About This Project
The beachfront properties along the Venice and Nokomis coastline present unique challenges for pool maintenance and renovation. Salt air, high humidity, and the intense Florida sun accelerate wear on pool surfaces and decks: and the high-traffic use typical of resort and condominium pools means that materials need to be durable, slip-resistant, and easy to maintain.
Pool Creations completed a series of renovations for beachfront resort and condominium properties in the Venice / Nokomis area, including full pool shell resurfacing, grand paver deck renovation, and staircase replacement. The grand staircase project, with its large-format travertine-style pavers and iron railings, was designed for high-traffic resort use while maintaining the aesthetic character of the beachfront property.
For the condominium pool resurfacing projects, Pool Creations applied a fresh plaster finish, updated the coping, and installed new paver surrounds. All projects were completed with minimal disruption to residents and guests, and Pool Creations managed all permits with the City of Venice and Sarasota County.

Permit or engineering complications solved
Pool Creations coordinated the renovation scope, safety markers, access rails and permit requirements with the City of Venice and Sarasota County while planning work around an occupied resort and condominium setting.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Pool Creations do commercial pool resurfacing in Venice and Nokomis, FL?
Yes. Pool Creations resurfaces commercial pools, including resort pools, condominium pools, hotel pools, and HOA pools, throughout Venice, Nokomis, and the surrounding area. We are a licensed Florida pool contractor (CPC1458354) and an authorized applicator for PebbleTec and StoneScapes finishes.
What pool finishes are best for a beachfront or saltwater-adjacent pool?
For pools near the Gulf of Mexico or other saltwater environments, we recommend PebbleTec or StoneScapes pebble aggregate finishes over standard plaster. Pebble finishes are significantly more resistant to the salt-air environment, chemical fluctuations, and the high-traffic use typical of resort and condominium pools. Pool Creations is an authorized applicator for both brands.
What is involved in a commercial pool deck renovation?
A commercial pool deck renovation typically includes removing the existing deck surface, repairing the concrete substrate, installing new pavers or resurfacing material, replacing coping, and updating safety markings and depth markers. For high-traffic resort and condominium pools, Pool Creations uses large-format travertine-style pavers that are durable, slip-resistant, and stay cool underfoot in the Florida sun.
How long does a commercial pool resurfacing project take?
A commercial pool resurfacing project typically takes 2 to 4 weeks for the pool shell work, plus additional time for deck renovation if included. Pool Creations coordinates the schedule with the property management team to minimize downtime and, where possible, schedules work during the property's low season.
Does Pool Creations handle permits for commercial pool renovations in Sarasota County?
Yes. Pool Creations manages all permit applications with Sarasota County and the City of Venice for commercial pool renovation projects, including structural work, deck replacement, and equipment changes. We have an in-house permit team and long-standing relationships with local building departments.
