Reimagine Your Backyard Pool

Yes, absolutely. Many homeowners believe they are stuck with the pool shell they inherited when they bought their house, but structural remodeling allows for significant transformations. If you have an older pool with a deep end that rarely gets used, we can often modify the depth profile to create a "play pool" that is more conducive to volleyball, wading, and family activities. We can also alter the physical perimeter of the pool, adding curves or expanding the footprint to accommodate new features.

This is a complex construction process that requires a deep understanding of engineering and hydraulics, which is why experience matters. Aruba Pools has been established since 2011, and our founder, Jason Scism, has been working in the industry since 1999. We don't just patch over the old concrete; we use rigorous construction techniques to bond new materials to the existing structure safely. Because we are a "one-stop shop" that handles new builds and renovations alike, we have the technical expertise to execute structural changes correctly. Whether you want to add a large tanning ledge for lounging or completely reshape a geometric pool into a freeform lagoon, our team can evaluate your specific site conditions and develop a plan to make it happen.

Modernizing a pool is about more than just fresh plaster; it is about changing how you live in your backyard. Currently, the most requested feature we see in Round Rock and Austin is the addition of a "sun shelf" or tanning ledge. These shallow platforms allow you to place lounge chairs directly in the water, creating a resort-style experience that is perfect for cooling off without fully swimming. They are also excellent, safe play areas for small children and pets.

Another major upgrade is the integration of a custom spa or hot tub. Many older pools were built without them, but we can structurally add a spa that spills over into the main pool, providing both therapeutic relaxation and a beautiful visual focal point. We also frequently install aesthetic features like waterfalls, sheer descents, and bubbling fountains, which add the soothing sound of moving water to your environment. On the tech side, replacing old halogen lights with color-changing LED systems and upgrading to "wifi pool controls" are incredibly popular choices. These additions allow you to control the mood and function of your pool from your smartphone, bringing your backyard firmly into the 21st century.

While it is not strictly mandatory, we highly recommend evaluating your equipment pad during a remodel. If you are investing in the aesthetic beauty of your pool, it makes financial and functional sense to ensure the "engine" running it is up to the task. Older pumps and filters are often energy hogs that drive up your utility bills. Replacing a single-speed pump with a modern variable-speed pump can significantly reduce your monthly electricity costs, often paying for itself over time.

Furthermore, if you are adding new features like waterfalls, a spa, or a heater, your existing plumbing and pump capacity might not be sufficient to handle the increased load. Our team includes "certified technicians" and "Certified Pool Operators (CPOs)" who can perform a comprehensive audit of your current system. We can install "State-of-the-Art Equipment", including high-efficiency heaters and advanced automation systems, to ensure your remodeled pool runs as smoothly as it looks. Integrating these upgrades during the construction phase is often more cost-effective than trying to retrofit them later, and it ensures that your new "backyard oasis" is energy-efficient and easy to maintain from day one.

We understand that the idea of construction in your backyard can be stressful. Tearing out concrete and bringing in machinery is inherently messy, but at Aruba Pools, we treat your property with the utmost respect. We are a family-owned and operated business, and we approach every job site as if it were our own home. Our goal is to minimize disruption and keep the work area as tidy and contained as possible throughout the project.

We operate with a commitment to being "Prompt and Reliable", which means we stick to our schedules and communicate clearly about what is happening each day. We won't leave you guessing about when crews will arrive or how long a specific phase will take. Because we are "Fully Licensed and Insured" (TICL #1114), you can rest assured that we follow strict safety protocols to protect your home and our workers. While there will be noise and dust during the demolition phase, we work efficiently to move through the process quickly. Our "Personalized Approach" means we are always available to answer your concerns and ensure that the path to your dream pool is as smooth and "hassle-free" as possible.

At this time, Aruba Pools does not offer in-house financing directly. We are a dedicated pool service and construction company, not a financial institution. However, we strive to make the investment as accessible as possible through "Transparent Pricing" and "Competitive Pricing". We provide detailed, itemized quotes so you know exactly where every dollar is going, with no hidden fees or surprise charges at the end of the project.

For many of our clients in Round Rock and the surrounding areas, pool remodeling is financed through home improvement loans, home equity lines of credit (HELOCs), or personal loans secured through their own banks or credit unions. Because a pool remodel can significantly enhance your "property value", many lenders view it as a favorable investment in your home. We are happy to work with you to stage the project in a way that aligns with your budget, perhaps prioritizing structural repairs first and adding cosmetic upgrades later. Our goal is to help you achieve your "dream backyard" in a way that makes financial sense for your family.
