Glendale Pool Builders renovates aging pools across Glendale and the Verdugo foothills. A renovation refreshes the surfaces, tile, and decking you live with, and on a sloped lot it is also the chance to correct the drainage and settling issues that the years have surfaced. We assess the pool and the grade honestly, plan the work, and put the scope and price in writing before we start.
- Full pool makeovers on sloped lots
- New deck surface and coping

- Written, line-item estimates
When a Glendale pool is worth renovating
An older pool with a structurally sound shell is almost always worth renovating rather than rebuilding, and on a hillside lot that is doubly true because the expensive structural and grading work is already in the ground. A renovation lets you refresh everything you see and use for a fraction of a new build, provided the shell and its hillside support are still sound. The first question, then, is the honest condition of the structure.
We assess the shell, the bond beam, the deck, and crucially on a foothill lot, the drainage and any signs of settling. A pool with cosmetic wear needs a very different scope than one where the deck has dropped on the downhill side or water is finding its way under the structure. We scope to what we actually find, not to a generic renovation package.
If the structure and its hillside support are sound, a renovation can make a dated Glendale pool look and run like new. If the grade or the shell are telling us something more serious, we say so plainly, because an honest read is worth more to you than an oversold refresh.
What a thorough renovation addresses
A full renovation can transform almost everything you see. New waterline tile and coping reset the entire look. A fresh plaster, quartz, or pebble interior brings back the color and feel of a new surface. New or reworked decking and hardscape, stepped to the grade, can reshape how the whole hillside backyard works around the pool.
On a sloped lot a renovation is also the right moment to address what the slope has done over the years. Settling on the downhill side, drainage that no longer carries water where it should, and tired retaining can all be corrected while the pool is already opened up for the surface work, so the renovation fixes causes rather than just covering symptoms.
Because we design and build the renovation as one project, the new finishes, the corrected grading, and any reworked features come together as a deliberate redesign rather than a patch over old problems.
An honest plan before the work
Every renovation starts with a real look at the pool and the lot and a written plan. We document the condition of the shell, the deck, and the drainage, talk through what you want to change, and give you an itemized estimate before any work begins. You see exactly what the renovation involves and what it costs up front.
We sequence the work to keep the disruption as short as the scope allows, and we keep you posted as it moves along. One crew owns the whole job, so there is no coordinating separate trades and no finger-pointing if the hillside reveals something that needs adjusting.
