Pool Remodeling in Preston Hollow
Pool Remodeling in Preston Hollow, Dallas
Dallas Cool Pools provides pool remodeling and renovation services for homeowners in Preston Hollow, Dallas. Whether your pool needs a full surface overhaul, equipment upgrades, structural changes, or all of the above, we approach every renovation with the same standard of work we bring to new builds.
Preston Hollow is home to some of Dallas’s most established properties, and many of the pools on those properties were built decades ago. An older pool that hasn’t kept pace with the rest of the home becomes a liability, both visually and functionally. Pool remodeling in Preston Hollow isn’t just a cosmetic exercise. It’s an investment in the overall quality and presentation of the property.
What Pool Renovation Covers in Preston Hollow
A renovation can range from a targeted surface refresh to a comprehensive rebuild of the pool’s appearance, function, and equipment. Most projects in Preston Hollow involve several of these areas together, because once you’re already into the work, it makes sense to address everything at the same time.
Resurfacing
Traditional plaster surfaces deteriorate over time, becoming rough, stained, and difficult to maintain. Modern alternatives perform significantly better and look far superior. We work with:
- Pebble finishes for a natural, textured appearance with excellent durability
- Quartz and glass bead finishes for a smoother surface and a broader range of color options
- Exposed aggregate finishes for high-end properties where the finish material needs to match the overall design standard
The right finish depends on the pool’s design, the home’s aesthetic, and the owner’s maintenance preferences. We walk through the options in detail during the design consultation.
Tile and Coping
Tile and coping have more visual impact than most homeowners expect. Dated tile work and worn coping can make even a well-maintained pool look old. Replacement options include:
- Travertine coping for a clean, classic look that holds up well in Texas heat
- Natural stone for a more organic, high-end finish
- Ceramic and glass tile for the waterline, step edges, and feature walls
Deck and Patio
The deck surrounding the pool is part of the overall impression. Worn, cracked, or dated concrete diminishes the entire backyard. Renovation options include stamped and stained concrete, travertine, and natural stone pavers, all of which can be matched to existing hardscape or used to establish a new design direction.
Equipment Upgrades
Older pool equipment is expensive to run and difficult to manage. Upgrading to modern equipment reduces both energy costs and maintenance burden. We commonly install:
- Variable-speed pumps, which can reduce energy consumption significantly compared to single-speed pumps
- Smart automation systems that allow full control of the pool from a phone or tablet
- Updated filtration, heating, and sanitization systems
- LED lighting to replace outdated incandescent or halogen fixtures
Structural Changes
Some renovations go beyond surface and equipment work. Common structural changes we handle include:
- Adding a tanning ledge or beach entry to an existing pool
- Reconfiguring depth to convert an older deep-end design to a more family-friendly layout
- Integrating a spa or hot tub into an existing pool footprint
- Adding or relocating water features, fire elements, or automation controls

Frequently Asked Questions
Renovation costs vary significantly depending on the scope of work. A surface-only resurfacing project typically starts around $15,000 to $25,000. Full renovations that include new surfaces, tile, coping, deck work, and equipment upgrades on a larger Preston Hollow pool can range from $40,000 to $80,000 or more. We provide fully itemized quotes before any work begins.
A straightforward resurfacing project typically takes one to two weeks once work begins. More comprehensive renovations involving structural changes, new coping, deck work, and equipment can take four to eight weeks depending on scope. We give you a clear timeline before the project starts.
Structural changes and certain equipment upgrades require permits. Surface work and standard equipment replacement typically do not. We assess what's required for your specific project and handle all permitting directly.
Yes. Older pools are among the most common renovation projects we take on in Preston Hollow. The shell on a well-built older pool is often still structurally sound. Surface, equipment, tile, coping, and deck can all be updated to bring the pool to current standards without a full rebuild.
In most cases, renovation is the better path unless the shell is structurally compromised. A comprehensive renovation can bring an older pool to a condition that's functionally and visually equivalent to a new build at a significantly lower cost. We assess the shell honestly during the initial consultation and will tell you directly if replacement makes more sense.
