Can the preview show different finish colors — white plaster versus a dark quartz or pebble aggregate?

Yes. Water color is driven almost entirely by the finish color, not the water itself — a white marcite plaster reads pale blue, while a dark aggregate finish reads deep blue-black or tropical teal in the same sunlight. Run a separate preview for each finish under consideration so the homeowner is comparing their actual pool, not a manufacturer's sample chip.

Does it work for vinyl liner and fiberglass pools, or only gunite and shotcrete resurfacing jobs?

Yes. The AI works from a photo of the existing pool regardless of shell material — gunite, shotcrete, vinyl liner, or fiberglass. It's just as useful for a liner replacement estimate as it is for a full plaster-to-pebble resurface.

Are pool and yard photos stored or retained?

That's your call, not ours — it's your software. We build the storage and retention policy around what your business needs and make sure it meets GDPR, CCPA, or any other regulation that applies to your market. No training on your data, ever.

There's no off-the-shelf plan, so there's no published price list. Share your details and we'll discuss project scope and pricing on a free consultation call — see /pricing for details.

Can it show new waterline tile and coping alongside the resurfaced interior?

Yes. The preview can combine a new interior finish with new waterline tile and coping in a single image, since most renovation contracts bundle those three line items together. Homeowners see the full deck-to-water package, not just a plaster swatch.

Can I preview adding a tanning ledge, raised spa, or water feature as part of the remodel?

Yes — describe the addition when you run the preview. Tanning ledges, raised spas, sheer descents, and bubblers are common upsells during a renovation, and showing them built into the homeowner's actual pool shape, not a stock catalog photo, is what turns a resurface-only quote into a full remodel contract.

Can it show new decking material — pavers, stamped concrete, or travertine — replacing the existing deck?

Yes. The AI can replace the surrounding deck surface in the same preview as the resurfaced pool, since deck and pool renovation are frequently sold as one project. Homeowners weighing cracked, sun-faded concrete against travertine or paver options can see both changes together in their own backyard.

How is this different from the 3D pool design software our sales team already uses?

3D pool design tools are built for laying out a new pool from scratch — shape, plumbing runs, equipment pads. This tool starts from a photo of the pool that already exists in the ground and applies the finish, tile, coping, and decking changes directly onto it. It's a closing tool for the walkthrough, not a design or engineering platform, and it produces a result in seconds instead of a modeling session.

What is a pool renovation preview preview?

A pool renovation preview tool uses AI to generate a photorealistic image of what an existing pool will look like after resurfacing, retiling, or a full remodel. The contractor photographs the pool in its current condition — faded plaster, dated coping, whatever it looks like today — and the tool produces a before-and-after showing the new interior finish, waterline tile, coping, and decking applied to that homeowner's actual pool and yard. Pool renovation companies use this during the on-site estimate to convert quotes into signed contracts before the homeowner gets a second bid.

Why it matters

Pool resurfacing isn't a discretionary upgrade — gunite and shotcrete plaster degrades over 10 to 20 years into a rough, stained surface that scrapes bare feet and throws off water chemistry, so most owners already know the work is coming. What stalls the sale is the upsell: a simple replaster runs roughly $8,000–$15,000, but adding waterline tile, new coping, a tanning ledge, or a full deck tear-out can push the same project to $40,000–$80,000 or more, and either way the pool sits drained and unusable for two to four weeks while plaster cures. Homeowners who can't picture what the extra spend actually buys default to the cheapest like-for-like resurface, or shop two or three more contractors before signing anything.

Who uses this

Pool resurfacing and remodeling contractors running the on-site estimate. Pool builders who've added a renovation division alongside new construction. Sales reps for regional resurfacing franchises presenting finish and tile boards poolside instead of in a showroom. Pool service and repair companies expanding into remodel work after years of maintaining the same clients' equipment.

Heard this from a homeowner?

Homeowners hold up a quartz or pebble aggregate sample the size of a coaster and ask what their water will actually look like. A chip that small can't answer that question.

They know the 20-year-old plaster is cracked and stained, but they hesitate to drain a pool that "still holds water fine" without seeing what the upgrade buys them.

You show photos of a renovated pool from a past job. They say "our pool is a different shape and our patio is a different stone — that doesn't tell me anything about mine."
