Pool remodeling for a better-looking, better-working backyard.
Keep the pool. Change how the whole backyard looks, works, and feels. King Pools evaluates the existing pool, decking, drainage, equipment, and surrounding space before defining a targeted resurfacing or complete renovation.
Designed around the property
A substantial pool remodel coordinates the surface, edge, deck, equipment, and backyard.
Tile and coping
Rework the waterline and pool edge with materials coordinated with the home, deck, and other masonry.
Decking and drainage
Repair or replace hardscape, correct transitions, and plan how water moves away from the pool and nearby structures.
Equipment, lighting, and controls
Evaluate pumps, filters, heaters, sanitation, automation, and lighting as part of the renovation instead of treating them as disconnected replacements.
Water features and structural changes
Consider benches, steps, raised elements, water features, walls, or other meaningful changes when the existing conditions support them.
Complete backyard renovation
Coordinate the pool remodel with structures, kitchens, fire features, walls, patios, and gathering areas when the property calls for a larger transformation.

Demolition and preparation
Define removal, access, protection, preparation, and any related work that must happen before new materials are installed.
- 03
Coordinate the renovation
Sequence tile, coping, masonry, decking, drainage, equipment, lighting, features, and outdoor-living work around the approved scope.
- 04

Midlothian pool remodeling
A resurfacing quote and a full pool remodel cover different work.
| Scope | Work to discuss with King Pools | Evidence and next step |
|---|---|---|
| Interior resurfacing | Evaluate the existing surface, preparation, selected finish and startup. | Compare finish samples and a proposal identifying preparation, products and care responsibilities. |
| Coordinated pool remodel | Evaluate tile, coping, decking, drainage, equipment, lighting and feasible feature changes together. | Review matched before-and-later photographs and request itemized work for the existing pool. |
| Complete replacement and backyard renovation | Assess removal of the existing pool and construction of a new pool and surrounding spaces. | The Total Backyard Renovation documents demolition and replacement, not a simple replaster. |
For a fair comparison, ask each contractor to identify quantities, products, allowances, exclusions and written warranty responsibilities. King Pools prices the assessed scope; a promotional price for a different pool does not establish the cost of yours. Follow the complete replacement project or request an existing-pool assessment.
Plaster · Quartz · Pebble
Compare pool finish texture, appearance and the complete installation.
| Finish family | What to compare | Ask for in the proposal |
|---|---|---|
| Plaster | The actual finish sample, color and surface feel alongside the other options. | Exact product, preparation, application, startup and water-care instructions. |
| Quartz aggregate | The selected quartz blend, color, texture and appearance under water. | Product-specific samples and a like-for-like installed scope rather than a generic quartz label. |
| Pebble or mini pebble | Aggregate size and texture; smaller-pebble and polished options can feel different. | An actual sample and the specific manufacturer's care, installer and warranty requirements. |
Choose the specific finish rather than assuming every product in a family has the same feel, lifespan or warranty. Pool depth, lighting and surroundings also affect water color. Browse King Pools interior-finish selections, then ask the team which products suit the proposed work.

How should I compare full pool-remodeling proposals in Midlothian?
Start with the same list of work: preparation, interior finish, tile, coping, decking, drainage, equipment, lighting and any structural changes. King Pools evaluates the existing pool and surrounding backyard before defining a resurfacing or substantial remodeling scope. Compare measured quantities, product selections, allowances, excluded work, startup and written warranty responsibilities. The documented Total Backyard Renovation shows complete demolition and replacement; that is a different scope from resurfacing an existing shell. Ask which approach the condition of your pool actually calls for.
How do I choose between plaster, quartz and pebble pool finishes?
Compare actual finish samples for texture and appearance, the preparation required for the existing shell, startup instructions, water-care requirements and the specific manufacturer's written warranty. King Pools helps coordinate the interior finish with tile, coping and decking as part of the remodeling scope. There is no single best finish for every swimmer or budget. Ask for the exact product and installation scope in each proposal; a material name by itself does not establish lifespan, comfort or total project cost.
