Transform an Aging Pool Into a Backyard You Love Again
Pool remodeling updates the appearance, condition, efficiency, or function of an existing swimming pool. Depending on the pool, that may mean replacing a worn interior finish, installing new tile and coping, upgrading old equipment, rebuilding the surrounding deck, adding modern features, or redesigning the entire backyard.
Pools R Us remodels and renovates pools throughout Las Vegas and Southern Nevada. Led by Las Vegas native Greg Tribble, our family-owned company brings more than 40 years of local pool-building experience to every project. We understand how intense sun, temperature changes, hard water, aging materials, and desert soil affect pools across the valley.
Our approach begins with the pool you already own. We inspect its visible condition, listen to what no longer works for you, and help separate necessary improvements from optional design upgrades. Then we create a clear remodeling plan that fits the property, priorities, and budget.
Whether your pool needs a fresh surface or a complete transformation, Pools R Us can guide the project from the first on-site assessment through startup and final walkthrough. If you’re starting from scratch instead, see our custom pool construction services.

A pool does not have to be unusable before it is ready for renovation. Many homeowners remodel because the surface has become uncomfortable, the style feels dated, the equipment is inefficient, or the backyard no longer fits the way their family lives.
Common signs that it’s time to evaluate your pool include:
Some symptoms are cosmetic, while others may point to equipment, plumbing, or structural concerns. An on-site evaluation is the best way to determine the appropriate scope.
These terms are often used interchangeably, but they describe different levels of work. Pools R Us evaluates the existing pool before recommending a direction.
| Project Type | Best Suited For | Typical Scope |
|---|---|---|
| Targeted Repair | A specific problem in an otherwise serviceable pool | Diagnosis and correction of an isolated surface, plumbing, equipment, or structural issue |
| Resurfacing | A worn, rough, stained, or aging interior | Remove or prepare the old surface and install a new plaster, quartz, pebble, or other selected finish |
| Cosmetic Renovation | A pool that functions but looks dated | New interior finish, tile, coping, lighting, and selected deck improvements |
| Equipment Modernization | Older or inefficient operating systems | Variable-speed pump, filter, heater, sanitation options, automation, or LED lighting |
| Complete Pool Remodel | A backyard that needs functional and visual change | Surface, tile, coping, deck, equipment, features, and broader layout or outdoor-living upgrades |
If a focused improvement can address the goal, the project doesn’t need to become a complete redesign. If several systems and finishes are approaching the end of their useful life, coordinating the work in one renovation may deliver better long-term value.
Years of use, water chemistry, mineral exposure, and desert conditions can leave older finishes rough, stained, faded, or deteriorated. We help homeowners compare finish options — including plaster and selected quartz or pebble-style finishes — based on appearance, texture, maintenance, durability, and budget. Color and aggregate selection can also change the perceived water color.
New tile and coping can modernize a pool even when the basic shape stays the same. We help coordinate color, pattern, scale, and material so the combination works with the interior finish, deck, water color, and architectural style — not just an attractive sample on its own.
An aging deck can make the entire pool area feel dated, with worn coatings, cracks, or uneven transitions. Depending on the project, deck remodeling may include removal and replacement, new pavers, updated concrete or coatings, expanded entertaining areas, or improved transitions between the house and pool.
A remodel is a practical time to review the entire equipment system. Potential upgrades include variable-speed pumps, properly sized filtration, updated heaters, modern sanitation options, energy-efficient LED lighting, automated valves, and remote app-based automation — selected for the pool’s actual size and features.
LED pool lights use less energy than older technologies and can provide white or color-changing illumination. Landscape and feature lighting can be coordinated to emphasize steps, water features, and gathering areas. Automation can centralize pump schedules, lighting, spa temperature, and water-feature controls.
An older pool may have limited entry steps, uncomfortable seating, or depths that no longer suit the household. Where the structure and design allow, a remodel can add or revise steps, benches, shallow lounging areas, and tanning ledges — planned as part of the entire pool, not a decorative attachment.
Adding an integrated spa can extend backyard use into cooler weather. A remodel may also introduce waterfalls, scuppers, fountains, bubblers, or deck jets for movement and sound — each evaluated for structural design, plumbing, equipment capacity, scale, and placement before it’s added to the proposal.
Pool renovation is an ideal time to improve the surrounding environment. Fire bowls, fire pits, outdoor kitchens, built-in grills, patio covers, pergolas, and new seating areas can turn a refreshed pool into a complete outdoor living space, with utilities, finishes, and sightlines coordinated together.
Pools across Las Vegas age under conditions that are different from many other markets. Our long local experience informs how we evaluate sun exposure, hard-water effects, material wear, equipment demands, and construction conditions around an existing pool.

