This Buckhead commercial pool renovation by Allen Pool Service transformed an aging facility into a safe, elegant, and energy-efficient space. The project included new travertine coping, LED lighting upgrades, resurfaced pool decking, updated deck drains, and an acid wash for a refreshed finish — all contributing to improved functionality, safety, and long-term appeal.
Commercial pools in high-traffic areas like Buckhead require periodic upgrades to stay safe, compliant, and visually appealing. Over time, weather exposure and heavy use can cause surface wear, outdated finishes, and reduced efficiency. For this property, we were tasked with giving the pool a full facelift — blending timeless design with durable materials and modern technology.
The renovation began by draining the pool and removing the outdated brick coping. Brick coping, while once popular, can crack, shift, and discolor over time. Replacing it not only improved the pool’s appearance but also helped ensure a smoother, safer edge for swimmers. This step laid the groundwork for a more contemporary finish and better long-term performance.
Installing New Travertine CopingAllen Pool Service installed 2-inch thick, 12×24 Walnut travertine coping, providing a luxurious and durable upgrade. Travertine is a top choice for pool renovations because it stays cool underfoot, resists slipping, and adds a high-end aesthetic that complements commercial properties. The Walnut tone delivers a warm, natural look that enhances the surrounding architecture and landscaping.
Next, the pool’s lighting was upgraded to energy-efficient LED fixtures. LEDs offer brighter illumination, customizable color options, and longer lifespan compared to traditional incandescent bulbs. For commercial properties, this means improved nighttime visibility, enhanced safety, and reduced operating costs — all while creating a more inviting ambiance for guests.
Proper drainage is crucial for maintaining a safe pool deck. Allen Pool Service installed new deck drains to ensure water flows away from walking areas, reducing slip hazards and preventing long-term water damage to the decking and coping materials. This update enhances both safety and the structural integrity of the pool area.
The existing pool deck was resurfaced and finished with a spray-deck coating in Tea and Cream — a stylish, slip-resistant surface that brightens the area and withstands Georgia’s weather conditions. Beyond aesthetics, this coating improves traction, lowers surface temperature, and provides easy maintenance for commercial staff.
To complete the renovation, Allen Pool Service performed a professional acid wash of the pool’s interior. This process removes stains, algae buildup, and mineral deposits, restoring the pool’s surface to a fresh, clean appearance. It’s an important maintenance step that ensures the renovated pool looks as good as new when refilled.
This Buckhead renovation showcases our expertise in combining design, safety, and performance. Every element — from travertine coping to LED lighting — was chosen to deliver lasting value and a modern aesthetic. The result is a revitalized pool that not only enhances the property’s appearance but also improves functionality for years to come.
