Renovating a 100-Year-Old Pool Into Something Brand New
Why renovate instead of rebuild?
Preserve property value: Historic homes with original pools often attract buyers looking for authentic charm. Renovating instead of replacing keeps that character intact.
Cost-effective upgrades: In some cases, restoring the structure and updating systems can be more affordable than a full tear-out and rebuild, especially for large or uniquely shaped pools.
Blend old and new: Modern finishes like pebble resurfacing, LED lighting, and automation bring today’s technology into a historic setting without losing the pool’s original identity.
Sustainability: Renovating reuses the existing structure, reducing waste and impact compared to a full demolition.
Some pools aren’t just part of a backyard — they’re part of a property’s history. This 100-year-old pool renovation in St. Petersburg is the perfect example of how a carefully managed renovation can bring an aging structure back to life and make it shine for another century.
Instead of demolishing the pool and starting over, we worked closely with the homeowner to preserve the original footprint and character while completely updating the finishes, systems, and style. By using our specialist subcontractor model, every phase was handled by experts: structural repair crews stabilized the old shell, plumbing specialists installed new lines, tile and coping artisans created a modern look, and decking crews gave the entire outdoor area a fresh, contemporary feel.
The result is a pool that looks brand new but carries the heritage of the property. For many homeowners in Pinellas County, especially in St. Petersburg’s historic neighborhoods, this approach offers more than just a financial benefit — it preserves the story of the home while adding real value to the property.

Most pool companies rely on the same crew for every step of the build, which can lead to uneven quality and delayed timelines. At Plankey Custom Pools, we take a different approach.

The result is higher craftsmanship, smoother scheduling, and long-lasting value, giving homeowners and business owners a level of quality and transparency that many traditional builders struggle to match.
