Westlake Village was planned all at once, which means its pools were built in waves and now age in waves too. Pool builders in Westlake Village spend most of their time on second-generation work: new finishes, new equipment and decks that have outlived the original design. This page covers what we build and rebuild here, and what each stage costs.

Repair, Resurface or Build New?
Westlake Village calls land in one of three places. Here is how we frame the decision:
| Option | What you are seeing | Cost | How long it holds |
|---|---|---|---|
| Repair | One failed part, a leak, a cracked tile or two | $243 to $1,212 typical | Buys years on a sound shell |
| Resurface | Rough or stained finish, plaster past 10 years | $6,000 to $15,000 | 5 to 10 yrs plaster, 20+ pebble |
| Build new | No pool, or a shell past saving | $44,300 to $86,500 in-ground | Decades on the structure |
Pool Work We Handle in Westlake Village
Planned communities age on a schedule. When one street’s pools hit thirty years, the next street is a season behind.
Our pool upgrade services cover finishes, tile, coping and decks. Equipment is separate work, and here it is often the first thing homeowners replace.
Equipment Upgrades and Automation
Equipment installation is what Westlake Village owners search for most, and it is usually a single-speed pump reaching the end. That is our pool equipment team.
We handle heater and pump repair where a unit can be saved, and new equipment where it cannot.
Adding app control means new pool wiring at the panel. Underground leaks get line and fitting repair, and lines that keep failing get a line-by-line replacement.
“Juan came out to look at the problem we had with our pool heater and salt system. He was very helpful and friendly, and provided a full range of options to fix both issues.”

Resurfacing, Plaster and Tile
Original finishes on these pools are long past their service life. We handle complete resurfacing in plaster, quartz or pebble.
| Finish | Lifespan | Upfront cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Plaster | 5 to 10 years | Lowest | A straight refresh on a budget |
| Quartz | 15 to 20 years | Middle | Longer life without pebble pricing |
| Pebble | 20+ years | Highest | Best value on a long-term home |
Lifespans from HomeAdvisor and finish makers Pebble Technology International and SGM. Plaster is quoted at 5 to 10 years by cost guides and 7 to 10 by manufacturers, and water chemistry decides where a pool lands in that range.
On resale, how a remodel affects home value is worth a read.
Hard water leaves a chalk line at the waterline, so fresh waterline tile goes in while the pool is drained.
“Spear sent a technician out the same day and replaced the part in under 30 minutes. Excellent service, good price and no bother.”

Decks, Coping and HOA Approvals
Much of Westlake Village sits under homeowner association rules, and exterior work often needs architectural approval before it starts. We plan deck and coping work around that, not after it.
We handle coping and edge work and slab resurfacing, and we keep the finish choices inside what most associations here will approve.
New Pools, Spas and Features
On a lot without a pool, we handle custom pool builds from design through start-up.
A tired interior gets a new plaster interior with tile and coping.
Families ask for a sunning ledge for shallow lounging.
For cool lake-side evenings we handle installing a spa on shared equipment.
Waterfalls and fire bowls are pool add-ons, easiest while the deck is open.

Westlake Village Pools by the Numbers
- $44,300 to $86,500 is the range for a new in-ground pool, per HomeAdvisor’s 2026 data, with concrete builds at the top. Remodeling an existing shell costs a fraction of that.
- $6,000 to $15,000 covers a full resurfacing, averaging about $11,000, per the same source.
- Permits come from the City of Westlake Village, and many properties also need HOA architectural approval, which is the step most owners forget to budget time for.
Neighborhoods and Local Conditions in Westlake Village
We service pools throughout Westlake Village: the streets around the lake, the neighborhoods off Lindero Canyon and Agoura Road, and the hillside properties toward the Ventura County line.
This is a planned community, so lots are uniform and pools are similar in age and size. That makes scheduling predictable and parts common, which keeps repair costs down.
Wind off the open space is the local nuisance, carrying debris into the water and loading filters faster than an enclosed suburban yard would.
“Highly recommend Mike and his team for anyone looking to upgrade pool equipment, relocate equipment, new installs and much more.”

What Drives the Price of Pool Work in Westlake Village
Quotes here move on four things:
- Scope. Equipment alone, surface alone, or both at once.
- Finish choice. Pebble costs more upfront and less per year.
- Approvals. HOA review adds time, not usually cost.
- Permits. City of Westlake Village review runs on its own schedule.
| Job | Typical range |
|---|---|
| Pump motor repair | $50 to $300 |
| Heater repair | $160 to $730 |
| In-ground leak repair | $350 to $2,700 |
| Full resurfacing | $6,000 to $15,000 |
| New in-ground pool | $44,300 to $86,500 |
National ranges from HomeAdvisor 2026 cost data. Westlake Village quotes depend on access and what we find once the pool is drained.
We compared hiring out against doing it yourself on cost.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of inground pool lasts the longest?
Concrete and gunite pools last the longest of the inground types, with shells that hold up for decades where fiberglass and vinyl have shorter service lives. The trade-off is cost: HomeAdvisor’s 2026 data puts concrete builds at $65,000 to $120,000 against $25,000 to $60,000 for fiberglass. Nearly every pool in Westlake Village is concrete, which is why remodeling usually beats replacing here.
What pool type adds the most home value?
A well-maintained in-ground concrete pool adds the most value, and condition matters more than type. Redfin’s 2019 analysis put the premium on a typical Los Angeles home at about $95,393, but that assumes a pool a buyer wants to inherit. A dated finish and failing equipment turn the same pool into a deduction, which is why resurfacing before listing usually pays.
What is the most popular inground pool size?
The most common inground pool sizes are around 14 by 28 and 16 by 32 feet, which suit a typical family and a standard suburban lot. Westlake Village lots were planned with pools in mind, so sizes here are fairly consistent. Size matters for your budget mainly because resurfacing is priced by surface area, not by the gallons a pool holds.
What is the best size inground pool for a home?
The best size is the one your lot and setbacks allow while leaving usable deck around it. For most families, 14 by 28 or 16 by 32 feet covers swimming and lounging without taking the whole yard. Bigger pools cost more to heat, treat and eventually resurface, so the right size is a running-cost decision as much as a space one.
Is 16×32 a common pool size?
Yes, 16 by 32 feet is one of the most common in-ground pool sizes and a frequent choice on Westlake Village lots. At roughly 512 square feet of surface, a pool that size sits in the middle of HomeAdvisor’s $6,000 to $15,000 resurfacing range. It is large enough for laps and still practical to heat through a shoulder season.
