Pool Remodeling by Lalo's Tile & Coping

A pool renovation is a full refresh of everything you see and touch, done in one coordinated project. Most of the pools we remodel are structurally sound. The shell is fine and the plumbing works.

What's aged out is the finish: cracked coping, tile popping off the waterline, rough or stained plaster, dated stonework around the deck. A remodel takes a tired 15 or 20-year-old pool and makes it read brand new, at a fraction of the cost and disruption of tearing it out.

Most of our renovations are some mix of new waterline tile, fresh coping, and stonework around the deck and raised walls, with grout restoration where the pool needs it.

If the interior plaster or pebble is also due, we coordinate that surface scope with a finishing specialist so it all happens in the same drain cycle. We scope to what the pool actually needs. If a section is solid, we leave it and tell you so.

A real share of the renovations we run are fixing what another contractor got wrong. Tile set with the wrong adhesive that lets go in a season. Coping cracked because nobody left room for it to move. Grout mixed wrong, waterproofing skipped.

If your pool was retiled or recoped in the last few years and it's already failing, that's workmanship. We tear out what's wrong and rebuild it so it holds.

Bundling the work is where a renovation pays for itself. The pool is drained once, the crew mobilizes once, and the same hands do all the finish work so the tile, coping, and stone actually match.

Stretching it out, tile this year, coping in two, stone after that, costs more in total and leaves you with a yard that looks pieced together. One project, one timeline, one look.

Everything we install goes in to last in this climate. Real gaps that let the coping move, flexible bonding behind the tile, proper prep, and drainage on the deck. The work has to hold through the next 15 years of Texas summers and freezes.

Tile and coping alone takes 1 to 2 weeks. A full renovation with surface work runs 3 to 4 weeks. We measure your pool on site and give you a fixed price before anything starts.

A remodel is also the right moment to update the space around the pool, an outdoor kitchen, a fire feature, or new patio stone, so it all gets done together and matches.

We renovate pools across Dallas, Fort Worth, Plano, and Frisco. Every project starts with a free on-site estimate.

What our clients say

Lalo is super knowledgeable and helpful. He's always answered all my questions and been my go-to guy for anything pool related. Can't recommend him enough.

Homeowner, Dallas TX

These guys did our whole pool retile in four days. Showed up on time every morning, cleaned up every evening. The pool looks better than when it was new.

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.

Homeowner, Garland TX

Honest people, quality work. That's it. That's the review.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

If problems are showing in one spot, a cracked tile section or a couple of lifted coping stones, that is a [repair](/services/pool/pool-repair). When tile, coping, grout, and plaster are all wearing out at once, stacking separate repairs catches up to the cost of a renovation fast, and you end up draining the pool over and over. We walk you through that math on site so the choice is clear.

It depends on the mix of tile, coping, and surface work your pool needs, plus pool size and the materials you pick. We measure your pool on site and give you a fixed number after we see it.

Tile and coping only is usually 1 to 2 weeks. A full renovation that includes surface work runs 3 to 4 weeks. We give you the schedule before we start and keep you updated as it moves.

We do it constantly. The usual culprits are wrong adhesive, no gaps left for movement, bad surface prep, and grout mixed wrong. We tear out the failed work, fix the cause, and rebuild it properly so it lasts this time.

Our scope is tile, coping, and stonework. For interior surface refinishing we bring in a finishing specialist and coordinate it into the same drain cycle, so the whole renovation happens on one timeline.

Usually, yes. The expensive part of a pool, the shell and the plumbing, is generally still good at that age. It is the finishes that have worn out. New tile, coping, and stone make the pool look new for a fraction of what a replacement costs, and done right it holds for another 15 years.
