Mesa Pool Remodeling FAQ

It depends on the scope. The City of Mesa requires a construction permit to build or fill in an inground pool, and pool permits include structural, electrical and plumbing plans. A new finish or new tile alone is usually a different conversation from reshaping the shell, so we confirm your exact scope with the City before we start.

A resurfacing with new tile usually takes a couple of weeks from drain to refill. A full renovation with structural changes, a spa or a new deck takes longer. Your estimate includes a schedule for each phase.

If the shape, steps and depth still suit you, a new finish, tile and coping may be all you need. If you want a sun shelf, a spa, a shallower deep end or a new deck, it's more efficient to do it all while the pool is drained.

The City's pool barrier brochure says every pool must be enclosed by a barrier at least 5 feet tall, with outward-opening gates that close and latch on their own. We check your barrier as part of the remodel plan.

Pools across Mesa, including Lehi, Mountain Bridge, Desert Uplands, Augusta Ranch, Superstition Springs and Sunland Springs Village.

For resurfacing, tile and most structural work, yes. We plan the drain around the weather and refill as soon as the new finish is applied.

Mostly. The pool area is a work zone while it's drained, but we keep a path to the rest of the yard and close the gates at the end of each day.

It stays in place unless the plan moves it. If the barrier has to come down for access, we put it back before the pool is refilled.

Usually within days of the refill, once the water chemistry is balanced for the new surface. We walk you through the startup schedule.
