"I needed a complete pool/spa PebbleTec resurface. I called PebbleTec and they said the only company they recommend is Swimming Pool Service and Repair. I had Bert come over and give me an estimate. From my first meeting until the finished product, Bert was outstanding! The technician, Don, is diligent and will make sure things are done right. I went with a Pebblesheen and accent tile. All done with incredible craftsmanship. Highly recommended!!" - Don C. from Chandler -Yelp Review-
Every Swimming Pool Service & Repair supervisor has over twenty years of hands-on pool remodeling experience in the Phoenix metro. Each one has completed hundreds of projects. We are not a pool builder, we specialize in remodeling and repairing existing pools. Walking onto a 25-year-old pool with unknown plumbing, structural surprises, and previous bad work takes a different kind of experience than building from a blank slab. We have 69 years of that experience.
Our core crews handle your project from start to finish. During peak season, we lean on decade-long trade partnerships to keep timelines tight without sacrificing quality. We own our land, our warehouses, our trucks, and our inventory, no debt, no landlord, no lender telling us to cut corners. When we give you an estimate, the price is real. We seldom do change orders. If we find an unexpected problem mid-job, we fix it and absorb the cost. That is how we have survived since 1957, and it is why 80% of our work comes from repeat customers and referrals.
The Pool Remodeling Process — What to Expect
Your pool remodel starts with a free on-site consultation. We inspect the surface, tile, coping, equipment, plumbing, and structural condition of your pool. Then we give you a written estimate with exact pricing — not a range pulled from the internet. A basic pool remodel in Phoenix (resurface, tile, and coping) runs $15,000 to $25,000. Mid-range with equipment upgrades, lighting, and deck work runs $25,000 to $45,000. A full pool renovation runs $45,000 to $65,000+. We include everything we can see needs attention in the estimate. Competitors advertise a sticker price that does not include necessary plumbing or items that are about to fail — then hit you with change orders or skip the work entirely. We do not bid blind and we do not quote blind. Once you approve the scope, we get to scheduling.
Design Consultation and Estimate
We drain your pool to the sewer clean-out in accordance with Arizona's pool drain ordinance. Once drained, our demo crew chips out the existing interior surface — old plaster, quartz, or worn Pebble Tec — using jackhammers and air chisels. If you are replacing your waterline tile, we remove it during this phase and prep the exposed rebar. If your remodel includes removing existing water features, accent boulders, or a spa dam wall, that work happens now. Phoenix pools built in the 1980s and 1990s often have hidden plumbing issues under the surface. If we find a problem, we fix it — that is on us. This phase typically takes 1 to 2 days.
Pool Drain and Surface Removal
This is where your pool remodel comes to life. Depending on your design, this phase can include new waterline tile, coping stone replacement, pool plumbing repair or rerouting, a dedicated suction line, a water leveler, depth conversions, baja shelf or beach entry additions, water features, accent boulders, new decking, a variable-speed pool pump (saves $50 to $100 per month on your APS / SRP bill), a new filter, pool automation, new plumbing for vacuum cleaner, LED color-changing pool lights, barbecue islands, fire bowls, and outdoor kitchen features. Our crews coordinate all trades — tile, coping, plumbing, electrical, equipment — under one project manager and one warranty. Phoenix homeowners tell us the most popular upgrades are glass waterline tile, variable-speed pumps, and LED lighting. Those three alone transform how the pool looks, runs, and costs.
Pool Construction and Upgrades
The interior surface is the finish your pool wears for the next 15 to 20 years, so material choice matters — especially in Phoenix. Our hard water, intense UV, and 115-degree summers are harder on pool surfaces than almost any climate in the country. We apply Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, quartz-enhanced plaster, or standard white plaster using a pressurized spray nozzle, then hand-trowel the finish smooth. For Phoenix pools, we recommend Pebble Tec or Pebble Sheen — they handle our water chemistry and heat better than plaster and last twice as long. We are certified Pebble Tec Elite Builders and we carry a full warehouse of material with strong color-match ability across 30+ colors. That means faster turnaround and no waiting on suppliers.
Interior Pool Surface Application
After your new surface is applied, we fill the pool over 12 to 30 hours depending on size (about 1 hour for a spa). Do not stop the water once filling begins until it reaches the middle of the waterline tile or the skimmer throat. Interrupting the fill can cause discoloration or imperfections in the new surface. We coordinate timing between the surface application and the startup to protect your finish during this critical curing window.
Pool Fill
This is where we separate ourselves from some pool remodeling company in the Valley. We perform our own pool startups on every remodel. We balance all water chemistry, mechanically start up pumps, filters, automation, and water features, and verify everything runs correctly. Why does this matter? Improper startup chemistry is the number one cause of surface failure and voided warranties. Some companies finish the surface and walk away, leaving you to figure out the chemistry or hire a separate pool service. When the startup goes wrong, they blame "chemical failure" and deny your warranty claim. We control the entire process — surface to startup — so there is zero gap in accountability. You get operating instructions for all new equipment, surface care guidelines, and a startup chemistry report. You do not pay until the job is complete and you are satisfied with the quality. We accept credit cards — not because we have to, but because we are confident enough in our work to give you that extra layer of protection.

