What Pool Remodeling Actually Means

Pool remodeling isn’t one thing—it’s whatever transformation your pool needs. Some Boca Raton homeowners want simple cosmetic updates (new tile, fresh plaster). Others need structural repairs plus complete aesthetic renovation. Many want to add features their pool never had.

Here’s how we think about pool remodeling projects:

Cosmetic Remodeling (Budget: $15,000-$35,000)

This is surface-level transformation that delivers dramatic visual impact:

What we do:

  • Resurface with modern finishes (pebble, quartz, or premium plaster)
  • Replace outdated tile and coping
  • Upgrade pool lighting to LED
  • Refinish or replace pool deck
  • Update landscaping around the pool

Perfect for: Pools with solid structure but dated aesthetics. Your pool works fine; it just looks like it’s stuck in a different decade.

Timeline: Typically 2-3 weeks

Result: Your pool looks brand new. Neighbors will think you built from scratch.

Functional Remodeling ($35,000-$70,000)

This goes beyond aesthetics to improve how your pool actually works:

What we do:

  • Everything in cosmetic remodeling, PLUS:
  • Equipment upgrades (variable-speed pumps, salt systems, heaters)
  • Automation systems (control everything from your phone)
  • Structural repairs (crack repair, beam reinforcement, leak fixes)
  • Plumbing upgrades (improve circulation, add jets, better filtration)

Perfect for: Pools that look dated AND have equipment that’s inefficient or constantly breaking down.

Timeline: Typically 3-5 weeks

Result: Pool that looks modern and operates efficiently with dramatically lower energy costs.

Comprehensive Remodeling ($70,000-$150,000+)

This is complete transformation—changing both aesthetics and functionality while adding major features:

What we do:

  • Everything in functional remodeling, PLUS:
  • Add spa (attached or separate)
  • Install tanning ledges or beach entries
  • Create water features (waterfalls, sheer descents, deck jets)
  • Expand or reshape the pool
  • Build or upgrade pool decks with premium materials
  • Integrate fire features, outdoor kitchens, or pergolas

Perfect for: Pools that need everything—or homeowners who want resort-quality results that completely reimagine their backyard.

Timeline: Typically 6-10 weeks

Result: Your backyard becomes the envy of the neighborhood. Complete outdoor living transformation.

Pool Resurfacing: The Foundation of Any Remodel

If your pool’s surface is cracked, rough, or stained, resurfacing is non-negotiable. Everything else we do looks better and lasts longer when built on a quality surface.

Signs Your Boca Raton Pool Needs Resurfacing

You can feel it:

  • Surface feels rough like sandpaper on bare feet
  • Sharp or abrasive patches where plaster has worn away
  • Uncomfortable to walk on or lean against pool walls

You can see it:

  • Spiderweb cracks across the plaster
  • Stains that won’t brush or acid-wash away (brown, gray, green)
  • Plaster chipping off in chunks
  • Exposed aggregate or concrete showing through
  • Discoloration or blotchy appearance

Your pool’s behavior changes:

  • Using more chemicals than normal (rough surface harbors algae)
  • Losing water beyond typical evaporation
  • Difficulty maintaining proper pH balance
  • Frequent algae growth even with good chemistry

Resurfacing Materials We Install in Boca Raton

Pebble Tec® Finishes This is what we recommend for most Boca Raton pool remodeling projects. Pebble finishes last 15-20 years in Florida’s climate—nearly twice as long as plaster. They resist staining, feel smooth (despite the texture), and come in dozens of colors.

Yes, pebble costs more upfront than plaster. But you won’t be resurfacing again for nearly two decades. That’s one resurfacing job versus two or three plaster jobs over the same timeframe.

Popular Pebble Tec colors in Boca Raton:

  • Caribbean Blue (classic pool blue with modern shimmer)
  • Tahoe Blue (deeper blue, very popular in luxury homes)
  • Beach Pebble (natural tan/beige for lagoon-style pools)
  • Midnight Blue (dramatic dark finish for contemporary designs)

Quartz Aggregate Finishes Smoother than pebble, more durable than plaster. Quartz finishes typically last 12-15 years in Boca Raton’s sun and are a good middle option between budget and longevity.

Quartz includes tiny quartz crystals mixed into the finish, creating a subtle sparkle effect in sunlight. Popular choice for families who want smooth surfaces but better durability than standard plaster.

Hydrazzo Polished Finishes Premium option that feels like polished marble. Incredibly smooth, beautiful, and durable. We see this in high-end Boca Raton properties—The Sanctuary, Royal Palm, luxury waterfront homes.

Hydrazzo costs more than pebble but delivers a unique aesthetic nothing else can match. If your home is luxury-tier, this finish matches that standard.

Quality Marcite Plaster Traditional plaster is still viable if budget is the priority. Modern plaster formulations (with polymer additives) last longer than old-school plaster—typically 10-12 years with proper maintenance.

