Above ground pools — Columbia, SC
Last updated: September 24, 2026
What affects the price
Remodeling costs depend on the scope of the project. Simply resurfacing your pool is significantly cheaper than a full overhaul that includes changing the layout, adding features like a spa, or installing new tile and coping. The materials you choose—such as standard plaster versus high-end aggregate finishes—also shift the total. Additionally, the current condition of your plumbing and pool equipment plays a big role; updating old systems adds to the labor and parts required. Every backyard has unique access challenges that can influence the final bill. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
About this service
These are portable or semi-permanent structures that sit directly on the ground rather than being dug into the earth. They are a practical choice if you want a swimming area without the major construction project of an in-ground build. Pricing depends on the wall material, filtration setup, and deck additions. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.
Remodeling during the summer is possible, though it means you will be out of the water while the work is underway. If you are already planning a long vacation or have alternative swimming options, this is a fine time to handle equipment upgrades or aesthetic fixes that you missed earlier in the year.
