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

The pool skimmer is an intake system built into your pool wall that pulls surface water through a basket to trap leaves, bugs, and oils before they sink. If your skimmer basket is constantly overflowing or water isn't circulating properly, the system might be clogged or damaged. Keeping this clear is essential for good filtration. If you need a repair or a replacement basket, we handle those parts. 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.
