Fontana Pool Builders provides professional pool remodeling & renovation in Fontana, CA for residential and commercial properties across the Inland Empire. Pool remodeling in Fontana typically costs a quarter to half of a new build, because the shell is almost always structurally sound and the expensive excavation was paid for decades ago.
What has aged out is the plaster, the tile, the coping, a deck that is too hot to stand on, and equipment that predates every efficiency rule California has passed since. The Inland Empire version of this pool is very recognizable.
A 1980s or 1990s gunite shell with a diving board nobody uses, a nine-foot deep end that eats half the water volume, dark blue tile, a Kool Deck surface that has chalked and cracked, and a single-speed pump that legally cannot be replaced like for like any more.
The best remodels here are as much redesign as refinish.
Filling a deep end back to five or six feet is one of the most satisfying changes we make, because it converts wasted volume into usable shallow space, cuts heating and chemical cost, and makes the pool safer for kids.
Standard scope is a pebble or quartz interior, new glass or porcelain waterline tile, travertine or paver decking replacing hot cracked concrete, a Title 20 compliant variable-speed pump and cartridge filter, LED color-changing lights instead of 300-watt incandescents, and automation.
That package changes both how the pool looks and roughly halves the running cost.
Larger renovations add a raised gunite spa with a spillover, a tanning ledge with bubblers, sheer descents off a raised bond beam, or a shade structure that makes the deck usable in August.
One thing to know before you start: a permitted remodel in California triggers the Swimming Pool Safety Act requirement for two approved drowning-prevention features, so if your yard has only a perimeter fence that becomes part of the job.
We raise it at quote rather than at inspection. We also inspect the pad first, because a $10,000 interior on failing plumbing is money badly spent.
With 15+ years of experience, our insured and bonded team brings the right materials and equipment to every job — custom 3D pool design, gunite and shotcrete shells, C-53 licensed pool construction, Lytle Creek alluvial cobble excavation, pebble, mini-pebble and quartz interior finishes, glass and porcelain waterline tile — and backs the work with a written workmanship warranty. We serve Fontana and nearby communities including San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona.

Materials, equipment and how we do pool remodeling & renovation
The difference between pool remodeling & renovation that lasts and pool remodeling & renovation that gets redone in three years is almost always preparation and materials, not the finish you see on day one. We work with custom 3D pool design, gunite and shotcrete shells, C-53 licensed pool construction, Lytle Creek alluvial cobble excavation, spec them to the job instead of to the invoice, and write the material grades into the free estimate so you know exactly what you are buying.
Every Fontana job runs the same way: site walk and measurements, written scope and fixed price, protection of the surrounding area, then the work itself with a daily clean-up. 15+ years of pool work in the Inland Empire means we have already met whatever your property is going to throw at us — awkward access, older construction, an HOA with opinions.
