Most pool remodeling projects in St. Petersburg and Pinellas County require permits for electrical, structural, or deck work.

Permit requirements vary by location and scope, and costs are included in your proposal to avoid surprises.

The interior finish you choose significantly affects your pool's appearance and durability. Standard white plaster is the most economical option, lasting 7 to 10 years with proper maintenance. Quartz aggregate finishes offer enhanced durability and color options, lasting ten to fifteen years. Pebble finishes use natural river stones for superior stain resistance and a lifespan of 15 to 20 years or more. Glass bead finishes provide a smooth, durable surface with high visual appeal. Each finish differs in maintenance needs, texture, and light reflection. We provide samples and explain these differences during your consultation to help you select the best option for your budget and preferences.

Surface longevity depends on the material and pool maintenance. Standard plaster lasts 7 to 10 years when properly balanced and cared for. Quartz aggregate lasts 10 to 15 years, while pebble and glass bead finishes can last 15 to 20 years or more. Maintaining proper water chemistry is essential to prevent deterioration. Clear Tech Pools offers maintenance services to protect your investment and guides you in caring for each finish type. Many clients opt for weekly maintenance after remodeling to ensure professional care.

Absolutely—a remodel is the perfect time to upgrade your pool equipment. While the pool is drained, replace old pumps, filters, heaters, and lighting with energy-efficient options. Variable-speed pumps can cut energy use by up to 80%, saving $500 to $1,200 annually. LED lights use less energy and offer better illumination. Salt chlorine generators reduce chemical handling and maintenance costs. Automation lets you control pool functions via smartphone for convenience and efficiency. During consultation, we'll assess your equipment and recommend upgrades with clear ROI to fit your goals and budget.
