What affects the price

Remodeling your pool is a custom project, so final costs depend heavily on the specific upgrades you select. Replacing simple pool tiles or updating your plaster is generally more affordable than installing entirely new decking, lighting systems, or automation features. The physical size of your pool and the current condition of the plumbing underneath also play a major role in the total bill. If we need to address structural cracks or upgrade aging equipment, you will see the project cost shift accordingly. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

About this service

A pool filter is the heart of your pool’s cleaning system, responsible for trapping fine particles and contaminants from the water. You need to clean or replace your filter media—whether it is sand, cartridges, or DE—when the pressure gauge indicates it is clogged. A well-functioning filter keeps the water clear and prevents equipment strain. The cost to replace or upgrade depends on the filter type and pool size. Exact pricing confirmed free on the call.

Remodeling in the summer is possible, though it means you will be out of the water for a portion of the season. If your equipment fails or your pool needs urgent repairs, we can jump in to fix the issues quickly. We aim to keep the process efficient so you can get back to swimming and hosting backyard events as soon as possible.

Frequently asked in Chicago

What's the difference between pool cleaning and a full remodel in Chicago?
How does Chicago's weather affect pool remodeling choices?

Chicago's harsh winters, with freeze-thaw cycles, demand durable materials for pool remodeling. The pros consider finishes like aggregate or tile that can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations without cracking or spalling. They also ensure proper drainage and structural integrity to prevent water damage during the colder months. This careful selection ensures your remodeled pool endures Chicago's climate.

Can you resurface an old pool in Chicago?

Absolutely. Resurfacing is a core service for older pools in Chicago. The crew that comes out will assess the existing surface for damage, such as cracks or delamination, and prepare it for a new finish. Options range from traditional plaster to quartz aggregates and pebble finishes, all designed to provide a fresh, durable surface for your Chicago swimming pool.

What materials are best for pool coping in the Chicago area?

For Chicago pools, durable and weather-resistant coping materials are essential. Options like natural stone (granite, bluestone) or high-quality concrete pavers are frequently recommended by the specialists. These materials offer excellent resistance to freeze-thaw damage and provide a safe, attractive edge for your pool. The pros will discuss which best suits your aesthetic and functional needs.

Is it worth remodeling an existing pool in Chicago?

Yes, remodeling an existing pool in Chicago is often a worthwhile investment. It can significantly enhance your property's value, improve functionality, and update the aesthetic to your current preferences. Addressing structural issues during a remodel can prevent larger, more costly repairs down the line. The specialists ensure the work is done to last.

What kind of filtration upgrades are common in Chicago pool remodels?

In Chicago pool remodels, upgrading filtration often means moving to more energy-efficient variable-speed pumps and larger capacity filters. The specialist might also suggest converting from a sand filter to a cartridge or DE filter for finer filtration. These enhancements improve water clarity and reduce operating costs, crucial for managing pool maintenance effectively.

Can I get advice on pool tile options for my Chicago home?

Certainly. The pros can guide you through various pool tile options suitable for Chicago's climate.
