Remodel versus a straightforward renovation
A renovation refreshes a pool; a remodel reimagines it. Where a renovation swaps finishes and tile, a remodel can change the shape and footprint, add structural features, and rework how the whole backyard functions. It is the right move when the pool you have no longer suits the way you want to use a coastal home.
Common coastal remodels include squaring a dated freeform pool into clean modern lines, adding an attached spa, building a tanning shelf or zero-edge entry, and integrating new decking and outdoor living space that flows from the house. These are structural changes, so they call for the same design and engineering rigor as a new build.
Because a remodel reaches into the shell and the structure, it is worth doing once and doing well. We design the remodel around your goals, engineer the changes properly, and build them to hold up in the marine environment.
Remodeling compared to a simple refresh
A good remodel starts with what is not working about the current pool. Maybe the shape feels dated, the deck is too tight for entertaining, the pool turns its back on the view, or it lacks the spa or shallow area the family wants. We listen to all of it, then design a remodel that solves the real problems instead of piling on features for their own sake.
We design the remodel to work with the parts of the pool worth keeping and to fit the coastal lot it sits on. Access, grade, soil, and setbacks all shape what is possible, and designing with them in view keeps the project buildable and the budget honest.
You see the remodel in 3D and approve the design and the written price before we open up the existing pool. There are no surprises about scope or cost once the work begins.
One responsible crew, no handoffs
A remodel can involve excavation, structural work, new plumbing and equipment, fresh 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 and the project stays accountable start to finish.
We sequence the remodel to keep the backyard usable as long as possible and to finish efficiently once the work begins, and we keep you posted on progress throughout.
If your coastal pool no longer fits your backyard, call 213-589-2730 for a free consultation and a remodel designed around the way you actually want to live outside.
