Licensed. Bonded. Insured. Verifiable.
Every claim on this page is public record — check it yourself.
A swimming pool is one of the largest checks you’ll ever write to a contractor. You should not have to take anyone’s word for who they are. Here is exactly who we are, with links so you can check it yourself.
Smart buyers ask every pool builder the same four questions. Show me your license. Show me your bond. Show me your insurance. Show me an itemized estimate. This page answers all four before you have to ask. Take this list to any other builder and ask the same four questions.

Latham Grand Dealer
Neighborhood Pool Service is a Latham Grand Dealer. That is the top tier of Latham’s dealer network. Latham grants it to builders it trusts for product knowledge, skilled installs and customer care. Latham is North America’s largest maker of in-ground fiberglass pools. The Grand program is how Latham puts its name behind the local companies that install its pools.
Here is what that does for you:
- Factory-direct access to the 2026 Grand lineup — California models only. Every shell we sell is molded in-state at Latham’s Williams, CA plant. That means a short in-state haul, not a cross-country freight bill. That’s 47 California-built models in every size and shape. If a model isn’t built in California, we don’t list it.
- A warranty that stands. Latham’s limited lifetime structural warranty covers the shell. It holds when an approved installer sets the pool to Latham’s specs. A Grand Dealer is exactly that. Read Latham’s warranty terms →
- Current-year factory pricing. Our quotes come straight off Latham’s 2026 Grand dealer program. The number you see is real and current.
- One company answers to you. The same licensed local contractor who orders your shell digs the hole, sets it, plumbs it and hands you the keys. Nothing falls between trades.

The consumer protections we volunteer
California protects pool buyers — and we follow the law to the letter
Under California law (Business & Professions Code §7159), a licensed contractor may collect a down payment of no more than $1,000 or 10% of the contract price, whichever is less. So no matter the size of your project, we will never ask for more than $1,000 down. And we only bill for work after it is done. If any pool company asks you for a 20–50% deposit up front, that is a red flag. It’s also illegal.
- We bill after work is done. Progress payments follow finished phases. They never run ahead of the work.
- Final prices in writing. Estimates are itemized the way you’ll be billed. No vague allowances that grow later.
- You review and sign everything before a shovel touches dirt.
What our clients say
“The best, most detailed pool builder I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. I couldn’t be happier with my pool. My only regret is not getting more done while they were here — the quality was so good it made the rest of my house look bad by comparison!”
“Their concrete work was exceptional and the prices were incredible. I was blown away by the value they delivered and how fast they got everything done. Highly recommend.”
“I appreciate how hard the team works and how well they communicate. They always made sure we were on the same page before any changes were made. That kind of transparency made all the difference.”
Check every link on this page first. Then ask any other builder for the same four things. A licence number is only half the picture, though — the family that holds this one is the same one that shows up in your yard. When the record holds up, the next step is a free estimate — final prices in writing, and never more than $1,000 down.
