Expert pool renovation for Columbia & Lake Murray homeowners

With over 15 years of building and remodeling in-ground pools across the Columbia metro area, ASP of Columbia brings the structural knowledge and craftsmanship that only comes from constructing pools from the ground up. That deep expertise is what makes our remodeling work last.

Built for South Carolina's Climate

South Carolina's hot, humid subtropical climate means long swim seasons—but it also accelerates wear on pool surfaces and equipment. Our team selects resurfacing materials, tile, and coping specifically rated for the heat, UV exposure, and moisture levels common in the Columbia and Lake Murray areas, so your remodel holds up season after season.

Popular Pool Renovation Upgrades

From energy-efficient variable-speed pumps and LED color lighting to deck jets, bubblers, and spill-over spas, our most popular upgrades transform both the look and performance of your pool. We also specialize in saltwater conversions, sun shelf additions, and complete plaster-to-pebble resurfacing—giving aging pools a modern second life.

Honest Expert Guidance

Michael Duggan personally educates every client on the pros and cons of different pool systems, materials, and finishes for their specific backyard. No upselling—just honest recommendations backed by over a decade of hands-on experience building and renovating concrete, fiberglass, and vinyl liner pools across the region.

A Team That Goes Above & Beyond

From weekly maintenance to major renovations, our dedicated technicians—including Riley, Jay, Wesley, and David—consistently earn 5-star reviews for their professionalism and attention to detail. As one client put it: "Couldn't be happier with the ASP Columbia Team! Awesome folks that really know their business."

Choosing the Right Pool Remodel for Your Home

When it comes to pool remodeling in Columbia and Lake Murray, SC, homeowners have a wide range of options—from resurfacing materials and tile upgrades to new equipment, lighting, and water features. Standard plaster typically lasts 10–15 years before showing significant wear, meaning many pools built in the early 2000s are prime candidates for a renovation. Our team helps you navigate these choices to create a remodel plan that fits your goals and budget.

Resurfacing & Finish Options

Pool resurfacing is one of the most impactful upgrades you can make. Standard white plaster is the most affordable option but typically lasts 10–15 years. Pebble finishes offer superior durability (15–20 years) with a natural, textured look that hides imperfections. Quartz aggregate finishes split the difference—offering excellent longevity with a smoother feel and a wider range of color options.


For pools in South Carolina's hot, humid climate, we typically recommend pebble or quartz finishes for their resistance to chemical wear and UV staining over time.

Equipment & Efficiency Upgrades

Upgrading aging pool equipment can dramatically reduce energy costs and improve water quality. Variable-speed pumps—now required by DOE regulations for new installations—use up to 80% less energy than single-speed models. Modern salt chlorine generators reduce chemical handling and create silkier-feeling water. Smart automation systems let you control your pump, heater, lighting, and water features from your phone.


With South Carolina's long swim season, investing in energy-efficient equipment pays for itself quickly and keeps your pool running smoothly from March through November.
