You want a pool that looks great, runs efficiently, and holds up for years in Woodbridge’s unpredictable climate.
We modernize surfaces, upgrade pumps and heaters, and add smart lighting or safety features. Your pool ends up looking better, using less energy, and staying safer for family and guests.

We know trust matters with renovations, so our team uses proven materials and local know-how to avoid costly mistakes. We make sure your project meets codes and stands up to Virginia’s weather.
We’ll walk you through which upgrades offer the best return, what timeline to expect, and how professional maintenance keeps your investment running its best.

We focus on practical upgrades that make your pool safer, lower your energy bills, and refresh its look. Our team serves Woodbridge and nearby areas in Virginia, Maryland, and DC.
We recommend working with a reputable contractor for results that last.
We swap out old equipment for energy-efficient options like variable-speed pumps, high-efficiency heaters, and LED pool lights. These upgrades cut your energy use and utility bills.
We upgrade filtration systems to cartridge or high-rate sand filters for clearer water and less chemical demand.
Our team handles structural repairs like replastering, coping replacement, and crack repair. For resurfacing, we offer plaster, pebble, and quartz finishes that work well with local climate and soil.
We install automation systems and salt-chlorination units so you can control schedules and chemical levels from your phone.
As a licensed, experienced company, we coordinate permits, inspections, and warranty-supported parts for jobs across Virginia, Maryland, and DC.
We update tile and coping to refresh your pool’s style and fix damage from harsh winters and hot summers. Mosaic tile accents, bullnose coping, and natural stone decking are popular choices—they resist slips and hold up to pool chemicals.
We offer a range of finish colors—white plaster, pebble sheen, or quartz blends—that change the water’s tone and affect maintenance needs. Lighting upgrades with color-changing LED fixtures make nighttime swims more enjoyable and turn your pool into a focal point.
We can add water features like spillways, bubblers, and vanishing edges. These features go inside the pool and add a wow factor. All our aesthetic work blends with the landscape and deck materials you already have, keeping things cohesive in Woodbridge neighborhoods.
We install safety features such as pool covers, alarms, and non-slip decking to meet local safety standards and lower liability. Handrails, updated steps, and code-compliant ladders make pools easier and safer for everyone.
We tweak circulation patterns and add skimmers or main-drain upgrades to improve water turnover and cut down on algae. For families, we recommend variable-depth options, fencing, and compliance with Virginia and regional safety codes.
We offer maintenance plans and operator training so you’ll understand chemical dosing, automation, and seasonal winterization. With Dolphin Pool Services, you get installation that follows local codes and equipment with proper warranties.

We focus on reliable upkeep that protects your renovation investment, keeps your water safe, and helps you avoid big repair bills later.
You’ll get clear schedules, targeted chemical care, and local technicians who handle routine work and urgent repairs.
After a renovation, new surfaces, equipment, and systems need close attention for the first season. We recommend weekly service visits for at least the first three months.
We monitor plaster curing, liner seating, and new tile grout. Small issues like hairline leaks, uneven water lines, or early scale build-up show up quickly and cost less to fix if we catch them early.
We log every visit and adjust schedules if needed. Those records help us spot trends in chemical use or equipment wear.
With Dolphin Pool Services, you know warranty items get inspected and documented the right way.
We test free chlorine, pH, total alkalinity, and calcium hardness at regular intervals. For renovated pools, we test twice a week until things stabilize, then move to weekly checks.
We aim for pH 7.2–7.8 and free chlorine 1.0–3.0 ppm—unless your pool has a salt system or specialty finish that needs something different.
We inspect and tune filtration, pumps, heaters, and automation. After upgrades, variable-speed pump settings, filter backwash frequency, and heater controls often need reprogramming.
We replace worn seals, check electrical connections, and clean strainers to prevent failures that could void your equipment warranty.
We send out trained technicians, licensed plumbing support, and insurance-backed work for repairs and routine care.
Being local matters in Woodbridge. We know about freeze-thaw cycles, heavy pollen, and county rules that affect chemical handling and safety devices.
Our service plans include written estimates, service records, and emergency response options. We tailor plans to your renovated system—like adding salt-cell checks for salt-chlorination or more frequent testing for eco-friendly oxidizers.
When you rely on Dolphin Pool Services, you get consistent chemistry and documented care for resale or warranty claims.
We handle spring opening, winterization, and mid-season tune-ups with clear steps and up-front pricing.
For openings, we remove covers, refill to the right level, shock and balance the water, and run the filter 24–48 hours while watching for leaks. For closings, we lower water to safe levels, winterize lines, and add long-term algaecide if needed.
We offer several packages: Weekly Maintenance, Biweekly Checks, Seasonal Full Service (opening + weekly + closing), and Emergency-Only contracts.
Each package spells out the tasks, visit frequency, and parts included. You pick a plan based on pool size, new equipment type, and how much you want us to handle.

We get a lot of questions about how to refresh a pool, what to check before resurfacing, which finishes offer the best value, how long projects take in Woodbridge, and whether greener options exist.
We recommend hiring licensed, insured contractors with strong local reviews and a solid service history.
Dolphin Pool Services has earned great feedback from homeowners for reliable work and recent projects.
We always stress using a reputable company like us so you get proper permits, quality materials, and reliable warranties.
We suggest replacing the liner with a modern pattern for a quick upgrade.
Adding new coping, a deck skirt, or LED lighting can also boost looks and usability.
We handle liner removal, framing repairs, and safe reinstallation for a finish that lasts.
We check the shell for cracks, delamination, or other structural issues before resurfacing.
Pool size, water chemistry history, equipment age, and Woodbridge’s climate all affect what materials and timing make sense.
We’ll also review your budget, expected finish lifespan, and warranty terms before recommending a plan.
Plaster—white or colored—usually costs the least up front and works well for concrete pools that need a new interior.
Aggregate finishes like pebble or quartz cost more but last longer and resist staining, so you get better lifetime value.
We’ll help you match finish choice to your maintenance preference, budget, and how long you want it to last.
Minor updates like replastering or liner replacement usually take about 1–2 weeks, including draining and curing time.
Bigger projects—tile replacement, equipment upgrades, or structural repairs—can take 3–8 weeks, depending on the scope and inspection schedules.
We provide a detailed timeline and keep you updated so everything stays on track.
Absolutely. At Dolphin Pool Services, we install energy-efficient pumps, variable-speed motors, LED lighting, and high-efficiency heaters. These upgrades help cut down on energy use.
We also offer alternative surfaces like certain pebble or quartz finishes. These can lower the need for chemicals. Our automation controls let you optimize water and chemical use without hassle.
We’ll help you pick green upgrades that fit your goals and work with the local climate. It’s a great way to reduce operating costs and your environmental impact.
