Benefits of Custom Pool Construction
Timing and design matter when you’re investing in a major backyard addition. Here’s why homeowners across Shasta County choose custom pool construction and what makes it worth doing right from the start.
Complete Control Over Your Backyard Vision
A custom-built pool means every detail reflects your lifestyle, from the shape and depth to the finishes and features you'll use most. You're not settling for a pre-made design or inheriting someone else's choices.
Working directly with our team, you'll create a pool that fits your property, matches your home's style, and delivers exactly what you want in your outdoor space.
Built for Your Property and Local Climate
Custom construction accounts for your property's unique conditions, including soil composition, lot slope, and the demands of Northern California's intense summer heat.
We design pools that handle triple-digit temperatures, integrate seamlessly with your yard's layout, and use materials proven to last season after season.
Your pool isn't just dropped into place. It's engineered specifically for your property and built to perform year after year.
Quality You Can See and Feel Every Day
When you build custom, you choose the quality of every component, from the pool shell and plumbing to the deck surface and equipment. There are no shortcuts, no hidden defects, and no surprises five years down the road.
You work with a licensed contractor who uses proven techniques, quality materials, and skilled craftsmanship. The result is a pool that looks better, functions reliably, and adds real value to your home.
A Pool That Grows With Your Family
Custom design means thinking ahead about how you'll use your pool over time. Families with young kids might want shallow play areas and safety features. Empty nesters may prioritize relaxation, seating, and low-maintenance finishes.
Custom construction lets you plan for the long term, creating a space you'll enjoy for decades, not just the first summer.
Our Pool Construction Process
Surface Preparation
We thoroughly wash, decontaminate, and clay bar your vehicle to remove all bonded contaminants and residues that could interfere with coating adhesion.
Paint Correction
We perform necessary paint correction to eliminate swirls, scratches, and oxidation before coating application. Borophene enhances and preserves whatever surface condition exists, so we ensure perfection first.
Borophene Application
We apply NanoPro® Borophene in controlled conditions using precise techniques that ensure even coverage and proper chemical bonding. The single-layer application creates a permanent molecular bond with your clear coat.
Curing and Inspection
After application, the coating cures to form its permanent protective layer. We inspect every panel under proper lighting to verify complete coverage, perfect gloss, and proper water behavior before delivery.

Our Borophene Application Process
Building a pool involves multiple trades, inspections, and stages. Here’s how ABC Pools manages your project from start to finish.
01
Survey & Design
We evaluate your property layout, measure for access and grading, and discuss your goals for size, shape, and features. You’ll receive a detailed estimate and timeline before any work begins.
02
Excavation & Framework
Our crew digs the pool shell, installs steel rebar reinforcement, and sets up plumbing and electrical lines. All underground work is inspected before we move to the next phase.
03
Gunite Application & Curing
We apply the gunite shell in one continuous pour to ensure structural integrity. The shell cures for several days while we prepare for tile, coping, and decking installation.
04
Finishing & Startup
We install tile, coping, and decking, then fill the pool and balance the water chemistry. Your equipment is tested, and we walk you through operation and basic maintenance before handing over your new pool.
