As a licensed and insured California pool contractor, Legacy Pool & Spa specializes in residential pool renovations ranging from cosmetic upgrades to complete backyard transformations. Led by owner Kelli Clancy, a Genesis-trained pool construction professional and licensed C53 Swimming Pool Contractor, our team brings extensive construction expertise to every renovation project.

From replacing worn finishes and outdated equipment to completely redesigning your pool’s shape and functionality, we help homeowners breathe new life into existing pools while improving safety, efficiency, and enjoyment.

Why Renovate Your Pool?

Many pools built 15, 20, or even 30 years ago were constructed with materials, equipment, and design concepts that no longer meet modern standards. Renovating your pool can dramatically improve its appearance, functionality, energy efficiency, and long-term value.

Whether you’re looking to modernize an outdated backyard, correct structural issues, add new features, or reduce maintenance costs, a professionally planned renovation can completely transform your outdoor living space.

At Legacy Pool & Spa, we don’t just repair pools—we help homeowners reimagine what’s possible.

A Renovation Process Designed Around You

One of the biggest differences between Legacy Pool & Spa and many renovation contractors is our design-first approach.

We approach renovation projects much like we approach new pool construction. Before any work begins, we spend time learning about how you use your pool, what frustrations you currently have, and what your goals are for the finished project.

Some homeowners want a modern resort-inspired aesthetic. Others want a more family-focused layout. Some are focused on improving efficiency, while others want to create an outdoor entertaining space that becomes the centerpiece of their backyard.

Our job is to help you define that vision and then build a renovation plan that aligns with your goals and budget.

Visualizing Your Renovation Before Construction Begins

Many homeowners struggle to picture how renovation changes will look once complete.

That’s why Legacy Pool & Spa can provide professional design renderings that help bring your ideas to life before construction begins.

Whether you’re changing finishes, adding a spa, reworking the pool shape, or introducing new features, design visualizations help eliminate guesswork and allow you to move forward with confidence.

Throughout the project, we communicate clearly, explain what to expect during each phase of construction, and help guide you through every decision from materials and finishes to equipment and automation.

Why Hiring a Licensed & Insured Pool Contractor Matters

Pool renovation work often involves structural modifications, electrical systems, plumbing, gas lines, hydraulic design, and specialized construction techniques.

Hiring an unlicensed contractor may seem less expensive initially, but it can expose homeowners to significant risks including:

  • Improper construction methods
  • Code violations
  • Safety hazards
  • Insurance liability issues
  • Incomplete work
  • Poor workmanship
  • Costly future repairs

Legacy Pool & Spa is fully licensed and insured to perform pool construction, renovation, and remodeling work throughout California.

When you hire a licensed contractor, you’re investing in professional expertise, proper permitting, quality workmanship, and peace of mind that your project is being completed correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions

Every project is unique. Costs depend on the scope of work, materials selected, structural modifications, equipment upgrades, and other factors. During your consultation, we’ll provide recommendations and a detailed estimate tailored to your project.

Most renovations take anywhere from a few weeks to several months depending on complexity, permitting requirements, weather conditions, and the scope of work being performed.

Common signs include rough or stained plaster, cracked tile, deteriorating coping, persistent leaks, outdated equipment, rising utility bills, recurring repair issues, or a pool design that no longer meets your family’s needs. If your pool is more than 15 to 20 years old, a renovation may improve both appearance and performance.

Yes. In many cases we can add an attached or raised spa as part of a renovation project. We’ll evaluate your existing pool structure and discuss available options during the design phase.

The best finish depends on your desired appearance, budget, and maintenance preferences. Traditional white plaster remains a popular option, while quartz and pebble finishes offer enhanced durability, unique textures, and a wider range of colors. We help homeowners compare options and select the finish that best fits their goals.

Some renovations require permits, while others do not. Generally, in Sacramento, Placer, and El Dorado counties, most structural changes, electrical work, plumbing modifications, and certain equipment upgrades often require permitting. We help manage that process and ensure compliance with local regulations.

Yes. Many homeowners choose to complete renovations in stages based on budget and long-term plans. For example, you may resurface the pool now and add a spa, outdoor kitchen, or entertainment area later. We can help create a master plan that allows future improvements to be integrated seamlessly.

In most cases, yes. Modern pumps, filters, heaters, automation systems, and salt systems are significantly more efficient and reliable than equipment installed decades ago.

Yes. Most traditional chlorine pools can be converted to a saltwater system. Salt chlorination systems can provide more consistent sanitation, softer-feeling water, and reduced handling of pool chemicals. We’ll evaluate your existing equipment and recommend the best conversion approach.

Yes. We perform structural crack repairs, leak repairs, plumbing repairs, and other corrective work designed to restore the integrity of your pool.

Most renovation projects require the pool to be drained so the shell, plumbing, tile, and interior surfaces can be properly inspected and repaired. We’ll explain exactly what the process involves before construction begins.
