We are based right here in Berkeley and build across the area. You are dealing with a real local crew that has to live with its reputation, not a franchise routing your job to a stranger.
New build, remodel, resurface, deck, equipment, or renovation — one crew handles all of it. You are not stitching together separate contractors for a project that should be one.
When you call, we figure out what you actually want from the backyard rather than pushing a stock package, and book a free consultation.
We render your Berkeley pool in 3D so the vision is shared before a dollar of construction is committed, and you sign off on a design you can actually picture.
We itemize the whole project up front. You approve the scope and the number, and that is what we build to — surprises are not part of our process.
A licensed crew manages permits, excavation, structure, finish, deck, and equipment as one job, and walks you through the finished pool at startup.

Our Berkeley crew handles the whole backyard: custom pool builder for a brand-new build, pool makeover to modernize an older pool, pool re-plastering for a worn finish, paver pool deck to make the poolside livable, pool heater installation to run it efficiently, and backyard renovation when a pool needs a full transformation.

There is a right way and a wrong way to build a pool, and the wrong way is what gives the industry its bad name — the vanishing contractor, the surprise change order, the substituted materials. Bluehaven Pool Builders does it the right way: itemized quotes, materials you approve, a real schedule, and workmanship backed in writing. A backyard is too permanent and too expensive to trust to anything less.
Because we are rooted in the Berkeley area and build here constantly, we know the local conditions: the soil and grade challenges on certain lots, the access constraints of established yards, the permitting steps that trip up out-of-area builders. That knowledge means a smoother build, a design tuned to your actual property, and far fewer surprises once the dig begins.
A quality pool is one of the few home improvements that pays you back twice — in daily use over a long season and in lasting property appeal. But that only holds when the build is sound. We treat every Berkeley project as a long-term asset, not a quick sale, which is why we engineer it properly, finish it durably, and equip it efficiently from the start.
The first real decision in a new pool build is the shell type. Here is the honest breakdown of gunite vs. fiberglass for Berkeley homeowners.

Read more →Pool cost depends heavily on size, shape, finish, decking, and features, so there is no honest flat number — but we never leave you guessing. After a free design consultation we put an itemized estimate in front of you, so you see exactly what every element of your Berkeley pool costs before you commit. Financing-friendly options are available too. Call 510-966-0728 to start.
It depends on the scope. Fiberglass installs are faster; custom gunite builds with decking take longer. We set a realistic timeline at the design stage and walk you through each phase, so you can actually plan around your Berkeley build rather than being left in the dark.
We do, and it is free. A 3D rendering lets you picture the finished pool, deck, and features in your actual backyard before construction, so there are no surprises between the plan and the result. It is core to how we work.
New builds, remodels, resurfacing, decking, equipment upgrades, and renovations. We cover the full backyard, which means a project gets designed and built by the same crew rather than handed off. Call 510-966-0728 and tell us what you have in mind.
Book a free design consultation and we will turn your Berkeley backyard idea into a buildable, 3D-rendered, fully-priced plan — then build it, licensed and insured.
