The Transformation

Stop Dreaming. Start Swimming.

Most LA homeowners spend years staring at a sun-baked yard while their neighbors are already in the water. Here's what waiting is really costing you:

A yard you avoid instead of enjoy. Unused square footage going to waste while the property tax keeps rising.
No idea what the finished space will look like. You sign a contract, then hope.
DIY weekends that turn into months. Costing more than a pro would have.

Don't Take Our Word For It

“
The infinity edge ACE built for our hillside lot is exactly what we saw in the AI render. Friends keep asking who designed it.
Jessica & Tom R. Pacific Palisades, CA
“
We got quotes from four pool builders. ACE was not the cheapest, but they were the only ones who showed us the finished pool before we signed anything.
Marcus D. Sherman Oaks, CA
“
Permit pulled in three weeks. Excavation finished in five days. Final inspection passed first try. ACE knows what they are doing.
Rachel & Brian K. Woodland Hills, CA
“
The pool came out better than the rendering. ACE upgraded the coping at no extra cost when the original supplier had a delay. That is class.
David & Sarah M. Studio City, CA
“
Tight LA lot, every inch used. ACE designed a plunge pool that makes the yard feel twice as big. Best $60K we ever spent.
Michael T. Tarzana, CA
“
Pool, spa, fire bowls, the works. ACE handled permits, gas line, electrical inspection, even the HOA approval. Not a single headache.

FAQ

Got Questions? We Have Answers.

It depends on type, size, and finish. A plunge pool starts around $55K-$75K. A standard rectangular family pool runs $90K-$140K. A larger pool with attached spa and water features runs $150K-$220K. An infinity-edge or vanishing-edge pool starts at $200K and can run past $350K. Our calculator above gives a ballpark; an in-home consultation gives you an exact number.
Most pools take 10-18 weeks from groundbreak to first swim, depending on weather, inspections, and finish complexity. A simple plunge or rectangular pool can be 8-12 weeks. A complex infinity-edge or full-resort build can run 5-7 months. We give you a detailed week-by-week timeline before we break ground.
Yes. We pull every permit - pool permit, gas, electrical, fence-of-record, and final inspection. We coordinate with LADBS, Building & Safety, and the utility companies. You sign once, we manage the entire process.
Either - your call. Saltwater systems are gentler on skin and easier to maintain (chlorine is generated automatically from salt) but cost more upfront. Chlorine systems are simpler and cheaper. Most modern LA pools we build use saltwater. We will walk you through the trade-offs at your consultation.
For families, we recommend a 3.5-foot shallow end and a 5.5 to 6-foot deep end - deep enough for a non-diving "deep end" feel without the cost or liability of a true diving pool. Lap pools stay flat at 4 feet. Plunge pools run 4 to 5 feet. We design the depth profile during the design phase.
You upload one photo of your yard. Our AI returns a photorealistic render of your pool exactly where it will be built - your trees, your fence, your house behind it. Materials, water color, decking, all chosen by you in the 8-step quiz. Free, no email required to see the preview, no commitment.
Modern variable-speed pumps cut pool energy use by 60-80% vs old single-speed pumps. A standard LA family pool with VS pump and gas heater runs about $80-$140/month in summer, less in winter. Solar pool heating can offset gas heater cost almost entirely.
Yes. We work with HELOC partners, pool-specific construction lenders, and cash-out refinance specialists. Many homeowners use HELOC because the home value increase typically covers the build cost. We will walk you through current options at your consultation.
