"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!"

"I have a 36K gallon black bottom pool in a wooded area. Over the past 30 years, I’ve hired several different people/companies to service the pool. I even did it myself for a few years. I fired the last service company because the pool was chronically filled with algae (which the company – unfortunately for them – said was my fault). My neighbor recommended Mike. The pool was a mess when he arrived. The chemistry was off, the water looked like a pond, and my kids (and, embarrassingly, their friends) refused to swim. Mike swiftly rehabilitated my pool and maintained it clean and inviting over the hot summer. We now swim almost every day. I’ve never found anyone as good as Mike. Not only does he know the ins and outs of pool maintenance, he’s personable, easy to contact and consult, direct in his communication, and responsive. He’s the best."

"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!"

"David's performance on the pool build was excellent. Technically, he knows his stuff. He was quick to respond, and navigated county paperwork (which was considerable) to a successful conclusion. We also had considerable hardscaping done around the pool - I cannot recommend this. The lead person, not David, was frustrating."

"Class Act - Wonderful experience !!! I n an attempt to remodel my 1973, vintage pool , I sought out 4 pool companies who sent out their sales staff. THEY basically told me what they thought I needed, rather than listening to what I WANTED. I ultimately contacted home advisors who referred me to, MATT , the owner.of of M V DREAM POOLS, a second generation family-owned pool company. Working with MATT was extremely different from the previous pool companies . In fact working with him was an amazing experience and a true joy. He always arrived with a smile, was hard working , very positive , listened to my needs, helped me with decision making, yet did not try to upsell , and his pricing was very fair, He was very professional yet down-to-earth and most importantly, I very quickly grew to trust him which is not common for me, these days. In addition the various crew members who took part in this remodel we're great individuals who certainly knew their craft!! I met and liked every single one if those hard working professionals . Kudos and a big thank you to MV dream pools for a job greatly executed and much appreciated. Ps instead of choosing white Plaster, I went with a deep stormy sea gray pool plaster and blue with grey tile. The water looks absolutely gorgeous."

Pool Construction and Installation FAQs, answered by experts

When planning for land survey costs, you should consider the following elements as major contributors to the overall cost:

  • Size of your property in terms of acres or square feet

  • Complexity of the terrain in terms of hills, elevation changes, rocks, water, and other features

  • Type of survey you need (boundary survey, topographic survey, or a combination of survey types)

  • Distance traveled for the professional surveyor

Land surveying can help give clear guidance on your property boundaries for numerous situations. And in some cases, having your land surveyed is a requirement. Some common reasons to have your land surveyed include:

  • Planning for construction projects, like building a fence

  • Locating utilities, such as plumbing fixtures

  • Settling property line disputes 

  • Creating subdivisions 

  • Meeting mortgage requirements

  • Selling your property

Grading complexity, debris removal volume, equipment, labor, and permits determine expense levels.

If a buyer pays for a survey, the surveyor they hired will only provide results to them. It’s up to the buyer whether they share the survey results with the seller or not, even if they ultimately walk away from the deal. It’s considered good faith to share the results with the seller, though, especially if you back out of the deal, as the seller can then provide that survey to future interested parties.

New constructions, renovations, and interior layouts benefit from expert drafting.
