South Carolina: 87 pool builders and 2 specialists confirm this work on their own websites — 21 state a SC contractor license. Grouped by area below.
Upstate clay, coastal salt air and long swim seasons wear out plaster, tile and decking, so remodeling is a large share of what South Carolina pool contractors do. The builders below describe remodeling, resurfacing, replastering or pebble refinishing on their own websites. Many also build new pools; a few are remodel-only and are marked that way on their profiles.

The case for a pool in South Carolina is a long, hot season: in the Midlands and on the coast a heated pool is usable from spring into fall, and an unheated one from roughly late May to September. The case against is everything the brochure leaves out. Electricity for the pump and any heater, chemicals, water, a cover, an annual opening and closing in the Upstate, and a resurfacing or liner replacement every so often are the running costs. The barrier is a legal requirement, not an option, and it is inspected before the final. Property tax rises in the year after the build. Insurance may rise. Pollen season in the spring turns the surface yellow for weeks, and a pool under oaks or pines means a lot of skimming. Time is the cost most people underestimate: a pool without an automatic cleaner and a variable-speed pump on a timer takes hours a week. If you will swim several times a week for four or five months, the sums usually work; if the pool is for the two weeks the grandchildren visit, a community pool or a membership is cheaper. The honest test is how many days you would actually use it.
The structure and the surface have different lives. A properly built gunite or shotcrete shell is expected to last for many decades; what wears is the interior plaster, pebble or quartz finish, which is redone on a cycle of years, and the tile, coping and equipment, which are replaced as they fail. A fiberglass shell is a single moulded piece, and well-made ones have been in the ground for decades; after 25 years the typical issues are a faded or chalky gelcoat, spider cracks in the surface layer, and older plumbing and equipment, all of which can be addressed without replacing the shell, though an in-place refinish of fiberglass is a specialist job. A vinyl liner pool's walls and floor last a long time, but the liner itself is a consumable, replaced several times over the pool's life. In South Carolina, Upstate freeze-thaw cycles are hard on coping, tile lines and any water left in exposed plumbing, and coastal salt air and salt-water chlorination are hard on metal fittings and some stone. Equipment is the shortest-lived part everywhere: pumps, heaters and salt cells are replaced several times before the shell needs anything structural.
