Pool & Spa design and installation. DIY Pool build packages available. We cover all aspects of back yard design including hardscape and landscape.

"We bid out 6 different pool contractors. California Custom Pools made the choice easy. They did what they said they were going to do, in the time they said there were going to do it, and most importantly, for the price they quoted us. We're very happy with the finished product. Brian, George, and Danny communicated well and were professional throughout the whole process."

Firefighter owned and operated, Next Level Pool Service and Repair is the premier pool cleaning company offering residential services to our clients in the Murrieta, Temecula, Fallbrook area. We are known to pay exquisite attention to detail while making your satisfaction our number one priority.

"This is a small business. These guys are trying to further their business through word of mouth. I am extremely satisfied with their service. We tried others for years. Paid more got less. Less service, less reliability and some caused damage by using inappropriate chemicals. Now, here comes James. He knows his business 110% . Can answer all my questions to my satisfaction. He goes above and beyond to make sure you are a satisfied customer. I didn't even get to mention they have the best prices in the county that I have seen. So much more for your money. Like what you ask? Do you get photos of your crystal clean waters after the service? Detailed service reports which include chemical concentration before and after treatment including what was added and it's all sent to your email after the visit is complete. Great for record keeping purposes. Oh, one last thing, they are great with repairs. If it's something they can't fix they set you up with their colleagues who can. If you own anything pool or spa related and don't give these guys a call you aren't getting the gold standard in aquatic care. I highly recommend this company."

Pool constructions and installations FAQs

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.
