Pool & Spa Remodeling in Manhattan Beach

City of Manhattan Beach Community Development Department, Building and Safety Division. Building permits are issued by the Building and Safety Division of the City's Community Development Department, with applications accepted through the Citizen Self Service portal. Manhattan Beach has a certified Local Coastal Program, so the City itself issues Coastal Development Permits under the Coastal Development Permit Procedures chapter of that program, and certain decisions remain appealable to the California Coastal Commission. Coastal Zone projects that add floor area, alter exterior elevations, or add decks and roof decks generally require that permit in addition to the building permit. Plan review here covers architectural, structural, geotechnical, grading and drainage, energy and fire life safety, so timing varies with scope. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing the city.

Tight and rectangular near the beach — commonly around 30 by 90 feet with three-foot side setbacks — with larger, steeply sloped view parcels up the hill and wider conventional lots inland. In practice that means loose beach sand and dune deposits across much of the west side require engineered shoring, and often caissons, before excavation for a basement, pool or equipment vault..

All of it, including Sand Section, Tree Section, Hill Section, El Porto. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Manhattan 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.
