Pool Remodeling Villa Park, CA — Estate Pool Renovation
Villa Park's original 1960s and 70s estate pools are now 50+ years old and entering their second or third remodel cycle. Werth Builders modernizes them — Pebble Tec finishes, modern equipment, automation, raised spillover spas, and full backyard transformations on these one-acre estate lots.

VILLA PARK POOL REMODEL
Renovate Your Villa Park Estate Pool
Most pools we remodel in Villa Park were built in the 1960s and 70s on original custom estate lots. Plaster is at end of life, equipment cycled through generations of repairs, dated coping cracked, original tile faded, decks heaved from settlement on expansive clay. Underneath, the gunite shell is usually fine — Villa Park pools were over-built for their era — and a remodel modernizes the entire estate backyard for a fraction of a teardown.
Werth Builders has been remodeling Villa Park pools since 1994. We replumb, swap to Title 20 variable-speed pumps and salt systems, retrofit attached or spillover spas to pools that never had one, and finish with materials that respect each estate's architectural era — Pebble Tec, glass-tile waterlines, travertine or porcelain pavers, and integrated outdoor kitchens.
- Free on-site consultation with honest recommendations
- 3-D design renderings for full remodels
- PebbleTec, quartz, and plaster certified applicators
- All City of Villa Park permits and inspections handled
- Daily on-site supervision until water fill
WHAT WE REMODEL
Pool Remodel Services in Villa Park
From a single resurface to a complete backyard overhaul, here is what we work on every week in Villa Park.
Resurfacing & Replaster
Strip the old plaster, prep the shell, and apply your choice of PebbleTec, quartz, or premium plaster. Most resurfaces complete in 1-2 weeks.
Tile & Coping Replacement
Swap dated waterline tile for glass mosaic, natural stone, or modern porcelain. Replace cracked coping with travertine, paver, or bullnose.
Deck & Hardscape
Tear out cracked concrete and pour a new deck — travertine, pavers, stamped concrete, flagstone, or board-formed concrete that stays cool underfoot.
Add Water Features
Sheer descents, scuppers, deck jets, bubblers, fire bowls, and grottos that turn an ordinary pool into a backyard centerpiece.
Equipment Upgrades
Variable-speed pumps, salt systems, energy-efficient heaters, and smart automation. Title 20 compliant — and your monthly utility bill drops fast.
Add a Spillover Spa
Retrofit a custom gunite spa onto an existing pool — typically 4-8 weeks. We tie into existing plumbing or add dedicated equipment as needed.
POOL FINISHES
Choosing a New Interior Finish
The interior finish is the most visible part of any pool remodel — and the one that affects price and lifespan the most. Here is what Villa Park homeowners actually choose.
Standard White Plaster
Classic, clean, and the most affordable option. Lifespan around 7-12 years. Smooth feel, but stains and ages faster than other options. Best for budget-minded remodels.
Budget-FriendlyQuartz Aggregate (Diamond Brite, Hydrazzo)
Plaster blended with quartz for a subtle sparkle and 12-15 year lifespan. Better stain resistance than plain plaster, available in many colors.
Mid-RangePebbleTec, PebbleSheen, PebbleFina
Natural pebble aggregate finishes that last 15-20+ years. Beautiful natural look, excellent stain and chemical resistance. Texture options range from bold (PebbleTec) to refined (PebbleFina).
PremiumGlass Bead Finishes
Recycled glass beads create a luminous, mirror-like surface that shimmers in Villa Park sunlight. Smooth feel, excellent stain resistance, modern look. Great pairing for contemporary architecture.

When to Remodel Your Villa Park Pool
Most Villa Park pools start showing real wear around the 10-15 year mark. Here is what to watch for.
Estate-Scale 1960s-70s Pool Inventory
Villa Park's original 1960s-70s estate pools are at 50-65 years. Hundreds of these pools across the city are due for major remodels. We know the typical original construction methods — solid shells, basic plaster, single-skimmer plumbing — and how to modernize without rebuilding.
Full Backyard Transformations
Most Villa Park remodels are not just pool refreshes — they are full backyard transformations. Pool + spa retrofit + new deck + full outdoor kitchen + landscape redo + sport court add. We coordinate the entire scope as one project with one timeline.
Expansive Clay Deck Replacement
Original 1960s-70s decks on expansive clay have cracked, heaved, and reached the end of useful life. We tear out and replace with travertine, paver, board-formed concrete, or porcelain pavers, engineered with proper drainage and articulated joints to handle clay shrink-swell.
Spillover Spa Retrofits
Many original Villa Park pools never had a spa, or had a basic non-spillover. We retrofit attached or spillover spas as part of a wider remodel — finishing to match a fresh resurface and the renovated estate aesthetic.
Modern Pebble & Glass Finishes
White plaster from 1968 looks like white plaster from 1968. We replace with Pebble Tec, Pebble Sheen, Pebble Fina, glass-bead, or quartz aggregate finishes that match the high-end aesthetic Villa Park homeowners expect.
Honest Remodel-vs-Rebuild Calls
Most Villa Park gunite shells from the 1960s and 70s have decades of life left. The exceptions are usually severe shell cracks from settlement on heavily expansive clay, or pools that no longer fit the lot after a major addition. We assess at the free consultation.
