Pool Remodeling in Arizona

Two hundred and eighteen pool companies in this directory do remodel, resurfacing or replastering work. That is marginally more than the number confirmed to build new pools, which tells you something about the Arizona market: renovating an existing pool is not a sideline here, it is roughly half the trade.

Fifty-eight of those companies remodel and do not build new at all. They are the specialists, and they are easy to miss, because on a general directory page they sit below the builders. If your pool needs a new surface rather than a new shell, those 58 are often exactly who you want, and the city pages below put them in front of you instead of behind.

The license question works differently for a remodel. Building a pool in Arizona requires a Registrar of Contractors license in a construction class: B-5, B-6, A-9, A-19, KA-5 or KA-6. Resurfacing, replastering and equipment work do not. A company holding CR-6, R-6 or C-6 is properly licensed for service and repair, and CR-6 is the most common pool license in the state. So a CR-6 holder quoting your resurfacing job is not cutting corners. A CR-6 holder quoting a new pool would be.

Pool remodeling by city

A remodel is rarely only the interior surface. Tile at the waterline, coping, decking, the equipment pad and sometimes the plumbing all reach the end of their life around the same time, which is why so many of the companies here also list decking, pavers and water features. Ask what the quote includes and what it leaves for later, because a surface-only price and a full-renovation price are different products.

Pick your city below. Each page lists only the companies in that city that confirm remodel work, with their license number and class where the Registrar's record matched. Cities with fewer than eight remodelers do not have their own page; use the main city directory and the Remodels and resurfacing tag to find them.

Common questions about pool remodeling in Arizona

Do I need a licensed contractor to resurface a pool in Arizona?

Arizona requires a Registrar of Contractors license for pool construction. Resurfacing and repair fall under the service classes, CR-6, R-6 and C-6, rather than the build classes. A company holding CR-6 is properly licensed for a resurfacing job. Check any license number at the Registrar before you pay a deposit.

Should I use a remodel specialist or a pool builder?

Both appear in this directory and both do the work. A remodel-only company does nothing else, so scheduling tends to be tighter and the crews do surfaces every week. A builder who also remodels may fit renovation work around new builds. Fifty-eight companies here remodel without building new.

Which Arizona cities have the most pool remodeling companies?

Phoenix has 45, followed by Scottsdale with 25, Gilbert with 24 and Tucson with 22. Mesa has 16, Surprise and Tempe have 11 each, Chandler has 9 and Glendale 8. Those nine cities have their own remodeling pages.

How were these companies chosen?

Each one states on its own website that it does remodel, renovation, resurfacing or replastering work. Nothing is paid placement. License numbers and classes come from the Arizona Registrar of Contractors posting list dated 2026-10-02.
