A lot of the coping we replace in Richardson is original to the pool, which in neighborhoods like Richardson Heights and Canyon Creek often means it's 30, 40, even 50 years old. Once the cap starts cracking through stones or lifting at the corners, it's reached the end of its run. Water gets underneath and works into the pool wall below, so the longer it sits the more it spreads.
We replace coping across Richardson before it gets that far. We lift the old stone without tearing up the deck or the tile below, clean the edge, and set new coping level and true, so the pool looks finished again and the water stays out.
The piece that makes it last is the expansion joint between the cap and the deck, along with flexible bonding behind it. That's the detail most original Richardson installs from the 60s through the 80s skipped, which is exactly why the old cap cracked in the first place. We build it in this time.
Travertine is what most Richardson homeowners choose now. It stays cool underfoot through the summer and takes freeze and thaw without flaking. Bullnose concrete is the more affordable edge. We bring samples to set against your deck.
If the coping is going, the waterline tile is often due too, and handling both on one drain is worth asking about. For a pool that needs more than tile and coping, see our Richardson pool renovation.
So if your coping's cracked or lifting, give us a call or fill out the form, and we'll get you a free quote to get the edge of your pool looking new again.

FAQ
Pool Coping in Richardson, answered
Original coping this old is almost always past the point of patching. Once it's cracked through in more than a spot or two, full replacement holds up better and matches, since new stone rarely blends with 50 years of weathering. We'll tell you straight if a partial fix would actually hold.
Travertine for most homeowners. It stays cool on bare feet in summer and handles our freezes. Bullnose concrete is the more affordable option, and natural stone suits the older brick homes around Richardson Heights.
Most original Richardson installs from the 60s through the 80s skipped the expansion joint. With nowhere to move as temperatures swing, the cap cracks and lifts, and water finishes the job from below. We build in a real joint and flexible bonding so the new cap holds.
Most Richardson pools take a few days, including tearing out the old cap and letting the base set. Pools with a raised wall or a spa edge run a little longer. We give you the schedule up front.
