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"

Pool constructions and installations FAQs

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.

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.

Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.

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.
