Professional Pool Remodeling Services in Fresno & Surrounding Counties

Let’s discuss your pool remodeling

If your pool is showing its age, feels outdated, or no longer fits how you use your backyard, a remodel can completely change the experience—often faster and more cost-effectively than homeowners expect. Wildwood Pools has been building, designing, and remodeling pools since 1972, serving homeowners across Fresno, Madera, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo Counties.

Whether you’re looking for a modern new finish, safer steps and entry, upgraded tile and coping, energy-efficient equipment, or a full design transformation, our award-winning team manages the entire remodel—from design through construction—so you can feel confident at every step.

Why Remodel Your Pool with Wildwood Pools

A great remodel does more than “fix” a pool. It improves comfort, safety, efficiency, and the look of your entire outdoor living space.

Common reasons homeowners remodel include:

Cracked, stained, rough, or aging interior finishes
Outdated waterline tile, coping, or decking
Leaks, failing plumbing, or worn skimmers and drains
Inefficient pumps, heaters, filters, or outdated controls
Poor lighting, limited functionality, or lack of safety features
A desire to modernize the design or add features like Baja shelves and water features

In Business Since 1972

Wildwood Pools is built on long-term relationships and long-term results. Our crews understand the specific challenges of Central California and coastal service areas—heat, water chemistry, soil conditions, and permitting differences by city and county.

Award-Winning Designers, Remodelers & Builders

Your remodel should look intentional—not pieced together. Our design and construction teams work together to deliver cohesive results, with guidance on materials, colors, and features that match your home and your budget.

Transparent, Homeowner-Friendly Project Management

You’ll get clear communication, defined next steps, and a plan you can understand before work begins. We’ll help you make informed decisions on scope, materials, and upgrades—without pressure.

Pool Design Options & Popular Upgrades

Your remodel can be simple and cost-effective—or a full reimagining. Many homeowners choose a blend: resurface the interior, refresh the tile line, then add a few upgrades that modernize the experience.

Popular pool remodeling upgrades include:

New waterline tile and accent tile upgrades
New coping (stone, precast, poured interfaces, and modern profiles)
Baja shelf additions (when structurally feasible)
New steps, benches, or seating ledges for comfort and safety
LED color lighting upgrades for night-time ambiance
Water features (sheer descents, scuppers, deck jets, spillways)
Equipment upgrades (variable-speed pumps, efficient filters, modern heaters)
Automation controls (app-based scheduling, lighting scenes, heater control)
Skimmer, drain, and return improvements for better circulation
Safety enhancements (handrails, improved entries, updated drain compliance)

Not sure what’s worth it? We’ll help you prioritize upgrades that improve daily use, reduce maintenance, and deliver the best visual impact for your budget.

Our Remodeling Process

A smooth remodel starts with a proven process. Here’s what you can expect when you work with Wildwood Pools.

Free On-Site Assessment & Design Consultation

We start at your home to evaluate the pool structure, surrounding deck, equipment, and your goals. This visit helps us identify:

What can be improved cosmetically vs. what must be repaired structurally
Safety and code considerations (drains, barriers, electrical, bonding, and more)
Opportunities to upgrade efficiency and reduce operating costs
Design options that fit your style and the way you use your backyard

Custom Design, Options Review & Material Selection

Next, we’ll help you define the remodel’s look and function. Depending on your project, this may include:

Finish and color selections
Waterline tile and accent details
Coping and deck interfaces
Lighting plan (and automation options)
Feature planning (steps, benches, Baja shelf, water features)

If renderings are part of your project scope, we’ll review them together so you know what you’re getting before construction begins.

Permits, Scheduling & Prep

If permits are required, we handle the paperwork and coordinate with local requirements across Fresno, Madera, Monterey, and San Luis Obispo Counties. We also set expectations upfront for access, staging, and how the work zone will be managed.

