We interviewed four builders. Kingfisher was the only one who showed us the pool in our actual yard before asking for a deposit. The finished pool looks exactly like the rendering.

What It Covers

Swimming Pool Remodeling That Fits the Yard You Already Have

Most pools do not need to be replaced. They need a new interior, fresh tile, a better deck, or equipment that is not from another decade.

Renovation is how we give an existing pool another twenty years: a new finish, waterline tile and coping, a repaired or replaced deck, updated equipment, and features like a spa or lighting that were not there before. We scope the whole project in one design and one fixed price. Call (941) 555-0142 to schedule a renovation consultation.

Included with every renovation

Honest Assessment First

We tell you what needs doing, what can wait, and what would be a waste of money.

One Fixed Price

The whole scope priced before we start, with no surprise change orders.

Our Own Crews

Plasterers, tile setters, and deck crews are Kingfisher employees.

Coordinated Sequence

Trades scheduled so no one undoes another’s work and the pool is down as briefly as possible.

Startup Included

New finishes get a proper 30-day startup so they cure and look right.

Written Warranty

Finish, tile, and equipment work carries a written warranty.

Interior & tile

Interior & tile

When to resurface, when to wash, when to retile

3 services

Quick answer

Rough or etched plaster, hollow spots, and exposed gunite mean resurface. Smooth but stained means an acid wash may be enough. Failing waterline tile is almost always a bond beam problem, and we fix the beam before we set tile.

Good to know

A new finish needs a 30-day startup to cure properly. Plan the remodel so the startup does not land in the week of a party.

Good to Know

Pool Renovation Questions, Answered Straight

The things Sarasota homeowners ask us most before they remodel. Don’t see yours? Call and a project manager will answer it.

01

How do I know if my pool needs resurfacing?

Rough or etched plaster, stains that no longer lift, hollow or flaking spots, and exposed gunite are the signs. If the surface is smooth but discolored, an acid wash may be enough, and we will tell you which.

02

How long is the pool out of service?

A resurface with tile is typically a couple of weeks including startup. Adding deck, spa, or equipment extends it. You get a schedule in writing before we start.

03

Can you add a spa to an existing pool?

Yes. We build gunite spas attached to or beside existing pools, tie them into the plumbing and equipment, and match the tile and finish.

04

Should I renovate or start over?

If the shell is sound, renovation almost always wins on cost. If the structure has failed or the layout no longer fits the yard, we will lay out what a replacement would involve so you can compare.

05

Will renovation work be permitted?

Structural, electrical, gas, and most plumbing work is permitted and inspected. Cosmetic work like resurfacing typically is not. We handle whatever is required.

06

Do you replace pool equipment as part of a remodel?

Yes. Most remodels include a new variable-speed pump, filter, and often a heater and automation, sized to the pool and installed on a clean pad.

07

Is renovation work warranted?

Yes. Finish, tile, and equipment carry written warranties, and structural repairs are covered under the same terms as our new builds.
