Comprehensive Pool Renovation Services
Pool renovation is more than patchwork — it’s a complete transformation of your pool area to improve safety, appearance, and long-term performance. We evaluate structure, materials, and pool design to recommend durable solutions that suit Knoxville and Knox County weather conditions.

Every project begins with a thorough consultation at your property so our team can assess the existing pool area, document issues, and align on goals and budget. That on-site review lets us create a clear plan — for example, a recent deck-and-finish update in West Knoxville completed in three weeks after inspection and permitting.
Structural Renovations
Foundation and shell work restore safety and function. We repair concrete and gunite pools to stop leaks and stabilize the structure, using proven construction methods and quality materials.
- Concrete surface repair and resurfacing — restores durability and appearance
- Gunite shell restoration and reinforcement — brings structural integrity back to older pools
- Leak detection and waterproofing systems — prevents water loss and protects surrounding soil
- Structural crack repair using advanced materials — long-lasting fixes that reduce rework
Surface and Finish Updates
Finishes define the look and feel of your swimming pool. We install finishes selected for longevity and low maintenance that withstand freeze-thaw cycles and summer heat.
- Plaster and aggregate finish application — choose bright classic plaster or durable pebble/aggregate for longevity
- Tile replacement and design upgrades — refreshed waterline tile improves aesthetics and eases cleaning
- Coping material selection and installation — durable coping ties the deck to the pool edge with lasting performance
- Waterline maintenance and restoration — prevents staining and keeps the pool looking new



If you’re ready to discuss options for your pool deck, finishes, or structural work, schedule a consultation and our designers will provide a site-specific plan and estimate tailored to your pool construction needs.
Pool Deck Remodeling Excellence
Your pool deck is the stage for outdoor living—when it’s cracked, stained, or uneven it creates safety hazards and detracts from your property’s curb appeal. Thoughtful pool deck remodeling restores function while elevating style so your backyard becomes a safer, more inviting pool area.



We remove damaged deck materials and install durable finishes chosen for Knoxville’s climate. The result blends safety features, lasting materials, and cohesive pool design so your deck works beautifully with the rest of your outdoor space.
Material Selection
Choose from concrete, natural stone, pavers, and modern aggregate finishes. Each option balances durability, maintenance, and cost—concrete offers affordability and custom patterns, while natural stone brings timeless elegance.
Design Integration
Our designs complement your home’s architecture and pool construction. We align colors, textures, and layout so the deck, coping, and pool finish form a cohesive outdoor living area.
Safety Features
Non-slip finishes and correct slope/drainage reduce slip risk and prolong material life. We specify surfacing and expansion joints that meet safety standards and local conditions.
Concrete remains a popular choice for pool deck construction because it can be stamped, textured, or colored to achieve high-end looks at reasonable cost. Modern concrete finishes resist wear and provide design flexibility for custom patterns and integrated lighting.



Natural stone such as travertine and flagstone offers a cool, comfortable surface in direct sun and ages gracefully with minimal maintenance. Pavers give you flexible patterns and make spot repairs simple when only small areas are affected.
When selecting materials, we weigh durability, maintenance needs, and aesthetic goals to recommend the best solution for your pool deck and overall backyard design. If you’d like a tailored recommendation, our designers can review your space and provide material samples and cost comparisons.

Modern Design Features for Your Pool
Contemporary pool design blends form and function to increase enjoyment and property value. Upgrading your pool with modern features makes your backyard more beautiful, easier to maintain, and more usable year‑round.



Lighting Systems
LED lighting systems transform pools after dark by improving ambiance and safety while using less energy. Color‑changing LEDs add entertainment value and can be programmed through automation systems for schedules or scenes.
- Underwater LEDs highlight clear water and finishes
- Deck and path lighting improve safety around the pool area
- Color control enhances evening ambiance for gatherings
Water Features
Waterfalls, fountains, and deck jets create a resort‑style atmosphere and mask neighborhood noise. Modern pumps and properly sized plumbing keep these features efficient and low‑maintenance.
- Waterfalls and sheer descents add visual impact
- Deck jets and bubblers provide motion and sound in shallow areas
- Integrated water features can be controlled with automation systems



Extend your swimming season with efficient heating options: gas and electric heaters heat quickly, while solar systems lower operating costs and reduce environmental impact. Automation systems tie lighting, heating, and cleaning together so you control everything from a smartphone.



Saltwater Systems
Saltwater chlorination provides gentle sanitization with reduced chemical handling — many owners report easier maintenance and more comfortable swimming experiences.



