"We recently had our pool replastered, retiled, and added some detail pieces by SBL Pool, and we couldn’t be happier with the results. From start to finish, their team was fast, efficient, and incredibly professional. They not only stuck to the schedule but also went above and beyond to make sure every detail was perfect. What really stood out was how much they cared about our satisfaction. Any questions or tweaks we had were handled quickly and with a great attitude. It's rare to find a company that delivers both top-quality craftsmanship and exceptional customer service, but SBL Pool did exactly that. Our pool looks better than ever, and we’re so glad we chose SBL Pool for the job. Highly recommended to anyone looking for reliable and talented pool professionals!"

"It went extremely well. They were fast and efficient. I was told that there was no hope for my swim-spa and that I would need to replace. They made my spa look new again!!"

"Alex was able to readily solve unexpected problems when we replastered 50 year old indoor swimming pool. Concrete pool decking had to be jackhammered in order replace deteriorating copper pipes, pool drain and skimmer needed to be repositioned. Waterfall feature had to be repaired. Visual appearance of finished job was perfect. Would give Alex ten stars if possible!"

"After 20 years our pool and equipment were in dire need of rehabilitation. Our pool pump and filter went out in the same week, and we knew it was going to be expensive, so we decided to have the pool redone at the same time it desperately needed it. We had several contractors out to give us a bid, and Sanchez pools were the most punctual, professional, and honest of all the contractors we had out to the house. Thinking I would save myself a few bucks, we gave Sanchez Pools the remodel of the pool and I decided I would piecemeal the pool equipment from Craigslist. I found and bought a new pump, filter, found a cheap installer, and thought I was all set. To keep this short-winded I'll skip the bulk of the drama that unfolded and fast forward a bit. The Craigslist effort turned into a total nightmare. I ended up paying thousands and a month later the pool equipment was still not installed or functioning properly. Granted Sanchez pools were on top of the pool remodel, they were just about done, and I still don't have functioning pool equipment. I swallowed my pride, called Sanchez Pools, and told them what I had done after not giving them the work in the first place. Rather than getting the "I told you So" Kim showed up the same day, gave me a quote to replace all the equipment (for the 2nd time in 30 days) I gave her the go-ahead, and at this point the pool is complete and the new plaster is waiting for water (not recommended) Granted, I was not on the schedule, and equipment is tough to get a hold of now for the entire construction industry. Plaster needs water soon after installation, so I made my problem Kimâ s problem. She could have taken a shot at me, and I deserved it, but instead she jumped into action. Within 48 hours all new equipment was installed, Filter, Pump motor, heater, and all the wiring/plumbing that goes with it, the pool was now filling with water, and I was the lucky guy that got to pay twice for equipment and installation. Had I just let Sanchez Pools do their thing in the first place it would have saved a ton of time, energy, headaches, and cash. The team at Sanchez Pools are thoughtful, considerate, punctual, knowledgeable, professional, reasonable, and all this in a market where you can cherry-pick your customers, charge a premium, and don't need to deal with major nightmare customers like ME. First, I would like to say thank you to Kim and the whole team at Sanchez Pools. You really went above and beyond the call of duty. We were so fortunate to have you on our job. It could have gone bad a dozen different ways, but you guys are just a class act period. My advice while scrolling through potential contractors to choose for your pool project. I've already done the legwork, had 5 bids, tried to save a few bucks by piecemealing the project, and at the end of the day, I could have had it ALL done in one single call and saved thousands. Call the folks at Sanchez Pools, and rest easy knowing you are in good hands. I would like to add that they are not friends/family, nor they did not ask me to write a review they just earned it, plain and simple."

FAQs for pool construction and installation projects in Pasadena, CA

While it is possible to put a pool on a concrete slab, it’s not recommended. This can damage the liner of your pool and creates a rough floor that’s not pleasant. Professional installers use a sand base to create a level surface and ensure that your pool floor is comfortable.

Sand is a fine material that creates a smooth bottom for your pool. Other materials, such as dirt, could contain rocks that damage your pool liner.

Pool sand is also known as mason sand. The different types include concrete sand, yellow mason and white sand.
