Pool & Spa Remodeling in Glendale

We build new pools and spas, and remodel the ones already in the ground.

Built for Glendale Homes

Glendale covers a wider range of conditions than people expect. The flats build much like Burbank, quickly and predictably, while Rossmoyne adds historic district design review for anything visible from the street. Move up into Chevy Chase Canyon or Oakmont and you are into foothill construction, where geotechnical review, slope drainage and fire-zone considerations shape both the design and the timeline.

A wide range, from flat traditional lots to steep foothill properties with long views over the basin.

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, bonded and insured, CSLB license #1119054.

Permits in Glendale: Glendale permits independently of LADBS. Hillside properties in the Verdugo foothills carry additional grading and geotechnical review, and parts of the foothills are mapped as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

Permit details checked September 2026 against Glendale Municipal Code and City of Glendale. Rules change, so we confirm them again for your parcel.

The Process

How We Work in Glendale

01

Site Review

We walk the property, check access, soil and slope, and confirm what the yard can actually take.

02

Design & 3D

You see the pool in 3D before anything is dug, with finishes, tile and decking chosen.

03

Plans & Permits

We draw the plans, handle engineering where the site needs it, and pull the permits. In Glendale that submittal goes to City of Glendale Community Development Department, Development Services Division.

04

Excavation & Shell

Dig, steel, plumbing and gunite. This is where site access and grading matter most.

05

Finishes

Tile, coping, decking and your chosen interior finish go in.

06

Startup & Handover

We fill, balance the water, commission the equipment and walk you through every control.

Questions

What Glendale Homeowners Ask

Who issues the permits for this work in Glendale?

City of Glendale Community Development Department, Development Services Division. Glendale permits independently of LADBS. Hillside properties in the Verdugo foothills carry additional grading and geotechnical review, and parts of the foothills are mapped as Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zones.

We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check.

What makes building in Glendale different?

A wide range, from flat traditional lots to steep foothill properties with long views over the basin. One local condition that shapes the work: Foothill parcels in Chevy Chase Canyon and Oakmont need slope and drainage engineering.

Which parts of Glendale do you work in?

All of it, including Rossmoyne, Verdugo Woodlands, Chevy Chase Canyon and Oakmont. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site.

What does a pool or spa project cost in Glendale?

New pool construction: generally $70,000 to $150,000+ across Southern California. 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.
