Pool Remodeling in Lighthouse Point, FL
Resurfacing, new waterline tile, coping and deck replacement, added shelves, spas and lighting, for the pool you already own.
Pool renovation, built on the pool you already have
Plenty of South Florida pools were built well and have simply aged. The finish has gone rough under your feet, the waterline tile is stained or loose, the coping is chipped at the edges, and the deck cracks and heats up by noon. Pool remodeling with Dolce Vita Pools And Patios keeps what's worth keeping and updates the parts you see, touch and swim in every day.
Sometimes that means a fresh interior finish and new tile. Sometimes it means rethinking the whole pool: a sun shelf for the loungers, a bench in the shade, a spa that spills into the main pool, lights that make the water glow after dinner. We design the changes around your yard and how your family uses it, then build them, from Lighthouse Point up to Boca Raton and down to Fort Lauderdale.

What pool remodeling can change
Every remodel is a different mix. Here is everything on the table, from the surface you swim on to the lights you see it by.
-
Pool resurfacing
The interior finish is what your feet and hands meet every swim. When it turns rough, stained or blotchy, resurfacing gives the shell a fresh finish and a new color for the water. It sits at the heart of most remodels, and the finish you choose changes how the pool looks from the patio as much as how it feels underfoot.
-
New waterline tile
The band of tile at the surface takes the sun, the splash and everything that floats. New waterline tile cleans up the line your eye follows around the pool, and it's one of the easiest places to bring in color: deep glass greens, ocean blues, patterned porcelain.
-
Coping replacement
Coping caps the top of the pool wall. It's the edge you sit on with your feet in the water. Replacing chipped or dated coping, in stone, travertine or pavers chosen to work with the deck, makes an older pool look finished again.
-
Pool deck replacement
A cracked, stained or hot deck drags the whole backyard down. We replace pool decking with pavers, travertine or natural stone laid out for lounging and for the walk from the back door, and we can carry it into a full patio while we're at it.

Steps, sun shelves and benches
Many older pools have one set of steps in a corner and nowhere to sit. A wider entry, a shallow sun shelf for in-water loungers or a bench along the wall changes how the pool gets used, with kids, with guests and on long Saturday afternoons.
-
Add a spa
A spa can join the pool you already have, raised with a spillover into the main pool or set flush at the edge. Warm water on a January evening is still worth having in South Florida.
-
Lighting and water features
LED pool lights, deck lighting, bubblers, sheer descents and deck jets turn the pool into something you look at, not just swim in. It's the change you'll see every night from inside the house.

GalleryPool remodeling questions
The ones homeowners in Lighthouse Point and nearby ask us most before a renovation.
What does pool remodeling include?
It depends on the pool and what you want from it. A Dolce Vita remodel can cover resurfacing the interior, new waterline tile, coping and pool deck replacement, adding steps, a sun shelf, benches or a spa, and upgrading the lighting and water features. Some homeowners choose one or two of those; others change nearly all of them at once.
Is pool resurfacing the same as a pool remodel?
Resurfacing is one part of a remodel: a new interior finish on the existing shell. A full pool renovation usually goes further, into tile, coping, decking, seating and lighting. During the walk-through we look at the whole pool so you can decide how far to take it.
Can you add a sun shelf, bench or spa to my existing pool?
Adding steps, a sun shelf, benches or a spa is part of the remodeling work we do. Whether a particular addition fits your pool depends on the shell, the yard around it and the equipment, which is exactly what the on-site walk-through is for.
How much does a pool remodel cost?
We don't list prices, because two remodels are rarely alike: the size of the pool, the materials you pick and the changes you add all move the number. After the walk-through and planning, you get a free estimate for your pool specifically.
How long does a pool remodel take?
That depends on the scope. Resurfacing on its own is a very different job from new tile, coping, decking and an added spa. We'll talk through timing for your project when we put your estimate together, rather than guess at it here.
Do you remodel pools outside Lighthouse Point?
Yes. We're based in Lighthouse Point (33064) and remodel pools in Boca Raton, Coconut Creek, Coral Springs, Deerfield Beach, Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-by-the-Sea, Oakland Park, Parkland, Pompano Beach and Wilton Manors. See all the areas we serve.
Can I redo the patio or add an outdoor kitchen at the same time?
Yes, and a remodel is a good time to do it. Dolce Vita also builds outdoor patios and outdoor kitchens and pergolas, so the pool, the deck and everything around them can be planned together by one contractor.
How do I get a free estimate?
