Pete's Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Richmond
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 29, 2019
“Pete is a pool masters. The design phase was all about our new pool and what we wanted. Pete was patient, creative and by far the best prepared to gather all of the information needed for a detailed proposal. He worked with us during the entire design process and never pushed us in a direction that was away from our the original thoughts of our dream pool. He made suggestions that were appropriate and explained details of the construction process to achieve a high quality pool. During construction, Pete and his subs were professional, respectful and good at cleaning up each day. Pete is there almost everyday and checks in to make sure we are on track. He also made suggestions regarding the design and as a result we made some changes that really improved our pool environment. Pete's Pools is the pool builder you use when you want "your" pool not the pool the pool company wants to sell you.”

“Patrick worked with us a complete landscape project for our new home on 2 acres, covering various areas including, landscape, hardscape, pool area, plantings, vegetable garden, fencing, and other areas. He is easy to work with, knowledgeable, thorough, and follows up. We appreciated his designs and taste, and equally appreciated his overall practical approach to our project. While he was attentive to our needs (over the course of about 2 years) we also found he billed us fairly and used his time efficiently. We would highly recommend him.”

“Riptide Construction is outstanding. From the moment I met Bob, I knew that his company was the right one for my pool remodel project. I liked the confidence and creative problem solving that Bob brought to my project. Both he and his project manager Sydney are easy to work with. They have a sense of urgency and go above and beyond when it comes to customer service. If you want a first class operation, then hire Riptide. I highly recommend them.”

The day of the Napa earthquake, my cover was underwater and he sent someone 6h away to come same day, pool my cover out and when I told him I might not have power, he sent his son with a generator. Amazing.”
Hawkins Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Richmond
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJanuary 23, 2014
“My wife & I worked with John and his team to install a new pool. Every phase of the project was enjoyable; from design to completion. The team is knowledgeable, professional, and a pleasure to work with. We were especially pleased with how well they integrated the previously improved patio (i.e. BBQ, Seating Walls, Concrete) with the new pool, decking, and walls. I've since recommended the company to my parents who had a similar experience. Their project was refurbishing a 20 year old pool. They too have raved about the team. As long as the company continues in the fashion they have, I will never use another pool company. Thank you Hawkins!”

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a Richmond pool builder. A professional can not only help with design and swimming pool construction, but also aid in appropriate maintenance once it’s complete. Whether you're at the beginning stages of planning or want to revamp your existing pool, a local pool company will be able to get you on the right track.

What exactly do custom pool builders do?


If you are planning for a new pool in Richmond, CA, a swimming pool builder will analyze your outdoor space and your aesthetic wishes to determine an appropriate design for your yard, installing it once the plan is developed and approved. Once installed, some pool companies in Richmond, CA can handle the necessary cleanings, water testing, renovations and equipment replacement or repairs for your pool or spa. If not, many can also suggest Richmond, CA swimming pool contractors or maintenance services to help with upkeep or repairs down the road.

Before hiring a swimming pool construction company to create your new Richmond, CA pool, determine how you'll be using it. Will it be for fun or for lap exercise? Will the primary users be children, adults or a mix of the two? Knowing the use can help you find Richmond pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors in Richmond, CA who share your style, research is critical. Review customer references and comments, collect at least three to four estimates to compare, meet with potential Richmond pool designers and builders in person and ensure that they are California certified service professionals and licensed with the registrar of contractors before making any final decisions. In addition, get a sense whether they plan to complete the pool installation and be done with it, or whether they seem interested in building a long-term relationship with you. Be wary of the former: it's likely a reflection on the level of quality of the pool construction they do.

Questions to ask prospective Richmond pool installation companies:


  • Can you provide me with references?
  • Are you licensed and insured? (Check liability insurance and workman's compensation.)
  • How do you charge, and what does that include?
  • Can you give me a written estimate?
  • What do your swimming pool services include?
  • What is your experience with similar projects?
  • When can this job get done?
  • What happens when the cost exceeds the budget? What about changes due to materials or labor pricing changes? What kinds of situations do you foresee that would cause extra costs?
  • What will I need to provide?
  • Are there any important considerations or concerns you foresee with this project?
