Pool painting often uncovers deck damage, concrete repairs, or facility painting needs. As a licensed general contractor, we handle it all under one roof. No coordinating multiple contractors. No delays waiting on other trades.
Commercial Pool Types We Service
We paint and coat commercial pools of all sizes across Central Ohio. Municipal recreation centers, fitness facilities, hotels, apartment complexes, and specialty aquatic facilities. Each pool type has different usage patterns, chemical exposure levels, and coating requirements. We match products to your facility's specific demands.
Pool Coating Services
Surface Preparation
Proper prep is 80% of a pool coating job. We remove old paint, algae stains, calcium deposits, and failed coatings down to clean substrate. Cracks and spalling get repaired before any coating goes on. We use dustless blasting, acid washing, or mechanical prep depending on your pool's condition.
Epoxy Pool Coatings
Commercial-grade epoxy provides the most durable finish with 7-10 year lifespan and excellent chemical resistance. Ideal for high-traffic municipal pools and fitness centers that need maximum durability.
Chlorinated Rubber Coatings
Rubber-based coatings offer good durability at lower cost with easier future recoating. A solid choice for apartment pools, HOA facilities, and properties on tighter maintenance budgets.
Deck Coatings
Pool decks need slip-resistant, UV-stable finishes that hold up to foot traffic, pool chemicals, and weather. We apply textured deck coatings that meet ADA requirements and keep your facility safe.
Concrete Repairs
Cracks, spalling, and surface damage get repaired before coating. Painting over damaged concrete leads to early failure. As a licensed general contractor, we handle structural repairs in-house.
Facilities We Service
Municipal Recreation Centers
Large-scale public pools with high bather loads and strict health department requirements. We use coatings rated for constant chemical exposure and schedule work around your programming calendar.
Fitness Centers & YMCAs
Lap pools and therapy pools in gym facilities. Slip-resistant deck coatings and durable basin finishes that hold up to daily use. We work around your operating hours to minimize member disruption.
Hotels & Resorts
Guest-facing pools that need to look as good as they perform. We schedule work during off-seasons or low-occupancy periods. Need the pool house painted too? We handle that.
Apartment & HOA Pools
Seasonal pools for residential complexes. We coordinate with property managers to complete work before pool season opens. Fast turnaround to minimize resident complaints.
Therapy & Rehabilitation Pools
Healthcare facility pools with specific coating requirements for patient safety and sanitation. We understand the compliance requirements these facilities face.

Interactive water features, lazy rivers, and splash pads with specialty coatings for UV resistance and slip prevention. Complex shapes and surfaces are no problem.

Our Pool Painting Process
Every commercial pool project follows the same proven workflow. Clear communication, thorough prep, professional application, and a final inspection before refilling. No surprises, no callbacks, no coating failures six months later.
Inspection & Estimate
We assess your pool's current coating condition, substrate integrity, and any structural issues. You get a detailed written estimate within 48 hours that breaks down prep work, coatings, and timeline. No hidden fees, no deposit required.
Surface Preparation
Old coatings, stains, and contaminants get removed down to clean substrate. We repair cracks, spalling, and damage before any coating goes on. Proper prep is the difference between coatings that fail in two years and coatings that last a decade.
Coating Application
Commercial-grade epoxy or chlorinated rubber coatings get applied in multiple coats with proper dry time between applications. We follow manufacturer specs for mixing, application, and cure times. The result is a uniform finish with proper film thickness.
Final Inspection
We verify complete coverage, proper adhesion, and coating integrity before refilling. You get a facility that's ready for years of heavy use. Final payment is due when you're satisfied with the completed work.

Commercial Pool Painting Questions
How long does commercial pool painting take?
Timeline depends on pool size and condition. Most commercial pools require 7-14 days including prep, painting, and cure time. We work with your schedule to minimize facility downtime and can phase work if needed.
What type of paint do you use for commercial pools?
We use commercial-grade epoxy and chlorinated rubber coatings rated for high-traffic aquatic facilities. Epoxy provides 7-10 year lifespan with excellent chemical resistance. Product selection depends on your pool surface, usage, and budget.
Do you handle draining and refilling?
We coordinate with your facility management on draining. Refilling typically happens after proper cure time — usually 5-7 days depending on coating type and weather conditions.
How long do commercial pool coatings last?
With proper prep and commercial-grade coatings, pool paint typically lasts 5-8 years depending on usage, water chemistry, and maintenance. Epoxy coatings generally outlast rubber-based options.
Do you repair pool surfaces before painting?
Yes. Cracks, spalling, and surface damage get repaired before coating. Painting over damaged surfaces leads to early failure. As a licensed general contractor, we handle concrete repairs in-house.
Can you work around our operating schedule?
Yes. We schedule commercial pool work during your off-season or planned closure periods. For year-round facilities, we discuss phased approaches or expedited timelines.
Do you paint pool decks too?
Yes. We apply slip-resistant, UV-stable deck coatings that meet ADA requirements. Deck work is often completed alongside basin coating for a complete renovation.
