Pool & Spa Remodeling in Long Beach

City of Long Beach Community Development Department, Building and Safety Bureau. The Building and Safety Bureau within Long Beach Community Development issues residential permits from the Permit Center on West Ocean Boulevard. The City's Local Coastal Program was certified in 1980, so local Coastal Development Permits for property in the Coastal Zone — generally south of Seventh Street, including Belmont Shore, Naples, Bluff Park and Alamitos Beach — are issued by the City before a building permit, with some decisions appealable to the Coastal Commission. Since January 2022, projects inside the designated methane zone over the Wilmington, Long Beach, Seal Beach and Long Beach Airport oil fields must submit soil gas testing and a mitigation plan prepared by a qualified professional when a grading, demolition or new construction permit is requested. Exterior changes in any designated historic district require a Certificate of Appropriateness. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing the city.

Mostly urban grid lots, often 40 to 50 feet wide with an alley at the rear, with larger parcels in Park Estates and Bixby Knolls and narrow waterfront lots along the canals. In practice that means methane zone parcels require soil gas probes and, where readings warrant, a vapor mitigation system beneath new slabs and structures..

All of it, including Naples, Belmont Shore, Belmont Heights, Bixby Knolls. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Long Beach 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.