This is one of the best, if not the best, swimming pool contractors in Arizona in my view. They have highly trained and professional staff who make sure that every detail is perfect. Aaron guided me through each step along the way in our pool remodel, including tile and PebbleSheen selection. We couldn't be happier with the results. - Don E. from Phoenix - Yelp Review
Less than 7 days my pool was resurfaced. I had a few bids and they came in with the lowest cost! They actually use name brand product (Pebble Tec) where other company use generic brand (Mini Pebble). My sales person (point of contact) communicated with me daily, this way I knew the work schedule and if I needed to lock my dogs inside. Great job, Great Service, Highly Recommend! - Norman Thompson, Jr - Google Review
These guys are fantastic! I was reluctant to have a major remodel done on my pool but finally took a chance. I couldn't have asked for a better experience! They were always on time, kept me fully informed, supportive and resolved any issues in a heart beat! They are the best! And my contact guy, Aaron Bailey, is number one! He is just terrific! This was one of the best contractor experiences I have ever had! - Cindy Robbins - Google Review
Pool Remodeling Questions Phoenix Homeowners Ask
How much does a pool remodel cost in Phoenix? Pool remodels in Phoenix range from $15,000 to $65,000 or more depending on scope. A basic remodel — new surface, tile, and coping — runs $15,000 to $25,000. A mid-range remodel with equipment upgrades, lighting, and deck work runs $25,000 to $45,000. A full transformation including water features and hardscape runs $45,000 to $65,000+. We come out, inspect the pool, and give you a written estimate with exact pricing. No internet guesswork, no ballpark ranges over the phone.
What is the difference between a pool remodel and a resurface? A resurface replaces the interior finish only — the Pebble Tec, plaster, or quartz coating that touches the water. Cost: $6,500 to $15,000. A remodel goes further and can include new waterline tile, coping stone, equipment upgrades, LED lighting, water features, and deck modifications on top of the resurface. Think of resurfacing as replacing the paint and remodeling as gutting and rebuilding the kitchen. About half of our resurface customers end up upgrading to a partial or full remodel once they see the possibilities during their free estimate.
Who does pool remodeling in Phoenix? Swimming Pool Service and Repair has been remodeling pools across the Phoenix metro since 1957 — three generations, 69 years, thousands of pool transformations. We specialize in remodeling existing pools, not building new ones. Walking onto a 25-year-old pool with unknown plumbing and previous bad work takes a different kind of experience than pouring a new shell from scratch. Licensed ROC 048408, 070761, 173638. Call (602) 267-7203 for a free on-site estimate.
How long does a pool remodel take? Timeline depends on scope. A surface-tile-coping remodel takes 2 to 3 weeks. Add equipment and lighting and you are looking at 3 to 4 weeks. A full renovation with structural changes, water features, and deck work takes 4 to 6 weeks. Phoenix weather rarely causes delays, though monsoon season (July through September) can add a few days. We lock in a specific timeline at your estimate and keep you updated throughout. Most homeowners are back in the pool within a week of completion.
What are the most popular pool remodel upgrades? The five upgrades Phoenix homeowners request most: (1) Pebble Tec or Pebble Sheen resurface to replace worn plaster — lasts 15 to 20 years in our climate. (2) Glass waterline tile, which completely changes how the pool looks. (3) New coping stone to replace cracked or salt-damaged edges. (4) Variable-speed pump — cuts $50 to $100 per month off your APS or SRP bill and pays for itself in 2 to 3 years. (5) LED color-changing lights to replace old halogen fixtures. Those five alone can turn a tired pool into a backyard people actually want to use.
What does a full pool renovation include? A full renovation covers everything inside and around the pool: new interior surface, waterline tile, coping stone, equipment (pump, filter, salt system or chlorinator), LED lighting, plumbing inspection and repair, and optional features like fire bowls, baja shelves, or a spa addition. One project manager coordinates all trades — tile, coping, plumbing, electrical, equipment — under one contract and one warranty. During peak season we bring in long-standing trade partners we have worked with for over a decade to keep your timeline tight without cutting corners.
Do you offer pool remodel financing? We do not offer in-house financing, but we can point you toward a lender that works with homeowners on pool remodel loans. Many customers pay less per month on a remodel loan than they spend on ongoing band-aid repairs to an aging pool. On our end, you do not pay the final bill until the job is complete and you are satisfied with the work. We also accept credit cards -- not because we have to, but because we are confident enough in our craftsmanship to give you that extra layer of buyer protection. Payment details and lender information are covered at your free estimate.

Who is the best pool remodel company in Phoenix? Look for a company that controls the entire process from demolition through startup.

We own our equipment, carry a full warehouse of Pebble Tec and Pebble Sheen material, and seldom issue change orders. If we find an unexpected problem mid-job, we fix it and absorb the cost.
