Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"We were captivated by the witty website and featured pool projects and then Brian completely sold us on Calif Custom Pools with his willingness to make revisions to our design as we considered all the possibilities. George was a dream to work with—he managed every detail and we had excellent communication at every stage of the process. Every crew that came—from excavation to cement and tile, plumbing and electric, fencing and more—was professional, courteous and respectful. In 30 years of house projects this massive venture was our best experience. They went above and beyond as I also worked with George Sr to do some fencing and painting. I recommend them most highly!"

We are a new and upcoming business with over 20 years of experience. We are owner operated and ready to take on pools. We pride ourselves on being customer friendly and easy to get ahold of. Let us take care of your pool and or spa today.

"This is my one-year anniversary of using Ogre Dan's pool service and I couldn't be happier with the results. I used to maintain my pool myself and every year around this time I would be fighting the black and green algae. Now my pool is beautiful, clean and blue. I'm so looking forward to having the family over for swimming this year and I have Ogre Dan's service to thank. Erin, who services my pool, is always courteous, responsible and efficient. In addition, he is always careful to look after my dogs when he is on-site. He even picks up my Amazon deliveries and brings them up to the house. These guys are the best and I recommend them to anyone who wants quality pool service."

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

Standard rectangles and oval pools typically cost the least to build. Their straight lines simplify excavation, formwork, and decking, which means less labor and fewer surprise fees. Sticking with a conventional shape also speeds up permitting and keeps material waste to a minimum. If budget is your top priority, a rectangular or oval footprint delivers the best value without sacrificing swim space.

Installing a new in-ground vinyl liner costs $1,000 to $2,500 for labor and more than $4,000 once you add materials. While that may feel steep, the liner is what keeps your pool watertight and looking fresh. Expect to swap it out roughly every decade. A seasoned pool pro can recommend the right thickness and pattern, handle the tricky stretch-and-fit process, and make sure your pool is swim-ready in a day or two.

With the right upkeep, an in-ground pool is a long-term investment. Concrete shells regularly top 25 years—sometimes 50—provided you resurface them every decade. Fiberglass models often cruise past 30 years with little more than routine cleaning and balanced chemicals. Stay on top of inspections and small repairs, and your pool can outlast most backyard features, giving you decades of cannonballs and lap sessions.

In‑ground pool installation follows a defined schedule based on the pool material. Concrete pools require three to six months for full installation, vinyl pool projects complete in four to eight weeks, and fiberglass pools finish in as little as two to four weeks. These timeframes reflect rigorous planning and professional execution that guarantee quality results while keeping construction on schedule.

Following proper pool maintenance protocols ensures your pool remains in excellent condition. You must check chemical levels weekly, skim the water every day to remove debris, and vacuum the pool each week to maintain clarity. Covering the pool during the off‑season protects it from contaminants and minimizes energy costs. These proactive measures extend the lifespan of your pool and guarantee a safe, inviting swimming environment throughout the year.
