Pool & Spa Remodeling in Calabasas
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 Calabasas properties
Calabasas has two approval processes running at once, and underestimating the second is the most common way a project slips. The city handles permits, but inside communities like The Oaks the HOA architectural review is a real gate with its own standards and its own calendar. We start that conversation early. Protected oaks add a third constraint that quietly dictates where equipment can go.
Estate lots inside guard-gated communities where design review standards are high and the finish level expected is correspondingly high.
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 Calabasas: Calabasas permits through its own Building & Safety division and enforces an oak tree protection ordinance. Much of the city is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and most gated communities add an HOA architectural review that runs in parallel with the city process.

How We Build
Your Calabasas 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 Calabasas that submittal goes to City of Calabasas Community Development Department, Building & Safety.
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.
Calabasas Questions
Common questions from Calabasas homeowners
Who issues the permits for this work in Calabasas?
City of Calabasas Community Development Department, Building & Safety. Calabasas permits through its own Building & Safety division and enforces an oak tree protection ordinance. Much of the city is in a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone, and most gated communities add an HOA architectural review that runs in parallel with the city process. 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 Calabasas different?
Estate lots inside guard-gated communities where design review standards are high and the finish level expected is correspondingly high. In practice that means hOA architectural approval in communities like The Oaks is a real, separate gate that should be started early.
Which parts of Calabasas do you work in?
All of it, including The Oaks, Hidden Hills border, Calabasas Park, Mountain View Estates. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Calabasas 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 Calabasas?
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.
