We provide free on-site consultations with detailed, transparent pricing. No hidden fees, no surprises.

Most pool remodeling projects take 2-6 weeks depending on scope. A simple replaster can be done in 1-2 weeks, while a complete renovation with decking, tile, plumbing, and water features may take 4-6 weeks. Werth Builders manages the entire process including permits, design, and construction with on-site supervision every day.

Yes, most pool remodeling work in California requires building permits, especially for structural changes, plumbing modifications, or electrical work. The good news is that Werth Builders handles all permit acquisition, engineering stamps of approval, plan submissions, and inspections for you. We're experienced with local building departments across Orange County and Southern California.

Absolutely. Most pool remodels work with your existing pool shell. We can resurface the interior, replace tile and coping, add water features, upgrade equipment, and completely transform the surrounding deck and landscaping — all without demolishing your existing pool. In many cases, keeping the existing shell saves tens of thousands of dollars compared to building new.

PebbleTec is a premium pool finish made from natural pebble aggregates. Compared to standard plaster:

• Durability — Lasts 15-20+ years (vs. 5-7 years for plaster)
• Stain resistance — Far more resistant to chemical and mineral staining
• Aesthetics — Beautiful natural look with dozens of color blends
• Texture options — PebbleTec (bold), PebbleSheen (medium), PebbleFina (smooth)

While the upfront cost is higher, the longevity means you'll replaster far less frequently, making it a smart long-term investment.

Yes, adding a spillover spa to an existing pool is one of our most popular remodeling projects. We can design and build a spa that integrates seamlessly with your current pool, including shared or independent heating, jets, lighting, and automation. It's a great way to add value and year-round functionality to your backyard.

We handle everything. Werth Builders specializes in full backyard transformations including pool remodeling, new spa additions, outdoor kitchens and BBQ islands, patio covers and pavilions, fire features, hardscape, decking, lighting, and landscaping. We manage the entire project so you don't have to coordinate multiple contractors. One team, one timeline, one budget.

Werth Builders serves homeowners throughout Southern California, including Huntington Beach, Long Beach, Newport Beach, Seal Beach, Fountain Valley, and the greater Orange County area. As specialists in coastal construction, we understand the unique challenges of building near the coast including corrosion-resistant materials and proper drainage engineering.

We offer a complete range of pool interior finishes:

• Standard white plaster — Classic, affordable, clean look
• Colored plaster — Blues, grays, and custom tints
• Quartz aggregate — Diamond Brite, Hydrazzo (sparkle finish, 10-15 year life)
• Pebble finishes — PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, PebbleFina (natural, 15-20+ year life)
• Glass bead finishes — Recycled glass, luminous shimmer (luxury option)

We bring finish samples to your consultation so you can see and feel the options in person alongside your existing pool and backyard.

Signs your pool needs remodeling rather than a simple repair:

• Plaster is rough, stained, or peeling in multiple areas
• Tile is cracked, missing, or has calcium buildup that won't come off
• Coping is cracked, loose, or visibly worn
• Deck is cracking, lifting, or looks dated
• Equipment is more than 10-15 years old and frequently breaks down
• Your pool just looks outdated compared to the rest of your home

During our free consultation, we'll assess your pool's condition and give you honest advice on whether a repair or full remodel makes the most sense for your situation and budget.
