California Custom Pools

Our installation was very professional. Danny set things up properly from the start with design recommendations that set CCP apart from others. All site personnel were great, professional and did quality work. We had a few hiccups toward the end, as projects always do, and this is where Danny and George really shined by being responsive and timely in getting the issues addressed. Our project is now finished and it came out better than we had anticipated.

I can’t say enough amazing things about California custom pools! From the very beginning, Danny was incredibly attentive and listened to all of our ideas regarding our pool yet had incredible feedback and guidance in the areas where we knew nothing! So surprised at how quickly the process went and how organized they were with every step ! It was really important to us to feel like we were working with a professional and not just a contractor. This was reflected in every aspect of the job. Me being an interior designer I had my own ideas and they trusted me and I think we all were thrilled with how the pool turned out! George was incredible, managing the project and handling my concerns and any questions! When something didn’t go the way as we planned, which wasn’t very often, the teamwork was evident and resolutions were quickly made! I would highly recommend using California custom pools for your pool project !!!

Working with California Custom Pools has been an absolute pleasure. They took the time to listen to my vision and built the pool tailored to my needs. Blain, George, and the entire team are dedicated to providing the best service and support. I highly recommend California Custom Pools.

We bid out 6 different pool contractors. California Custom Pools made the choice easy. They did what they said they were going to do, in the time they said there were going to do it, and most importantly, for the price they quoted us. We're very happy with the finished product. Brian, George, and Danny communicated well and were professional throughout the whole process.

Very professional, prompt and the communication was good thru the whole process. The final result was amazing and we are very happy

Had three different pool companies come to give me quotes, California Custom Pools is the only one that returned the quote in 24 hours. They did a fantastic job resurfacing my pool from plaster to pebble tech. The job was completed in a timely manner. We could not be happier and excited to start swimming again.

California Custom Pools, Brian, George and all of their crews were great! The level of care for their customers really extends to above and beyond.. hands down! Very professional, patient and transparent. I highly recommend. What they quote you is what they charge. Additionally, what they offer as base level items are considered upgrades with many big name and mom 'n pop shop companies. I went through a couple of years of bids and going back and forth.CA Custom Pools came along and I knew they were the right fit. Once again, thank you guys for turning my family's back yard into the dream we have long waited for.

We were captivated by the witty website and featured pool projects and then Brian completely sold us on Calif Custom Pools with his willingness to make revisions to our design as we considered all the possibilities. George was a dream to work with—he managed every detail and we had excellent communication at every stage of the process. Every crew that came—from excavation to cement and tile, plumbing and electric, fencing and more—was professional, courteous and respectful. In 30 years of house projects this massive venture was our best experience. They went above and beyond as I also worked with George Sr to do some fencing and painting. I recommend them most highly!

As a lawyer, I have dealt with, negotiated with, and paid attention to project details; but never have I worked with a company that is so professional, educated on local building codes and HOA rules, as California Custom Pools. Danny, the owner, Not only possesses these qualities himself but so do his business associates and employees. It is a family-centric, no-problem, let's-get-it-done attitude. A surprisingly refreshing quality that was not expected but gratefully welcomed. His portfolio is so diversified that his company is able to create and execute projects as small as a single-family home pool to as large as major, large-scope projects with hotels or custom homes. Five stars for this family owned business! From a guy that rarely uses the Internet, there was no way that I was going to forego touting his company after the exceptional work and timely completion of my family pool. Kudos Danny and California Custom Pools! Hoping that other businesses will catch on to your customer and family-centric, no-job -is-too-big-or small-for-me, perspective. Thanks again! -J House

Danny and George and their crew were wonderful. Answered every question and concern, tweaked the plans when we needed them to be adjusted. The pool is gorgeous. It took about six weeks from when they broke ground to finish and honestly, I feel like my HOA took longer than they did! Definitely recommend!

