Pool remodels and resurfacing in the Las Vegas valley

Common remodel and resurfacing projects

• Replacing a worn or stained interior finish.
• New waterline tile or coping.
• Updating steps, benches or a spa.
• Adding a cover, which SNWA says can cut evaporation by about 90 percent.
• Updating the safety barrier, gates or door alarms.

Things to check before work starts

• Ask your city or Clark County building department whether your project needs a permit before work starts.
• If the pool will be drained, pool water must go to the sanitary sewer through the clean-out, not to the street or storm drain.
• If you are in an HOA, check whether the association needs to approve the change.
• Check the contractor's license with the Nevada State Contractors Board.
