How long does a pool project take to build?

Every backyard is unique, and so is every timeline! A standard pool takes about three months, but if you're adding fire features, waterfalls, and custom details, it could take longer. Want yours ready for summer? Now's the time to start! Book your free consultation today!

What is the pool building process like?

It all starts with a call! From your first consultation to the final tile, we're with you every step of the way. Our skilled team handles everything from design, permits, and construction, so all you have to do is enjoy the backyard you've always dreamed of.

What’s involved in the design and consultation process?

Our initial consultation and design process is the time to discover what your dream pool is- we take a walk through your property to evaluate the space and discuss your vision. This is where we take the opportunity to introduce new ideas that you may not have thought of initially, that could potentially enhance your space. From there, we create a custom 3D rendering of what your space will look like once the project is completed. Not entirely what you imagined? No problem. We won’t start any construction until you’re 100% satisfied with your design.

How do I maintain my new pool and spa?

Most modern pools, including the ones that we build, come with technology that automates most of the cleaning process. We walk you through that technology during our process. We also have a simple guide on how often to clean your pool year-round..

How long have you been in business, and what licenses do you hold?

Element Pools & Spas has been in business for over 20 years, building custom pools and spas throughout Southern California, expanding into Arizona and Utah. Our California license number is #979766.

Do you handle landscaping and hardscaping as part of the project?

Yes, we can integrate patios, fire features, pergolas, outdoor kitchens, and other amenities into your backyard space to complement your new pool. Our goal is for your space to not only look good, but also be functional.

How far in advance should I book my pool project?

If you want to start swimming by summertime, the best time to start planning would be as early as fall or early winter. This is one of the less busy periods of the year for us, meaning we can easily accommodate you and allow for plenty of flexibility in case any unexpected delays come up. Or, if you have an especially big project in mind, that gives us plenty of time to build and make sure we can meet the deadline.
