"California Custom Pools installed an inground Freeform pool for my family and I and they knocked the project out of the park. Our experience with them was tremendous, from the initial meeting at our home to discuss our options to the final inspection. George was our project manager and Austin was our designer and these two gentlemen were amazing to do business with and excelled with customer service. They were sure to answer all of our questions and provide us with all the information that we needed. Communication throughout the process was never a problem and they were always available at any time to answer any questions or concerns or provide more details. When I contacted California Custom Pools, George and Austin were out at our home 2 days later for a meeting. 3 days later we had a design and one week later they broke ground with construction. I’m truly amazed at how fast they moved on this project. They started on August 19th and we had water in the pool on September 21st! Absolutely amazing!! Throughout the process, my wife and I had some minor issues/concerns and when we brought them to the attention of George and Austin they took care of it immediately. George also had glow in the dark pebble installed in the pool and glow in the dark sand to border the pool. Very cool feature that our kids love! I highly recommend California Custom Pools to anyone interested in their services and appreciate George and Austin for doing such an amazing job with our pool! Thank you guys."

"Every week for the past six years, LeRiche Pool & Spa has taken care of our in-ground jacuzzi. Our jacuzzi was created to look like a stone-lined cistern, so it can’t be the easiest spa to clean, but maintenance is done and when finished, the jacuzzi is sparkling clean. We have needed aging equipment parts replaced and whatever is needed is done quickly and efficiently. We are extremely pleased with Alex LeRiche and his service and recommend him highly."

"San Diego Pools is an awesome company. They just completed our pool/spa project. They were professional, trustworthy, easy to work with and excellent communicators. Their price was very competitive and included items in their basic pool cost that were "additional" with other companies. We are thrilled with the finished project. We high recommend them as a pool company!"

"We had a great experience with Southland Pools. Jim streamlined the whole pool process for us by handling everything from permits, payments, design, deadlines, equipment, expectations, construction and crew. The pool of our dreams was completed, as promised, with minimal inconvenience to our families daily routine. So glad we went with Jim!"

"Jared at Lawrence pool has been cleaning my pool for many years and I couldn’t ask for anything better. I constantly get comments about how it doesn’t smell like chemicals at all and just feels like you’re swimming in very clean water. He also is proactive to find issues with my pumps and other equipment and fix them to make sure everything is in great working condition. He communicates great and makes everything so easy."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

You'll feel the most comfortable in pool water between 78 and 82 degrees Fahrenheit. Lower temperatures are a bit brisk, while higher temperatures can lead to algae and cloudy pool water. Choose a pool heater that either runs automatically when your water dips below 78 or switch it on several hours before using the pool for the day.

When looking into fiberglass vs. concrete pools, you will notice a big price difference. A fiberglass pool costs $15,000 to $75,000, whereas a concrete pool costs $35,000 to $100,000. While concrete pools are customizable, fiberglass is faster to install and requires less maintenance. Additionally, you can expect to pay $25,000 to maintain a concrete pool over a ten-year span. On the other hand, a fiberglass pool only requires basic maintenance like testing water levels and cleaning.

If you wait until fall or winter, you might see sales on pools and pool materials, enabling you to save a good amount on this home improvement project. Sometimes pool servicing companies try to make space for next year’s inventory, or the materials are cheaper when fewer construction projects happen during colder months. 

It can take 24 to 48 hours to fill a 15,000-gallon pool with a garden hose. A hose will pump out anywhere from 4 to 12 gallons per minute, with the average hose resting somewhere between 8 to 9 gallons per minute. If you want to speed up the process, a water delivery service can fill your pool in a few hours or less.

Yes, you will need building permits for an inground pool, and your pool installation company should pull them for you. The permit filing fee will usually sit between $400 and $1,800, and it should appear on your contract or invoice. You may want to confirm with your contractor that they will pull all necessary permits. You might also need a permit for a new fence, as many municipalities have special fencing requirements for properties with pools. A fence permit costs between $50 and $500. This expense may not be included in your pool installation estimate.