A successful remodel requires understanding both the existing pool and the new work being added. Our custom-pool construction experience helps us evaluate how structure, plumbing, equipment, finishes, and outdoor features need to work together.
Renovations can uncover conditions that were not visible before demolition. We explain the proposed scope, distinguish included work from options, and communicate if a concealed condition changes the plan.
We want every selected feature to improve appearance, comfort, function, efficiency, or ease of ownership. Our team helps you prioritize the upgrades that matter most.
We meet at your home to review the pool, equipment, deck, and surrounding backyard. We discuss what concerns you, what you want to change, and what you hope the completed space will make possible.
We define the recommended scope and help you select interior finish, tile, coping, decking, equipment, lighting, and optional features. For larger transformations, design drawings or 3D renderings can help.
Structural changes, new gas or electrical work, added spas, major plumbing changes, and certain outdoor features may require permits, engineering, or HOA review. We identify the applicable authority for your address.
The pool is safely taken out of service and selected existing materials are removed or prepared. Once concealed areas become visible, we confirm the condition before new finishes are installed.
Crews complete the planned structural, plumbing, electrical, equipment, decking, tile, coping, lighting, and feature work, with progress communication throughout.
After the interior finish is installed, the pool is filled and equipment started. We show you how everything operates and walk through the completed work together.
Many Las Vegas pool remodels take approximately two to six weeks once work begins. A straightforward resurfacing project may be shorter, while a renovation involving structural changes, a new spa, extensive decking, outdoor living construction, or custom features may take longer.
The schedule can be affected by:
Pools R Us provides a project-specific schedule based on the approved scope. If conditions change after work begins, we explain the effect before proceeding with additional work.
Pool-remodeling cost depends on what the existing pool needs and how extensively the homeowner wants to change it. Resurfacing an otherwise sound pool is a different investment from replacing tile and coping, rebuilding the deck, upgrading all equipment, adding a spa, and constructing a new outdoor kitchen.
The primary cost factors include:
Because these variables differ significantly, an on-site assessment is the most reliable way to establish a realistic budget. Pools R Us provides a detailed proposal based on the actual pool, selected materials, and approved scope.
Las Vegas pools are exposed to strong UV radiation, high summer temperatures, dust, wind, mineral-rich water, and seasonal temperature changes. Those conditions influence material and equipment choices.
A lighter deck color may be more comfortable in direct sun than a dark surface. Tile and coping need to tolerate water exposure and outdoor temperature changes. Interior-finish color affects the look of the water but also requires realistic maintenance expectations. Pumps, filters, heaters, and automation need to be sized around the pool and installed with service access in mind.
Pools R Us helps homeowners compare these practical considerations alongside style and price. The objective is a renovation that looks strong on completion day and remains sensible to own afterward.
Pools R Us renovates pools in Las Vegas and surrounding Southern Nevada communities. The valley includes everything from older central neighborhoods with decades-old pools to newer master-planned communities with detailed HOA requirements — we review permit jurisdiction, access, soil, and neighborhood standards before finalizing the renovation plan.

A pool remodel can include resurfacing, tile, coping, decking, equipment, plumbing, lighting, automation, steps, benches, tanning ledges, spas, water features, fire features, and outdoor-living improvements. The scope is based on the pool’s condition and the homeowner’s goals.
Cost depends on pool size, current condition, finishes, tile, coping, decking, equipment, structural work, added features, access, and permits. A surface-only renovation costs less than a complete backyard transformation. Pools R Us provides a project-specific quote after an on-site assessment.
Many pool remodels take approximately two to six weeks after work begins. Resurfacing may take less time, while structural changes, a new spa, extensive decking, or outdoor-living additions may extend the schedule.
Yes, if the pool is otherwise in suitable condition. Resurfacing can renew a rough, stained, or aging interior without changing every part of the backyard. The existing pool should be evaluated first to identify any underlying issues that need attention.
Options may include traditional plaster and selected quartz or pebble-style finishes. Each has a different appearance, texture, maintenance profile, expected performance, and price. Pools R Us helps homeowners compare appropriate options for their pool.
Yes. A renovation is a practical time to consider a variable-speed pump, filtration, heater, LED lighting, automated valves, or smart controls. Equipment is selected around the pool’s size, plumbing, and features.
In many cases, yes. Feasibility depends on the existing structure, available space, plumbing, equipment, engineering, and budget. The site and pool must be evaluated before the addition can be designed.
Some do. Basic finish replacement may have different requirements from structural changes, added spas, new gas or electrical work, major plumbing changes, or outdoor structures. Pools R Us reviews the scope and identifies the applicable permit requirements for the address.
Pools R Us can evaluate visible concerns and determine whether additional testing or specialized diagnosis is needed. The appropriate repair depends on the source and extent of the condition. A crack or water-loss symptom should be understood before finishes conceal it.
Yes. Pools R Us works with established financing providers offering options for qualified homeowners. Rates, terms, and approval requirements are set by the lender.
A well-executed renovation can improve appearance, function, efficiency, and buyer appeal, especially in a market where outdoor living is important. Actual value depends on the property, neighborhood, renovation quality, condition, and real-estate market, so a specific return should not be assumed.
