Wells Pool did an excellent job installing my pool and cement patio. They worked fast and professionally. The owner Andrew communicated well and was a true pleasure to work with. He worked with me on several changes to the design and made sure the timeline was expedited and everything was finished with excellence. read more

We were exceptionally pleased with the professionalism of each person who worked on our project and give our highest recommendations to Wells Pools. We had an extremely challenging situation in the hills in Vacaville. We were taking out an existing pool from the 1980s and transforming the backyard into an adult oasis. The elevation changes between the house and the retaining wall presented unique challenges. From the first day that Joel met with us, we could see that he was intrigued about the job. He did an exceptional job designing the pool, listening to our inputs and dreams, and modifying plans until we had a design that fit everything we wanted. Working with Wells Pools was a pleasant experience from the first day until the pool was turned over to us. Each team from excavation led by Miguel, to plumbing and electrical led by Steffen, to Tommy the tile savant, Mike the Project Manager and Joel, the designer, as well as the Decking Team, Gunite and pebble crew were highly skilled professionals, easy to work with and clearly took pride in their work. They kept the construction site as clean as possible, don't get me wrong, when you tear out and build a pool, your yard is going to look like a war zone for several months. But each team did mini cleanups each day, and there were a couple days that a cleanup crew just came in and did a major overhaul of things like picking up wood, pvc and extra concrete laying around. I never saw anything like discarded water bottles or cigarette butts anywhere. We gained much needed usable patio space, where one there were steps everywhere, garden planters to soften the concrete near the house, a hot tub that we use all the time and the most incredible view of water to hills. Now we not only have the best view in our neighborhood, we also have the best pool. read more

After purchasing our new home with a completely blank slate backyard, we reached out to several different pool design companies, and after proposals and considerations went with Wells Pools. They listened to our wants needs and desires for a backyard. Adjusted the plans as we work through the process and wants committed. The process moved very expeditiously and smoothly over a eight week. Period. There were check-in along the way updates on the progress in the end results for exceeded our expectations. Thank you to the Wells Pool team for all you help, support and guidance through the process. Also to the sub contractors, who were all friendly and professional. read more

Incredible experience from the inception of design to installation. Working with Andrew, owner of Wells Pools, we were impressed with his design and architectural knowledge and experience. Andrew is a man of his word. Andrew's natural talents brought our pool vision to life exactly as we had imagined the pool to be. This is the first pool build for us and we found Andrew to have the patience of a saint, answering all of our questions etc. All of the crews for each step of this pool build provided excellent skilled craftsmanship, were consistent in service delivery, reliable and were hard workers. This has been a 12 star experience for us, from start to finish. read more

Can't recommend Wells Pools enough. From start to finish (which was about 8 weeks - including many rainy days) the process was so smooth and the results are fantastic. I love my pool and also my new landscaping by Adams, who coordinated with Andrew, one of the owners of Wells. The attention to detail by both were incredible and the cost was fair and competitive. Super pleased! read more

After receiving a cookie-cutter design with zero bells or whistles from Premier Pools, I happened to notice a Wells Pools sign in front of a home in East Sacramento, close to where we live. I researched the company and found that it's a small, local, family-owned business -- a refreshing change from the larger, more impersonal outfits. Willing to give them a try, I reached out. My wife and I soon met with the owner, Joel Wells, at our home to discuss possibilities for our small backyard. Joel was personable, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced in the challenges of designing pools for compact spaces -- especially in neighborhoods like East Sac and River Park, where he's completed several other projects. His approach was laid-back but confident, reflecting his years in the industry and deep understanding of pool construction. Throughout the design phase, Joel was collaborative and thoughtful. He offered creative suggestions to enhance the look and functionality of the pool, while remaining open to our ideas and proposed changes. When it came time to address permitting challenges -- such as getting city approval to build near overhead power lines -- Joel took care of it all, allowing us to move forward with peace of mind and a signed contract. Our project officially began on September 5, 2023, and wrapped up on November 11, 2023. In just over two months, the transformation was remarkable. The work included: * Demolition and removal of existing concrete * Removal of a large tree stump, citrus tree and lawn * Rerouting of our main water and sewer lines (which ran through the center of the yard) * Partial replacement of fencing and 3 new gates * And, of course, all phases of pool construction We completed filling the pool with water on November 11 -- 3 weeks ahead of schedule. With one exception, every subcontractor hired by Wells Pools was professional, reliable, and efficient. Unfortunately, we had two negative experiences with Ryan Aldridge, owner of Stamped Concrete Inc. While his crew's work was solid, his conduct was not -- he was unprofessional in one instance and unresponsive in another. Because of this, we wouldn't feel comfortable using or recommending his company in the future. There were times when quicker responses to our inquiries or more proactive updates on schedule changes from Joel would have been appreciated. Setting clearer expectations from the beginning about how and when these changes would be communicated might have helped prevent any frustration on both sides. While it's a minor issue in the grand scheme, it's worth mentioning -- especially for those, like us, who are new to the pool-building process. That said, our overall experience with Wells Pools has been excellent. For example, this past April we discovered a large sinkhole behind the back wall of the pool -- a result of the earlier sewer rerouting. We contacted Joel, and his crew was on-site within days to resolve the issue completely. More recently, when we had a problem with our pool solar system, Joel again stepped in, coordinating with the subcontractor and even offering to cover the service call himself if it wasn't under warranty. That kind of follow-through is rare -- and deeply appreciated. Wells Pools stands out not just for its craftsmanship, but for its integrity. When unexpected challenges arose -- like the sinkhole or issues with the pool solar system -- Wells Pools handled them promptly and professionally. It's clear that they prioritize delivering a high-quality product and truly stand behind their work. This is now our second summer enjoying the pool, and we still can't believe how beautiful it turned out. Our backyard has become a true extension of our home -- a peaceful, year-round outdoor living space we use almost daily. Wells Pools helped make that dream a reality. Thank you, Joel and the Wells Pools team! read more

