About Venice Gardens
Venice Gardens is an unincorporated community in Sarasota County near Venice, with about 3,400 residents at the 2020 census. It covers about a square mile, mostly land, at an elevation of about 16 feet.
Although it shares the Venice name and sits next to the city, Venice Gardens is outside city limits and is administered by Sarasota County.
Pool Remodeling Sarasota connects Venice Gardens homeowners with independent, licensed local contractors. The contractor you choose handles the inspection, estimate, permits, work and warranty; we do not build pools ourselves. Call 941-280-5955 at any hour.
Older pools in Venice Gardens
Venice Gardens has established neighborhoods with many older pools. Common projects are new finishes, new tile and safer decks.
Coordinating the finish, tile and deck in one project means the pool is drained only once and the work is done in the right order.
Popular projects in Venice Gardens
These are the services Venice Gardens homeowners most often start with:
- Pool Resurfacing: a new finish for an older pool
- Pool Deck Remodeling: a cooler, slip-resistant deck
- Pool Tile Replacement: new waterline tile to match
The services page covers all six, with options and questions to ask.
Plan the work in one pass
Coordinate the finish, tile and deck in one project if you can. The pool is drained once, the work is done in the right order and the new finish is protected while the deck is being replaced.
Venice Gardens permit basics
Sarasota County Planning and Development Services reviews and inspects pool work at unincorporated addresses. Either county permit center can help: 1001 Sarasota Center Blvd. in Sarasota, or 4000 S. Tamiami Trail in Venice (contact details).
Expect a permit for a new pool, a new heater or gas line, new circuits or lighting, structural deck work and most enclosure work. Florida's Residential Swimming Pool Safety Act adds a safety-feature requirement for every new residential pool.
Your Venice Gardens checklist
- Plan finish, tile and deck work as one project.
- Ask about slip-resistant deck surfaces.
- Verify the contractor's license with the DBPR license search and ask for proof of insurance.
- Ask who pulls the permit and who schedules each inspection.
What projects cost
HomeGuide puts the average deck resurfacing job near $6,200, with most 500 to 900 square foot decks between $1,500 and $10,800. Sealing adds about $1 to $3 per square foot, and coping, which Angi lists at $30 to $50 per linear foot, is often replaced at the same time. 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. These are national figures, not Venice Gardens quotes; ask for an itemized estimate so you can compare bids line by line.
Next steps
Take a few photos of the pool, the deck and the equipment pad, jot down what bothers you about each, and then call 941-280-5955 or use the estimate form. With your consent, the request goes to a contractor who serves Venice Gardens when one is available. They follow up, look at the pool in person and put a written estimate together. Submitting does not book anything.

Venice Gardens pool remodeling FAQ
Who issues pool permits in Venice Gardens?
Venice Gardens is unincorporated, so permits generally go through Sarasota County, not the City of Venice.
What is the best deck surface for safety?
Textured coatings, pavers and travertine are common slip-resistant choices. Ask contractors to compare them for heat and maintenance.
Can I do the deck later?
You can, but doing it with the resurfacing usually saves time and protects the new finish.
