A city of renovation-age pools
Folsom built its pools in waves. They age in waves too.
American River Canyon and Briggs Ranch pools went in through the late '80s and '90s; Empire Ranch followed in the 2000s. That means thousands of Folsom pools are now 20–35 years old — original plaster long gone or going, brick coping from another design era, and single-speed pumps that cost real money every month they survive.
Our Folsom renovations run in tiers: finish and tile first, coping and joints second, decking and equipment third. One itemized quote covers all three, and you draw the budget line — many families do Tier 1 now and the rest next season, on one master plan.
The result on a sound shell — and Folsom shells are almost always sound — is a pool indistinguishable from new at a fraction of new-build cost.
What a Folsom renovation can include.
Tier 1 — Finish & tile
Chip-out replaster and waterline tile — the reset every renovation starts with.
Tier 2 — Coping & joints
Precast or travertine replacing dated brick, expansion joints renewed.
Tier 3 — Deck & equipment
Pavers or new concrete, variable-speed pump, LED lighting, automation.
Spa additions
The upgrade '90s builders skipped — tied into your pool, finished to match.
Water features
Sheer descents added to existing Folsom shells where structure allows.
One master plan
Phase over seasons without rework — the design holds even when the budget phases.
Folsom renovation questions
Our American River Canyon pool is original to 1992. Where do we start?
With a free walk-through. Almost certainly Tier 1 plus a coping conversation — '90s brick coping is usually the tell. You'll get all three tiers priced in one itemized quote.
Is a salt water system worth it in Folsom?
Yes. Swimmers find salt water easier on the eyes and skin and the chemicals stay more stable, and a full Folsom remodel is the natural time to add a salt system.
Renovate or rebuild?
If the shell is sound — and we'll verify — renovation wins on cost nearly every time. We'll show you the evidence either way.
When's the best season for it?
Winter — scheduling is easier, cure conditions are good, and the pool is ready when Folsom's heat arrives in May.

"I wanted to expand my driveway and when I contacted them he was over within a few hours to give me a quote and a few days later they removed the grass and created this! Highly recommended!"
