Why People Choose Pool Remodeling in Los Angeles
Infrastructure Modernization
Aging pool equipment operates like outdated technology – inefficient, unreliable, and costly to maintain. Modern pool remodeling Los Angeles projects replace energy-consuming legacy systems with smart automation, variable-speed equipment, and advanced filtration that cuts operational costs while delivering superior performance.
Aesthetic Enhancement
Design preferences don't stand still, and neither should your pool. What looked cutting-edge in 2004 now screams "time capsule." A professionally executed Los Angeles pool remodel transforms tired surfaces and outdated features into contemporary showcases that complement your home's current aesthetic rather than fighting against it.
Functional Optimization
Pool usage patterns shift as lifestyles change and families mature. Pool remodeling adapts existing structures to serve current needs more effectively – whether incorporating therapeutic features for wellness, improving accessibility for aging in place, or enhancing entertainment capabilities for modern living.
Property Value Enhancement
Strategic pool remodeling isn't just spending money – it's strategically investing it. Updated pools don't just photograph beautifully for your Instagram; they photograph beautifully for real estate listings, attracting buyers willing to pay premium prices for move-in-ready luxury.
Regulatory Compliance
Building codes evolve faster than fashion trends, and non-compliance isn't optional. Pool remodeling ensures your backyard meets current safety standards while incorporating features that protect both your family and your liability exposure.

Why Pool Remodeling Pays Dividends

When finishes, lighting, and features work in perfect harmony with your architecture, the result isn't just a pool upgrade – it's a sophisticated outdoor room that makes your entire property feel intentionally designed rather than accidentally assembled.
Efficiency That Shows Up on Your Electric Bill
Modern pool remodeling projects are like giving your backyard a business degree in energy management. Smart systems and variable-speed equipment don't just work better – they work smarter, typically slashing energy consumption by 50-70% while delivering performance that makes your old equipment look like it was powered by a hamster wheel.

