Elegant formal pool with integrated spa, stone fountain wall, and travertine decking in Nashville

No line items hidden behind upgrade packages. White-glove service from first consultation to final walkthrough, backed by 50+ years of experience and 6,000+ pools built across Middle Tennessee.

An aging pool doesn't have to be a liability. At Waterscapes, we approach every renovation with the same design rigor and craft standard we apply to new construction. No cookie-cutter resurfacing bids, no crews cycling through jobs on a production schedule.

What We Renovate

Interior Surface Replacement

Step up from plaster to pebble aggregate, or simply restore the original look. We prepare the shell correctly and apply the finish with the workmanship to make it last.

Tile & Coping Updates

Waterline tile and coping are the jewelry of a pool. Updating them dramatically changes the aesthetic without the cost or disruption of a full rebuild.

Equipment Modernization

Variable-speed pumps reduce energy consumption up to 90%. LED lighting, automation controls, salt chlorinators, we scope and install complete equipment packages.

Full Renovation & Redesign

When your pool's layout no longer fits how you live, we can redesign the deck, add a spa, install water features, or reconfigure the entire outdoor space.
