Why Choose Refined Pools as Your Orange County Pool Builder?

Providing our Orange County homeowners with the benefits that matter most.

When we say Owner managed we mean it. From design and estimate to the project completion every single one of our clients work directly with our Owners.


Starting from your initial consultation and throughout your project construction, our owners are on-site working and communicating with you to make sure your project is everything you want it to be.

Owner Managed Projects

We understand the pain points of working with contractors and getting estimates for home renovation projects. Just like many of our customers we too have to deal with the stress and frustration of our own personal home projects.


Because we've experienced this ourselves and understand the importance of providing honest estimates to our clients, our entire team works together to make sure we provide our customers with an accurate, line by line estimate from day one. No hidden fees, no "unforeseen" change orders, just an honest estimate that matches your wants, needs, and your budget.

Upfront & Honest Pricing

We're a small family owned and operated company and that's the way we want to keep it. Why? Because it gives us so much more control and the ability to provide our customer with a superior product and customer experience.


By implementing this strategy we not only are able to provide a better service, but we're also able to provide it much quicker and with better quality than the other builders and contractors in our area.

What Our Orange County Clients Love About Refined Pools.

Because Great Customer Service and Building Relationships Matter Most to Us!

Favorite part of the process was working directly with the Owner. Levi is a true professional and made the pool construction process so much fun and stress free. I really felt like we were one of his family members with the level of customer service he provided.

I know I can be a complicated person to work with and I really put it to Levi to get my pool done before Spring and he really executed. I think I am most impressed with the dedication to his craft, company, and customers. 5 stars is a no brainer.

How Much Does it Cost to Build a New Pool in Orange, CA?

The cost of building an inground swimming pool in Orange County can greatly vary, depending on factors such as size, included features, engineering requirements, among others. As a guideline, homeowners in Orange County looking to build a new swimming pool should anticipate costs ranging from $85,000 to $250,000. While this is just a starting range, most high-end projects associated with OC typically start closer to the $150,000 mark and go up well past $300,000.


This price range provides a ballpark estimate for what residents in Orange County and nearby regions should budget for when planning a new inground swimming pool. It's essential to remember, however, that actual costs could be notably lower or significantly higher, depending on the specifics of the project.


Caution should be exercised when contractors provide quotes significantly below the average, as this could potentially signal compromises in the quality of workmanship and materials used.

Additionally, it's not unusual for project costs to exceed the $500,000 mark, especially when complex designs and high-end features are included. It's thus recommended to have an in-depth discussion with a professional designer about your desired features to ensure your complete project aligns with your budget.


To understand the cost components involved in building your dream pool in Orange County, we strongly advise conducting comprehensive research and obtaining multiple estimates. This strategy will equip you with a robust knowledge base to make well-informed decisions throughout your pool construction journey.

How Long Does it Take to Build a Pool in Orange County?

With a standard pool and spa only project, homeowners in Orange County can expect their new pool construction project to span approximately 8 to 12 weeks. Factoring in the complexity of the project and the inclusion of extra features such as outdoor kitchens and landscaping, the average pool construction typically falls within a 2 to 4-month timeframe from digging to completion.


It's important to note that these estimates do not include the time necessary to secure the required permits and approvals to start construction. Homeowners in Orange County, and throughout the county, should be ready for this step to take a substantial amount of time.


What was once a swift, over-the-counter approval process has evolved into a potentially extended and demanding experience, sometimes taking up to a year to obtain fully approved permissions.

More commonly, permits are issued within a 1 to 2-month period. However, based on the complexity of your project, additional patience and allowance for extra time may be necessary.
