Pool Remodeling in Mesa, AZ

Renovations, new finishes, tile, coping, decks and spa additions for Mesa backyard pools that have seen too many summers.

Pool Remodeling Mesa Homeowners Can Plan Around

Pool Remodeling Mesa renovates backyard pools across the city. Many of the pools we see were built in the 1970s through the 1990s: rough white plaster, a single band of scaled blue tile, narrow concrete coping and a deep end built for a diving board nobody uses.

Newer pools in east and southeast Mesa have different problems. The shell is sound, but the finish is wearing, the deck has cracked and the equipment runs more than it needs to. Each remodel starts with how you actually use the pool now.

The City of Mesa lists constructing or filling in an inground swimming pool as work that needs a construction permit. Its pool submittals call for a dimensioned site plan, engineer-sealed drawings, and electrical, plumbing and mechanical plans. When a remodel changes the shell, plumbing or wiring, we confirm the scope with the City and file before work starts.

You get a written estimate with the finish, tile, coping, deck, equipment and any new features on separate lines, plus a schedule.

Mesa Pool Remodeling Questions

Do I need a permit to remodel a pool in Mesa?

It depends on the scope. The City of Mesa requires a construction permit to build or fill in an inground pool, and pool permits include structural, electrical and plumbing plans. A new finish or new tile alone is usually a different conversation from reshaping the shell, so we confirm your exact scope with the City before we start.

How long does a Mesa pool remodel take?

A resurfacing with new tile usually takes a couple of weeks from drain to refill. A full renovation with structural changes, a spa or a new deck takes longer. Your estimate includes a schedule for each phase.

Should I resurface or do a full remodel?

If the shape, steps and depth still suit you, a new finish, tile and coping may be all you need. If you want a sun shelf, a spa, a shallower deep end or a new deck, it's more efficient to do it all while the pool is drained.

What does the City of Mesa require for pool fences?

The City's pool barrier brochure says every pool must be enclosed by a barrier at least 5 feet tall, with outward-opening gates that close and latch on their own. We check your barrier as part of the remodel plan.

Which parts of Mesa do you work in?

Pools across Mesa, including Lehi, Mountain Bridge, Desert Uplands, Augusta Ranch, Superstition Springs and Sunland Springs Village.
