"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 pool construction and installation projects in La Mesa, CA
The average cost of an above-ground pool is between $1,100 and $5,700. Costs will vary depending on the type of pool you install. The low end of the price range includes a DIY kit for around $800 and goes up to about $15,000 for a custom pool with extra features like a deck and water features. Building an above-ground pool is much faster than installing an inground one. The cost tends to be much lower for an above-ground pool than for an inground pool because there’s less labor involved, especially when it comes to excavation and running plumbing and electrical lines.
Installing an inground pool costs around $55,000, on average. The typical price range is between $39,000 and $70,000, depending on the size and type of pool and accessibility of the site. This project requires an experienced pool installation contractor as the project usually involves extensive excavation, plumbing, electrical, concrete, and careful grading of the concrete or pavers around the pool.
Adding a spa to a pool is worth it if you use it enough. Adding a built-in spa to an inground pool can cost between $15,000 and $20,000, on top of installing the pool. A separate hot tub costs between $5,000 and $8,000. These prices will vary depending on the hot tub's size, type, and features. Additional costs include maintenance, electricity, and plumbing.
From start to finish, building an inground pool takes anywhere from two to four months. Factors that impact time to completion include any weather delays, material delays or shortages, scheduling conflicts, and any unforeseen challenges. The project may take most of the pool season, depending on where you live. Because of this, it’s a good idea to start getting estimates and finding a qualified pool company at least a year before your anticipated installation. Spring and summer is the busy season for pool contractors, which impacts their availability as projects are typically booked for several weeks if not months.
