Transform Your Backyard Oasis:
The Step-by-Step Process of Pool Remodeling


Pool Remodeling in La Quinta and surrounding areas

Remodeling a pool is an exciting project that can breathe new life into your outdoor space, enhancing both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. Whether your existing pool is outdated, showing signs of wear and tear, or simply no longer meets your needs, a pool remodel can transform it into the backyard oasis you've always dreamed of. At our company, we specialize in comprehensive pool remodeling services that are tailored to meet the unique needs of each client. In this article, we’ll walk you through the step-by-step process of remodeling a pool, from planning and design to permits and construction. We’ll also encourage you to take advantage of our free consultations to get started on your pool remodeling journey.


Step 1: Initial Consultation and Planning

The first step in any pool remodeling project is the initial consultation and planning. During this stage, we sit down with you to discuss your vision for the remodel. This is your opportunity to share your ideas, preferences, and goals for the project. Whether you want to modernize your pool with new features, update the design to match your home’s architecture, or address functional issues like leaks or outdated equipment, we’ll listen carefully to your needs.

We’ll also evaluate the current condition of your pool, identifying areas that may require repairs or upgrades. This assessment helps us create a comprehensive remodeling plan that addresses both your aesthetic goals and the structural integrity of your pool.

Step 2: Design and Visualization

Once the initial planning is complete, the next step is the design phase. Our design team works closely with you to create a custom design that reflects your vision and complements your backyard. We use advanced 3D modeling software to bring your ideas to life, allowing you to visualize the proposed changes and make adjustments as needed.

During this phase, we’ll explore various design elements, such as new pool shapes, water features, lighting options, decking materials, and landscaping enhancements. We’ll also discuss the types of finishes and tiles that will be used to give your pool a fresh and modern look. Our goal is to create a design that not only meets your functional needs but also enhances the overall aesthetic of your outdoor space.


Step 3: Obtaining Permits

Before we can begin the remodeling process, it’s essential to obtain the necessary permits from local authorities. This step ensures that all remodeling work complies with local building codes, zoning regulations, and safety standards. Our team will handle the entire permitting process for you, including preparing and submitting all required documentation.

Obtaining permits can sometimes take a few weeks, depending on the complexity of the project and the specific regulations in your area. We’ll keep you informed throughout this process and address any questions or concerns you may have.


Step 4: Demolition and Site Preparation

With permits in hand, the remodeling process can begin. The first step in this phase is demolition and site preparation. This involves removing any outdated or damaged features, such as old tiles, worn-out decking, or broken equipment. If the remodel involves significant structural changes, such as altering the shape of the pool or adding new features, we’ll also excavate and prepare the site accordingly.

During demolition, we take great care to protect the surrounding landscape and minimize disruption to your property. Our team is experienced in handling all aspects of demolition and site preparation, ensuring that the work is done efficiently and safely.

Step 5: Structural Modifications and Repairs

If your pool remodel includes structural modifications, such as reshaping the pool, adding a spa, or installing new water features, this is the stage where those changes take place. Our skilled technicians will carefully execute these modifications, ensuring that the pool’s structure remains sound and durable.

In addition to structural changes, we’ll also address any necessary repairs. This may include fixing leaks, reinforcing weakened areas, or replacing damaged plumbing and electrical systems. Our goal is to ensure that your pool not only looks great but also functions reliably for years to come.


Step 6: Installation of New Features and Equipment

One of the most exciting aspects of a pool remodel is the installation of new features and equipment. Whether you’re upgrading to energy-efficient pumps and heaters, adding a saltwater system, or installing state-of-the-art automation controls, this phase is all about enhancing the functionality and enjoyment of your pool.

We’ll also install any new water features, such as waterfalls, fountains, or jets, as well as custom lighting to create the perfect ambiance for evening swims. These additions can transform your pool into a luxurious retreat, providing endless enjoyment for you and your family.


Step 7: Interior Finishing and Tile Work

Once the structural modifications and new features are in place, the next step is to apply the interior finish and tile work. The interior finish is one of the most important aspects of your pool’s appearance, and we offer a variety of options to suit your style, including plaster, pebble, quartz, and glass bead finishes.

In addition to the interior finish, we’ll install new tiles, which can be customized to create beautiful borders, mosaics, or other decorative elements. The combination of the interior finish and tile work gives your pool a fresh, modern look and enhances the overall aesthetic of your backyard.


