Your pool renovation details
Your estimate sits within the typical range.
Interior surfaces last roughly 10 to 15 years. If yours is rough, stained or leaking, resurfacing is usually the first job worth doing.
Draining and refilling a pool for renovation is itself a cost, and an empty concrete pool can lift or crack in wet ground, so timing and ground water matter.
