WESTMINSTER POOL REMODEL
Renovate Your Original Westminster Pool
Most pools we remodel in Westminster were built in the 1960s during the city's population doubling. Original gunite shells are usually fine — they were built solidly. What's failed is the equipment (rebar corrosion, obsolete galvanized or copper plumbing, dated single-skimmer circulation), the plaster (chalky after a half century), the tile (faded, missing pieces), and the deck (cracked from settlement).
Werth Builders has been remodeling Westminster pools since 1994. Replumb to schedule-40, swap equipment to Title 20 variable-speed pumps and salt systems, upgrade the home electrical to 200A, retrofit attached or spillover spas, and finish with materials that respect the multigenerational way Westminster yards actually get used.

WHAT WE REMODEL
Pool Remodel Services in Westminster
From a single resurface to a complete backyard overhaul, here is what we work on every week in Westminster.
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 Westminster 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 Westminster sunlight. Smooth feel, excellent stain resistance, modern look. Great pairing for contemporary architecture.

When to Remodel Your Westminster Pool
Most Westminster pools start showing real wear around the 10-15 year mark. Here is what to watch for.
Specialists in 1960s Westminster Pools
Westminster Village, Westminster Mall area, Sigler Park, original Westminster tracts — about half the city's homes were built in the 1940s-60s, with the majority of pools dating to the 1960s buildout. Hundreds of pools 55-65 years old.
Plumbing Replacement for Modern Equipment
Original 1960s Westminster pools commonly used galvanized or early-era copper plumbing now at end of life. We replumb to schedule-40 with proper flow design for variable-speed equipment.
200A Panel Upgrades
Original 100A or 125A FPE/Zinsco panels do not handle modern pool equipment plus outdoor kitchen plus EV charging. We coordinate the 200A upgrade as part of the remodel.
Pool Safety Act Compliance
Many original 1960s pools predate California's current Pool Safety Act requirements (2 of 7 approved safety features). Remodels are the right time to bring barriers, gates, alarms, or covers up to current code.
Modern Finishes & Tile
White plaster from 1965 looks like white plaster from 1965. We replace with PebbleTec, PebbleSheen, quartz aggregate, or glass-bead finishes — and swap dated tile for glass mosaic, natural stone, or modern porcelain.
Spa Retrofits
Many original Westminster pools never had a spa. We retrofit attached or spillover spas as part of a wider remodel.