Plaster costs less upfront, which works when you need to spread your remodeling budget across multiple upgrades. Just understand you’ll be resurfacing sooner.

The Resurfacing Process

Day 1: Drain pool completely Days 2-3: Remove old surface (chip it away with specialized equipment) Day 4: Acid wash, repair any underlying structural issues Day 5: Bond coat application, final prep Day 6: New finish application (must be done in one continuous pour) Days 7-9: Initial cure, keep surface moist Days 10-11: Fill pool, balance chemistry carefully Day 12: Start swimming

Total time: 12-14 days typically. Weather can extend this slightly if we get heavy rain during the cure period.

Why Choose Epic Watershapes for Pool Remodeling in Boca Raton?

We’ve Seen Every Pool Problem

Over a decade of pool remodeling in Boca Raton means we’ve encountered every issue imaginable. Cracked beams? Fixed hundreds. Leaking plumbing? We know every trick to locate and repair it. Outdated equipment? We can upgrade anything.

This experience matters when you’re remodeling an existing structure. New construction is straightforward. Remodeling requires problem-solving—figuring out what’s wrong, why it happened, and how to fix it permanently while improving aesthetics and functionality.

We Tell You What You Actually Need

During your consultation, we’ll assess your pool honestly:

  • “Your equipment is fine—just needs aesthetic updates”
  • “The plumbing needs replacing before we resurface”
  • “You could add a spa here, but it would work better over there”

We explain what’s necessary, what’s optional, and what we recommend—then let you decide. Your budget, your priorities, your pool.

Frequently Asked Questions About Pool Remodeling in Boca Raton

Let's be straight—this is the first question everyone asks, and it's the hardest to answer without seeing your property.

That said, here's a general range:

  • Basic pool (no frills, standard shape, minimal features): $50,000-$70,000
  • Mid-range pool (some custom features, nice finishes, LED lighting): $70,000-$100,000
  • High-end custom pool (infinity edge, spa, tanning ledge, premium everything): $100,000-$200,000+

What affects the price? Size, depth, soil conditions, access to your backyard, features you add, and finishes you choose. The only way to get an accurate number is to have us come out and assess your specific situation.

We'll give you a detailed quote—not a vague estimate that changes every week. Call (561) 500-EPIC to schedule your free consultation.

Most pool construction projects take 8-12 weeks from the day we break ground to the day you're swimming.

Here's the typical timeline:

  • Week 1: Layout, excavation, steel installation
  • Week 2-3: Plumbing, electrical, gunite application
  • Week 4-6: Tile, coping, equipment installation
  • Week 7-8: Decking, cleanup, landscaping
  • Week 9-10: Water fill, startup, final adjustments

Weather can slow things down (we can't pour concrete in the rain). Permit delays happen occasionally. And if you're adding complex features, it might take a bit longer. But we'll give you a realistic timeline upfront, and we stick to it.

Honestly? Anytime. Boca Raton's weather lets us build year-round.

That said, most people start projects in fall or winter so everything's ready by summer. If you wait until March to start planning, you might not be swimming until next season.

Our advice: Start the conversation now. Even if you're not ready to break ground immediately, getting permits and designs finalized takes time. Call (561) 500-EPIC and let's get on the calendar.

Yes, absolutely. And trying to skip permits is a terrible idea that'll come back to bite you when you try to sell your house.

Good news: We handle all the permitting for you. We've worked with the City of Boca Raton for years, we know exactly what they require, and we manage the entire process. You won't have to set foot in a government office.

In South Florida? Definitely. A well-designed pool can add $50,000-$100,000 to your home's value—sometimes more in luxury markets like Boca Raton.

But here's the thing: Don't build a pool just for resale value. Build it because you'll use it and love it. The financial return is a nice bonus, but the real value is the memories you create with family and friends.

Absolutely. Some of our most creative work happens in tight spaces.

Cocktail pools (also called plunge pools) are perfect for smaller yards. They're usually 10-12 feet long, deep enough to cool off and relax, but they don't take over your entire backyard. We've built dozens in Boca Raton townhomes and smaller lots.

Building a custom inground pool in West Palm Beach typically takes 12 to 16 weeks from start to finish. However, this timeline can vary depending on factors such as design complexity, pool type, material selection, permitting, and weather conditions.

Here’s a general breakdown of the pool construction process:

  • Design Phase: 1 to 4 weeks
  • Permitting: 2 to 6 weeks
  • Excavation: Approximately 1 week
  • Steel, Plumbing, and Electrical Work: 1 to 2 weeks
  • Shell Installation (Gunite, Fiberglass, or Vinyl): 1 to 3 weeks
  • Finishing Touches (Landscaping, Hardscaping, Custom Features): 1 to 4 weeks

Certain factors can affect the timeline. For example, concrete (gunite) pools may take longer due to the curing process, Additionally, weather conditions like heavy rain can cause delays, particularly during the excavation phase.
