Every Pool Service We Offer in Reno, NV

Gunite and shotcrete pool construction is still the right way to build a pool that survives a Northern Nevada winter. We tie a steel rebar cage, pneumatically place the shell, and then let it cure properly, because a shell that cures correctly is a shell that does not spider-crack the first time the ground freezes and heaves at 4,500 feet.

Freeform, geometric, vanishing edge, tanning ledge with bubblers, raised spa with a spillover — the shape is your call, the structure is ours.

• shotcrete pool shell
• custom inground pool design

• freeform and geometric pool shapes
• tanning ledge and Baja shelf
• spa spillover pools

Gunite & Shotcrete Pool Construction in Reno, NV

Before we price a remodel here we ask a question most contractors skip: how many weeks a year do you actually swim? A Reno pool earns about ten of them and bills you for all twelve months, so a renovation has to be sequenced to return something rather than simply look newer.

Your first dollars go where the season and the operating cost live — a variable-speed pump, a heater sized for cold nights at 4,500 feet, automation that handles freeze protection without you remembering to, and a cover that stops the evaporation driving both the water bill and the chemical bill.

• pool renovation
• pool makeover
• raised bond beam and spa addition
• tanning ledge retrofit
• waterline tile replacement
• coping replacement
• deck resurfacing and expansion
• pool modernization

Pool Remodeling & Renovation in Reno, NV

Plaster is a wear layer, and in Northern Nevada it does not wear evenly, which changes both the diagnosis and the calendar. A pool dropped below its tile line every October spends seven months with a dry band at the top of the wall, cycling through freeze and thaw while the rest of the interior sits submerged.

That band is where failure tends to show first: hollow spots, flaking and delamination along a line, rather than the even chalking a year-round pool develops.

Interior finish is the one upgrade where the arithmetic works in a short season. Draining, chipping out and crew hours cost the same whatever goes back on the wall, so material is the only real variable, and material decides whether you are doing this again in ten years or in twenty-five.

That matters more here than in a warm valley, because you pay to own a Reno pool for twelve months and swim in it for roughly ten weeks, and a finish that fails early costs you an entire season to replace.

Waterline tile and coping are the trim on the whole project, and they are the first two things a buyer, a guest, or a home inspector actually notices. They are also where hard water does its most visible damage. Truckee Meadows water carries enough calcium that a neglected waterline builds a white crust in a couple of seasons, and once scale has etched into the glaze, cleaning stops working and replacement is the honest answer.

Pool decking is where you actually spend the day, and in Reno it takes more abuse than the pool does. Intense high-altitude UV, hundred-degree July afternoons, and a hundred-plus freeze-thaw cycles every winter will find any shortcut in the base prep. We build decks on properly compacted base with real drainage, correct expansion joints, and control joints placed where the concrete wants to crack instead of where it will be ugly.

• travertine pool deck
• paver pool deck

Spa and hot tub installation is the single upgrade that turns a Reno pool from a four-month amenity into a twelve-month one. Nothing beats 104-degree water outdoors at 25 degrees with snow on the Carson Range. We build integrated gunite spas that spill into the pool, raised spas with stone-faced bond beams and sheer descents, and standalone spas set on a proper pad with the electrical and bonding done correctly rather than run off an extension cord.

• gunite spa installation
• attached spa with spillover
• raised spa construction
• standalone hot tub installation
• spa jets and blowers
• spa heater installation

• spa electrical and bonding
• spa retrofit on existing pool

Pool water features and waterfalls are what make a backyard feel like somewhere other than your backyard, and they do practical work too: moving water covers freeway noise, which is worth real money on a lot backing onto I-80 or the Pyramid Highway.

We build natural rock waterfalls and grottos out of Sierra stone, sheer descents that drop a clean sheet of water off a raised wall, scuppers and spillways set into stacked-stone bond beams, bubblers on a tanning ledge, deck jets, laminar jets with LED cores, and fire-and-water bowls for the people who want the whole show.

The engineering behind a good feature is pump sizing and plumbing, not rock stacking.

Reno Pool Builders installs LED pool lighting for high-desert UV, freeze nights, and a swim season that packs hard use into warmer months. Clear air and altitude make sunlight harsh on lenses while winter cold freezes wet niches that were never drained after a warm autumn weekend. Night contrast is sharp in dry air, so glare and dark bands show quickly on close lots.

