Cracked tile, grout gone soft, a calcium ring that won't scrub off, these show up fast on a University Park pool that's been in the ground since your grandparents' era. That's exactly the tile work we handle.
A lot of these pools sit on small, tight lots near Snider Plaza and the SMU area, and many were retiled once already by whoever owned the house before you. The job is reading what's there and matching new tile to the old pattern so there's no visible line.
We've retiled pools across University Park for 20 years, and we work from the existing design. Glass mosaic is what most homeowners here ask for, natural stone keeps the line steady against stone decking, and porcelain is the value option when the budget calls for it.
We drain the pool, strip the failed tile and grout to a sound surface, and set the new tile dead level along the water. We bring samples to the house so you're choosing against your real plaster and deck.
Plan on 3 to 5 days on site for a waterline job, 1 to 2 weeks for a full retile. Want a real number for your pool? Fill out the form for a free on-site estimate, or see the rest of our University Park pool work.

Homeowner, Plano TX
“We've used Lalo's on three builds now. They just get it done. No drama, no excuses. That's hard to find with subs.”
Pool Builder, DFW
“Lalo came out himself to look at our coping. Didn't try to upsell us on stuff we didn't need. Just told us what needed fixing and gave us a fair price.”
Homeowner, Fort Worth TX
“Had another company do our tile and it started falling off after one summer. Lalo's crew came in, tore it out, and redid the whole thing. Should have called them first.”

FAQ
Pool Tile in University Park, answered
An original waterline like that usually has old-style tile that's hard to source new. We'll show you the closest matches before ordering, or if you'd rather update the look entirely, we bring samples so you can see it against your actual plaster first.
Usually, yes. We pull from a wide supplier network for matching or close-matching tile and stone. If the original run is discontinued, we'll lay out the nearest options so you can decide whether to blend the patch or redo the full waterline.
Regularly. University Park projects often run through a designer given the age and value of the homes, and we build the tile scope from their plans while flagging anything that won't hold up through a Dallas summer.
A waterline retile runs 3 to 5 days on site plus dry time. A full retile is 1 to 2 weeks depending on size and how much prep the old surface needs. We never rush that prep, since that's where failures start on older pools.
