San Diego Custom Pool Contractor for Gunite Designs and Remodels
When it comes to buying a swimming pool in San Diego, local homeowners have trusted the Blue Haven name for decades.
Thousands of San Diegans have turned to the familiar “diving lady” symbol for building or renovating their family an attractive, high-tech outdoor retreat.
Our idyllic So Cal climate makes enjoying a beautiful outdoor space possible nearly year-round. From Chula Vista to Carlsbad and El Cajon to Point Loma, the varied terrain of many backyards provides a perfect backdrop for a distinctive inground pool & spa, complementary decking, landscaping, and other great amenities.
Maximizing water and energy savings on your San Diego pool
Along with an impressive new or remodeled pool that enhances your home’s exterior, you may have other concerns when it comes to pool ownership.
For many Californians, responsible use of natural resources and protecting the environment is part of our way of life. And in San Diego, most homeowners would like to minimize their water use and SDG&E bills.
With this in mind, Blue Haven places special emphasis on using water- and energy-efficient pool technology.
Our full line of eco-friendly equipment includes automated controls and vibrant LED pool lighting. We can also help you ditch energy-gobbling one-speed pool pumps for energy-wise variable-speed models.
For pool heaters, we use only California-approved low-NOx models that boast high ratings for thermal efficiency.
In some cases, an electric heat pump or solar-energy pool heating system may be an ideal choice for economically maintaining a comfortable pool & spa environment year-round.
For pools we build, you can also include our exclusive circulation system that helps cut the number of daily hours that your pool pump and heater will need to operate.
The other precious local resource we want to use wisely is water. Toward this goal, we use only cartridge filters on our pools. Along with requiring only one or two cleanings per pool season, a cartridge-type filter does not require water-intensive backwashing.
Mother Nature—as well as your family’s eyes, skin, and lungs—will also appreciate our water-sanitizing system. Instead of harsh chlorine—and the noxious fumes and byproducts it can produce—you can opt for pool water that relies on gentle, effective ozonation.
Tanning Ledge Leisure
For greater family fun, comfort, and convenience, ask about including this popular feature—also known as a sun shelf or Baja bench—in your pool design.
Pool construction experience that makes a difference
Our highly experienced San Diego team will develop a comprehensive pool plan for a new custom build or remodel of your aging one.
Our goal is the same as yours: Make the most of your outdoor setting.
Our crews are also accustomed to addressing any special building conditions.
For example:
Is your home perched on a canyon with a great view?
We can help take advantage of the topography with a mesmerizing infinity-edge pool that visually merges with the horizon.
Or, we might elevate the gunite spa so you have a better sightline to the scenery while relaxing in warm swirling water.
Have a slope or hill on your property?
A raised retaining wall that integrates with the pool structure (called pool bond beam) might be a superb solution that’s both functional and stylish.
Or, that slope can help serve as a foundation for a massive rock waterfall that takes center stage on your pool’s layout.
Looking to build a liquid playground on a tight lot?
Blue Haven experts can design a small backyard pool, a large custom “spa only,” or a compact, hybrid “spool” that delivers some of the benefits of both a pool and spa.
In some cases, we can locate a pool in a side yard or even a large, private front yard.
Pool Remodel Professionals
Did you know that it takes more expertise to successfully renovate an existing pool than it does to build a new one?
So, it’s imperative to have a pool contractor with specific, proven experience in bringing new life to aging pools.
Our in-house remodeling veterans can develop a strategic plan to usher your outdated pool into a whole new era of beauty, efficiency, and convenience.
Imagine a fresh, completely renewed aquatic playground with updates such as new tile and coping and a fresh coat of colored interior finish. New decking may be on the agenda as well
During a pool remodel, there are additions you may not have known are possible. For example, you can add various kinds of water features, a tanning ledge, and even a relaxing hydrotherapy spa.
Along with a comprehensive style makeover that brings new beauty to your backyard, you’ll be thrilled with new water- and energy-saving pool equipment that we install.
Choose your custom San Diego pool builder with confidence
With thousands of pools built across San Diego County, you can rely on the Blue Haven name for your aquatic project.
Our local team even boasts a unique advantage within the U.S. network of Blue Haven offices: They can easily draw on corporate resources from Blue Haven’s national management headquarters, located nearby in downtown San Diego.
We also do our best to help pool buyers obtain loans for their project. Ask about our network of financing sources for pool loans (oac). For certain payment phases on your new pool, we even accept Visa and MasterCard.

What is the process for building a gunite pool? (concrete / shotcrete)
Gunite pool construction involves multiple phases. After planning and designing the pool, these steps typically include: permitting, layout, excavation, steel installation, plumbing, electric, gunite application, installation of tile and coping, deck installation, plaster/interior finish, and start-up.
The sequence here may vary based on local building codes and practices, as well as if the project contains any specialized custom design features.
