Straight answers about pool remodeling, resurfacing, repairs and weekly service from the Barefoot Pools family serving Phoenix, Gilbert, Scottsdale, Paradise Valley and communities across the East Valley.
Pool remodeling costs depend on the pool’s size and condition, the interior finish, tile, decking, equipment and any structural changes. Barefoot Pools starts with an on-site consultation, then provides a detailed proposal based on your goals and the work your pool actually needs.
The timeline depends on the scope of work, material availability, inspections, weather and any conditions uncovered after the pool is drained. A straightforward resurfacing project is usually faster than a full remodel with tile, decking, equipment or structural changes. Barefoot Pools explains the expected sequence before construction begins and keeps homeowners informed along the way.
Traditional plaster offers a smooth, classic appearance and is often the more budget-conscious option. Pebble finishes add texture, depth and color variation and are generally chosen for their durability and natural look. The best choice depends on the feel, appearance, maintenance expectations and investment you want for your pool.
Resurfacing addresses a worn, stained or rough interior finish. A full remodel may also include tile, decking, coping, equipment, plumbing or structural changes. Barefoot Pools inspects the pool and helps separate necessary repairs from optional design upgrades.
Yes. Barefoot Pools diagnoses and repairs pumps, filters, heaters, automation, salt systems and other pool equipment. We also help homeowners upgrade older systems with options such as variable-speed pumps, modern automation and more efficient equipment. When replacement or an upgrade is the better long-term choice, we explain why and recommend equipment suited to the pool and the homeowner’s priorities.
An acid wash removes a very thin layer of plaster to reduce certain stains, algae discoloration and mineral buildup. It is not routine maintenance and it is not appropriate for every finish or every pool. Barefoot Pools first evaluates the surface condition and water chemistry, then explains whether an acid wash, another cleaning method or resurfacing is the better choice.
The right schedule depends on the filter type, pool use, landscaping, dust, weather and the filter’s pressure readings. Many Arizona pools benefit from professional filter cleaning several times per year, but the pressure gauge and system performance are better guides than the calendar alone. Barefoot Pools inspects and cleans the filter and checks for worn grids, cartridges, seals or other problems.
A pool should not be drained on a routine schedule. Draining may be recommended when water chemistry can no longer be corrected normally, total dissolved solids or calcium levels are too high, major interior repairs are needed, or the pool is being resurfaced. Because an empty pool can be damaged by heat or groundwater pressure, Barefoot Pools evaluates the conditions and recommends the safest approach.
