Stop Living With a Pool You Don't Love

You've seen your neighbor's transformed pool. Maybe you've scrolled through Instagram and envied someone's resort-style backyard. Then you look at yours—that turquoise tile from 1992, the stained plaster, equipment that sounds like a lawnmower. You avoid using it because guests might ask uncomfortable questions about the rough surface. Every time you think about hosting that party, you wonder if your pool will embarrass you.

Here's the frustrating part: you bought that house thinking the pool would be amazing. Maybe it was—for the first five years. But pools age visibly, and your outdated pool now feels like a liability rather than an asset.

The worst part? You think your only option is to tear everything out and start from scratch.

You're wrong. And that assumption is costing you tens of thousands of dollars.

Pool Resurfacing Project

Professional pool resurfacing transforms outdated surfaces into modern, beautiful finishes

The Truth About Pool Remodeling: Most outdated pools don't need replacement. They need the right remodeling strategy. Pool remodeling can often cost 40-50% less than building new while delivering results that look equally impressive.

Pool Remodeling Options That Fit Your Budget

Pool remodeling isn't one thing—it's whatever transformation your specific pool needs. Some homeowners want simple cosmetic updates (new tile, fresh plaster). Others have structural issues that require repair BEFORE aesthetic renovation. Many want to add features their pool never had—spas, water features, tanning ledges, automation systems.

We assess your pool honestly and explain what's necessary, what's optional, and what we recommend. Your budget guides our recommendations, not the other way around.

Option 1: Cosmetic Remodeling

When It Works Best:

Your pool's structure is solid, but it looks stuck in a previous decade. The equipment functions fine. You want dramatic visual transformation without major system upgrades.

What's Included:

  • Resurface with modern finishes (pebble, quartz, or premium plaster)
  • Replace outdated tile and coping with contemporary materials
  • Upgrade pool lighting to LED options
  • Refinish or replace pool deck
  • Update landscaping to complement your new pool aesthetic

The Timeline:

Typically 2-3 weeks from start to first swim. Weather dependent (no work during heavy rain during cure phase).

Pool Construction Project

Quality pool construction and remodeling creates spaces families enjoy for decades

Option 2: Functional Remodeling

When It Works Best:

Your pool looks dated AND the equipment is inefficient or constantly breaking down. You want both aesthetic improvement and operational efficiency.

What's Included:

  • Everything in Cosmetic Remodeling, PLUS:
  • Equipment upgrades (pumps, salt systems, heaters)
  • Automation systems for convenient control
  • Structural repairs (crack repair, reinforcement, leak fixes)
  • Plumbing upgrades for improved circulation and filtration

The Timeline:

Typically 3-5 weeks. Equipment sourcing and system integration add complexity.

Option 3: Comprehensive Remodeling

When It Works Best:

Complete transformation. Your pool needs everything or you want premium results that completely reimagine your backyard.

What's Included:

  • 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
  • Integrate outdoor living elements

The Timeline:

Typically 6-10 weeks. Complex projects with multiple elements require careful coordination.

Pool Resurfacing: The Foundation Every Remodel Needs

If your pool's surface is cracked, rough, or stained, the resurfacing is the critical first step. A quality surface makes everything else we do look better and last longer.

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 wash away (brown, gray, or green)
  • Plaster chipping off in chunks
  • Exposed aggregate or concrete showing through
  • Blotchy discoloration across the pool surface

Your pool's behavior changes:

  • Using more chemicals than normal (rough surface harbors algae)
  • Losing water beyond typical evaporation (leak indicator)
  • Difficulty maintaining proper pH balance
  • Frequent algae growth despite good chemical management

Resurfacing Materials Available

Pebble Tec® Finishes

Durable finish that lasts 15-20 years in Florida's climate. Pebble finishes resist staining and come in various colors including Caribbean Blue, Tahoe Blue, Beach Pebble, and Midnight Blue.

Quartz Aggregate Finishes

Smoother than pebble with a subtle sparkle effect. Typically lasts 12-15 years. Good middle option between budget and longevity.

Hydrazzo Polished Finishes

Premium option with a marble-like appearance. Incredibly smooth and durable. Found in luxury properties throughout South Florida.

Quality Marcite Plaster

Traditional plaster with modern polymer additives. Most affordable upfront option, typically lasts 10-12 years with proper maintenance.

The Resurfacing Process

Understanding the timeline helps you plan accordingly:

  • Day 1: Drain pool completely
  • Days 2-3: Remove old surface using specialized equipment
  • Day 4: Acid wash to remove residue, inspect underlying structure
  • Day 5: Bond coat application and final surface preparation
  • Day 6: New finish application (done in one continuous pour)
  • Days 7-9: Initial cure phase (surface kept properly moist)
  • Days 10-11: Fill pool and begin chemistry balancing
  • Day 12: Ready to swim (surface fully cured)

Quality craftsmanship ensures your pool remodeling lasts for years

Common Questions About Pool Remodeling

How much does pool remodeling actually cost?

Cost depends on your pool's size, existing conditions, and your desired outcome. Cosmetic remodeling generally ranges from $15,000-$35,000. Functional remodeling (with equipment upgrades) ranges from $35,000-$70,000. Comprehensive transformation can range from $70,000-$150,000+. The only way to know YOUR pool's specific cost is through an in-person assessment where we can see what you're working with.

How long does pool remodeling take?

Cosmetic remodeling typically takes 2-3 weeks. Functional remodeling takes 3-5 weeks. Comprehensive remodeling takes 6-10 weeks. Timeline depends on complexity and whether we discover unexpected structural issues during the process. Weather can also extend timelines during the curing phase of resurfacing.

What's the best time of year to remodel a pool in Boca Raton?

Fall (September-November) and spring (March-May) are ideal because you avoid peak summer heat (which affects material curing) and don't lose summer pool season. Winter is possible but weather delays are more likely. Summer is workable but requires scheduling around afternoon thunderstorms common in Florida.

Do I need a permit to remodel my pool in Boca Raton?

Yes. Any structural modification, equipment upgrade, or feature addition requires a permit from the City of Boca Raton. We handle all permitting—you don't need to worry about it. Proper permits ensure your work is inspected and meets code, protecting your home's value and safety.

Will a pool remodel increase my home's value?

A modern, well-maintained pool is a desirable feature for South Florida homes. Most pool improvements can add value to your property. More importantly, you and your family enjoy the remodeled pool immediately—any home value increase is just a bonus benefit.

What if you discover problems during the remodeling?

This happens sometimes. Structural issues, plumbing leaks, or equipment problems might not be obvious until we start work. We communicate immediately, explain the issue, recommend solutions, and provide revised pricing. We never proceed without your approval on additional work.

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.

  • Design Phase: 1 to 4 weeks
  • Permitting: 2 to 6 weeks
