Underwood Pool Contractors remodels existing pools across Freedom and the Pajaro Valley, going past a simple refresh to reshape, resize, and reimagine what you already have. A remodel can add a heated spa, change the footprint, grow the deck, or rework the whole backyard for our long, mild season. We design the remodel to your goals and build it with one accountable crew.
- Pool reshaped and footprint revised

- Design-build under a single crew
How a remodel differs from a renovation
A renovation refreshes a pool; a remodel rethinks it. Where a renovation replaces finishes and tile, a remodel can change the actual shape and footprint, add structural features, and rework how the whole backyard functions. It is the right move when the pool you have simply no longer fits the way you want to use your yard.
Common remodels here include adding an attached heated spa, building a sun shelf or beach entry, deepening or reshaping the pool, and folding in new decking, hardscape, and outdoor living space suited to long evenings outdoors. These are structural changes, so they call for the same design and engineering rigor as a brand-new build.
Because a remodel reaches into the shell and the structure, it is worth doing once and doing it properly. We design the remodel around your goals, engineer the changes correctly, and build them to last through the years.
Designing a remodel that fits the property
A good remodel starts with what is not working about the current pool. Maybe the shape feels dated, the deck is too cramped for the way you entertain, or the pool lacks the heated spa or shallow area your family keeps wishing for. We listen to all of it, then design a remodel that solves the real problems rather than piling on features for their own sake.
We design the remodel to work with the parts of the pool worth keeping and to suit the specific Santa Cruz County parcel it sits on. Access, grade, soil, and drainage all shape what is possible, and designing with them in mind keeps the project buildable and the budget honest.
You see the remodel in a clear plan and approve both the design and the written price before we open up the existing pool. There are no surprises about scope or cost once the work is underway.
One crew owns the entire remodel
A remodel can involve excavation, structural work, new plumbing and equipment, fresh finishes, and new decking, which is precisely why a single design-build crew matters so much. We own every phase, so the new work ties cleanly into the old and the project stays accountable from start to finish.
We sequence the remodel to keep the backyard usable as long as the scope allows and to finish efficiently once the work begins. Throughout, we keep you posted on progress and on what comes next.

Remodeling the backyard, not just the pool
The best remodels rarely stop at the edge of the pool. Once you are reworking the shape or footprint, it is the natural time to rethink the whole backyard: the deck, the hardscape, the outdoor living areas, and how it all flows together. A remodel that addresses the pool in isolation can leave you with a great new pool surrounded by a yard that no longer matches it.
We design remodels with the entire outdoor space in mind, so the reworked pool, the new decking, a heated spa, and any fire or lighting features come together as one cohesive backyard. On the Central Coast, that often means planning the space for cool evenings as well as warm afternoons, so the remodeled backyard genuinely gets used across our long season.
Because we design and build all of it under one crew, the remodel can transform not just the pool but the way you live in the whole backyard. That coordinated approach is what turns a remodel from a repair job into a genuine redesign of your outdoor space, and it is what most homeowners are really after when they decide to remodel.
