California Swimming Pool Contractors

California has many quality swimming pool contractors which provide everything from very simple pools to elaborate custom pools and spas that have everything imaginable.



Swimming pools are very popular amongst California homeowners and for good reason. Home swimming pools provide good family fun and recreation without every leaving the comfort of your own home.

With the moderate climate, swimming pools for California are usable for most of the year. At the very least, we can say that California has an extended swimming pool season when compared to other parts of the country.



California swimming pool contractors offer some of the finest quality inground pools available anywhere in the world. Fortunately, the swimming pool builders of California are tightly regulated by the California State Contractors Board. It is always best to choose a licensed pool contractor for building in pools and spas. For that matter, anytime you're doing a home improvement it is a good idea to use a licensed contractor. Using a licensed pool contractor for California usually means that you'll avoid problems associated with "fly by night" companies and any issues that you might encounter during construction will normally be resolved by a properly licensed pool contractor.



Most pool builders can help you with complete backyard pool design and planning, your pool contractor can usually help with everything else related to your backyard design including concrete decks and walkways, firepits, bar b ques, patio covers and more. Usually it is less expensive to contract for the pool portion separately from the pool decking, landscaping, etc. While this does mean you will work with a couple of contractors, it also means you could save substantially as you'll be getting "direct" pricing for your additional work. Some California pool contractors have well developed programs which allow you to easliy combine their swimming pool design and pool planning to incorporate the additional items by others. Some pool contractors and pool builders will allow you to work directly with their associates for the concrete work and landscaping for the pool area. This means you don't have to go looking on your own for every part of your project. Many homeowners seem to already have concrete masons and landscapers for their work and if this is the case for you then you only need a cooperative pool builder that will work with you on the overall project. Most of the time, if your pool design is planned properly the work will proceed smoothly and you'll end up with a beautiful new backyard swimming pool that will give you years of enjoyment.



Your pool contractor should take time with you to discuss the specifications desired for your new pool. Basic items will normally always be included, such as the pump and filter. Just be sure that they are big enough to adequately filter your pool. Too small a filter will mean that it needs to be cleaned often. Too small a pump will mean it needs to run longer, thus costing you more in electrical consumption.

Automatic pool cleaners are usually included when building with a pool contractor. Other items are not necessarily included but you may be interested in automatic color changing lights, remote control systems, salt purification systems, waterfeatures, etc. If budget concerns are an issue, some items can be added later so you should inquire to your pool builder as to what can be added later and which items must be installed during the initial pool construction phase.



Whether you're looking for a simple pool or spectacular custom designer pool, proper pool planning and design are the first steps.
