Considering constructing a new pool, remodeling your existing one, or creating an entire outdoor entertainment hub for family and friends to enjoy? Now is the time to start! Huntington Beach temperatures are mild, chances of rain have passed, and doing so will add value to your existing home.

Choosing the Right Contractor

There is quite a bit of planning that goes into a pool project, beginning with selecting the right contractor. It’s important for homeowners to complete their due diligence by reviewing the contractor’s history with the Contractors State License Board. They should also be sure to ask:

  • How long has the contractor has been in business?
  • Is the business owner involved and on-site throughout the project?
  • How easy is it to reach the contractor?
  • Does the owner himself offer the initial consultation or use salespersons whose goals are to get the contract signed immediately?
  • What is the quality of equipment used, and is there a warranty?
  • Does the contractor remove demolition and excavation materials same day or store the debris on the property?
  • Is the contractor truly local and experienced with the City’s building requirements and permitting process?
  • Is the contractor knowledgeable, willing to answer questions, and explain the process from start to finish?
  • What is the contractor’s experience with local water tables?

Homeowners should also be sure to review the business’ website and consider whether the contractor is someone who is easy to get along with. Be sure to ask for both recent and long-term referrals (8-10 years back) to understand the longevity and quality of their build.

Once you choose your contractor, planning and designs move forward to permits, demolition, excavation, scheduling, materials… the process can vary with completion times from 6 weeks to 2-3 months (depending on the extent of the scope of work). Werth Builders does more than just build pools and spas. Our services also can include waterfalls, BBQs and firepits, turf and hardscapes, patios/pavilions, outdoor kitchens and outdoor showers.

What About Coastal Soils and Water Tables?

Huntington Beach is known for having high water tables, which can go unseen at the surface. There are several factors that can affect a coastal community’s water table, including types of surfaces, topography, drainage systems, underground water flow, rising sea level, the tide, even the moon. It is critical to hire a contractor with experience and expertise in the handling and mitigation of water table encounters. Not only does Werth Builders have that experience and expertise, but we also have specialized equipment, tools, and crews to stabilize and monitor the situation so we can safely and securely continue with the project.
