Epik Masonry & Concrete Inc.
Swimming Pool Designers & Installers in Santa Barbara
Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsJune 26, 2014
“I am a project manager for custom homes in the Santa Barbara, Montecito and Ventura County areas of California. I have worked with Shaun Laughlin, owner of Epik Masonry since 2002 on many custom homes. Epik Masonry has provided my clients with custom designed fireplaces, mantels, outdoor kitchens, BBQ's, pizza ovens, exterior stone veneer and brick, as well as driveways, walkways, fountains, steps, and walls. Projects we have done together have ranged from a few thousand to upwards of $300,000. The attention to details has been amazing no matter the size project. Shaun is always able to find materials that are unusual or unique for my architects and homeowners. I appreciate Shaun's ability to meet deadlines for each project. The foreman and employees of Epik Masonry are all wonderful to work with. I highly recommend Epik Masonry & Concrete Inc.”

California Pools

Average rating: 5 out of 5 starsApril 20, 2013
“We hired California Pools to build our pool after interviewing several other companies. Myles Steimle came to our home to discuss our ideas and what we wanted in our pool design. He was very professional and extremely knowledgable. He was a delight to work with and there was no high pressure sales involved. He always called us back when we had a question within 24 hours or on the same day. His crews were very respectful and always left the work site clean before leaving for the day. Myles helped us design our dream pool and finished on budget and ahead of schedule. I highly recommend California Pools. The entire process was truly stress free.”

Remember that these timeframes are approximate and may vary based on factors like permits, weather, and other considerations.

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

Once you find swimming pool contractors in Santa Barbara, 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 Santa Barbara 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 Santa Barbara 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?
