Featured Reviews for Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos

Blue Stone Construction
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsDecember 4, 2019
“Hire them. Seriously. My husband is an engineer and it goes without saying, very detail oriented. Very. Our project was large and presented a lot of challenges but Tom and his team were on it. They paid attention to details and didn't cut corners. Workers came with a clear plan each day, showed up on time and worked hard. Tom and/or his project managers were on site every day, explaining what they were doing, what challenges they saw and what changes needed to be made (and believe me, that engineer husband of mine appreciated it). Above all, they are fair, kind, accommodating, responsive and very easy to work with. We've worked with many contractors and would have them back in a heartbeat.”
California Custom Pools

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsAugust 14, 2023
“Danny and the whole California Custom Pools group was incredible. Danny worked with us on the design to meet our aesthetic and budget. There were no unexpected costs. All the workers involved in the project did great work and were respectful of our property. It was amazing how quickly things moved once we received the permit. Can’t say enough great things about California Custom Pools!”

Ultrascape Construction
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsMay 3, 2018
“Darren and Ultrascape did an AMAZING job landscaping my new home which came with a dirt lot. I am extremely pleased now 2.5 years later that I did business with Darren and his crew for 2 reasons I will further explain: First, Darren is a highly artistic designer and his work is truly breathtaking. Others had very square and boring lines and didn't know how to strike the right balance between soft and hard scapes. Darren's work creates that perfect harmony that is picturesque and visitors will greatly admire. Second, Darren's crew does excellent and HIGH QUALITY work when it comes down to structural work, irrigation, electrical, and gas lines. I am an engineer by trade and kept a close eye on the day to day work and their work truly built my confidence in their work. I can honestly say they do things the right way and don't cut any corners. And that matters. They really do sweat the details. After a couple years, I don't have any cracks or issues, knock on wood. :) . Also, Darren stands behind his work and I know if I have an issue I can call him and he'll be here to help. TO conclude, I highly recommend Darren and Ultrascape to anyone who wants beautiful and quality landscaping. If I could go back in time I'd repeat everything with Darren and team.”
Distinguished Pools
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsSeptember 18, 2012
“Distinguished Pools replaced an existing old vinyl pool with a new tile and colorscape pool; we added Hot Tub and Fire pit. Dan and his crew were great to work with and took pride in the workmanship. Dan helped create and design the pool to our needs and was on budget, on time. We use them for pool service and any problems we have had in the last two years Dan took care of immediately without question or additional cost. Amazing work, thank you!”
The Pool Doctor, Inc.
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 10, 2014
“I recently purchased a home with a pool that hadn't been upgraded or maintained since the 1990s! Don Wall (owner) came by and gave me a free consultation prior to my purchase of the home. He correctly estimated all the work that would be needed and gave me a spot on cost write up. Once I purchased the home, I hired Don to do the work. All of the contractors (there were four different groups) that came out to work were respectful, efficient and very talented. I would highly recommend Don!”
Swan Pools Southern California
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsJanuary 21, 2014
“We purchased a spa over a year ago from Swan Pools. We had a couple issues come up and they came over within a few days and fixed the problems we were having. We love our spa and have no regrets.”
Modern Yardz Inc.
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJuly 9, 2022
“The artificial grass look is perfect for my front yard (water conservation). There were no money surprises, the schedule was announced and kept, and the workers were polite and efficient. There was nominal disruption to our normal routine and none to the neighbors. In just two days, our yard was transformed! The company is a gem. I highly recommend Thomas and Modern Yardz.”
Gardner Outdoor & Pool Remodeling
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in San Marcos
Average rating: 4 out of 5 starsAugust 10, 2024
“Steve, the sales person that did our estimate was professional and seemed honest. The work was done as promised. Overall, I was pleased with Gardner Pools. My complaints are the extra fees that were charged during the work. I was warned about them in writing before hand and they came through. The extra repairs that had to be done were never explained to me and seemed very minimal. Very little product was used and it did not take very long and it was an extra $1500. They installed the new pool light, but did not wire it, which would have been another additional charge. I was very pleased when I called and spoke with Jasmine at the Orange County office. She was always very pleasant and helpful.”

  2. Fiberglass pools are also considered affordable compared to other types, with a starting cost of around $46,000.
  3. Concrete pools offer greater design flexibility and can be customized to fit various shapes and sizes, although usually more expensive than fiberglass or vinyl pools.

They can help you assess your requirements, consider various factors like pool size, shape, material, and location, and provide expert guidance to make an informed decision.

  2. Fiberglass Pool: Building a fiberglass pool usually takes around 6 to 8 weeks.
  3. Concrete (Gunite) Pool: Constructing a concrete pool takes about 6 to 10 weeks.

Remember that these timeframes are approximate and may vary based on factors like permits, weather, and other considerations. It’s best to discuss the specific timeline with your pool contractor to get a more accurate estimate. Be patient and work closely with a reputable pool builder in San Marcos to ensure a smooth and timely construction process.

If you’ve been dreaming of relaxing summer days spent poolside, it may be time to consider hiring a San Marcos 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 San Marcos, 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 San Marcos, 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 San Marcos, 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 San Marcos, 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 San Marcos pool builders who share your aesthetic.

Once you find swimming pool contractors in San Marcos, 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 San Marcos 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 San Marcos 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?
