Arcadia's big lots and old citrus trees were laid out around ranch homes built in the 1950s and 60s. Many of those homes have been remodeled or rebuilt since, but the pool out back is often still original in shape: a rectangle or kidney with a deep diving end, plaster interior and a narrow deck.
What Arcadia pool remodels usually involve
- Diving pool conversions. Raising the deep end turns a pool nobody dives in into one the whole family uses, and less water means lower chemical and heating costs. How conversions work
- New interior finish. Pebble or quartz replacing worn plaster. Finish comparison
- Tile and coping that match the house. After a home remodel, the pool is often the last thing that still looks original. Clean-lined porcelain tile and travertine or concrete coping are common choices.
- Bigger decks. Older Arcadia pools often have just a few feet of deck. Widening the surround makes room for loungers and shade.
- Equipment. Pools this age often have older pumps and plumbing. The estimate covers what's worth replacing while the pool is drained.
Brick and flagstone edges
Brick and flagstone were common pool edges in mid-century Phoenix, and on ranch-style homes they can still suit the house. The trouble is the mortar. After decades of summer heat and nightly cooling, joints crack, water gets in behind the stones, and pieces loosen. A few loose pieces can sometimes be reset. When the problem runs along much of the pool, the usual fix is new coping with a proper expansion joint at the deck. More on tile and coping replacement.
Irrigation and trees
Many Arcadia lots still take flood irrigation. Water sitting against the deck or the pool wall can undermine decking over time, so grading and drainage around the pool are part of the conversation. Mature citrus and shade trees drop leaves and fruit and their roots spread, which affects finish and tile color choices and where new deck can go.
Planning a pool remodel with a home remodel
If you're renovating or rebuilding the house, coordinate the pool timing with your builder. Heavy equipment crossing a new deck or freshly resurfaced pool is a common, expensive mistake. Doing the pool last, or protecting it, avoids it.
Local FAQ
Pool remodeling in Arcadia: questions
Is it worth converting a diving pool?
For most families, yes. Diving boards are rare now, the deep end goes unused, and a shallower pool is cheaper to run. It costs more than resurfacing alone because the floor is rebuilt.
Can you keep the original mid-century shape?
Absolutely. Many owners keep the classic rectangle or kidney and modernize the tile, coping and finish.
How long does an Arcadia remodel take?
Resurfacing is typically about a week of work days. Conversions and full remodels run several weeks depending on scope.
