Pool Renovations and Construction in Connecticut

Most of what we work on are gunite/shotcrete pools and spas. If you’re not sure what you have, no need to guess, send a few photos and your town and I can tell you what we’re looking at. We handle everything from the shell and bond beam to coping, tile, and finishes. If it’s a pool and spa that need real work. Not a patch, we’re the right call.

A renovation usually means some mix of coping, waterline tile, resurfacing/replastering, and any structural repairsthat need to happen before the finish goes on. The biggest mistake people make is picking a finish before the underlying problems are addressed. We look at what’s failing, why it’s failing, and then build the scope around fixing it the right way. You’ll know what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and what it costs before anything starts.

If the surface is just worn, rough, stained, or dated, resurfacing may be enough. But if you’ve got cracks, movement, hollow spots, tile popping, coping loosening, or recurring issues, that’s usually telling you there’s more going on than the finish. I’m not interested in making it look good for one season—I want it to hold up. We figure out what’s actually happening first, then we decide whether it’s repair, resurfacing, or both.

In Connecticut, timing matters because temperature and scheduling matter. A lot of homeowners plan renovations so the pool is ready for summer—others use the shoulder seasons to avoid the rush. The right time depends on scope: coping/tile work, repairs, resurfacing, deck tie-ins—those all affect the schedule. If you’re trying to swim this season, the sooner we look at it, the more realistic we can be about timing.

Yes—we build new gunite pools and spas, and we renovate and repair existing ones. The way we run the job doesn’t change: clear scope, organized schedule, steady communication, and work done to standard. If you’re considering a new build, we’ll talk through layout, access, utilities, and what the site will realistically allow. No guessing, no vague promises.

Start with your town and a few photos. Wide shots help, but close-ups matter too—coping, tile line, steps, any cracks, and anything that looks like it’s shifting or failing. Then tell me what you want: are you trying to fix a problem, update the look, or both? From there we can set a site evaluation and I can give you clear options instead of a number that changes later.
