Houston’s Most Awarded Pool Company — transform your existing pool into the backyard you’ve always wanted.
Your pool may have been the perfect backyard investment when it was built — but time, weather, and changing tastes have a way of turning yesterday’s luxury into today’s liability. Cracks in the shell, a rough and stained plaster surface, outdated tile, inefficient equipment, or a layout that no longer fits how your family uses the space are all signs your pool is ready for a Regal renovation.
Greater Houston’s aging pool inventory — tens of thousands of pools built in the 1980s, 1990s, and early 2000s throughout The Woodlands, Katy, Cypress, Kingwood, Sugar Land, and the Houston inner loop — represents a massive renovation opportunity. A Regal renovation doesn’t just fix what’s broken — it brings your pool fully up to the current standard of beauty, performance, and technology.
Regal Pools brings the same award-winning design capability and construction quality to renovation projects that we deliver on new builds. Our renovation team begins every project with a complete structural assessment and 3D redesign, so you can see exactly what your renovated pool will look like before any work begins.
Full structural assessment — hidden issues identified before they become expensive surprises.
3D redesign rendering — see your renovated pool before construction begins.
30+ years of experience — we’ve renovated virtually every type of Houston-area pool.
Permitting handled — we manage every application for structural or electrical work.
The interior finish is the most visible element of your pool — what you see, touch, and swim against every day. In Greater Houston’s hot, chemical-intensive pool environment, most interior finishes begin showing age within 10–15 years: rough surfaces, staining, and structural pitting are all signs your pool is due for resurfacing.
White plaster: the classic, most economical finish — clean and bright for a renovation budget.
Pebble finishes: the most popular Houston renovation choice, with a 15–20+ year lifespan.
Quartz aggregate: blended quartz crystals for a sparkling, chemical-resistant surface.
Glass tile: the ultimate luxury finish — a luminous, jewel-like appearance and the longest lifespan.
The waterline tile, coping, and surrounding deck are the visual frame of your pool. For pools built more than 10 years ago, these elements are often the most visibly dated components — and updating them delivers an immediate, dramatic improvement.
Waterline tile replacement: contemporary glass, porcelain, or stone mosaic tile in place of dated ceramic.
Coping replacement: travertine, natural stone, bullnose pavers, and cast concrete options.
Travertine pavers: the premier Houston deck material — stays cool underfoot and ages beautifully.
Cool Deck & Kool Coat: a heat-reflective coating that dramatically reduces surface temperature.
If your pool still runs on a single-speed pump and a mechanical timer, you’re paying significantly more in electricity than you need to. An equipment upgrade is often the highest-ROI renovation investment a Houston pool owner can make.
Uses up to 90% less electricity than single-speed models. Savings typically pay for the pump in 2–3 years.
Control temperature, filtration, lighting, and spa from a single app. Pentair and Hayward platforms available.
Softer-feeling water, automatic chlorine generation, and significantly lower chemical costs over time.
Replace outdated incandescent lights with color-changing LED systems for lower energy use and nighttime impact.
Extend your Houston swim season year-round with an efficient heat pump or gas heater.
Replace aging sand or DE filters with modern cartridge or media filtration, plus UV or ozone options.
A renovation doesn’t have to mean simply restoring what you already have. For many Greater Houston homeowners, it’s the opportunity to fundamentally reimagine their outdoor space — adding features and transforming a dated backyard into a modern resort environment.
Spa addition: designed so the new spa looks and functions as if always part of the original pool.
Tanning ledge & beach entry retrofits: one of the most popular renovation upgrades in the Houston market.
Pool shape modification: expand the footprint, add a plunge area, or reshape the perimeter.
Vanishing edge conversion: transform a conventional pool into a dramatic infinity-edge design.
Water feature additions: rock waterfalls, grottos, sheer descents, deck jets, and laminars.

Outdoor Living TransformationsA handful of local considerations we evaluate and manage on every renovation project.
Any work that modifies the pool’s structure, plumbing, or electrical system requires a building permit. Cosmetic work like resurfacing typically does not. We evaluate requirements before work begins.
Houston’s expansive clay soils can cause pool shells to move and crack over time. We conduct a full structural assessment before any cosmetic renovation proceeds.
Variable-speed pump upgrades typically pay for themselves in 2–3 years. Combined with automation and LED lighting, monthly operating costs can drop by 40–60%.
Most renovation work requires draining the pool. We take precautions for hydrostatic pressure when draining pools in Houston’s high-water-table areas.
Adding a tanning ledge, spa, or water feature is far more cost-effective during a planned renovation than as a standalone project later.
If your pool is beyond the point where renovation makes financial sense, we’ll assess whether a full new build is the better path.
Pool renovation costs in Greater Houston vary widely based on scope. A basic resurfacing project typically starts in the low five figures. A comprehensive renovation including new interior finish, tile, coping, deck, and equipment upgrade ranges from $25,000 to $60,000+. Structural enhancements — a spa, tanning ledge, or water features — are priced individually.
Resurfacing only: the most affordable entry point — new interior finish over the existing shell.
Full cosmetic renovation: finish, tile, coping, and deck updated together for a complete refresh.
Equipment overhaul: variable-speed pump, automation, salt system, and LED lighting.
Structural additions: spa, tanning ledge, water features, or shape modifications, priced by scope.

Yes, for most renovation work. Resurfacing, tile replacement, structural repairs, and many equipment upgrades all require a drained pool. Equipment-only upgrades can often be performed without draining. We take precautions to address hydrostatic pressure in Greater Houston’s high-water-table areas.
Pebble-based finishes are the most popular renovation choice for Houston’s climate, with a 15 to 20+ year lifespan and superior stain resistance compared to standard plaster. Glass tile is the most luxurious and longest-lasting option.
Yes. Adding a spa is one of our most popular renovation upgrades. It requires structural excavation, new plumbing connections, and coordination with the pool’s heater. A 3D rendering shows the integrated spa design before work begins.
Absolutely. A well-renovated pool improves both quality of daily life and property marketability, particularly in communities like The Woodlands, Katy, Cypress, Sugar Land, and Kingwood where pool ownership is the norm.
