Pool Remodeling & Renovation
Upgrade your pool’s look, comfort, and performance with modern finishes and improvements.
When should a pool be remodeled instead of repaired?
A pool should be remodeled when surface deterioration, outdated equipment, recurring leaks, or structural wear affect performance or safety. Remodeling is also recommended when homeowners want to modernize the appearance or add new features.
What are the most common pool remodeling upgrades?
Popular upgrades include resurfacing, tile and coping replacement, decking improvements, LED lighting, automation systems, and energy-efficient pumps and heaters.
Can you remodel a pool without completely draining it?
Some upgrades can be performed with minimal water removal, but major resurfacing or structural work typically requires draining the pool. Our team evaluates the safest and most efficient approach for each project.
How long does pool remodeling take in Los Angeles?
Most pool remodeling projects in Los Angeles take 1–4 weeks depending on the scope of work. Pool resurfacing typically takes 1–2 weeks, while complete renovations involving tile replacement, plumbing upgrades, decking, and new equipment installations may take longer. At Showtime Pools, we provide a clear project timeline before construction begins.
What are the most popular pool renovation upgrades in Southern California?
In Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Malibu, and Santa Monica, homeowners frequently request:
• Pebble and quartz resurfacing finishes
• Glass tile and modern waterline tile upgrades
• Baja shelves and tanning ledges
• LED color-changing pool lighting
• Smart pool automation systems
• Energy-efficient variable-speed pumps
These upgrades improve both aesthetics and long-term performance.
Can you convert my pool to a saltwater system during remodeling?
Yes. Many Los Angeles homeowners choose to upgrade to a saltwater pool system during renovations. Salt systems provide softer water, reduced chemical handling, and lower long-term maintenance costs.
Do you offer energy-efficient pool equipment upgrades?
Absolutely. We install high-efficiency pumps, filters, heaters, and automation systems designed to meet California energy standards. Upgrading to energy-efficient pool equipment can significantly reduce monthly electricity costs.
Will remodeling my pool increase my home’s value in Los Angeles?
A professionally remodeled pool and outdoor living space can increase property value and enhance curb appeal, especially in Southern California where outdoor entertainment is a lifestyle priority. Modern pool finishes and updated equipment are highly attractive to buyers.

Energy Efficiency & Equipment
Save energy and improve performance with smart upgrades and efficient equipment installs.
Are variable-speed pumps worth the investment?
Yes. Variable-speed pumps are significantly more energy-efficient than single-speed pumps and can reduce electricity costs while improving circulation and filtration performance.
Can I control my pool remotely?
Yes. Pool automation systems allow remote control of pumps, heaters, lighting, and water features using a smartphone or tablet. Automation improves convenience and energy management.
Do energy-efficient upgrades qualify for rebates?
Some energy-efficient equipment may qualify for utility rebates or incentives depending on availability and program guidelines. We can help identify eligible options during consultation.
Are variable-speed pool pumps required in California?
Yes. California energy regulations require most new or replacement pool pumps to be variable-speed models. These pumps use significantly less electricity than single-speed pumps and can reduce monthly energy costs for Los Angeles homeowners.
How much can I save by upgrading to energy-efficient pool equipment?
Upgrading to a variable-speed pump, high-efficiency heater, and LED pool lighting can reduce energy usage by up to 70% compared to older systems. Many Los Angeles pool owners see noticeable savings on their utility bills after upgrading.
When should I replace my pool heater?
If your heater is over 8–10 years old, frequently malfunctioning, or inefficient, replacement may be more cost-effective than continued repairs. We install energy-efficient gas and electric pool heaters designed for Southern California climate conditions.
