Santa Monica Pool Contractors remodels existing pools across the Westside, going past a refresh to reshape, resize, and rework what you have. On a small lot a remodel can reclaim space, add a spa, change the shape, or rebuild the deck so the backyard finally works. We design the remodel to the lot and your goals and build it with one accountable crew.
- Reshaped and resized for the lot

- Efficient, modern equipment
- A single accountable team throughout
How a remodel differs from a refresh
A renovation freshens a pool; a remodel reimagines it. Where a renovation swaps finishes and tile, a remodel can change the actual shape and footprint, add structural features, and rework how the whole backyard functions. On a Santa Monica lot it is the right call when the existing pool no longer fits the space or the way your household wants to use the yard.
Common remodels on tight lots include reshaping the pool to free up deck area, adding an attached spa or a bench, converting an oversized old pool into something more proportionate with a usable surround, and rebuilding the deck and hardscape into real outdoor living space. These are structural changes, so they demand the same design and engineering rigor as a new build.
Because a remodel touches the shell and the structure, it is worth doing once and doing right. We design the remodel around your goals and the lot, engineer the changes properly, and build them to last in the coastal climate.
Designing a remodel that fits the space
A good remodel starts with what is not working about the current pool. Maybe the shape eats the whole yard, the deck is too cramped to gather on, or the pool lacks the spa or shallow area you actually want. We listen to all of it, then design a remodel that solves the real problems instead of piling on features for their own sake.
On a compact lot, that often means giving space back. Reshaping a pool to open up deck, swapping a sprawling old design for a tighter pool-and-spa combination, or reworking the surround can make a small backyard feel twice as usable. We design against the real access and footprint so the plan is one we know we can build.
You see the remodel in renderings and approve the design and the written price before we break into the existing pool. There are no surprises about scope or cost once the work is underway.
One crew through a constrained remodel
A remodel can involve excavation, structural work, new plumbing and equipment, fresh finishes, and a rebuilt deck, which is exactly why a single design-build crew matters on a tight site. We own every phase, so the new work integrates cleanly with what stays, and the project stays accountable from the first day to the last.
We sequence the remodel to keep the backyard usable as long as possible and to move efficiently through a constrained lot once the work begins. Throughout, we keep you posted on progress and what comes next so the job never feels like a black box.
