Pool remodel season is here! Cooler months are the perfect time to make updates, repairs, or enhancements without interrupting your swim season.
Your Pool Remodel Journey
This phase-by-phase look focuses on the transformation that happens once construction begins, highlighting Zodiac’s craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the remodeling process.
Before the visible transformation begins, Zodiac Pools focuses on professional surface preparation — a critical phase that ensures beauty and durability. Each remodel involves a thorough inspection, removal of worn materials, surface cleaning, and the application of specialized coatings like the bond coat that promotes strong adhesion.
How we transform your existing pool into something extraordinary
The process typically spans about a week to ten days, depending on project scope and weather conditions.
1. Site Preparation
We begin by protecting your landscaping and clearing the work area for safe access.
2. Draining & Demolition
The pool is drained, and we remove old plaster, tile, and any damaged surfaces to reveal a clean foundation.
3. Surface Preparation
The shell is pressure washed and prepped with a bond coat to ensure long-lasting adhesion for your new PebbleTec surface.
4. Structural & Equipment Updates
Plumbing, steel, or equipment upgrades are made as needed for durability and energy efficiency.
5. Tile & Hardscape Installation
New waterline tile, coping, and decking are installed with precision, setting the tone for your design.
6. PebbleTec Application
The finishing touch: a handcrafted PebbleTec surface applied by our certified team, giving your pool its signature texture and tone.
7. Acid Wash & Refill
After the PebbleTec surface has set, we perform a detailed acid wash to bring out the finish’s full color and smoothness. The pool is then thoroughly cleaned, refilled, and the water sparkles to life again — a satisfying moment that marks the true transformation of your backyard.
The surface of your pool defines both its personality and its comfort.