Pool remodeling projects bring your backyard up to current safety codes and building standards, transforming potential liability concerns into confident enjoyment. Modern safety features, proper systems, and compliant installations don't just protect your family – they protect your investment and your peace of mind for years to come.
Great from beginning to end-both Daniel Senior and Junior were absolutely amazing and the pool looks BEAUTIFUL!!!
“I know the company has many customers over a wide area, but I’m grateful for the feeling that someone is out there who cares about the state of my pool as much as I do. In a world where things often don’t work the way we hope it is a great benediction to have Southern California Pools to rely on.”
“SC Pools remodelled my pool and added a spa, then serviced the pool for the next 15 years until I recently moved. They were always courteous, diligent, and very professional.”
Full refurbishment and automation of lap pool and spa carried out to time and with a beautiful lasting finish.Daniel and his team continue to maintain the pool and equipment.Very happy I stuck with this company.
Daniel and team did an amazing job on resurfacing our pool and replacing our pool and spa lights. Their team is very efficient, with a new crew coming daily to do each part of the job. With a small rain delay, a large pool and spa was still completed within 2 weeks. We researched and got bids from many companies. SCP wasn't the most expensive or the least expensive, but they were by far the most highly recommended and our experience with the company proved we made the best decision. Many companies don't have reviews going back many years, which makes you wonder if they'll be around if the warranty is needed. SCP has been in business for decades and is family run. They have a winning formula when it comes to quality and efficiency. They were also the most professional when it came to the estimate and the operations process. And, when one of the workers inadvertently left power wash streaks on a section of newly stained patio tile, without hesitation Daniel made sure it was immediately restored. Our backyard looks incredible and our pool is the centerpiece of it all, thanks to SCP. We highly recommend them for any pool related work!
“Dependability and high skill level are very important to me. Both are demonstrated by SoCal Pools. Daniel Sr and Jr are a pleasure to work with and do what they say they are going to do. They started on time and completed the job on time. The workmen were very skilled and respectful of us and our home.”
Daniel and Daniel Jr. did a wonderful job with our pool. I highly recommend them. If you need a detail oriented and attentive team in your side, these are the people to call.
I had Southern California Pools install a handrail on the steps of my pool. Daniel Jr. was very knowledgeable and professional when giving me the estimate. He was willing to listen and make changes to insure we got the handrail that was right for my pool. He and his crew installed it quickly and on time. Daniel Sr. explained the process and answered all my questions. I highly recommend this family owned business.
The entire process has been very smooth. They are very accommodating and easy to work with. They explained all the steps and helped me through the decisions. I highly recommend Southern California Pools!
“Daniel and Daniel Jr. put in our new pool and hot tub more than a decade ago, and we love it! Really easy to work with, very creative, financially reasonable, and they continue to provide support! We're very grateful to them and recommend them highly and without reservation!!”
Daniel, and now his son, have been reliable , professional and helpful for more than 20 years. Besides our weekly service, they did a beautiful job refinishing our pool with pebble tech during Covid, and have kept our pool performing perfectly over the years. They always respond to phone calls and have been able to fix whatever problems( usually due to aging parts) we’ve had. We recommended them to others without hesitation. Great company!
My mom used Southern California Pools for many years. It was hard to keep the algae down on her ancient pool, but they kept it nice, and kept the old equipment running as long as possible before replacing it. When I moved into a place with a funny little pool that had been jerry rigged and neglected, I was happy to continue the relationship. Daniel and his team straightened out the plumbing, replaced the filter and pump and repaired the pool light. Now they maintain it weekly. Daniel is very responsive and a good communicator. I trust So Cal Pools and am a happy customer.
Southern California Pools provides excellent pool services from pool remodels, weekly pool maintenance and equipment repair. They repaired my deck when a piece cracked. I have had a pool to maintain for almost 50 years, and I have never been more pleased with a pool company’s service. I hired Southern California Pools originally in 2020 to repave my pool, replace my equipment and redo my deck. I was so pleased with the result that I hired them to provide the weekly maintenance. My pool has never been cloudy in all this time and in this heat. My pool person, Sergio, is competent and thorough. When my equipment recently needed repair (stuck valves) they were at my home the next day. I am sure you can find less expensive services, but I love that my pool water sparkles.
We have used Southern California Pools for many years and are extremely happy with their service. Our weekly pool man keeps our pool immaculate! We have had them resurface our old pool and put in new tile. We were very happy with the outcome. They are prompt at helping you if something is not working right. They treat you like it was their own pool. The best at a reasonable price!
"Southern California Pools did a great job resurfacing our pool. They have maintained our pool for many years. They do an excellent job, and they are always very responsive if we need their help with anything. We highly recommend them.”
Southern California Pools has been serving our pools for many years. Daniel, Daniel Jr and their team provide excellent customer service and maintenance. They have the highest of standards and always ensure our pools are maintained and properly cleaned. They are easy to contact and always respond fast and efficiently. If you’re looking for a new pool, a remodel or regular maintenance-Southern California Pools is your best choice.
We’ve been working with Southern California Pools for over five years since buying our home, and the experience has been outstanding from day one. They helped us convert our pool to saltwater, replaced all of our heating equipment, and have provided dependable weekly service. Most recently, within the past year, they completely renovated our pool—removing an old cracked fiberglass lining and resurfacing it beautifully with PebbleTec.
Daniel has been our main point of contact, and he is always extremely responsive, professional, and a pleasure to work with. Every project he has managed for us has been handled efficiently and to the highest standard of quality. During the remodel, he even addressed unexpected issues that came up, ensuring our pool is now stronger, more reliable, and looks better than ever.
We also want to recognize Jose, who takes care of our weekly service. He’s dependable, reliable, and keeps everything running smoothly week after week. And Nick has been a huge help as well, regularly assisting us with anything else that comes up—always effective and professional.
We consistently get compliments from friends and family who say we have the best pool water they’ve ever swum in, which speaks to the quality of their ongoing service. We now have total peace of mind knowing our pool is in excellent condition and maintained by true professionals.
I highly recommend Southern California Pools to anyone looking for a team that delivers great results, reliable service, good value, and genuine care for their customers.
I was referred to this company by my neighbor who was happy with her pool service/pool technician Esteban.
Esteban has been servicing my pool since I bought my home and I am very pleased with his great service and quality of work! He is nice and easy to talk to as well.
I've met Daniel and spoke with Daniel Sr, owners of the company, and they seem professional and great to work with for concerns and questions.
Just FYI, their pricing is different and is higher than other companies that I spoken to because it embeds the routine pool filter cleaning. They have invoices emailed to you which is convenient.
They are easy to work with ... provided a work schedule and stuck to it ... I can highly recommend Southern California Pools.
The crew was always on time and worked very hard. Daniel checked in throughout the process and was very informative of the process. We couldn’t be happier.
I have been a satisfied customer of Southern California Pools for more than 25 years. Not only is their monthly service excellent, but they are very responsive to my needs and questions. They expertly resurfaced my pool and updated the equipment and the gas line. They are a wonderful family run business.
I have always enjoyed working with Southern California Pools. They provide great service and do quality work. I would happily recommend using them for your pool needs.
