Pool Renovation in High Meadow Ranch and Magnolia, TX

[PAGE PHOTO — renovation project, before/after if available, wooded setting preferred]

High Meadow Ranch has been around since the late 1990s, and some of the most beautiful custom pools in the community are starting to need attention. Plaster ages. Tile fades. Equipment that was cutting-edge fifteen years ago is now inefficient and outdated. If your pool is showing its age, a renovation can make it feel new again — and in many cases, make it better than it ever was.

The Pool Man's renovation team has been working in this corridor for years. We've seen the specific issues that come with acreage properties in Montgomery County — hard water mineral buildup, clay soil that can stress pool structures, and equipment that's been running continuously in Texas heat for over a decade. We know what to look for and how to address it.


What Pool Renovation Typically Looks Like in This Area

On a large custom home lot like those in High Meadow Ranch and Estates, pools are often substantial. A renovation scope here might be more involved than a typical suburban pool, but it's also more rewarding — there's more to transform.

Common projects we handle for homeowners in this area:

  • Full resurfacing — Replastering an existing pool gives it a completely fresh look and feel. We offer basic plaster, Pebble Tec, quartz, and exposed aggregate finishes. For a large custom pool on an acreage lot, the finish choice makes a real statement.
  • Tile and coping replacement — High-end coping in travertine or natural stone complements the character of homes in this community far better than the standard materials installed 15 to 20 years ago. Pair it with updated tile and you have a pool that looks custom and current.
  • Deck replacement or resurfacing — Large decks around acreage pools can develop significant cracking over time as the clay soil shifts seasonally. We resurface with spray-deck or replace entirely with travertine and natural stone.
  • Rock and water feature restoration — Many of the older pools in High Meadow Ranch have elaborate rock work, grottos, and waterfalls. Over time, these develop calcium buildup, fading, and structural wear. We restore them with bead blasting, acid washing, and recoating.
  • Equipment modernization — Replacing an old single-speed pump, heater, and control system with a modern variable-speed setup and smart automation pays for itself in energy savings over time and gives you far more control.
  • Structural repairs — Leaks, cracks, and plumbing issues that have developed over the years. We assess and repair these as part of the renovation scope.

Our Renovation Team

Renovations are led by Laurie Barry, who has managed hundreds of projects across the Houston area and brings a designer's eye to the process. She attends every initial site assessment, helps you think through material choices, and manages the schedule throughout. Daniel King oversees the physical work on-site, coordinating the various crews and making sure each phase is done to standard before the next one begins.

The thing customers mention most consistently about working with them is communication. On a renovation project at a home you're living in, knowing who's coming, when they're arriving, and what they're doing that day matters a lot. Laurie and Daniel take that seriously.


What Our Customers Say

"We knew it was time. Our pool and spa were built about 25 years ago and after all those years the plaster was worn, the tile discolored, the coping and deck looked tired, and the heater had finally quit. Laurie came out to assess the project and we immediately felt confident in her knowledge and experience. I ran my own service business for more than 40 years and I've always believed people hire people. You build trust by explaining what you'll do, then doing it well — on time and on budget. Laurie and Daniel did exactly that."

— Mark G., River Oaks, Houston

"We highly recommend The Pool Man for pool and deck resurface and remodel. Laurie was the project manager and was very helpful with remodeling ideas and in the selection of tiles, pavers, and Pebble Tec. She was great at regularly communicating the work schedule and visiting the site almost daily to review progress. As a result there were no major surprises or issues, and they even tailored their work schedule around our vacation plans."

— Nitin S., Avalon at Seven Meadows, Katy


Wondering If Your Pool Is Ready for a Renovation?

A few things that usually tell us it's time:

  • The plaster feels rough or gritty when you run your hand along it
  • There are stains that won't respond to chemical treatment
  • The tile line at the watermark is discolored, cracked, or falling off
  • The deck has visible cracks, staining, or an outdated look
  • Your pump, heater, or automation system is more than 10 years old
  • You've noticed unexplained water loss that points to a leak

Any of those sound familiar? That's a good reason to call us and have Laurie take a look. The assessment is free and there's no pressure — she'll tell you what she sees and give you a clear picture of your options.
