivercrest. We set samples on your deck so the choice is made in daylight.

Travertine generally runs about $20 to $35 per linear foot installed, which puts a typical Fort Worth pool around $2,000 to $5,000 for full replacement. Bullnose concrete sits lower. Most jobs take 3 to 5 days including tearout and set time before the deck takes traffic. Raised walls and spa edges add time. We measure and quote a fixed number on site.

If the coping is going, the waterline tile usually is too, and handling both on one drain saves real money. For a tired pool top to bottom, see our Fort Worth pool renovation or the full Fort Worth pool services. We cover all of Fort Worth and Tarrant County, with a free on-site estimate to start.
