Historic Pool Restoration

Historic Pool Restoration

Preserving Miami's iconic 1920s-60s pool designs.

Many historic districts from West Palm Beach to Miami Beach feature original gunite pools with hand-laid tile work. Our restoration team specializes in period-appropriate repairs using modern materials that meet preservation standards.

For Art Deco pools, we source reproduction tiles from local manufacturers and use low-pressure cleaning to protect fragile surfaces. In 1950s CBS homes common in Coral Gables, we repair coping without disturbing the original stucco exterior.

All projects begin with archival research at the Miami Design Preservation League to ensure historical accuracy. We're one of few contractors approved to work on designated landmarks like the Venetian Pool.
