Customers say: Quick response

Our history begins with value.\nIn 1954, we opened the doors of our Los Angeles office and began building pools for Southern California families. We had a simple philosophy: build every pool with the finest craftsmanship, respecting our customer�s money and property as if it were our own. \n\nCalifornia families loved our approach. By 1975 we were the state�s premier builder of residential pools. In 1976 we opened our Stockton office � the first of six locations in Northern California. \n\nToday, Swan Pools is California�s leader in residential swimming pools. We have never changed our founding philosophy. But now, we can offer our customer something more - the backing of a secure, successful group of companies, with a 50-year track record and over 50,000 projects completed.\n \n \nBeyond the water is the oasis.\nWe�ve always understood that the pool is just a detail of a bigger picture. Above and around the water is a living environment. It�s a place where families come to find joy, exhilaration, tranquility and the pleasure of company, a private oasis. \n\nToday, Swan Pools creates complete backyard environments, with the pool as a centerpiece. We begin with the lives of our customers, their hopes and dreams, needs and passions. Then we design and build flexible, elegant spaces that enhance their worlds.\n \n \nFrom the intimate to the majestic:\nSwan Pools customers live in compact urban spaces and on sprawling acreages. Their homes are built on hills, on rocks and on beaches. Just as no two families are alike, neither are their properties. Every Swan Pools environment is a unique creation, reflecting the spirit of the owner and the spirit of the land.\n \n \nOur promise has been unchanged since 1954.\nSwan has always, and will always provide our customers with uncompromised quality at the best possible value. For us, quality means longevity, efficiency, performance, craftsmanship and beauty. Value includes both the purchase price and the cost of long-term maintenance. Armed with the industry�s leading long-term warranty and quality assurance program backs our promise.\n \n \nLet Swan Pools create an environment that will bring years of family entertainment�without leaving your home!\n

"We worked with Ali (sales manager) and Tony (project manager), who took the time to design a project that made sense for our property and our budget, made a number of suggestions and recommendations and were never pushy or tried to "sell" us on something. The crew really went above and beyond to provide top quality workmanship and overall we were in very good hands. Highly recommended!"

"This job was to renovate my home in preparation to sell it in early March. It consisted of a kitchen and 3 bathroom upgrade, flooring and lighting fixture replacement, painting and removal of 3 popcorn ceilings. Beginning the second week of January, the entire job was completed within 6 weeks. When first hired, the principal of Palm Construction carefully tuned in to my specific needs and targeted timeframe, offering succinct suggestions respects colors, style and quality of products used. Specialists in each trade worked cohesively with each other, as well as alongside other contractors that I had personally hired separately for windows and pool replaster. Although I had intended to live in the property during the renovation, I quickly realized that my occupancy was impeding progress, so I made the decision to vacate the premises. This was especially important during the removal of popcorn ceilings which contained asbestos. The work moved seamlessly from the removal of kitchen counters, sink, cabinet doors, appliances and flooring to the demolition of 3 bathrooms. Timely mutual decisions were made about fixtures, mirrors, flooring, sinks, vanities, paint and hardware, allowing the job to progress steadily to reach very precise goals. Along the way, it was determined that the air ducts needed replacing and AC would be a welcome addition to the total job. These issues were discussed and explained clearly and quoted at a reasonable cost - so I decided to add the change orders. Although I had never been involved with a home renovation in the past, I was very impressed with the patience and care taken to communicate with me throughout the entire job. I was a demanding customer with an expectation of perfectionism and Palm Construction was up for the challenge. Beyond the scope of the original job, Palm went above and beyond with finishing touches and little extras here and there. They've come back to help me even after completion of the job, when I needed some additional retrofits for my appliance installation, which was not even part of the original job. I know that I can count on Palm Construction to be responsive and willing for anything that may come up in the future. I learned that they are a GC that you can totally trust and rely on. In summary, I am in awe of the completed work. My friends and neighbors are astonished with the transformation of my home. The end product is flawless and most impressive. My realtor has already offered Palm Construction opportunities for other jobs. My neighbors have asked for their contact information to get quotes. I highly recommend Palm Construction for your renovation work, whether it is a large or small job. During the 6 weeks of this job, I got to know the principal, Guy Yaakov, and his team. Despite the complexities of the job and the incidental issues that came up, the personal follow-through and attention paid to all questions and requests were taken care of expeditiously and professionally. I couldn't be happier, plus, I made a friend. Thanks, Guy!!!!"

"As a widow, who once had a wonderful husband to manage this type of project, I thought it would be difficult for me to plan and execute. I found the team at Royal Pools to be most helpful, especially Tami who kept me informed each step of the way. Overall, it was a great experience."

Pool Construction and Installation questions, answered by experts

Surveys completed by licensed surveyors can be recorded with a local surveying records office, and in most cases, they will be. Filing survey reports categorize them as legal documents, and they can be used whenever legal documentation of your property’s boundaries is needed. While you’re not required to file survey documents, it’s a good idea to do so. 

The longest part of building a custom home is the design phase. It takes multiple professionals and a ton of work to bring your vision for your dream home to life while sticking to a homebuilding budget and also ensuring everything is built to code. Expect the design phase for a custom home build to take six months to a year.

If you can’t find any records online, you’ll need to contact your county clerk’s office to do further research. They should have property records on file, or can at least point you in the right direction of who to contact. You can also speak with your neighbors about when their houses were built because they were likely built around the same time.

To hire a land surveyor, you need to start by searching online for reputable professionals in your area. Here are a few steps to take when making a shortlist:

  • Browse land surveyor service website

  • Check credentials

  • Read customer reviews

  • Find their contact information

  • Call or email to inquire about more information

  • Ask how far they travel, if you’re some distance away

  • Find out how they charge for their services

  • Ask about schedule and turnaround times

  • Repeat these steps for one to two other services and compare pricing

Depending on the type of land survey, the report will mark the boundaries of your property, the topographical changes of the landscape, as well as major natural and added structures to the plot. A more detailed survey, like an as-built survey, will note the measurements of the structures and landscape following major construction. A topographic survey will also help your contractor determine the cost of land development projects.
