Pool tiling · Beverly Hills

An abandoned Beverly Hills pool, rebuilt and fully tiled

A concrete pool and spa left standing empty for years. Cracks chased out and repaired, the shell waterproofed, then a dark gray mosaic interior with bluestone coping.

A renovation should survive being photographed close up.

Above and beyond

From a standing ruin to a finish that lasts

This pool had been empty and deteriorating for years. Cracks had spread through the shell, tile was detaching along the waterline, and sections of coping had lifted where roots had got underneath.

The old finish came off so the structure could be judged properly. Cracks were opened up, treated and sealed, unstable areas cut back to sound material, and the whole shell waterproofed before any new surface went near it.

The pool and spa were finished in a dark gray mosaic with bluestone coping. The close views of the deep end, the steps and the spa are there deliberately: with no water over it, the set-out is either right or obvious.

The owners were not living at the property, so we managed the four-day fill ourselves — including coming back late on the Sunday to shut the water off and check the pool.

The tile lines, the corners and the deep end are all here, not just the one flattering angle.

Empty for years, repaired and fully tiled

Structural repair, waterproofing, new coping and a permanent interior put into one job rather than four visits over six years.

Bought a house in Beverly Hills with an older pool and honestly had no idea how to maintain it. The equipment was old and everything was confusing. They walked me through what needed to be done first and what could wait. No pressure. That was appreciated.Read in full

After two unreliable pool companies I finally found Pool Care LA. Weekly schedule, chemistry always dialed in, salt cell gets checked, and they communicate clearly if anything needs attention. For what I've invested in this pool, I needed someone I could actually trust. They've been that.Read in full

I had been with another pool service for almost three years and the quality kept declining. They would come spend five minutes barely check the water and leave. My pool started having issues, cloudy water, algae on the walls, equipment problems that nobody was catching. The first visit from Pool Care LA showed me the difference. They tested the water thoroughly found the chemistry was completely off adjusted everything brushed the walls and gave me a rundown of what my previous company had been missing for months. The water has been consistently clean since they took over, I only wish I made the switch sooner.Read in full

When you have a pool that cost more to build than most people's homes, you're not looking for the cheapest service option. 💎 You need someone who understands what they're working with. My pool has a Jandy automation system that controls everything from my phone, lights, water features, heater, pump speed, salt cell output. It's a beautiful setup when it's running correctly. The company I had before Pool Care LA simply didn't understand it. They'd show up, net the surface, leave and bill me. Persistent water clarity issues nobody could explain. Mineral deposits building up on the water features that nobody seemed to notice. 🤦 I found Pool Care LA through a neighbor. The technician actually knew what he was looking at when he saw the Jandy system. He connected to the automation panel, reviewed the settings and immediately found that several parameters had been left at factory defaults that were not appropriate for my pool's size and equipment configuration. That alone explained the chemistry fluctuations I had been dealing with for months. He ran a full water analysis, serviced the salt cell, and identified the deposits on the water features as calcium scale buildup that needed a specific treatment. Documented every finding and sent me a written summary by email. 📋 The ongoing service has been exceptional. The pool looks perfect, consistently. 🏊 They flag anything unusual before it becomes a problem. When a water feature pump made a strange sound, they identified it, ordered the part and replaced it before I even registered it as a real issue. For anyone with a complex pool who has been let down by companies that aren't qualified to manage it, Pool Care LA is a completely different level.Read in full

The glass tile on our pool was custom installed in 2016 during a full backyard renovation. We're just off Carmelita, up in the flats, and the tile was one of the things we were most proud of when the project finished. So when the calcium started building up along the waterline I knew I needed someone who actually understood that type of tile, not just a general pool service. Pool Care LA came out and assessed before starting anything. The technician explained the difference between calcium carbonate deposits, which are softer and easier to treat, and calcium silicate, which hardens over time and requires a different approach. Mine had been building for years and was the harder type. They worked carefully along the full waterline using the right method for glass tile. The grout was checked throughout and came out in good shape. The result was genuinely better than I expected. They also told me my calcium hardness had been running high for a while and that getting that number into a proper range would slow the buildup significantly going forward. My regular pool service had never once connected water chemistry to what was happening on the tile. That conversation alone was worth the call.Read in full

Came home from a two-week vacation and our pool was basically green. The previous company told us we needed to drain it, which sounded crazy. Pool Care LA came out, tested everything, explained what was happening and started the cleanup. Took a little time but now the water looks better than it has in years.Read in full

We had another pool company for almost five years and slowly the service got worse. They would say they came but the pool was always dirty. Jake from Pool Care LA has been completely different. He actually checks the equipment and lets us know if something needs attention.Read in full

Our pump stopped working on a Friday afternoon and we were worried because we had family coming over that weekend. Robert came out, found the problem and got everything running again. Honest guy, and he explained everything before doing the repair.Read in full

What this Beverly Hills renovation demonstrates

Is a pool that has stood empty for years worth saving?

Usually yes, but only once the old finish is off and the structure can be judged. On this shell the cracks were opened up, treated and sealed and the whole thing waterproofed — after that a permanent interior made sense.

Why put repair, waterproofing, coping and tile into one job?

Because the alternative is four visits over six years, each one cutting next to something already finished. On a shell this old doing it once is usually the cheaper route, not the expensive one.

Does a fully tiled pool have to be filled in one go?

Yes. Stopping partway leaves a line on new grout that does not come out. This fill took four days and was watched to the end, including a late Sunday visit to shut the water off.
