Burbank Pool Builders remodels existing gunite pools across the east San Fernando Valley and the hillside-adjacent neighborhoods of Los Angeles. A remodel goes past a refresh to reshape, resize, and re-engineer what you have, adding a spa, changing the footprint, terracing the deck into the slope, or rethinking the whole yard. We engineer the changes properly and build them with one crew.
- Reshaped and resized gunite shells
- Added spas, shelves, and raised walls
- Terraced decks and hardscape on slopes
- Re-engineered for the grade
- Design-build under one accountable crew
A remodel re-engineers, a renovation refreshes
A renovation replaces finishes and tile on the pool you already have. A remodel changes the pool itself, its shape, its footprint, its structural features, and how it sits in the yard. It is the right call when the existing pool no longer fits how you want to live outdoors, or when the original build never made good use of the slope it was set on.
Common remodels on our lots include adding an attached spa, building a raised wall or beam on a downhill edge, terracing the deck down a grade, deepening or reshaping the shell, and folding in new decking and outdoor living space. Because these touch the structure, they call for the same engineering rigor as a new build, especially on a hillside-adjacent lot where the loads are not trivial.
A remodel that cuts into the shell and the structure is worth doing once and doing right. We engineer the changes for the grade and the soil, then build them to last rather than bolting features onto a structure that was not designed to carry them.
Designing a remodel that fits the slope
A good remodel starts with what is not working about the pool you have. Maybe the shape is dated, the deck is too cramped for the way you entertain, the pool wastes a downhill view, or it simply lacks the spa or shallow area your family wants. We listen to all of it, then design a remodel that solves the real problems instead of adding features for their own sake.
We design the remodel around the parts of the pool worth keeping and around the lot it sits on. On a sloped or tiered yard, access, grade, and soil all shape what is possible, and designing with them in mind from the first sketch keeps the project buildable and the budget honest.
You see the remodel in plan and approve the design and the written price before we break into the existing pool. There are no surprises about scope or cost once we start cutting.
One crew from plan to plaster
A remodel can involve excavation, structural work, new retaining, fresh plumbing and equipment, new finishes, and new decking, which is exactly why a single design-build crew matters. We own every phase, so the new work integrates cleanly with the old shell and the project stays accountable from the first cut to the final inspection.
We sequence the remodel to keep as much of the backyard usable as the scope allows and to finish efficiently once the work begins. Throughout, we keep you posted on progress and what comes next.
