Pool remodeling in Richardson, TX from Blue Science: pool resurfacing, tile, coping, decking, lighting, and pool equipment upgrades planned as one project, with a written scope and budget before the pool is drained and one team from demolition to startup and completion. In Richardson a pool remodel begins with an in-home consultation, a site visit, and samples looked at outdoors next to the house, so the pool design fits your existing swimming pool, your preferences, and the wear that hard water, spring pollen, and July heat leave on a surface.

Love Your Pool Again
These are the finishes, decks, and features Richardson owners choose most, shown in full so nothing is cropped. Hard North Texas water decides more of the surface choice here than color does, and we say which finishes hold up.

Pool Surface Options
Interior finish is the biggest visual change in a remodel: it turns builder blue into lake green or deep navy, and the right one holds up to hard North Texas water far longer than plaster.

Pool Decking Options
Stamped concrete, pavers, and natural stone each handle blackland clay that swells and shrinks every year differently, and we say which will still sit flat in a Richardson yard in ten years.

Coping, Equipment & Water Features

A Smarter Path to a Beautiful Pool Remodel
The decisions behind a good Richardson remodel, in the order we make them: what the shell and lines need, which surface suits hard North Texas water, what the deck should be on blackland clay that swells and shrinks every year, and what to upgrade while the pool is open.
Richardson pools in Richardson Heights, Canyon Creek, and Cottonwood Heights were dug with the ranch houses in the 1960s and 1970s, and most are on their second or third plaster, with tile and coping from a remodel done decades ago and decks cracked along every clay joint. The houses have been renovated, often twice; the pools are still the original shells.
A fifty-year-old shell gets inspected before it gets a finish. We check for hollow plaster and delamination, pressure test the original lines, and rebuild the skimmer and light niches with the water out, because on a Richardson Heights pool those are where the water has been going for years.
What Richardson remodels usually uncover
From the remodel crewLayered plaster letting go in patches, tile popped off a beam that moved, coping heaved by cedar elm roots and clay, and skimmers patched rather than replaced are the standard findings in Canyon Creek and Richardson Heights. The scope strips to sound gunite, replaces finish and tile, resets or replaces the coping, and repairs what fifty years opened.
Owners often use the remodel to add a tanning ledge or spillover to a pool that was built as a plain rectangle, and choose a finish that suits the shade of trees that were saplings when the pool was dug.

Remodel scheduling for Canyon Creek and Richardson Heights
From the remodel crewThe pad on a mid-century pool has been rebuilt piece by piece, so the empty-pool work usually includes a variable-speed pump and LED lighting to replace whatever generation is on it now, all under one scope written before the water comes out.
Fresh plaster needs its first weeks managed closely. We run the startup brushing and balance and hand the pool back to the weekly technician with the new readings.

Questions Richardson Pool Owners Ask
How long is the pool out of service for a replaster?
About two weeks from drain to swim: a day or two to drain and chip, a day for the new surface, then the fill and a month of daily brushing while it cures. We plan it around your calendar because you are out of the water for the whole stretch.
Answered by a Blue Science pool builder, DFW MetroplexCan you remodel an existing pool?
Yes, and most Richardson pools are better candidates for a remodel than for a new pool. The shell is usually sound; what wears out is the surface, the tile and coping, the deck, the lights, and the equipment. A remodel drains the pool, repairs the shell and plumbing where needed, replaces the interior finish, tile, and coping, and can add lighting, water features, a sun shelf, or a new deck before fill-up and startup. In Richardson the same company that remodels the pool can put it on a weekly route afterward, and the startup brushing for a new finish is part of the job.
What is the best pool surface for Texas water?
The tap water here is hard, so calcium climbs all year and shows up as a white scale line at the tile and a rough feel on the plaster. Quartz and pebble finishes stand up to that better than plain plaster, glass bead adds sparkle and a smooth feel, and a darker finish reads as deeper water and warms faster. In Richardson we look at samples outdoors, next to your coping and deck, and weigh durability and upkeep alongside looks.
Can I change the shape or add a spa during a remodel?
Yes. With the pool drained, the shell can be cut and re-shot to add a sun shelf, a bench, a raised spa, or steps where there were none, and a deep end can be made shallower. It is structural work, so it is engineered and written as its own line in the Richardson remodel scope, and it is the one chance to do it without draining the pool twice.
What happens to the water when a pool is resurfaced?
It is drained, which is why timing matters: the pool is refilled as soon as the finish cures so the surface is not exposed longer than it must be, and a Richardson pool with a high water table gets its hydrostatic relief checked before the drain. The refill uses fresh tap water, which needs startup chemicals to become pool water, and a new finish needs specific brushing and balancing in its first weeks. We handle the startup and hand the pool to weekly service.