Danny and his team were outstanding from the start to finsh. The process and timeline was quick. 28 days from start of construction to completed swimming pool. I really appreciated Danny no nonsense approach. Danny explained the process, Helping with financing, Help with HOA doc's, Help with irrigation issues, knew what the city requirements were. Thanks for a great experience and a awesome pool.

After my neighbors got their pool done with California Custom Pools and I saw their beautiful swimming pool. I gave them a call and Met Danny and George they literally transformed my back yard in to the yard of my dreams. They helped us through the entire process. They have excellent customer service and communication. I could not be happier!!! I would recommend them to anyone looking to build a pool or transform their back yard.

Danny and George did an amazing job on our pool. They got the job done fast and efficiently. They also work with you along the way if you have any concerns or questions. We are happy with our new pool.

Our pool is gorgeous and all of our experiences with California Custom Pools was exceptional. We highly recommend them if you're looking for quality work at a competitive price. Danny, George, and the entire crew were a pleasure to work with. Their communication is stellar and their performance is always as promised and better. They go above and beyond in customer satisfaction and we couldn't have asked for more!

Danny is really a great designer and salesman. Communication is top notch. I've peppered him with questions, asked for changes on his design, and he has done everything I've asked, and more. Our pool is DONE! It's beautiful. Everyone who sees it, the first word is "WOW"! From the beginning of this process, Danny and George respected our vision and made it come to life. Their suggestions were exactly what we needed. They were amazing working with us on our budget. The value gained for our home vs the money spent on this project was well worth it. Their commitment to us never wavered. And THEY FINISHED EXACTLY ON TIME! The quality of their work exceeded our expectations. We couldn't be happier! THANK YOU to Danny, George, "the Joses," Javier, Big George, the craftsmen that worked all the trades involved in creating this paradise at our home in 100-104 degree heat, we will be forever grateful to have met you and become part of the Cali Custom Pools family. Don't wait. Call them TODAY!!

The workmanship was very good, the different crews were very efficient, and work was performed per schedule. There was some after cleanup I needed to do after the tile cutting dust was left on the rocks in the backyard, which don’t clean up easyly. The demo crew was very particular in getting all the areas covered and after cleanup was really good as was the team laying the plaster and mini pebbles. The only downside was the coordination among the teams, and mini pebble availability. For this inconvenience the company provided glass and shells upgrade. There were no cost overruns, and the work was completed on time. However other customers jobs were rescheduled to meet our schedule due to material delays. The pool startup didn’t work well. I had to add 10 lbs of stabilizer (CYA) to balance the pool, and added the DE. Over all the pool looks fantastic, and the we have been using it a lot.

If I could give Danny at California Custom Pools more than five stars, I absolutely would. Him and his staff were completely on point, professional and took our best interest at hand regarding our remodel of our pool and then added their wealth of knowledge in order to make the experience and outcome of our pool remodel, the best that it could be. From the beginning of this experience to the end, it was amazing! Danny and his crew worked 6 to 7 days a week helping answer every question that both my wife and I had during this renovation, performing all the work in an extremely timely manner. All of his recommendations that we utilized helped make this process much easier than we expected. We wouldn’t have received the outcome we did if Danny and his crew were not on point and great at what they do. From the pool remodel to the landscaping, and finally the dog run, Danny, thank you very much sir for a job well done. My wife Adriana, and I appreciate everything you did for our family. I would absolutely 100% recommend Danny and California Custom Pools to all of my friends and neighbors.

From the very beginning the customer service was excellent. Calls, text and renderings of our project were sent over to us ASAP. We were so impressed with the customer service we started on our project 1 month early. We did a complete pool remodel with concrete pool deck and landscaping. Customer service and craftsmanship were excellent. Would highly recommend!

