Historic Pool Restoration

Historic Pool Restoration

Preserving Miami's vintage pools with period-appropriate techniques.

From Coral Gables' 1920s Mediterranean Revival estates to Mid-Century Modern pools in Miami Shores, we specialize in restoring South Florida's aquatic architectural heritage.

Our team carefully replicates original hydraulic tile patterns using modern waterproofing methods. We've sourced hard-to-find 1940s-era coping stones from local quarries for several historic district projects. For Art Deco pools, we offer authentic color-matching of Depression glass tiles.

All restoration work meets Miami Preservation Board guidelines while upgrading systems for efficiency. Recent projects include replastering a 1938 pool at Vizcaya and restoring original filtration at The Biltmore Hotel.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you restore my pool's original terrazzo deck?

Yes, we work with local artisans who still practice traditional terrazzo techniques common in 1950s Miami construction. The process takes 3-5 weeks for proper curing.

Do you handle landmark designation applications?

We consult on the pool-specific requirements for Miami-Dade's historic preservation program, having helped 17 properties gain protected status since 2019.
