For about 1,000 square feet of surface: plaster runs about $6,000 to $8,000, quartz $7,000 to $10,000 and pebble finishes $7,000 to $15,000. New waterline tile and coping add to that.

A pump replacement typically runs $300 to $1,600 installed, and a variable-speed pump $800 to $2,000. Heaters run about $1,600 to $5,200 installed and heat pumps $2,000 to $6,000.

An independent local pool professional. We are a referral service: we pass your request to one professional who works your area. We do not clean, repair or build pools, and the professional you hire is responsible for the quote, the work, licensing and insurance.

A new residential pool must have at least one approved safety feature to pass final inspection: a barrier, an approved safety cover, exit alarms on doors and windows, self-closing and self-latching doors, or an approved pool alarm (s. 515.27). Your county may add rules.

Yes. Choose Spanish as your preferred language in the form and we will try to match you with a professional who speaks it. Much of Osceola and south Orange County is Spanish-speaking, and many pool pros here are too.

Many Orlando-area pool services send a short report or photo after each visit, which helps when you live elsewhere. Ask for it when you compare quotes, along with how they handle heater problems before guests arrive.
