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

"For anyone who is looking for a pool or spa contractor in San Diego, I can't recommend Danny Smith at California Custom Pools highly enough. In the winter of 2023, I hired Danny to remodel the exterior of my pre-existing spa, which was custom-built by another company. It is nearly impossible to find a competent contractor to fix or complete another contractor's job that was done incorrectly or resulted in significant problems, so when Danny and his crew took on the difficult job of remodeling my spa, I knew I was fortunate. My existing spa was surrounded by a wooden deck that was warped and disintegrating, and I had searched for more than a year to find someone to help me with this project. Because I didn't know what the was underneath the deck, it was a challenge for any contractor to bid on this job. Prior to finding Danny, multiple contractors and carpenters quoted me prices between 15-30K given that the possible solutions were contingent upon may unknown factors. However, Danny was able to thoroughly assess the possibilities on location by looking closely at the existing deck and consulting with his crew. He then provided me with several viable options that were within my budget and in less than a month, we agreed on a plan and schedule the demo. In 5 days (including the weekend in-between) the wooden deck was gone and replaced with scored, colored concrete. I was blown away! No delays, no unreturned phone calls, no excuses. Just complete follow-through. And after the job was completed, the crew came back to clean up the rocks and dust from the concrete truck, which I really appreciated. I was finally able to enjoy my spa, which continues to look beautiful, blends with my entire backyard, and is easy to maintain. Overall, I highly recommend Danny Smith with California Custom Pools. who is professional, great to work with, honest, and dependable. His tile/cement crew are skilled in their craft, always arrived on time, and consistently walked me through the process while answering my questions. What really makes Danny and his crew stand out is their design creativity combined with a commitment to details and follow-through. I've worked with a lot of contractors over the years as a homeowner, and it was refreshing to have a positive experience from start to finish. Thank you for everything Danny!"

FAQs for swimming pool in ground build or installation projects in Palm Desert, 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.
