Over 40,000 Families Have Trusted Alan Smith Pool Plastering Since 1981. We Always Insist On Doing Every Job Right. *No cheap substandard cements, aggregates or pigments in our pool finishes *No sub-contracted, unqualified & inexperienced plastering finishers (We only have an “A” team) *Every job is run by a team of experts and has a dedicated project manager. *No inflated pricing, all estimates come from a company price list. Quality work at a fair price. What a concept! Yes, you have dozens-maybe even hundreds of options- for resurfacing and remodeling your pool. And the question we get all the time is “why should we go with Alan Smith Pool Plastering?” To be up front with you, we’re not the cheapest contractor. We’re also not the fastest. If you are looking for fast and cheap, head down to the Home Depot or Lowe’s or call around to some of our competitors. That being said, our work is not exclusively for the rich and famous either. In fact, our typical customer has a 15,000 gallon pool, makes between $85,000-$110,000 in household income, and spends between $10,000-$20,000 with us on their pool and spa renovation.(yes several choose to upgrade and remodel their entire backyard with pavers, patio covers, masonry and outdoor lighting) In other words, we cater to people who can afford to do the job right the first time. People who want the job to outlast their lifetime, and we don’t want to save a few dollars by using cheap materials and labor instead of quality products and an experienced work force. Here’s what you really need to know. Our pool surface warranty is 10 YEARS because once we resurface your pool it is NOT coming off since we use advanced pool prepping technology that creates a high strength bond. Most of our jobs are from past customer and referrals from friends, neighbors and family-they like us enough to come back. We do a really good job & we have since 1981. We DO NOT clean pools, nor do we REPAIR Portable Hot Tubs. Call us to discuss your project.

"Second experience with Alan Smith. Left poor rating based upon on first experience with them. Honestly, was not expecting anything from them—this was a year ago. Darren L reached out to me in response to my review—incredibly blown away. He made the job right and then some! He was super communicative, responsive, followed through, and did a great job!! Darren thank you!! Was not expecting this and to get everything addressed as you did made me very happy. If you choose AS—request Darren! He’s the man!!"

We have 2 locations, in Utah and California, where we are the most awarded western US pool building company, specializing in pool installs, services, and outdoor dream spaces. We are a Genesis Certified Master Pool Builder. We use unequalled materials, 3D design for new and remodel swimming pools, and offer the best craftman ship on all of our work. Read more below on all the services we offer and contact us with any questions or to schedule a free estimate today!

"My experience with Timeless Pools was exceptional. I needed a complete refresh of my 40 year old pool and equipment. Tom and Cindy were great to work with, helped me pick materials for the coping, pebble tech, and tile, as well as pavers for the deck. Although I kept the same shape as my original pool, Tom designed a beautiful Baja shelf with umbrella holes and recommended bringing up the deep end from 9’ to 6’ (less water, less chemicals and less pool pump time). The new lighting design adds so much ambiance to the back yard at night. They did a great job answering my questions, keeping me informed every step of the way, always giving attention to the smallest details. It is very refreshing to work with people that are responsive, professional, and most importantly honest. My pool renovation was completed on schedule and they did an outstanding job! I can't say enough about this company other than I recommend them very highly!"

My company has worked in the design field for over 40 years,working in high end homes,so I know a well run company when I see one. Solomon was very helpful in fine-tuning the design features in every aspect of my rather extensive project… he was quick to understand what I was looking for and added useful input where needed.

We’ve designed and built thousands of swimming pools and landscapes for home owners throughout Southern California for over 70 years. We Create Beautiful Outdoor Spaces that You Will Love for Years to Come!

"Project manager was a general contractor not a pool person. You do not know the quality of the work until it is done then it is too late. Concrete has large dark blotches in a few places. I think it?s because concrete wasn?t mixed thoroughly leaving an inconsistent color. Looks bad. Developed a crack within the first couple of weeks and was told nothing could be done. Concrete around top of spa is crooked and inconsistent. Amateur job. My neighbor?s was done around the same time (different company) and is perfectly straight. Salesman was knowledgeable but never returned to check the job. I do not think anyone really knew what they were doing. Just kind of faking it. Do not recommend. No real upside to the job."

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.
