"Had three different pool companies come to give me quotes, California Custom Pools is the only one that returned the quote in 24 hours. They did a fantastic job resurfacing my pool from plaster to pebble tech. The job was completed in a timely manner. We could not be happier and excited to start swimming again."

"The inspector came out, took a look at the property and I described our concerns. He was good in describing what the problems could be and also helped to calm some other concerns we had. 
After looking at the inside of the house, he went underneath the house to inspect the foundation. He took a few pictures that he showed me, and gave me an honest assessment of what was needed. 
He recommended house bolting, since the building was originally built in the 20s, but we're putting that project on hold for now.

"We contacted Steve through Angie List because we wanted to give our old 80 style pool a much needed and quot;faceliftand quot;. Unfortunately, to finances a full remodel is not an option at this time so we wanted to do the best we could with the limited funds we had available. We contact several pool contractors and Steve at OC Pool Technicians was the only one who seemed to undertsand our budget and needs. He came out for a consultation and told my husband the possibilities and his recomendations of how to spend our $1000 max budget. Our primary concerns were the staining and discoloration of our white pool plaster, tile, and grout. We also had a missing pool drain cover. Steve told my husband that once the acid bath was done the plaster would be white again and the discoloration and stain would be gone that he could clean up the tile and grout and that he could replace the drain cover and replace the spa light all within our budget. It took about a week to get a written estimate and after careful consideration we decided to move forward. It took about another week to schedule the start of the work. it started with draining the pool which took a couple days, then the repair of plaster on the step, then the acid bath which took a day, then the sanding, then to our surprise with a couple of days from starting the job, he was filling the pool back up. It's here we run into all the complaints...the pool plaster was not all white after he did his job, you could visibly see the same discoloration and while the staining was better it was not by any means gone as he'd promised. We contacted Steve and he responded that that was best it would get and that to him it looked beautiful. Well that's great but to me it looks the same and I'm the paying customer. So we pushed the issue and continued to express disappointment. Then came the excuses...he had one for everything we weren't pleased with...the first excuse... was too old to do any more treatments or sanding and that if we wanted more we would have to sign a waiver releasing him of any libaility or damage to the pool. Feeling very disouraged and not pleased which we communicated to Steve we had him finish the work on the spa light and filled in the pool. Our only request was that he make the tile and grout sparkle to hopefully at least give the pool the illusion of being updated. He said he came out and worked on it several times but it not nuch better either--definitely not how I expected/he promised it to be. When we communicated how unhappy we were with the tile/grout outcome we got excuse number two..now it was it too old and simply needed to be replaced. WOW! Really! we already new that and we're not pool contractors. the experiance and outcome was less than diserable and while there is an improvement in the appearance of the pool its absoluely not what we were lead to believe it would be. It's. About 60% better than it was to start. Absolutely not $1000 better. Of course, he wanted to be paid along the way for the process and upon completion. He offered no discount for the service even though we weren't happy with the outcome. In my opinion he found out how much money we had to spend, told us what we wanted to hear, and made promises to get our business but couldn't ever deliver what he promised to. I've had lots of great experiences with Angie's List contractors this just wasn't one of them.

"I've used United States Pools (Palm Desert a.k.a. Pool Spa America) since 2008 for repair work and routine service of a large in-ground spa (gunnite and plaster).
  Repair work included helping resolve a horrible mess with a pool controller manufacturer who would not honor their warranty but we got it repaired under warranty.  They've replaced a broken light fixture, repaired broken conduit, cleaned filter, and incidentals  Their prices for these were reasonable and quality fine.  There were more delays than I'd like but none of these items were urgent.  Their quote for tile cleaning was excessive so I did not hire them for this. 
  I also used them for more than a year to do weekly cleaning/service and was not satisfied with this.  They did not use correct chemicals, despite my protests and frequent algae growth.
  My grades average the good and bad.  I recommend highly for repairs and low for routine service.

"Their work ethic is a Aplus! They were probably late to start working a couple of times but made up the time and stayed later to advance on the kitchen. They definitely did work early in the mornings and sometimes they wouldn't work, but only because they have inspection to pass. I like the fact that they passed inspections, only once was it a minor little detail that the inspector brought to they attention but he let it be done while he was there and inspection passed. Demo was probably tough on them, the stucco was a bit old and strong. But after that the foundation happened and everything happened so fast(stages) my addition seemed to be a lot bigger than I thought it would be but I am definitely happy with the end work. They did not do finishes because I have family members that helped but as far as construction I was impressed with the quality and the fact that I have warranty made me a happy camper. Thanks to the team and office staff that checked up about twice a week!

my wife was nagging me for the last couple of years  to upgrade the kitchen's look so that was my initial job

we had a very pleasant  meeting with tnl's manager meir.

we went over our needs and wants and the budget of course

the kitchen was very old (about 16 years) we a couple of idea's to keep it white and clean , and meir suggested to add some color accents and a different style for the kitchen cabinets.

we loved the ideas , and my wife had to ask meir about our master bathroom , he came out with a great idea for it with a small budget.

we had another meeting going through the details and the job started a week later.

the work was done to our satisfaction , the employees were extremely nice , cleaning all the daily building materials

along the way we decided to go with LED lights (saves money and good for the environment ) 

we picked new cabinets for the kitchen with meir's referral so we got a great deal on that and we were able to give the kitchen a bit more storage space because of the smart storage system we choose.

we installed gfci outlets that we didn't had before, new appliances (stainless steel) ,ceramic counter tops and ceramic tile for the flooring.

the color for accents was light mocha.

the master bathroom was repainted with almond cream' color, the faucets were replaced , new shower curtain and accessories installed.

new switches and laminated wood was installed on the floor.

the rest of the house was painted Navaho white, we replaced most of the switches and outlets to newer ones.

meir's team did a wonderful job and we even got it completed couple of days before.

our place looks great and feels like the house we always wanted , we already recommended TNL construction to our friend.

project ended 8/8/2014

FAQs for swimming pool in ground build or installation projects in Cathedral City, CA

Yes, it is possible to build an above-ground infinity or zero-edge pool by raising the deck and surrounding poolscape to create a continuous water edge. This design produces a zero-edge effect when the pool structure is properly elevated. However, additional work to adjust the deck and haul extra dirt can increase labor and land preparation costs.

An infinity pool incurs higher expenses than a regular pool because its specialized design and engineered features demand extra materials and precise construction methods. The design modifications required for a true endless edge raise the overall cost by 20% to 50%. This increase reflects additional structural planning, enhanced finishes, and superior craftsmanship.

An infinity pool is designed with at least one edge over which water flows, creating the appearance of a vanishing edge that seamlessly merges with the surrounding landscape or horizon. The pool has an exposed wall that is slightly lower than the water level, allowing water to spill over into a catch basin below, where it is recirculated back into the pool.

Infinity pool construction requires a significant and defined time commitment. Concrete installations are completed within three to six months, vinyl projects within four to eight weeks, and fiberglass pool installations within two to four weeks. The overall timeline depends on the design complexity and the skill level of the contractor, with challenging conditions extending the project duration.

Infinity pools require additional maintenance compared to regular pools because their unique design requires constant water level monitoring to preserve the continuous overflow effect. The catch basin must be diligently cleaned to prevent debris accumulation, and the maintenance routine varies with pool materials—concrete surfaces need extra care to prevent algae growth, while fiberglass and vinyl demand less upkeep.
