Bring New Life to the Pool You Love.

A considered renovation changes more than the surface—it changes how the whole backyard feels.
More than a new surface
The details that make your pool look—and feel—brand new.
Pool resurfacing in Sarasota is often where a renovation starts. But the transformation comes from considering the waterline, coping, deck, lighting and the equipment behind it together. You choose the parts that matter to you; we build the scope around your home, your pool and the way you use it.
Pool resurfacing
Replace a worn, stained or rough finish with a surface that changes the colour, texture and overall feel of the water.
Waterline tile & coping
Fresh tile and coping give the edge of the pool a cleaner, more intentional finish and complement the new surface.
Travertine & paver decks
Travertine and concrete pavers can refresh the outdoor living area around the water with practical, durable materials.
Lighting & features
LED lighting and selected water features can update the way the pool looks in the evening as well as during the day.
Equipment & automation
While the pool is open, optional variable-speed pumps, heaters and automation can be quoted as clear line items.
Resurfacing can change the water itself
A new pool surface can make the water shine in a way you have not seen for years.
When a pool surface is worn, patchy, rough or cracked, it can take attention away from everything around it. A properly planned PebbleTec resurfacing project gives the water a richer visual depth, creates a more comfortable finish underfoot and brings tile, coping and deck decisions into one coordinated renovation.

PebbleTec resurfacing: a durable finish with a different kind of water colour.
Typical PebbleTec resurfacing runs about $12,000–$22,000 installed, depending on the product line and the preparation your pool needs. Plaster is the lower-cost finish, while PebbleTec costs more upfront and can offer longer-term value with proper maintenance. We explain the practical differences in the written scope so you can choose the right finish for your home.

A clear plan before work starts
A renovation planned around your home—not a one-size-fits-all package.
Most pool renovations take one to four weeks from drain to refill, depending on scope and weather. A basic resurfacing may take about a week; a larger pool, tile and deck renovation takes longer. We talk through the sequence before work begins and handle the 30-day chemistry startup after refill.
Start with the pool you have
We meet on site, look at the surface, tile, coping, deck and equipment, and listen to what you want the backyard to become.

You receive a free, written line-item estimate so materials, renovation choices and optional upgrades are clear before scheduling.
Drain, prepare and rebuild
Our team coordinates the drain, preparation and professional installation. Required permits are handled as the licensed contractor.
Refill, start up and walk through
After refill, our service team handles the 30-day chemistry startup and finishes with a final walkthrough of the completed project.
Renovation insight built on more than 20 years of pool-service experience.
Serving Sarasota since 2004 means we have seen which finishes, materials and practical decisions continue to work for homeowners long after the project is complete.
Cracks, stains and worn finishes deserve a proper look
Seeing a crack in your pool, loose tile or a finish that no longer feels right?
Not every issue means a full renovation. But a crack in a pool finish, persistent staining, rough plaster, failing waterline tile or deteriorating coping is worth a site visit before it becomes the focal point of the backyard. We assess the visible condition, explain the renovation or repair options clearly and give you a written scope before any work is scheduled.
Clear scope before work begins
A renovation is too individual for a generic online price calculator.
Pool size, existing surface condition, tile selection, coping, deck access and the upgrades you choose all affect the final scope. That is why we start with a complimentary on-site consultation and a written, line-item estimate—not a vague number that changes once the project begins.
Pool renovation and resurfacing questions
Frequently asked questions about pool renovations in Sarasota.
These answers are visible in the page HTML and reflect On-Time Pool Service’s current renovation FAQ information. Your complimentary on-site consultation and written estimate confirm the exact scope for your pool.
How much does a pool renovation cost?
Typical full renovations run $13,000–$60,000, depending on pool size, materials and scope. Most projects fall in the $13,000–$35,000 range. Smaller renovation-department repair work is much lower than a full renovation. Every estimate is free, written and includes line-item details after a complimentary on-site consultation.
What is included in a pool renovation?
A renovation can include resurfacing, waterline tile, coping, deck work, equipment upgrades and LED lighting—whatever your project needs. Every job includes drain and preparation, professional installation, refill, a 30-day chemistry startup by our service team and a final walkthrough.
How much does PebbleTec resurfacing cost?
PebbleTec for a typical pool costs about $12,000–$22,000 installed, depending on the product line and preparation. As a PebbleTec Elite Builder, On-Time provides the applicable manufacturer warranty on eligible installations.
How does PebbleTec compare with plaster or Diamond Brite?
Plaster is typically the lowest-cost option at about $4,000–$8,000 but generally lasts seven to ten years. PebbleTec costs more upfront but can last 20-plus years with proper maintenance. Diamond Brite, a quartz finish, falls between the two in both price and lifespan.
How much do tile, coping and deck renovation cost?
Waterline tile typically runs $1,800–$5,500. Coping runs $45–$110 per linear foot, depending on material. Deck work runs about $4–$15 per square foot, with a typical deck landing around $4,000–$12,000. Combining tile and coping with resurfacing can save 10–20% compared with separate projects.
How long does a pool renovation take?
Most renovations take one to four weeks from drain to refill. A basic resurfacing is often about a week; a complete pool and deck renovation can take three to five weeks. Weather and permit requirements can affect the schedule. The 30-day chemistry startup after refill is handled by our service team.
Can I use my pool during the renovation?
No. Renovations require the pool to be fully drained, so the pool is unavailable while the work is underway.
Do pool renovations require permits?
Most cosmetic work—such as resurfacing, tile, coping and deck work—does not require a permit in most areas. Some scopes and municipalities do require one. When required, we pull permits as the licensed contractor and build the timing into the schedule.
Should I upgrade equipment during a renovation?
It can be a practical time to consider upgrades, because the pool is already drained and equipment access is open. Optional line-item choices can include a variable-speed pump, LED lighting, automation and a new heater. We explain the options so you can choose what fits the project and budget.
How do I choose a pool renovation contractor, and what warranty is offered?
Ask about pool-contractor licensing, insurance, manufacturer certifications, a written line-item estimate and clear warranty terms. On-Time holds CPC #1459543 and LP Gas LI45366, warranties workmanship for one year and provides documentation at closeout. PebbleTec and equipment carry their applicable manufacturer warranties.
Prices are current renovation guidance and vary with dimensions, material selection, existing conditions, permits and final scope. Your written estimate confirms the work for your pool.
