"Hiring Spectrum Pool & Landscape was the best decision my husband and I made for a pool builder. John Knight the architect was amazing he designed the pool and our backyard exactly how we wanted it. He knew how much this backyard meant to me and my family. He has always been hands on, constantly in contact with us, letting us know what is going on and who is coming over and what they will be working on. They have done their best to keep costs down, with never diverting from the original plans. We have been so happy with the work they did to our backyard, we hired them to redo our front yard. The project should be completely finished in about 4 weeks. Which I will then update this review with pictures. They are extremely professional, they show up when they tell you they will be thereâ ¦.and only accept money when each stage of the project is complete. I highly recommend John and Chuck Archuletta!"

"We set up a meeting with Armando, who is the owner/designer of our swimming pool to go over details of what we wanted. Armando’s vast knowledge and expertise in building pools is why we chose to go with his company, Diverse Scape Pools and Spas to build our pool. We met several times to go over details of our pool (we chose Pebble Tec finish) and any changes of anything before we submitted our plans to the city for permits (that’s needed). We love that Armando answered all our questions, explaining to us as a designer what he thinks and what we wanted and the options that are available to us. Bottom line is, we got the pool we wanted and was very satisfied with the customer service that was provided to us from the very first meeting through the completion of our pool.

The satisfaction I still get after 18 years of experience in this industry is one of the main reasons Im deciding to branch out on a more independent route. I feel like in this industry the learning and teaching is non stop. Its actual a joy being able to apply what I learned and pass it along to customers to better understand all facets of their swimming pool. Look forward to continuing on and providing a great service to fill your needs.

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Castro Valley, CA
The best reason to get a pool is because you’ll enjoy it regularly. While a swimming pool may not have a high return on investment—averaging 7%—it offers significant personal enjoyment and can enhance your lifestyle. If you love to swim and host gatherings, installing a new pool is a worthwhile investment.
A pool’s lifespan depends on the materials used and the quality of maintenance it receives. High-quality in-ground concrete or gunite pools last 50 to 100 years when maintained properly, with the requirement to resurface every 10 years. Above ground pools have a lifespan of 10 to 15 years. Fiberglass pools last 25 to 30 years, and vinyl pools remain durable for over 20 years if the liner is replaced every six to 12 years.
Building an in-ground pool takes two to three months from beginning to end. The process begins with obtaining the required permits, which takes two to six weeks, followed by a week for excavation and land preparation. Construction of the pool—including plumbing and electrical installations—takes one to two months. Each phase requires precision to ensure high-quality construction.
Fiberglass pools demand minimal maintenance, which sets them apart from other pool types. Their robust, smooth, non-porous surface actively resists algae growth. This design eliminates the need for regular resurfacing or liner replacements and reduces the frequency of chemical treatments and intensive cleanings. Consequently, homeowners benefit from lower ongoing upkeep costs and a consistently pristine pool environment.
