Here at Aqua Care we specialized in new pool construction, renovation and landscaping. Our company does not provide any pool liner or install pool liners. We also do not deal with any fiberglass pools or fiberglass finish. services. We will provide our clients with our creative and best service, with any related pool and landscape projects and services. Proudly award winning.

"Working with Irit and Raul and their team was a dream. From beginning to end, they treated our pool build as if it they were doing it for themselves. They took meticulous care with our property, including making it possible for our dog and toddler to continue to safely use the yard throughout construction, and cleaning dust and debris from the site daily. Their attention to detail was evident from the very beginning, when they cleaned up permit filing errors made by our previous contractor and engineer. They provided clear and accurate estimates and cost breakdowns. Their team showed up reliably 5 days a week (and sometimes Saturday’s!) and there was visible progress made every single day— it was clear they were moving along efficiently, and when Raul walked us through nuts and bolts of the process, we saw that he was doing the highest quality of work (even the company we eventually hired to maintain the pool commented on how well it was built!). We started the pool build intending to do the landscaping at another time, but we saw quickly that Irit’s expertise would elevate the whole project, and contracted Aqua Care for landscaping as well. We have never finished a construction project on our home with such warm feelings for and full confidence in the work done by our contractors. We could recommend Aqua Care more highly!"

In-ground pool cleaning and maintaining. We have a team of professionals that can diagnose your mechanical pool needs. Guaranteed work

"Started job by installing a new check valve to fix leak. Job remains untested because pool tech never returned to start pump. Sent pool cleaner 2 days later to clean pool. He reset timer on pump which never came started. Communicated that pump restart was a failure. Left 2 urgent phone messages and 2 texts but never heard from company again."

Sanchez Pool Construction is committed to excellence every aspect of our business. We uphold a standard of integrity bound by fairness, honesty and personal responsibility. Our distinction is the quality of service we bring to our customers. Accurate knowledge of our trade combined with ability is what makes us true professionals. Above all, we are watchful of our customers interests, and make their concerns the basis of our business.

"After 20 years our pool and equipment were in dire need of rehabilitation. Our pool pump and filter went out in the same week, and we knew it was going to be expensive, so we decided to have the pool redone at the same time it desperately needed it. We had several contractors out to give us a bid, and Sanchez pools were the most punctual, professional, and honest of all the contractors we had out to the house. Thinking I would save myself a few bucks, we gave Sanchez Pools the remodel of the pool and I decided I would piecemeal the pool equipment from Craigslist. I found and bought a new pump, filter, found a cheap installer, and thought I was all set. To keep this short-winded I'll skip the bulk of the drama that unfolded and fast forward a bit. The Craigslist effort turned into a total nightmare. I ended up paying thousands and a month later the pool equipment was still not installed or functioning properly. Granted Sanchez pools were on top of the pool remodel, they were just about done, and I still don't have functioning pool equipment. I swallowed my pride, called Sanchez Pools, and told them what I had done after not giving them the work in the first place. Rather than getting the "I told you So" Kim showed up the same day, gave me a quote to replace all the equipment (for the 2nd time in 30 days) I gave her the go-ahead, and at this point the pool is complete and the new plaster is waiting for water (not recommended) Granted, I was not on the schedule, and equipment is tough to get a hold of now for the entire construction industry. Plaster needs water soon after installation, so I made my problem Kimâ s problem. She could have taken a shot at me, and I deserved it, but instead she jumped into action. Within 48 hours all new equipment was installed, Filter, Pump motor, heater, and all the wiring/plumbing that goes with it, the pool was now filling with water, and I was the lucky guy that got to pay twice for equipment and installation. Had I just let Sanchez Pools do their thing in the first place it would have saved a ton of time, energy, headaches, and cash. The team at Sanchez Pools are thoughtful, considerate, punctual, knowledgeable, professional, reasonable, and all this in a market where you can cherry-pick your customers, charge a premium, and don't need to deal with major nightmare customers like ME. First, I would like to say thank you to Kim and the whole team at Sanchez Pools. You really went above and beyond the call of duty. We were so fortunate to have you on our job. It could have gone bad a dozen different ways, but you guys are just a class act period. My advice while scrolling through potential contractors to choose for your pool project. I've already done the legwork, had 5 bids, tried to save a few bucks by piecemealing the project, and at the end of the day, I could have had it ALL done in one single call and saved thousands. Call the folks at Sanchez Pools, and rest easy knowing you are in good hands. I would like to add that they are not friends/family, nor they did not ask me to write a review they just earned it, plain and simple."

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.
