Pool & Spa Remodeling in Burbank
New pools, spa additions, replastering, tile and coping, and full pool remodels. Designed, permitted and built by our own crews.
Pool & Spa Remodeling built for Burbank properties
Burbank is refreshingly straightforward to build in. The lots are mostly flat, the streets have real access, and the city runs its own permitting rather than routing through LADBS. The one thing worth flagging early is the Rancho equestrian district, where horse-keeping standards genuinely affect setbacks and how the yard can be laid out.
Flat, walkable neighbourhoods with practical family-sized yards, plus the distinctive Rancho equestrian pocket.
We are a design-build team, which means the people who draw your project are the people who build it. Design, engineering, permits and construction run through one project manager and our own crews, so nothing gets lost in a handoff between a salesperson and a subcontractor. We are licensed and insured, LIC #1119054.
Permits in Burbank: Burbank is its own jurisdiction, so pool, ADU and hardscape permits go through the City of Burbank Building Division rather than LADBS. Plan check and inspection scheduling run on the city's own calendar.

How We Build
Your Burbank project, step by step
Site Review
We walk the property, check access, soil and slope, and confirm what the yard can actually take.
Design & 3D
You see the pool in 3D before anything is dug, with finishes, tile and decking chosen.
Plans & Permits
We draw the plans, handle engineering where the site needs it, and pull the permits. In Burbank that submittal goes to City of Burbank Community Development Department, Building Division.
Excavation & Shell
Dig, steel, plumbing and gunite. This is where site access and grading matter most.
Finishes
Tile, coping, decking and your chosen interior finish go in.
Startup & Handover
We fill, balance the water, commission the equipment and walk you through every control.
Burbank Questions
Common questions from Burbank homeowners
Who issues the permits for this work in Burbank?
City of Burbank Community Development Department, Building Division. Burbank is its own jurisdiction, so pool, ADU and hardscape permits go through the City of Burbank Building Division rather than LADBS. Plan check and inspection scheduling run on the city's own calendar. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing the city.
What makes building in Burbank different?
Flat, walkable neighbourhoods with practical family-sized yards, plus the distinctive Rancho equestrian pocket. In practice that means the Rancho equestrian district has horse-keeping standards that affect setbacks and yard layout.
Which parts of Burbank do you work in?
All of it, including Magnolia Park, Rancho Equestrian District, Burbank Hills, Chandler Park. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Burbank is a short run for our crews rather than a job we service from out of the area.
What does pool & spa remodeling cost in Burbank?
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.
How long does a pool remodel take?
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.
How long does a new pool take to build?
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.
Should I replaster or fully remodel?
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.
Do you self-perform the work?
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.
