“We hired Ingenious Pool and Spa to do a remodel over this past spring and are extremely pleased. John and Danielle did a great job with communication and oversight. Like with type of construction there’s some bumps in the road, but those were dealt with quickly. I definitely recommend Ingenious Pool and Spa if you’re looking to do a remodel.”

UNDERSTANDING POOL REMODELING

Your swimming pool is more than just a place to cool off – it’s the centerpiece of your outdoor living space. Over time, pool surfaces deteriorate, styles change and new technologies emerge. A well-planned remodel can address these issues while adding modern features that enhance your pool’s functionality and visual appeal.

CORE REMODELING & RESTORATION SERVICES

Basic Refinishing: The foundation of any pool remodel starts with the interior finish. While your pool may still hold water with an aging surface, worn pebble finishes become rough after about 15 years. This roughness not only feels uncomfortable, but also creates perfect hiding spots for dirt and algae, increasing your maintenance costs and effort.

Interior and Tile Transformation: The most popular remodeling package combines interior refinishing with new waterline tile. This combination dramatically changes your pool’s appearance and can completely refresh your backyard’s atmosphere. Our Mini pebble finish leads the market by offering excellent durability with a smoother feel than traditional pebble surfaces.

THE POOL REFINISHING PROCESS

Drain The Pool

The first step in any pool refinishing project is safely draining the water. Our professional team uses high-powered submersible pumps to remove water efficiently while protecting your pool’s structure. In Arizona’s soil conditions, proper draining technique is critical – we carefully monitor the process to prevent any potential floating or shifting of the pool shell. The water is responsibly disposed of according to local regulations, typically through the home’s cleanout or approved drainage points. Depending on your pool’s size, the draining process usually takes 8-12 hours, and we take special care to protect your landscaping and hardscaping during this phase.

Surface Removal (chip out)

After draining, our skilled technicians begin the surface removal process, often called “chip out.” Using industrial jackhammers and specialized chipping tools, we carefully remove the old surface material to expose the underlying concrete shell. This process might look aggressive, and you’ll notice what appears to be deep scratches and marks on your pool’s surface – but don’t worry, these temporary marks are completely normal during this phase. Our experienced team knows exactly how much pressure to apply to remove the old finish without damaging the structural shell. This critical step allows us to inspect the concrete shell thoroughly for any hidden issues like cracks, rust spots, or exposed steel that need addressing before applying the new finish.

Shell Inspection

Once the old surface is removed, our technicians perform a meticulous shell inspection – a crucial step that can reveal issues hidden beneath the old finish. We carefully examine every square inch of the exposed concrete shell, searching for structural cracks that could lead to leaks, rust spots that might indicate underlying steel corrosion, and any exposed reinforcement steel that needs attention. This thorough inspection helps us identify and address potential problems before they become major issues. If we discover any concerns, we’ll document them with photos and discuss repair options with you immediately. Catching these problems during the shell inspection saves you money in the long run and ensures your new pool finish will last for years to come.

Surface Application

After repairs and preparation, we begin applying your chosen new finish. Ingenious Pool and Spa uses specialized techniques to ensure a smooth, even application whether you’ve selected traditional plaster, quartz, or a pebble finish. The application process requires precise timing and expert craftsmanship to achieve optimal results. Once the finish has been applied and had its initial set, we perform an acid wash to remove any surface residue and expose the true beauty of your new finish. Then comes the critical fill process, where we carefully add water while maintaining the proper chemical balance.

Important Note: Pools typically support two refinishing cycles before requiring a new concrete brown coat.
