Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"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"

We’ve designed and built thousands of swimming pools and landscapes for home owners throughout Southern California for over 70 years. We Create Beautiful Outdoor Spaces that You Will Love for Years to Come!

"Project manager was a general contractor not a pool person. You do not know the quality of the work until it is done then it is too late. Concrete has large dark blotches in a few places. I think it?s because concrete wasn?t mixed thoroughly leaving an inconsistent color. Looks bad. Developed a crack within the first couple of weeks and was told nothing could be done. Concrete around top of spa is crooked and inconsistent. Amateur job. My neighbor?s was done around the same time (different company) and is perfectly straight. Salesman was knowledgeable but never returned to check the job. I do not think anyone really knew what they were doing. Just kind of faking it. Do not recommend. No real upside to the job."

Firefighter owned and operated, Next Level Pool Service and Repair is the premier pool cleaning company offering residential services to our clients in the Murrieta, Temecula, Fallbrook area. We are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making your satisfaction our number one priority.

"This is a small business. These guys are trying to further their business through word of mouth. I am extremely satisfied with their service. We tried others for years. Paid more got less. Less service, less reliability and some caused damage by using inappropriate chemicals. Now, here comes James. He knows his business 110% . Can answer all my questions to my satisfaction. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I didn't even get to mention they have the best prices in the county that I have seen. So much more for your money. Like what you ask? Do you get photos of your crystal clean waters after the service? Detailed service reports which include chemical concentration before and after treatment including what was added and it's all sent to your email after the visit is complete. Great for record keeping purposes. Oh, one last thing, they are great with repairs. If it's something they can't fix they set you up with their colleagues who can. If you own anything pool or spa related and don't give these guys a call you aren't getting the gold standard in aquatic care. I highly recommend this company."

Above ground pool installation services FAQs

The cost to repair a hot tub or spa ranges from about $170 to $550, depending on the repairs needed. Some of the most common hot tub repairs include leaks, clogged filters, and tripped GFCI breakers. If it’s an electrical problem, you should contact a professional hot tub repair service. Don’t DIY electrical repairs on a hot tub, as poorly repaired wiring can make the hot tub a serious electrocution hazard.

The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.

Pool repair costs vary depending on the type of pool. Repairing an inground pool ranges from $350 to $2,700, depending on the extent of the repairs needed. Repairs to an above-ground pool usually cost $100 to $700. The most common repairs include patching or replacing the vinyl pool liner, fixing plumbing or electrical lines, and repairing pumps, filters, and other equipment.

Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.

From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
