Pool Contractor Bay Area - Legendary Pools Inc Creates Swimming Pools Families Love

Real pool design means sitting in your backyard in Los Altos Hills and figuring out where the sun hits at 4pm. It means knowing that the big oak tree is gonna drop leaves in October, so maybe we angle the pool different. It means understanding that your lot slopes weird, so we gotta get creative with the drainage.

We do swimming pool design the old way. Come to your house, walk the yard, ask questions. What do you actually want? A lap pool cause you swim every morning? Something the kids can play in? A spa where you can sit after work and forget about the 101 traffic?

Then we draw it up. Show you exactly what it'll look like, where everything goes, what it costs. No surprises later about "unforseen site conditions" that magically cost an extra 20 grand. Our swimming pool design process is strait forward - you know what your getting before we dig one shovel of dirt.

Your pool pump dies on Friday. Who you gonna call? We run a swimming pool repair service that actually responds. Got a guy on call seven days a week for emergencies. Cause we know pools don't break on a schedule - they break when your having people over, when it's 95 degrees, and when your kids are home from school.

Common repairs we handle: pump motors burn out, heaters stop lighting, filters crack, valves start leaking, and automation systems glitch. We fix all of it. The water here is hard - lots of minerals that eat up equipment faster. We see calcium buildup on everything, especially in San Jose and Cupertino. We've brought back pools that looked like swamps.

Spas take more abuse than pools. Hotter water, more chemicals, jets running all the time. Spa restoration is one of our specialties. We've restored spas at homes in Saratoga, Hillsborough, Tiburon - all over the Bay.

What usually needs restoring: the surface gets rough and stained, jets stop working right, plumbing develops leaks. We make sure everything actually works together. Recently restored a spa in Atherton where the original builder had used cheap spa jets that all failed. We put in proper jets and upgraded to a more efficient heater.

Most people don't think about valves until they start leaking. Valves control where water goes in your pool system and are under pressure all the time. Common problems: handles break off, valve body cracks, and o-rings fail.

Our valve repair replacement service handles all of it. We stock common valves so we can usually do repairs same day or next day. We replace old, corroded valves with modern stuff that'll last another 20 years, making the whole system easier to use.

You want to use your pool year-round in the Bay Area? You need a heater. We install gas heaters for speed, heat pumps for efficiency, and solar heating for Belvedere and Portola Valley families with lots of sun.

Our heater installations include all gas lines, electrical, plumbing, and permits. We also do heater repair when yours stops working. Ignition problems, bad sensors, clogged heat exchangers – we can usually fix them unless replacement makes more sense.
