Pool Remodels & Renovations

Give your existing pool a complete transformation, inside and out.

Your Existing Pool Has More Potential Than You Think


Most pools don't need to be replaced, they need to be rethought. Whether your pool is showing its age with cracked plaster, outdated tile, and inefficient equipment, or you simply want to add features that better fit how your family uses the backyard today, A Cut Above Construction, Pools & Landscape Inc. can bring it back to life.


We've been remodeling and renovating pools across Southwest Riverside County since 1988, and we approach every renovation project with the same standard of care we bring to new construction. That means a proper site assessment before any work begins, engineered solutions for structural issues, and a finished product that feels cohesive rather than patched together.


Renovations range from straightforward resurfacing and equipment upgrades to full-scale transformations that add spas, water features, expanded decking, automation systems, and outdoor living elements. No matter the scope, the process starts with understanding exactly what you want to accomplish, and building a plan that gets you there without unnecessary surprises along the way.

Why Choose A Cut Above for Pool Renovations



New Construction Standards 

We apply the same level of site assessment, engineering, and craftsmanship to renovation work that we bring to new builds, because a remodel deserves to be done right the first time.

Full Scope Under One Roof 

From replastering and equipment upgrades to new decking, spa integration, and landscaping, A Cut Above handles every element of your renovation in-house without subcontracting the work out.

35 Years of Local Experience 

Having worked throughout Southwest Riverside County since 1988, we understand local soil conditions, permit requirements, and how pools age in this climate, knowledge that informs better renovation decisions.

Transparent Process 

We survey your property before quoting, walk you through every recommended upgrade, and explain why each element is included. No vague estimates, no scope creep after the contract is signed.

Hayward Equipment Upgrades 

When your renovation includes equipment replacement, we install Hayward's current lineup; variable speed pumps, salt systems, and smart automation, so your renovated pool runs more efficiently than it ever did.

Renovation Options to Consider


A pool renovation can be as targeted or as comprehensive as your goals and budget allow. Below are the most common upgrades A Cut Above incorporates into remodel projects across Southwest Riverside County.

Pool Replastering and Resurfacing

Restore a clean, smooth finish with plaster, pebble, quartz, or glass bead surfaces. Resurfacing is one of the most impactful cosmetic improvements a pool can receive and extends the life of the shell significantly.


Tile Replacement

Waterline tile takes more wear than any other surface in the pool. Updated tile selections can dramatically change the character of the finished space.


Equipment Upgrades

Replacing older single-speed pumps, outdated heaters, and aging filtration systems with Hayward's current variable speed, salt, and smart automation lineup reduces energy costs and improves overall performance.


Spa Integration

An attached or freestanding spa can be added to many existing pools with the right structural assessment, giving you a dedicated space for hydrotherapy and relaxation adjacent to your pool.


Water Feature Additions

Waterfalls, deck jets, bubblers, and spillover spas can be added to an existing pool to improve the experience and update the visual character of the backyard.


Decking and Coping Replacement

Cracked or outdated concrete decking and coping are among the most common renovation requests. New pavers, cool deck surfaces, and reshaped coping lines can transform the look of a finished pool.


LED Lighting Upgrades

Hayward's ColorLogic LED system can be retrofitted into most existing pools, replacing incandescent fixtures with energy-efficient, color-changing lighting that makes the pool usable and enjoyable after dark.


Pool Shape and Depth Modifications

For more substantial renovations, A Cut Above can reconfigure the shape, depth, or footprint of an existing pool — including adding tanning ledges, benches, or adjusting the deep end to better suit your family's use.


Saltwater Conversion

Converting from a traditional chlorine system to Hayward's AquaRite salt chlorination system reduces chemical maintenance, improves water comfort, and lowers ongoing operating costs.
