Palo Alto remodels
Palo Alto houses are finished to a high level. The pool should match.
Palo Alto homes — Craftsman, Eichler and new custom — expose anything second-rate beside them, and an older pool often stands out.
A full remodel brings the finish, tile, coping, decking and equipment up to the house, with coping and decking chosen to extend its architecture.
Mature oaks, redwoods and seasonal clay soils shape every Palo Alto pool remodel. Our team handles City of Palo Alto planning and permits. Call 916-664-7772 for a free Palo Alto remodel design and estimate.

Palo Alto pool remodel questions
Should we choose salt water for our Palo Alto pool?
It's a good upgrade for a Palo Alto pool: salt water is gentler on eyes and skin, holds its chemistry more evenly, and a salt system can be added as part of a full remodel.
How long does a Palo Alto remodel take?
Construction usually runs two to three weeks for finish-focused work and four to eight weeks with new decking, depending on scope and weather; city review time is added beforehand.
