We are a referral service, not a pool company.

The line, 863-216-6735, is answered 24/7.
Older lakeside and rural pools
Frostproof has older lakeside homes and rural properties among citrus land. Many pools have been in place for decades and benefit from a full refresh: finish, tile, deck and equipment together.
Rural lots may rely on wells, which affects water chemistry when the pool is refilled.
Services Frostproof homeowners ask about
In Frostproof, projects usually begin with one of these:
- Pool Resurfacing: a full refresh for an older pool
- Pool Tile Replacement: new waterline tile
- Pool Equipment: new pumps and filters
The services page covers all six, with options and questions to ask.
Plan the work in one pass
Coordinating several improvements in one project means the pool is drained once, and the new finish is protected from later deck or tile work.
Permits in Frostproof
Inside city limits, the City of Frostproof issues permits, not Polk County. The city can be reached at 863-635-7884, according to the Polk County Property Appraiser's permit agency list.
Unincorporated addresses go through Polk County's Building Division, 330 W. Church St. in Bartow (863-534-6080), with applications through its Access Portal. The county's Do I need a permit? page lists pool and spa repairs that involve structural elements, electrical, gas or solar work, or added equipment as permitted work.
New pools, structural repairs, new electrical or gas lines, added equipment and many deck and enclosure projects commonly need permits, while like-for-like cosmetic work may not. Every new residential pool in Florida also needs at least one approved safety feature under the Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act.
Your Frostproof checklist
- Plan finish, tile, deck and equipment work together.
- If you refill from a well, test the water first.
- Find out how long the pool will be empty and how start-up chemistry will be handled.
- Verify the contractor's license with the DBPR license search and ask for proof of insurance.
Budgeting for the project
Resurfacing is usually the biggest line. Angi puts the national average around $11,000, with most jobs between $6,000 and $15,000, and HomeGuide lists basic replastering at roughly $6,000 to $8,000. Pebble and quartz finishes cost more than plaster but tend to last longer. Tile pricing swings with the material. Angi lists ceramic at about $1 to $35 per square foot, porcelain at $2 to $56 and glass at $7 to $50, with labor making up as much as half the bill. Re-grouting sound tile is far cheaper than replacing it. Treat those as national reference points, not prices for Frostproof, and ask each contractor to break the estimate into labor, materials and permits.
Getting an estimate
The quickest start is a phone call to 863-216-6735. Have your address ready and a sentence or two about the project: resurfacing, tile, deck, equipment or something new. If you prefer, the estimate form asks the same questions. A local contractor can then reach out to arrange a visit, and you decide whether to go ahead.