Automation is the difference between owning a pool and managing one. A modern controller runs your variable-speed pump on a schedule, fires the heater, switches valve actuators between pool and spa, sequences the lights, runs the waterfall, and lets you do all of it from your phone from a hotel room in Vegas.

We install and configure Pentair, Hayward, and Jandy systems, retrofit controls onto older equipment pads, and set up chemical automation with ORP and pH controllers that dose acid and chlorine based on what the water actually reads rather than what somebody guessed on Tuesday.

• pool automation installation
• Pentair and Hayward control systems

Pool heaters decide whether your Reno swim season runs ten weeks or six months, which makes them the least optional accessory in the high desert.

Unheated, a Truckee Meadows pool is genuinely pleasant from roughly late June to early September, and the cold clear nights the high desert is famous for pull heat straight back out of the water after dark.

We size and install natural gas heaters, propane heaters for properties out past the gas main, and heat pumps, and we are honest about which one fits your situation.

Pool Heaters & Heat Pumps in Reno, NV

Variable-speed pumps and filtration are where most of the running cost of a Reno pool actually lives, because the pump is the single largest energy consumer on most properties that have one. A variable-speed pump uses a permanent magnet motor and, because power draw falls dramatically as speed drops, running longer at low RPM filters better and costs far less than running short at full speed. It is also enormously quieter, which your neighbors will notice before you do.

Saltwater chlorination does not give you a chlorine-free pool, and any company implying otherwise is either confused or selling. It makes chlorine on site by passing a low salt-content water stream over a coated titanium cell, which means no more hauling jugs, more stable chlorine levels, and water that genuinely feels softer on skin and eyes. That last part is why most of our conversions happen: somebody in the house reacts badly to traditionally dosed chlorine.

Pool leak detection in the high desert starts with proving there is actually a leak, because Reno evaporation is severe enough to fake one convincingly. A bucket test settles it in a day: if the pool is dropping meaningfully faster than a bucket of water sitting on the step, you have a leak, and if it is not, you have July. Once we know it is a leak, we find it rather than guess.

Weekly pool cleaning and service in the high desert is not the same job it is in a mild coastal climate. Reno pools deal with hard fill water, heavy evaporation that concentrates calcium and salts, blowing dust and pine pollen, and intense UV at altitude that burns through stabilizer and chlorine faster than most owners expect.

Our weekly visit covers brushing walls and steps, netting and vacuuming, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, checking the filter pressure, inspecting the equipment pad, and balancing chemistry against actual test results — free chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, cyanuric acid, and saturation index, not just a dip strip and a shrug.

Pool winterization is the service that separates a Reno pool company from a Phoenix one, and the one most out-of-town builders forget to plan for. The Truckee Meadows sees well over a hundred sub-freezing nights in a normal winter, and water expanding inside PVC does not negotiate.

A proper winterization means dropping the level below the tile and skimmer mouths, blowing every line clear with compressed air, plugging returns, setting freeze plugs in the skimmers, draining the pump, filter, and heater completely, and either shutting the system down or configuring freeze protection to run circulation automatically when the ambient sensor drops.

Pool safety covers and fencing do four jobs at once in Northern Nevada: keeping children and pets out of the water, keeping snow and grit and pine needles out of the pool, cutting evaporation in a climate that evaporates aggressively, and holding heat overnight when the temperature drops thirty degrees after sunset.

An automatic safety cover does all four with a key switch, which is why we install more of them here than we would in a mild climate.

We also fit anchored mesh safety covers for a full winter close, solid covers for pools that will not be touched until spring, and solar covers with reels for owners chasing a longer season without a bigger gas bill.

A Reno pool earns its keep for maybe ten weeks a year and costs money for the other forty-two, which is why removal is a rational decision here far more often than it is in a warmer valley.

Freeze-thaw does most of the damage to a pool nobody maintained: water sits in the return lines, expands on a cold night, and by the third or fourth winter the shell has opened up at the skimmer and the light niche and is past economical repair. Groundwater matters too.

Everything listed on this page, for homeowners, across Reno and the Truckee Meadows. Work is done by our own crews rather than handed to whoever is cheapest that week, which is the only way the workmanship warranty means anything.

Yes, and it is usually cheaper. Bundling pool work into one mobilization saves setup, disposal and travel, and it means one crew, one schedule and one written free estimate instead of three contractors blaming each other.

Every one. We come out, measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and put an itemized free estimate in writing with materials and scope spelled out. No charge, no deposit, and no obligation to book.