Joel and Wells Pools installed our pool 11 years ago and we are still thrilled with the results. From the expert advice to answering hundreds of questions, they always had patience for us and made sure to go out of their way to make sure we would be happy with the finished product. I'm so happy with his work that I still recommend him out to anyone else considering installing a pool and I call Joel whenever I have a question about our pool or even random pool questions for others. As pool season warms up again I'm reminded of how thankful I am that we got our pool from Wells Pools. I highly recommend them! read more

We had a great experience working with Wells Pools. They were very communicative and professional, answering any and all questions immediately. The workmanship on the pool is impeccable, and done in an extremely efficient manner. We were constructing an ADU next to the pool simultaneously, and they did a wonderful job working together with the ADU contractor to time steps appropriately and streamline the overall process. I've heard horror stories about other pool companies, but we had none of these issues with Wells. We'd highly recommend them to anyone planning to install a pool! read more

Wells has been putting together some of the most creative and well executed pool designs/builds in Sacramento for a long time. Well thought out and they just work. I come across a lot of pools in my business and Wells stands out as the best in their field. read more

Would absolutely recommend Wells Pools! Great communication and excellent workmanship. Andrew had our pool built in no time.

I can't recommend this company enough. They were so professional, so efficient & had incredible workmanship. Their crews all showed up on time, worked long days & modeled the same professionalism as the pool company itself. From demo day to water in our pool was 8 weeks (including some weather delays in there), including almost 2,000sqft of concrete work and stairs. They held our hands through the entire process, adapting to our last minute change requests and modifications with ease and grace. There were no hidden or extra costs, they stayed within our budget and timeline to a T. They exceeded our expectations and I would 100% use them again and recommend them to anyone we know looking for a complete yard & pool build. read more

We had a great experience installing our pool with Wells. Andrew was easy to work with and the quality of the work is outstanding!

We could not have had a better experience with Wells. From the beginning, the customer service was top-notch and both the communication and the renderings were amazing. The process went as scheduled and was right on target for the six weeks they initially estimated. We are blown away by the before and after pictures and cannot recommend Wells enough! read more

Last night after work, I swam with my son for probably 2 hours throwing water footballs around, we lost track of time and it got dark. When we came inside he told me he had the most fun he could remember having. That made this all worth it. If you've been considering a pool, do it. We received 3 bids and decided to go with Wells Pools and I'm so happy that we did. Our neighbors had gone with other companies and it took them upwards of a year to complete. Wells Pools built us a beautiful, quality pool in 60 days. Andrew was an amazing communicator throughout the entire process. Seriously, whenever I had a question or concern, he was a text away. I highly recommend them. read more

Our pool is beautiful. It's like we have a resort in our backyard now. We worked with Andrew of Wells, one of the owners, from start to finish, and had an excellent experience . He listened to us then helped with the design ideas that met our needs, AND worked within our budget to get the pool we wanted. This company is very responsive and communicated with us almost daily to let us know what was happening next. The crews that came were experienced, friendly, efficient and did quality work. If there was a problem or we needed a change, which barely happened, they were quick to address it. The are so many moving parts when building a pool and a lot can go wrong along the way. This was never the case with Wells. Also we appreciated that high quality materials and equipment were part of the initial bid. 5 stars for sure. read more