Efficient Equipment
Variable speed pumps and advanced filters reduce energy use and improve water quality. Upgrading equipment is one of the most cost‑effective ways to lower annual operating expenses.



Automated Cleaning
Robotic cleaners and in‑floor systems reduce daily maintenance so you spend more time swimming and less time cleaning.
Premium Materials for Lasting Quality
Choosing the right materials is critical to long‑term performance. We source premium products designed for Knoxville’s freeze‑thaw cycles and summer heat so your renovation lasts for years with minimal upkeep.



Gunite Pool Construction
Gunite is a durable concrete method for pool construction and renovation, forming watertight shells that support complex shapes and long service life. Our technicians apply and cure gunite to industry standards to ensure a strong foundation for your pool finish.



Surface Finishes
Surface finish choices affect aesthetics and maintenance. Classic plaster brightens water, while aggregate finishes (pebble, quartz, or glass) offer enhanced durability and stain resistance for long‑term performance.
When selecting finishes, we consider appearance, slip resistance, and lifecycle cost so your pool surface suits both your design and maintenance expectations.



Tile and Coping
Waterline tile prevents staining and simplifies cleaning; porcelain and glass tiles offer durable, attractive options. Coping caps the pool edge and must withstand constant exposure — we recommend materials that balance grip, comfort, and longevity.
Natural stone coping adds elegance, while precast concrete provides consistent sizing and cost predictability. Each choice impacts maintenance and overall finish quality.
Understanding Your Pool Renovation Investment
A pool renovation is an investment in your property’s value and daily enjoyment. Knowing the main cost drivers helps you plan a project that matches your goals and budget while delivering long‑term benefits.



Baseline costs depend largely on project scope: simple pool deck remodeling is typically less expensive than full pool reconstruction or extensive gunite repairs. Adding premium finishes, lighting systems, or water features increases the project cost but can significantly improve long‑term value and enjoyment.
Material selection is a major factor. Premium finishes and natural stone cost more up front but often reduce maintenance and extend the life of the pool surface, providing better value over time.
Major Value Drivers
- Material and finish quality (aggregate, tile, coping)
- Equipment upgrades (variable speed pumps, efficient heaters)
- Design features (lighting, water features, automation)
- Structural work (gunite repairs, concrete resurfacing)
- Permitting and site preparation
Long-Term Benefits
- Reduced maintenance time and expense
- Lower operating costs from efficient systems
- Improved property appeal and resale potential
- Greater family enjoyment and more frequent use
- Extended service life delaying full replacement
Cost Considerations
- Project size and complexity
- Site accessibility and required prep work
- Choice of materials and custom designs
- Feature additions like heating or automation
- Permit timelines and local code requirements
Quality construction protects your investment—cutting corners can lead to costly repairs later. Our team provides transparent estimates and explains tradeoffs so you can choose the right balance of cost, finish, and longevity for your property.

Maintaining Your Renovated Pool
Proper maintenance preserves your renovation investment and keeps your swimming pool safe and inviting. Prioritize water chemistry and filtration first — these critical systems protect finishes, equipment, and swimmer comfort so you get the most enjoyment from your pool.



Essential Maintenance Tasks
Keep the basics consistent: balanced chemistry protects surfaces and equipment, while routine cleaning prevents staining and algae. Test your water regularly and maintain proper sanitizer and pH levels to extend the life of finishes and reduce repair needs.
Brush and skim frequently during heavy use periods, and follow an equipment check routine to catch problems early.
Weekly Maintenance
- Test and adjust water chemistry (pH, sanitizer, alkalinity)
- Brush pool walls and floor to prevent buildup
- Empty skimmer and pump baskets to preserve flow
- Vacuum or run automatic cleaner as needed
- Quick equipment check: pump operation, leaks, and unusual noises
Seasonal Care
- Deep clean or backwash filters quarterly
- Inspect coping and tile for cracks or grout issues
- Service heaters and check thermostats before the season
- Check for leaks, structural concerns, or finish wear
- Winterize equipment and lines properly when applicable
Equipment maintenance — especially keeping filters and pumps clean — extends system life and maintains water quality. Simple tasks like emptying pump baskets and keeping adequate circulation prevent many common failures.



When to call the pros: if you see persistent cloudiness, unexplained water loss, cracked coping, or hear suspicious equipment noises. Annual professional inspections by our trained technicians catch wear before it becomes a costly repair. Ask about our maintenance plans for regular service and priority scheduling.
