Common FAQs
What’s the difference between a pool contractor and a pool service?
A pool contractor is a general contractor who can design and install a pool for residential, apartment complex, and commercial uses.
A pool service maintains your pool. Many pool owners hire a pool service to take care of the routine maintenance tasks such as water chemical balances, checking and maintaining the pumps and other pool equipment, cleaning the pool, and seasonal maintenance.
The pool contractor handles pool installation from design through every step to that first dive into the water. Ground clearing, grading, excavation, materials including gravel, concrete, tile, wood, plumbing, and electrical connections, and installing pool equipment.
At Central Pacific Construction, we also streamline the permit and inspection processes, making sure all permits are in place before work starts, coordinating all of the different inspections, and working closely with code inspectors.
When you work with us, you can be assured your new pool will be perfect and ready!
Is it legal to build my own in-ground pool?
Most jurisdictions allow property owners to build their own homes, outbuildings, and swimming pools. However, doing your own construction can be very time-consuming and often frustrating.
- You need to be sure all of the permits for different phases are in place before starting.
- The heavy equipment for grading and excavating is expensive to rent, and even more costly to purchase.
- Hiring subcontractors can be confusing and take longer than you anticipated.
- Advanced knowledge of plumbing and electrical systems is essential, especially when working with electricity that is installed near water.
- Knowing how to read blueprints and design specifications is necessary so that everything is installed to the appropriate measurements.
- An understanding of the different grades of construction materials helps ensure that the right materials are used, so your pool lasts for years.
- Basic construction safety practices can help prevent injuries.
- Building codes can be very confusing, leading to delays in getting started and failed inspections.
Building your pool yourself is a tempting challenge and may seem like the budget-friendly way to go. However, delays and mistakes can result in more expenses later. Your homeowner’s insurance may have strict requirements about how a pool is installed. If not met and there’s an accident, you may not have the coverage you thought.
How long does it take to put in a swimming pool?
Installing an in-ground pool takes from 8 to 12 weeks, including planning and permits.
- Grading and excavating only take a few days.
- Installing the pool shell depends on the shell. Custom concrete pools take the longest.
- Plumbing and electrical can take a few weeks.
- Hardscaping, such as decks and patios, adds time to the project.
- Including a hot tub takes more time.
Our team at Central Pacific Construction makes sure you understand the entire process, and we give you realistic timelines. We find that the closer we work with you and the more you understand, the easier the project goes.
We stay in contact and answer your phone calls and questions as quickly and thoroughly as possible.
What does it cost to build a swimming pool?
The cost varies depending on the project. We strive to work within your budget.
Our decades of experience with a variety of construction projects have given us valuable insight into challenges and how to avoid them. Unexpected price increases or the unavailability of materials can influence cost.
We keep you informed every step of the way. If something unexpected comes up, we consult with you right away. We give you solid recommendations so you can make informed decisions.
Do I need a licensed contractor to repair my pool?
That depends on the level of repairs that are needed. If a pump fails or the jets on your hot tub are not working properly, a pool maintenance service can repair the pump or unclog the jets.
Some pool maintenance services can also repair pool linings and minor cracks to fiberglass shells.
Damage that seriously affects the structure of the pool, such as from an earthquake or that requires shell replacement, might require a contractor. Damage to the plumbing or electrical systems might require a licensed plumber or electrician.
If you have a damaged pool, call us. We can assess the damage and help you get the appropriate attention your pool needs.
Do you offer free pool estimates in Paso Robles?
Yes. We offer complimentary on-site consultations and estimates for new pools, remodels, and hot tubs in Paso Robles and nearby areas.
