Royal blue resurfacing and full restoration

An abandoned concrete pool repaired, reworked and resurfaced in a deep blue smooth pebble, with a new waterline band and travertine coping.

The condition it arrived in was hard to ignore. The finished result is harder to miss.

Complete swimming pool restoration

From enclosed spa to open lounging area

The wall between pool and spa came out so the enclosed area could become an open recess connected to the pool. That changed both how it looks and how it gets used — a walled spa nobody heats is dead space.

The existing interior was repaired before resurfacing. The old coping and waterline came off and were replaced with travertine and a stronger blue tile, and the pool itself was finished in smooth pebble.

This is a clear example of what resurfacing achieves when the interior, the coping, the waterline, the steps and the seating are treated as one job instead of five separate ones with five separate set-ups.

Pool resurfacing proof

One pool, completely different result

The side-by-side shows the scale of it without separating the pool from the work around it.

If you are comparing resurfacing options across the San Fernando Valley — Valley Village, Studio City, North Hollywood, Toluca Lake — this shows how a pebble interior fits into a wider restoration rather than being the whole of it.

Pool Care LA resurfaces concrete pools, repairs the interior where it needs it, and coordinates the finish with the waterline, coping, steps, ledges and seating so the pool reads as one thing when it is done.

Pool resurfacing · Valley Village

An abandoned pool rebuilt around a new interior

The pool arrived green and silted. The shell was repaired, the coping and waterline replaced, and the wall between pool and spa taken out before the pebble went on.

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

I don't usually leave reviews but these guys deserve it. My pool was a mess and I was tired of trying to fix the chemicals myself. They came out and took care of everything. Water is clear now and I don't have to worry anymore.Read in full

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

We thought we needed a completely new pool system. Turns out it was just a few issues with the pump and filter. They saved us a lot of money by fixing what actually needed fixing.

We have two kids and keeping the pool safe is important for us. Since switching to Pool Care LA the water has been consistently clean and balanced. It is nice knowing someone is actually paying attention every week.Read in full

What this Valley Village restoration shows

Can an abandoned green pool be resurfaced rather than replaced?

This one was. The existing interior was repaired first, the coping and waterline came off, and the pool was finished in smooth pebble. The condition it arrives in decides how much preparation there is, not whether resurfacing is possible.

Why remove the wall between the pool and the spa?

Because a walled spa nobody heats is dead space. Taking the wall out turned the enclosed corner into an open lounging recess connected to the pool, without changing the footprint of the pool itself.

Should coping and waterline tile be replaced with the interior?

On this pool they were. Treating the interior, the coping, the waterline, the steps and the seating as one job means one set-up instead of five, and the finished pool reads as one thing rather than a collection of repairs.
