We are the most experienced pool construction team in Santa Barbara.
Design
The size, layout, slope, permitting zone and aesthetics of your property contribute to the unique challenges that stand between your vision and reality. We can help you navigate the process and you can be confident that what we propose is possible.
Value Engineer
We use the best vendors and subcontractors in the industry. We will guide you with choosing materials and equipment. Our construction team has extensive experience from building hundreds of Californian pools, where to invest, and where you can save.
Permit
Santa Barbara has a unique permitting culture that a first-time pool builder may find frustrating. However, at Pacific Pools, we know what designs are allowed under code, and likely to be approved, saving you money and time on excessive permitting revisions.
