Pool Renovation on Long Island | Tile, Coping, Decking & Equipment

Overview

Most 1980s pools are worth saving

The shell under an old Long Island pool is usually sound. What ages badly is the tile, coping, cracked concrete decking and the equipment pad. A renovation replaces all of that for a fraction of a new build, and can reshape the pool with raised walls, a sun shelf or a spa.
