Waterline Tile & Coping

Fresh waterline tile and new coping: the frame of your pool and the first thing everyone sees.

Waterline tile takes the sun, the chemistry and the scale line every single day. Coping takes the foot traffic and the weather. When either one cracks, pops loose or simply dates the pool, replacing them is what makes a remodel read as brand new.

We work with glass, porcelain and stone tile from lines like National Pool Trends and Lunada Bay, and coping in travertine, natural stone, pavers or poured concrete, detailed to match your deck.

Questions

Waterline Tile & Coping: FAQ

Can I replace tile without resurfacing the pool?

Yes, but the pool has to be partially drained and the finish near the tile line is usually disturbed. When the interior is near the end of its life, doing both at once saves a second drain and a second mobilization.

Why does coping crack or lift?

Usually from missing or failed expansion joints between the coping and the deck, settling of the deck, or a weakened bond beam. We find the cause first so the new coping stays put.
