A lot of Murphy's pools went in during the 90s and 2000s building boom, and that original cap has now weathered 15 to 25 Texas summers and winters. The signs show up the same way every time: cracked stones, edges that have lifted, and gaps between the coping and the deck where water gets in. Replacing that cap is one of the most common jobs we run in Murphy.
It's usually not as bad as it looks. We pull the old cap without damaging the deck or tile underneath, clean the edge, and set new coping level and true so the edge of your pool looks finished again.
The detail that makes it last is a real expansion joint left behind the stone so it can move without cracking, something a lot of these older Murphy pools never got the first time around. We build that in so the new cap holds.
Travertine is the cap most Murphy homeowners move to. It stays cool underfoot in a Texas summer and handles freeze thaw without spalling. Bullnose concrete is the value option, and natural stone is the custom route. Our crew has been setting coping across Collin County for over 20 years. We bring samples to your deck so you choose in real light.
If the coping's failing on a pool this age, the waterline tile almost always is too, so handling both on one drain saves you a return trip. For a full refresh, see our Murphy pool renovation.

FAQ
Pool Coping in Murphy, answered
Years of Texas weather plus an original install that didn't leave room for the coping to move. Without a gap, the cap cracks and lifts, and water works in from below. We rebuild with a real expansion joint so the new cap holds.
Travertine is what most homeowners here choose. It stays cool in the summer and handles winter freeze thaw well. Bullnose concrete costs less, and natural stone is the custom option. We bring samples so you see it against your own deck first.
No, not when it's done right. We pull the old cap carefully so the deck and tile underneath stay intact, then set the new coping on a clean, level edge.
If both are near the same age, yes. Doing them together means one drain and one disruption.