I was very clear from the beginning that I wanted a pool that was no more than 4" at any point. A lot of the plans I envisioned changed in communicating with Joel due to pricing, space, etc, but I was always clear that I wanted it to be shallow enough that adults could stand comfortably throughout. At one point, Joel said he thought I'd be unhappy with that. I emphasized that this was about accessibility for my elderly father, and that we're not swimmers but wanted to play volleyball, maybe exercise, I wanted it to be warmer earlier in the season, etc. He tried to persuade me but I was clear on the depth. I was trying to observe the work process, but I work and don't know anything about pool construction. Finally the plasterer said "that's a really deep pool!" Sure enough, in looking back through my contract it said "up to 9 feet." I have really liked the salt water system and the swim jet, but I've been waiting (pool was done back in 2020) to see if I would eventually not feel burned by the process. I unfortunately still think they must have been charging by volume and were intent on the depth for that reason. It's that, or worse, he didn't think a single woman knew what she wanted. read more

Just got the final inspection done. We are very satisfied with Wells Pool and Dave. We started the design process with Dave, and he kept us in the loop through out the process. All the various tradesmen that were involved were very professional and gave us sense of confidence in what they were doing. The pool came out even nicer than what we had imagined. We are glad and happy we went with Wells Pool. read more

We began our pool research in the summer of 2022 and as new pool builders we wanted to make sure the decisions we made were researched based decisions. Most importantly, we wanted the builder to understand that the pool was not going to be the center of attention but was meant to compliment the backyard. When we bought our home, it was the backyard, specifically the "English Garden", that stood out. We had four builders provide designs and quotes, but only two really listened to the type of design we wanted. After discussions with all four, we narrowed our search to the one who we felt heard what we were saying. Wells Pools created the pool design we were after. We signed in December 2022 and waited for the permits to go through. The permit process changed in January 2023, so we had to wait a bit longer than originally expected. This was out of everyone's hands, just part of the process. In early March, the permit was obtained, and then the wet weather moved in. Breaking ground took place on St. Patrick's Day, and we were off to the races. Andrew communicates well, via text. Things move fast, as Andrew told us from the start. There would be days/weeks in a row where we had back-to-back-to-back work being completed. Andrew is detailed and makes sure to give you a head's up as best as possible before work is being done or delayed. Sometimes work crews must stay late or they will finish early at another job and arrive later in the day, so times are variable. Be Flexible! We have spoken to neighbors who said their pool builds took 6-9 months to complete. With Wells Pools our build was completed in 10 weeks, and we lost a few weeks because of weather. Wells has their crews scheduled efficiently. With a project of this size, there are always going to be issues. Andrew is an honest businessperson and if he says it will get taken care of, it will, in time. There were some "gray area" situations that came up during our project that Wells took care of. As many have said, Andrew will respond to all questions, no matter how many you have, which brings a sense of ease when your backyard looks like a giant mud pit. As a side note, we were very particular about how we wanted this project to turn out, we were very vocal each step of the way, so I am sure we were not the easiest clients to work with. When it comes to recommending a company for a project of this size, we like to wait until the job is done, let the emotion of the project subside and then ask ourselves, would we hire them again. We are immensely happy with our pool and spa and yes, would highly recommend Wells Pools. In fact, we have provided their information to multiple potential customers to date. As of 02/2024, one of those clients just completed their pool build with Wells. When we first met Andrew, we showed him our thoughts on the project and asked his professional opinion on how it would turn out. He laughed and said, "Come on, we don't build ugly pools.". His words hold true. read more

We finished our pool right at the beginning of Spring, and it seems like my daughter has been in it almost every day since! The solar heater was a very good call... I didn't think we'd be swimming in April, but we were, in 80 degree water even. We love our pool, and were very happy with Joel, and everyone from Wells. Any questions / concerns we had during the whole process were promptly and sufficiently addressed. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. Thanks again, Wells Pools! read more

We started doing our research on pools at the beginning of 2023. We loved Wells from the start and were crossing all fingers and toes that they fell in our budget. Boy did we luck out! The process was so easy and Andrew was fantastic to work with. They went above and beyond on so many little things that they definitely didn't need to do and it was the cherry on top for us. We would recommend them a million times over. Thank you for building us the pool of our dreams, Andrew and the whole Wells team! read more

