Reno Pool Builders provides professional pool demolition & removal in Reno, NV for homeowners across the Truckee Meadows. 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. On low ground near the river and out in Lemmon Valley, pumping a shell dry in spring can float it, so we relieve hydrostatic pressure through the floor before any machine touches the deck.
The City of Reno and Washoe County want a demolition permit, capped and inspected gas and electrical, and fill placed and compacted in documented lifts against a soils report if anything will ever bear on that ground.
We schedule after thaw, because density tests fail in frozen or saturated soil.
We will also tell you when a partial fill is the honest answer for a large lot nobody will build on, and when only a full excavation protects a future addition, garage, or ADU.
Nevada makes you disclose the removal at resale, so you get the permit, the inspection sign-off, and the compaction report in hand.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, variable-speed pumps, cartridge and DE filtration — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Reno and nearby communities including Sparks, Carson City, Fernley, Sun Valley.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool demolition & removal
The difference between pool demolition & removal that lasts and pool demolition & removal that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with gunite and shotcrete construction, PebbleTec and pebble aggregate finishes, polished quartz plaster, saltwater chlorination, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Reno job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Truckee Meadows means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
