Baja Shelf Additions for Existing Pools in Gilbert, AZ
Add a Baja shelf to your existing pool, usually for $8,000 to $10,000.
A Baja Shelf Without Building a New Pool
A Baja shelf is a wide, shallow ledge inside the pool. People use it for lounge chairs, for small kids and for cooling off without a full swim. It is one of the most popular upgrades we build.
You do not need a new pool to get one. If your pool has the room, we can add a shelf during a remodel.

Why Gilbert Homeowners Choose Blue Lagoon for a Baja Shelf
We build the shelf, redo the interior and start up the pool with one project manager. Because we service pools every week, we also plan the plumbing so it works after we leave.

Can a Baja Shelf Be Added to Any Pool?
Yes, as long as the pool has room for it. We check that when we walk the job and measure. If you want to see the layout first, we can make CAD drawings for an additional charge.
Baja Shelf Sizes
Many of the Baja shelves we build run 8 to 10 feet. A shelf can also span the full width of the pool, so the size is mostly a matter of space and budget. We settle the size with you at the estimate.
Baja Shelf Cost
Adding a Baja shelf typically costs $8,000 to $10,000. The price moves with the size of the shelf and the extras you add.
The shelf is built while the pool is drained, so it makes sense to do it with a new interior finish. For those prices, see pool resurfacing.
Adding Bubblers or an Umbrella Sleeve to a Baja Shelf
Bubblers and umbrella sleeves are both options on a new shelf. However, bubblers change the plumbing, so we plan them before the build. An umbrella sleeve is set into the shelf, which gives you shade right where you sit.
Adding a Baja Shelf During a Pool Remodel
The shelf goes in while the pool is empty. So this is also the time for other work that needs a dry pool. LED lights are a must while the water is out, and new tile and coping fit into the same schedule.
A full remodel takes two to four weeks, and you deal with one project manager the whole way. We remodel year-round, but many homeowners book fall or winter so they do not lose swim time. See every option on our pool remodeling page.