Since our review Andrew contacted us to see if there was anything Wells could do to change our view of our experience. He agreed to consider reimbursement for expenses we incur in staining our concrete. We are investigating the possibilities, and will continue to update this post if warranted. Also, as we said previously, Wells uses some skilled professionals for their work. In particular, Johnny Smith. Johnny was and remains instrumental in our most positive experience with Wells. He is dedicated, knowledgeable and responsive. They are very lucky he's on their team! read more

From start to finish it was nothing but five star service from Wells Pools. Project started and was completed within six weeks during the COVID supply chain issues. Constant communication and understanding of what was going on and what was happening. Even when we found things that we needed to be corrected they were addressed within a timely manner. The design was spot on and we love our pool more than anything. They take great pride in their work and ensure that if they sign a contract with you and schedule your work that it will be done within the timeframe that they state. They only take on as much work as they can handle within a year which is very reassuring. You don't really realize the amount of upgrades that are you are given that comes standard with this pool company. They use quality subs and they have pride in their work, and I work for a General Contractor and I know quality when I see it. We highly recommend using Wells Pools for your next pool!!! read more

Wells Pools did our pool and backyard design and construction and we are so happy with how it turned out. The entire experience was extremely smooth from start to finish.

I wanted to take some time to write this review, as i highly recommend this company. Owning an in-ground pool has been a lifelong dream, and after some research i settled with Wells Pools in April. From the beginning Andrew was amazing. He was incredibly responsive from Day 1. So as i mentioned, we signed a contract in April, but there were some u foreseen delays through permitting with the city. This was no fault at all to Wells; as they were u foreseen and involved Transmission lines i have running across my property. Once those got resolved, things picked up quickly. They started excavation on June 26th and my pool was completed July 30th. I have colleagues who started a pool build the same time and currently are only partly completed. Wells Pools is amazing. They are fast, efficient, professional, responsive, and do some amazing work. The finished product is beautiful and i am so grateful to Andrew and his team for the above and beyond work they did. If you are looking to have a pool designed and built this is the company for you. read more

How can I state this: THEY ARE AWESOME!!!! Just passed the final inspection today. Thank you Kim, Rex, Andrew, and Brian. You made the experience incredible. The pool turned out great! For those reading this post need a reference, I wouldn't go anywhere else for a pool. Even though you may go to other pool contractors that may give you a quote for a lesser cost- you get what you paid for. The reason I went with Wells Pools than another contractor is the quality and customer service. Having a previous pool at my other home, the open lines of communication Wells Pools kept was incredible. They kept me updated on all phase of the buildout - from the dig to the final inspection. The other pool contractor I had on my first pool was a wham-bam-thank you-ma,am. When i had issues withe the pool equipment,deck, or coping I was told to contact the subcontractor or manufacturer. Not with Wells Pools. If there was a question or issues, they addressed the issue immediately. And talk about follow-up, they were on it to correct the issue. Again, thank you Kim, Rex, Andrew, and Brian. Hope the pictures help..... read more

Exceptional Pool Contractor - Transformed Our Multi-Residential Property I had the pleasure of working with Joel Wells of Wells Pools to replace an aging pool at my multi-residential property. I cannot speak highly enough about the experience. They transformed our outdated pool into a modern oasis that has received numerous compliments. I did a lot of research in advance of selecting Wells for this project. I came across several contractors who were cited with code violations or who became embroiled in litigation, mechanics liens and such. When I selected Wells Pools I was confident they would deliver a completed job without these issues and they did not disappoint. Joel Wells inspired my confidence from the very beginning. He took time to understand our requirements. His expertise was evident as we developed the plan. I included a landscape architect in the overall design process and they worked well together. Their combined talents maximized the result. Wells Pools delivered exceptional value for the money. I did not obtain other bids but I believe their pricing was competitive, considering the level of quality and their stability as a firm. The investment has already paid off in increased property value and resident satisfaction. In terms of criticisms, I would say this. (1) Sometimes they did not return calls as quickly as I would have liked. But they are very busy and I understood my project was one of several. Frankly, I was just grateful they took me on. I really don't know what I would have done otherwise. I did not feel comfortable working with anyone else. (2) Since they and their sub-contractors had other projects, there was more down time than I'd have preferred. But again, I knew I wasn't their only job so I was patient. A contractor can't stay in business building just one pool at a time and Wells Pools is in high demand. (3) Wells has strong sub-contractors they've worked with for many years that they trust. They are stable and good at their respective trades. So Wells wasn't always standing over them as much as I would have liked. That said, they got their jobs done. I recommend Wells Pools to anyone in need of a pool contractor. Thanks to their efforts, our multi-residential property now has a stunning and functional pool that has become a focal point of our community. KMF, Investment Property Owner read more
