Our home turf
Proud to call Upland/High Desert home.
From the foothills of Upland to the High Desert, this corner of the Inland Empire spans dramatic landscapes and hardworking communities. Rancho Cucamonga, in particular, has grown into one of the region's most desirable cities, with mountain views and wide open skies.
Our Upland/High Desert owners live where they build, and that means every pool comes with the accountability of a neighbor who's not going anywhere, because this is home.
A pool is so much more than a pool. It adds lasting value to your home, your family, and your lifestyle. It's where summer birthdays become core memories, where the kids burn off energy after school, and where you unwind with a glass of wine as the string lights flicker on. California Pools of Upland/High Desert makes the whole process easy, from the first design sketch and free consultation to the day you dive in and start relaxing. Our local experts are here to guide you every step of the way, making the decisions straightforward, understandable, and genuinely enjoyable. When your builder lives down the street and is proud to call Upland/High Desert home, every backyard becomes a personal point of pride.

What our Upland/High Desert clients say.
“"Chose CA Pools based on their reviews on Google and Yelp! Worked with Jim. He was able to give us designs on his computer which was very helpful. I wanted a pickleball court and all landscaping completed. We couldn’t be happier. Recommend Jim and CA pools!:”
“Jim from California Pools is an amazing guy. I started my pool project back in 2023 with a different contractor that left me high and dry. I reached out to California Pools and Jim Montini stepped up to a plate. He completed my project within a few months was very informative and his follow up was amazing. His team is very professional And always comes through. I should I used California Pools from the get-go an amazing company that stands behind their product and does what’s right for the customer. If you’re looking for a pool contractor this is the person and company you need to go with without any hesitation. I will be posting pics later today as this deserves more than just a wriiten review!”
“Jim, the pool manager was very relatable and honest in his work. He worked within my budget and didn't apply pressure like some companies can. He and his team worked fast in getting the job done. One the things that stood out was Jim being fast in his communication. I appreciated that a lot because of how eager I can be when it comes to making big decisions for my house.”
