"We were referred to LAR Construction & Remodeling by a family friend and we contacted Gili, scheduled a meeting and provided him the vision of what we wanted to have and to also know how much we can spend. Gili came back with his laptop and with a 3D design of the pool including all the hardscape that by far surpassed all of our hopes and his proposal estimate was also within our budget (which means that he listened to us and understood our needs very good). Gili even made some modifications to the placement of the pool which maximized the space of the backyard. Gili estimated the remodeling project as a 3 months project (on a daily basis). We believed that it will take much longer because the type of the pool that needed a cut into the hillside, hardscape, sprinklers and more and more... But surly enough, they were done with the project a little bit longer than the 3 months. We do recommend Gili and all his team to anyone who is looking to design and build a pool. Gili helped us picking out all the colors for the stones around the pool."

"They did an excellent job. The only issue was that after starting to chip away at the old plaster, they called me and told me that my pool had been replastered before. Therefore it had 2 layers of old plaster. That meant more work to chip it all the way down to the gunite. That would cost $1,500 more! I had chosen PPP because of their low bid and good reviews on Angie's List. I was very upset. Jorge said that he could replaster without stripping down to the the gunite. I told him that other companies specified in their estimate and quot;strip down to the guniteand quot;. He agreed to drop the surcharge to $1,200.
Notwithstanding this, PPP were still cheaper and did a superb job.
My recommendation to others is to make the contractor be very specific as to his assumptions and state what are the incremental costs if these assumptions turn out to be incorrect.Jorge is a very pleasant man who is a pleasure to deal with.

"I never give a 100% review to any company because nothing and no one is ever perfect but in this case I would go so far as to give 97%. The end result was great and they made my pool look brand new. 100% kudos to the worker who gingerly cut away from the tiles I wanted to keep. His attention to detail was amazing and he did most of it on his belly, on the hottest day of the summer. In hindsight I feel guilty and should have just gutted the entire thing and chosen new tile. I apologize to them for my fool hearty choice. That said it was a job beautifully done. I decided to add a safety handle by the steps into the pool, since our friends are getting older and need something to hold onto while entering and exiting the pool. Completion of this took longer than hoped for, presumably due to unavailability, but once received and installed it was done well. The team worked well together and I think they did a reasonable job with daily clean up. Other than the safety bar installation, the job was completed in a timely fashion and the project manager, James, was a good and timely communicator, something very important in my opinion. We waited too long to address this resurfacing job and considering that we didn’t commit until late in the pool season, mid summer, we were pleased that the job was done relatively fast so we still got some swim time in. Looking forward to summer 2025 to reap the reward of the teams hard work. I would not hesitate to hire James and his team again. If you hire them I hope you have the same good experience."

"I purchased my home a few years ago. The home had an existing pool with a leak and required some cosmetic work. Pablo and his team assisted in locating the leak and repaired it. Once the leak issue was resolved I decided to give the pool a different look. Pablo and team returned and did a phenomenal job. He built a beautiful retaining wall with two waterfalls, LED lights and a pool side fire pit. It could be happier for the type of service I received. The pool looks great and the water looks amazing. Thank you South Bay Pools."

"So much can go wrong or get delayed with such a job, but not in the hands of Elkabetz! The various crews worked tirelessly and seamlessly on an ambitious 7 weeks schedule to complete this big project in time for me to move in. And I couldn't be happier. From planning to execution to follow-up, communication during the whole process and thereafter, everything was top-notch, 100% reliable, and additionally, really pleasant. Adam and team are very professional, transparent, always responsive, and delightful. I can highly recommend this contractor."

"I have done a lot of work in my house and I have dealt with different contractors in the past, but this time I found a real gem. Liroy of the Royalty Builders took care of the renovation of our additional family room, electrical re-wiring of the entire house, installation of our vinyl floors, relocation of the tank-less water heater, and the creation of a walkway that could accommodate handicaps in a span of 9 weeks. Liroy treated us like a family yet he exudes professionalism and utmost dedication. Whenever problems arise during the construction, he was flexible to deal with them and patient enough to accommodate our needs and requests as well. He was present in all the aspects of the renovation projects and attends all the meetings as much as he can, and being punctual at that! What I specifically like about him is his transparency in everything he does by always updating us on the progress of the work they’re doing. He truly understands the goal of our project and helped us with the functionality even on a budget. As it comes with his professionalism is his keenness to cleanliness. He made sure that his staff removed the debris and dirt at the end of every workday. Most importantly, I am very pleased with the quality of his workmanship. He truly delivers! I would not hesitate to refer or recommend him to everyone I know as I want them to experience as well the satisfaction my family and I had with his work!"

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

Installing a lap pool at home offers you the convenience of exercising whenever you like without needing to travel to a gym. It's a great way to stay fit while saving time and money. Plus, lap pools take up less space than traditional pools, use less water and energy, and typically cost less to install and maintain. It's an excellent investment if you value health and convenience.

To install a lap pool in your backyard, you'll need to consider the type of pool you want. For a traditional 40-by-8-foot lap pool, plan for at least 50-by-10 feet to allow room for decking. If you're considering an endless pool, you'll only need about 15-by-8 feet. Don't forget to account for other outdoor features you might have or want, like a swing set, shed, or garden. Planning your space carefully ensures you get the most enjoyment from your backyard.

A 40-foot lap pool is a great size for most homeowners. It provides enough length for a good workout while fitting comfortably in many backyards. Of course, the ideal size for your lap pool depends on your available space and budget. Consider talking with a professional pool builder to determine the best size and design for your needs.

Lap pools can be a worthwhile investment if you plan to use them regularly for exercise. If you enjoy swimming laps but prefer the convenience of staying at home, a lap pool might be perfect for you.

Keep in mind that lap pools are longer than average pools, typically around 40 feet, so you'll need adequate space in your backyard. While adding a lap pool can increase your home's value by about 7%, factors like the materials used and maintenance can affect the ROI. Also, potential buyers with young children or those wanting a traditional pool might not find a lap pool as appealing.

Fall is the best time to buy a lap pool. During this season, pool installation companies often offer special deals and savings to fill their schedules as business slows down. By purchasing your lap pool in the fall, you can take advantage of lower costs and ensure quality installation before the next swimming season.

To maintain your lap pool, regularly check the water level and add or drain water as needed. Test and balance the chemical levels to keep the water safe and clean. Inspect the tiles and surfaces for any damage, and promptly remove debris with a skimmer. Regularly vacuum the pool and clean the filter to ensure everything runs smoothly and your water stays crystal clear.