Our decision to go with California Custom Pools has been the best decision we ever made. As a retired veteran family we had very high expectations and worked for months at gathering quotes and meeting with various vendors but non ever came close to the professionalism and follow through in ensuring our project was exactly as we envisioned and beyond. Danny and his team are dream makers as from day one they captured exactly what we wanted in our project and went above and beyond to ensure that they gave us everything we asked for and more. It has now been about a month since the project has been completed and we are just thrilled at how our backyard has transformed and become the oasis we always envisioned with personal touches that included our own pool design and grandchildren handmade heart keepsake. I recommend and encourage anyone that’s in the market for a new pool to contact Danny at California Custom Pools you will not regret it!!!

California Custom Pools was definitely the best decision when looking for the right pool company and within the budget I was looking for. I was expecting a long process and wait time to have my pool complete, but everything went quick, and the pool was complete in record time. With that said, that wouldn’t be possible without George and Danny pushing to make things happen. Definitely well-organized with planning and ensuring I was kept in the loop. That’s one of the key things for me is always knowing what’s going on and what’s next, they ensured I was well informed. With any project there are going to be challenges and changes that may happen once things get rolling, fortunately having George and Danny backing me with the major changes in design due to what I thought was a slight incline in the back yard ended up building a more up to date and better design that worked well with our property. I don’t really put out recommendations, but in this case if you’re looking for someone you can trust and ensure you’re getting the quality you paid for, California Custom Pools would definitely be the right decision to go with on a major purchase like this. Family loves it and most importantly they followed my most important thing when building my pool design, ensure there is plenty of room for some cornhole.

He was really easy to get a hold of and super responsive. The project was pretty smooth and all the sub contractors seemed skilled at what they were doing. Overall happy with how everything turned out

Any questions or concerns I had were addressed promptly, and I always felt well-informed about the progress. The project was completed within the agreed-upon timeline and it turned out great.

I couldn't be happier with my new pool and the outstanding service provided by California Custom Pools (Danny)

The team at California Custom Pools is the best in the business. Not only did they do a fantastic job designing my amazing backyard but they did an even better job building it. I’ve since referred them to several of my friends and can’t wait to see what they come up with!

For anyone who is looking for a pool or spa contractor in San Diego, I can't recommend Danny Smith at California Custom Pools highly enough. In the winter of 2023, I hired Danny to remodel the exterior of my pre-existing spa, which was custom-built by another company. It is nearly impossible to find a competent contractor to fix or complete another contractor's job that was done incorrectly or resulted in significant problems, so when Danny and his crew took on the difficult job of remodeling my spa, I knew I was fortunate. My existing spa was surrounded by a wooden deck that was warped and disintegrating, and I had searched for more than a year to find someone to help me with this project. Because I didn't know what the was underneath the deck, it was a challenge for any contractor to bid on this job. Prior to finding Danny, multiple contractors and carpenters quoted me prices between 15-30K given that the possible solutions were contingent upon may unknown factors. However, Danny was able to thoroughly assess the possibilities on location by looking closely at the existing deck and consulting with his crew. He then provided me with several viable options that were within my budget and in less than a month, we agreed on a plan and schedule the demo. In 5 days (including the weekend in-between) the wooden deck was gone and replaced with scored, colored concrete. I was blown away! No delays, no unreturned phone calls, no excuses. Just complete follow-through. And after the job was completed, the crew came back to clean up the rocks and dust from the concrete truck, which I really appreciated. I was finally able to enjoy my spa, which continues to look beautiful, blends with my entire backyard, and is easy to maintain. Overall, I highly recommend Danny Smith with California Custom Pools. who is professional, great to work with, honest, and dependable. His tile/cement crew are skilled in their craft, always arrived on time, and consistently walked me through the process while answering my questions. What really makes Danny and his crew stand out is their design creativity combined with a commitment to details and follow-through. I've worked with a lot of contractors over the years as a homeowner, and it was refreshing to have a positive experience from start to finish. Thank you for everything Danny!

I just moved to Murrieta, CA, and bought a house with a pool. I know nothing about pools. I’m so glad I contacted Danny at California Custom Pools. He was so easy to work with and the pool looks and works perfectly.
