Pool & Spa Remodeling in Woodland Hills
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 Woodland Hills properties
Woodland Hills gets hot, and that single fact should shape the whole design. A beautiful backyard nobody uses between June and September is a wasted investment, so shade, water and evening lighting matter more here than almost anywhere else in the Valley. Walnut Acres lots have the depth to do it properly; the southern hillside parcels need engineering first.
Big suburban lots with genuine backyard depth, plus hillside view properties climbing toward the Santa Monica Mountains.
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 Woodland Hills: Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a combined Building-Mechanical permit. Plumbing plan check applies to apartment and commercial pools, not single-family homes, and using an LADBS pre-approved standard plan shortens plan check. Parcels in the southern hills sit in the Hillside Grading Area, and much of that area is mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone.

How We Build
Your Woodland Hills 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 Woodland Hills that submittal goes to Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS).
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.
Woodland Hills Questions
Common questions from Woodland Hills homeowners
Who issues the permits for this work in Woodland Hills?
Los Angeles Department of Building and Safety (LADBS). Private pools in the City of Los Angeles are permitted through a combined Building-Mechanical permit. Plumbing plan check applies to apartment and commercial pools, not single-family homes, and using an LADBS pre-approved standard plan shortens plan check. Parcels in the southern hills sit in the Hillside Grading Area, and much of that area is mapped as a Very High Fire Hazard Severity Zone. 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 Woodland Hills different?
Big suburban lots with genuine backyard depth, plus hillside view properties climbing toward the Santa Monica Mountains. In practice that means walnut Acres offers flat, deep lots that take full backyard transformations well.
Which parts of Woodland Hills do you work in?
All of it, including Walnut Acres, Warner Center, Vista de Oro, Carlton Terrace. We are based in Los Angeles at Cahuenga Pass, so Woodland Hills 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 Woodland Hills?
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.
