Pool & Spa Remodeling in Valley Village

Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a Combined Building-Mechanical permit, while pools serving more than two dwelling units need separate building, electrical, plumbing and mechanical permits. Using a City of Los Angeles standard plan on file with LADBS reduces plan check time. Valley Village is covered by the Valley Village Specific Plan (Ordinance No. 168,613, effective April 4, 1993), which limits one-family buildings to 30 feet in height. Under the City's applicability matrix for the plan, LADBS checks a new or altered pool or spa for a single dwelling against the plan without a separate City Planning clearance, while new houses, additions, exterior alterations, demolitions and site grading all require one. We prepare the drawings, make the submittal and handle plan-check corrections ourselves, so you are not the one chasing plan check.

Level single-family lots on residential streets such as Hesby Street, La Maida Street and Bellaire Avenue, with apartments and condominiums concentrated along Burbank Boulevard, Riverside Drive and Magnolia Boulevard. In LA County Assessor parcel data the median single-family lot is roughly 7,600 square feet, and about four in five of those houses were built between the 1930s and the 1950s. One local condition that shapes the work: Valley Village sits entirely outside the City's Hillside Grading Area, so hillside grading rules do not apply and slope or retaining work seldom drives the budget.

All of it, including Huston Street, Otsego Street, Hartsook Street and Addison Street. Our crews run every job out of our Cahuenga Pass base in Los Angeles, with our own people on site.

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.

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.
