Pool & Spa Remodeling in Anaheim Hills

City of Anaheim Planning and Building Department, Building Division. Anaheim Hills is part of the City of Anaheim, so residential permits are issued by the Planning and Building Department's Building Division, not by a separate city or by the county. Grading plans must comply with Anaheim Municipal Code Chapter 17.06, Grading, Excavations and Fills in Hillside Areas, and the city publishes a specific hillside grading plan procedure that requires security in the form of a surety bond, letter of credit or cash deposit, plus a landscape and irrigation bond for slopes over five feet with a minimum bond amount. Most of the area east of the 55 and 91 interchange falls under the Scenic Corridor (SC) Overlay Zone in Chapter 18.18 of the zoning code, which adds design and landscape standards. Portions of the canyon are mapped as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing the city.

Hillside pads carved into ridgelines, with flat frontage, a home near the street and a rear yard that drops away. Older Peralta Hills parcels are large, semi-rural and gently sloped; the newer ridge tracts are tighter with dramatic grade change. In practice that means ridge and canyon pads were created with substantial engineered fill, so verifying fill depth and compaction reports before setting a shell elevation is essential to avoid redesign mid-project..

All of it, including Anaheim Hills Estates, Peralta Hills, The Summit, Sycamore Canyon. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Anaheim Hills is a short run for our crews rather than a job we service from out of the area.

New pool construction in this market generally runs $70,000 to $150,000+. What moves it is size and shape, spa, water and fire features, decking material, automation, and how much access and grading the site needs. We give line-item pricing after seeing the site rather than quoting a number over the phone.

A straightforward replaster with new tile and coping usually runs three to five weeks. A full remodel that includes new decking, equipment and features typically runs eight to twelve weeks. Site access and permit timing are the two things that move that most.

Most new pool builds run about three to five months from permit to first swim. Hillside sites that need engineered retaining or difficult access sit at the longer end of that range.

If the shell and plumbing are sound and you only dislike the surface, replastering with new tile and coping is the efficient choice. If the equipment is aging, the deck is cracked or the shape no longer suits how you use the yard, a full remodel costs less than doing it in two separate phases.

Yes. Our own crews handle the build rather than passing it to a rotating set of subs, which is why the schedule and the finish standard stay consistent.