Step 8: Decking and Landscaping

A pool remodel is not complete without updating the surrounding decking and landscaping. The pool deck is where you’ll spend time lounging, entertaining, and enjoying the outdoors, so it’s important that it’s both functional and attractive. We offer a wide range of decking materials, including concrete, pavers, natural stone, and wood, to complement your pool design and enhance the usability of the space.

Landscaping is another key component of the pool area, and our team can help you design and install beautiful landscaping features that integrate seamlessly with your pool. Whether you prefer lush greenery, tropical plants, or minimalist design, we’ll create a landscape that enhances the beauty and tranquility of your backyard oasis.

Step 9: Final Inspection and Pool Startup

Before you can start enjoying your newly remodeled pool, a final inspection is required to ensure that all work meets safety standards and building codes. We coordinate with local inspectors to schedule and complete this inspection, addressing any final details or adjustments that may be needed.

Once the inspection is passed, we begin the pool startup process, which involves filling the pool with water, balancing the chemicals, and testing all equipment to ensure everything is functioning correctly. We’ll also provide you with a detailed orientation on how to operate and maintain your remodeled pool, so you feel confident in keeping it in top condition.


Step 10: Enjoy Your Transformed Pool!

With the remodeling complete and your pool ready to go, it’s time to enjoy your transformed backyard oasis! Whether you’re hosting a pool party, relaxing with family, or simply taking a refreshing dip, your newly remodeled pool is sure to become the centerpiece of your outdoor living space.

Wow, wow, wow!!!! All I can say. We filed a claim with AHS and they sent someone out (not Marcos). It was a JOKE. Guy didn’t even look at anything. Have it on video. I called AHS back and told them I wanted someone else out here. They sent Marcos!!!! His guy Juan came out and was amazing. He spent quite a bit of time to isolate the problem. THEN, he brought Marcos back out just to confirm. First, it was complete obvious that the salt system board was fried. There was a char mark. Then they isolated the problem with the heater. It was a minor fix, (not covered but totally ok to spend to fix). On the Salt System, they are replacing the board, going to be back out to replace and insure the system works. On the heater, the didn’t leave until they made sure (with my wife present) that it was working!!!! Marcos is our guy going forward! Do yourself a favor….if you have an AHS Claim, DEMAND MARCOS and CV Pools!!!!!!!!

We are very happy with our recent visit by Marcos from C.V. Pool Services! We had questions with our combination pool/spa automation system, and wanted to have the system looked at. Marcos answered all of our questions, and then provided us options on how our automation system was setup vs. how we were trying to operate it. He then was able to connect our pump to our automation system and confirm that everything was working for a very fair price and within the same morning. Marcos was very friendly and professional, and we will definitely be contacting C.V. Pool Services for future needs!

After being railroaded by my home warranty company and other pool companies to get absolutely now where. Marco came out diagnosed the issue and fixed it that week. I had been quoted $3,000 by another company to fix my control panel, another Company said nothing was wrong with it and then Marco diagnosed on the spot, had me on text, gave me a quote of $791 on the spot. I couldn't be happier. Not only did he fix that issue he also fixed the issue with my control valves that were installed backwards by the pool company that installed my new heater in Feb 2019. My gas bill was over $600 and the company that installed it once again said nothing was wrong. Well it was, Marco fixed the problem on the spot.

You want professional and sincere repair or service? Call C.V. Pools. The service, and consideration to keep costs down simply can not be beat. I was a first time pool owner, and I had 2 previous pool service companies leave my pool in a state of unbalanced chemicals, and a replacement part being installed wrong. I called Marcos, the owner/operator and he took my call after hours on the weekend while camping with his family, and troubleshooted the problem over the phone with me. Marcos came out first thing when he returned, pumped my pool out, installed part correctly, and had it cleared up in a matter of days looking crystal clear. I had been dealing with it for over 3 weeks before C.V. Pools came out. Marcos kept me well informed, kept cost at literally half of what I had previously paid somebody, and was very knowledgeable, honest and friendly. I could not be happier with the repair work or the cost involved. I highly recommend this company for work. I continue to use thier monthly services. I live in a high wind area, with an abundance of sand being dumped into my pool. Javiar keeps my pool in top shape always.
