Pool Renovation in Fort Worth

Full pool renovation for Fort Worth pools. Retile, new coping, and surface work. Fixing what time and other contractors got wrong.

Fort Worth has thousands of pools built 15 to 25 years ago, and most of the renovation work we do is on the established west side: Ridglea Hills, Westover Hills, Mira Vista, and Rivercrest. These are good pools with sound shells whose finishes have simply worn out, and a full renovation brings them back without the cost of a new build.

A Fort Worth renovation is usually some combination of a retile, new coping, grout restoration, and stonework around the deck, with bond beam repair where the pool needs it. We scope to the pool in front of us. If part of it is still solid, we leave it and say so.

A lot of the calls here are to fix work that did not hold. Tile set with the wrong adhesive, coping cracked from a missing expansion joint, grout that failed in a season. If a recent job is already coming apart, that is workmanship, and we tear it out and rebuild it right.

Doing it all on one drain is where the money is saved. The crew mobilizes once and the same hands match the tile, coping, and stone. Spreading the work across separate years runs more in total and leaves the yard looking assembled in pieces. Everything goes in to PHTA standards with real expansion joints and proper prep, so it holds for the next 15 years.

A tile and coping remodel typically runs $5,000 to $12,000 over 1 to 2 weeks; add surface work and it is $10,000 to $25,000 and 3 to 4 weeks. A remodel is also the moment to update the rest of the yard, an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature, or new patio stone, all matched and done together. We renovate across Fort Worth and Tarrant County, starting with a free on-site estimate.
