About Fontana Pool Builders: Pool Pros in CA
Fontana Pool Builders has spent over 15 years designing and building swimming pools across San Bernardino County and the eastern San Gabriel Valley, from Fontana and Rialto through Rancho Cucamonga, Ontario, and Upland and out to Pomona, Claremont, and Glendora.
Design is where we start on every project, because Inland Empire lots tend to be rectangular, walled, and hot, and the difference between a pool that gets used every day and one that sits looking nice is almost always a design decision made before anyone dug anything.
The ground here has opinions. Fontana sits on the Lytle Creek alluvial fan, so soil is typically sand and gravel carrying rounded river cobble, and some lots hit a layer that needs breaker work and extra haul-off. That is a real cost and we quote it as a range instead of pretending the dig is uniform.
Seismically, this is active country between the San Andreas, San Jacinto, and Cucamonga fault systems, which is one of several reasons California requires engineered steel schedules, flexible plumbing connections, and properly detailed expansion joints. Heat is the third factor: 105-degree afternoons make deck material, shade, and shallow lounging areas central to the design rather than optional extras.
Everything goes in under C-53 Swimming Pool and Spa Contractor licensing regulated by the Contractors State License Board, with licensed electrical and plumbing trades, Title 20 compliant variable-speed pumps, and the two required California Swimming Pool Safety Act features designed into the project rather than added the week before inspection.
Our service technicians hold the Certified Pool Operator credential from the Pool & Hot Tub Alliance, we are insured and bonded, and every construction, remodel, and resurfacing project carries a written workmanship warranty. Se habla espanol and the 3D design is free.

How Fontana Pool Builders works
How a job with Fontana Pool Builders runs, start to finish
Site visit first, always. We measure, look at the real condition of the work area, and ask what you are actually trying to solve — then you get an itemized free estimate in writing with materials, scope and a realistic date on it.
Once the work starts, the same crew stays on the job until it is done. We protect the surrounding area, clean up daily, and tell you the moment something under the surface changes the plan, because the alternative is a surprise invoice and nobody wants that conversation. Written workmanship warranty on every job backs the finished work.
What we will not do
We do not quote a pool job over the phone, take deposits before a written scope exists, or bid work we are not set up to do properly. If your project needs a different trade, we say so and point you at someone who does it well. Losing a job is cheaper than doing one badly in Fontana.
Where Fontana Pool Builders works and who we work with
Fontana, CA first, then the surrounding communities of the Inland Empire: San Bernardino, Ontario, Rancho Cucamonga, Pomona, Rialto, Chino, Upland, Highland and more. Each of those has its own page with local detail rather than a copy of this one.
Work splits roughly between homeowners and commercial property — offices, retail, restaurants, apartment complexes and HOA boards across the Inland Empire. Start with the Fontana services, the Fontana Pool Builders homepage, or just call (866) 931-3458.

What Fontana Customers Say
The 3D design sold us. They talked us out of a deep end and into a bigger tanning ledge with bubblers, and they were completely right. It is where everyone sits all summer.
Warned us about cobble in the dig before we signed and the excavation landed inside the range they quoted. No change orders, which is not what I expected.
Filled in the old deep end during the remodel and added a shade structure over half the deck. The pool actually gets used in August now instead of just looking nice.
They explained the two safety features the state requires up front and built them in, so final inspection took ten minutes. Pebble finish and travertine coping look great.
Variable speed pump and automation set to run overnight on the off peak rate. The August bill was noticeably lower than the year before and the water is clearer.
Skimmer was cracked and losing water. They pressure tested every line first, opened one small piece of deck, fixed it and patched back cleanly. Straight, honest work.