Before construction begins, we’ll cover:

Work schedule and key milestones
Protection for nearby landscaping and hardscape (as applicable)
Drainage, haul-off, and staging plan
How updates and approvals will work during the project

Demolition, Repairs & Installation

This is where the transformation happens. Scope varies, but many remodels include:

Draining the pool and surface prep
Demo of old tile, coping, and/or interior finish
Structural repairs (as needed)
Plumbing, electrical, and equipment upgrades (as needed)
Installation of tile, coping, finish, lighting, and features

We prioritize jobsite cleanliness, clear communication, and quality control throughout the build.

Final Walkthrough & Care Guidance

At completion, we do a final walkthrough with you to confirm details, answer questions, and review care guidelines for your new surfaces and equipment. You’ll know how to operate any new systems and what to do (and avoid) during the initial curing/startup period.

The absolute best. I had 3 quotes and not only was Wildwood the lowest they were also the best quality. Not only with parts and equipment but with service as well. Stephen worked with us from the beginning and made this a very painless and easy process. I highly recommend Wildwood pools!

Wildwood Aquatech Pools absolutely exceeded our expectations! They designed and built a pool that we’re going to enjoy for many years to come. It all started with our sales representative, Stephen, who took all of our ideas and turned them into an amazing design. And a big shoutout to Sam, our project lead, who was hands‑on throughout the entire process—checking on progress, coordinating the team, and even jumping in to do some of the work himself. We couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend Wildwood Aquatech Pools!

Wildwood did an amazing job installing our pool in 2013. We've really enjoyed it, and felt they were great at communicating and answering our questions. After nearly 6 years of use, a rust spot formed in the plaster and it turned out to be caused by some rebar under the plaster. Wildwood was amazing, and although the pool is out of warranty, they drained the pool and repaired the spot without charge. We're very happy with them, and highly recommend them to anyone.

We found Wildwood based on a recommendation. Stephen was instrumental in helping with the pool / yard design. He was engaging and a part of the construction process from start to finish. All of my questions were quickly answered as he was very responsive and easy to get a hold off. Patty at Wildwood was awesome at managing the project. If I had any concerns with the subs, she was quick to address them and make everything right. I enjoyed working with Wildwood so much that I retained their weekly pool cleaning service! I recommend this company to anyone I know that is wishing to build a pool!

How much does a pool remodel cost?

Many residential pool remodels fall in the $25,000 to $75,000 range, depending on pool size, existing conditions, and the upgrades you choose. We provide a transparent, line-item quote after a site visit so you can see exactly what’s included.

How long will my pool remodel take?

Most remodels take several weeks once construction begins. The timeline depends on scope, permitting (if required), and weather. We’ll provide a clear schedule before work starts and keep you updated throughout the project.

Do you handle permits?

Yes. If your remodel requires permits, Wildwood Pools can manage the process. Requirements vary by city and county, and we’ll explain what applies to your project in Fresno, Madera, Monterey, or San Luis Obispo County.

Can I choose my own materials?

Absolutely. We’ll guide you through finish, tile, coping, lighting, and feature options and help you select combinations that fit your style and budget. If you already have preferences, we can review them for compatibility, durability, and overall design fit.

Do you offer financing?

Financing may be available for qualified homeowners through partner lenders. If you’re interested, tell us during your consultation and we’ll walk you through current options.

Are you licensed and insured?

Wildwood Pools is licensed and insured. We’re happy to provide verification and project documentation during the proposal process.

What’s the best time of year to remodel a pool?

Many homeowners remodel in the off-season or shoulder seasons to be ready for peak swim months. That said, the “best” time depends on your goals, permitting needs, and scheduling availability. We’ll help you plan around how you use your backyard.

Will a remodel make my pool easier to maintain?

It can. Upgrading to modern equipment (like a variable-speed pump), improving circulation, and choosing durable finishes can reduce day-to-day maintenance and improve water clarity when paired with good water care.

Can you build a pool that also works with an outdoor kitchen or patio?

Yes. Many projects include outdoor living elements. Planning these components together improves layout, prevents rework, and creates a cohesive backyard design.

How do I get an estimate to build a pool?

The best first step is a consultation. We’ll discuss your goals, evaluate the site (when possible), and outline options that fit your priorities. From there, we can guide you toward a design and budget that makes sense.
