Welcome to California Poolside

Voted one of Oceanside California's top pool builders/contractors.

Mark Sidway

Pool Builder / Contractor in Oceanside CA

Hey, I'm Mark Sidway! And I really, really love a good pool. Hopefully, you do too. When I was growing up, I always wondered why pools came in just two shapes—rectangles and ovals. I mean, we couldn't do better than that?

Yeah, if you just want to take a dip on a hot day, all you need is some water. But does a big concrete box look nice in your back yard? Not really. A swimming pool is a massive investment—a great pool boosts the appearance of your home, while an ugly pool makes you dread looking at your back yard.

That's why I founded California Poolside.

For 15 years, I've scoured the land far and wide to find the most dedicated pool people on planet Earth. The folks here at California Poolside just love pools, period. My team's Number One priority is helping you avoid the frustrations of working with most other pool builders—inflated costs, amateur construction, horrible design, and a total lack of people skills. Our customers just love working with us, and that's why one guy referred to as Pool Gods.

Well, forget divine intervention. Our swimming pools are real, and they're looking for a home—your home. Stop dreaming, stop wondering, stop debating. Get in touch with us right now, and let's get to work.

Concerned about the California drought? Pools actually SAVE water over grass!

“Wow, you guys really tore my yard a new one. In a good way, of course. Literally can't remember the last time we used the back yard, but with that sexy new beast of a pool you guys gave us, we can't get enough."

Melissa Swasey

San Diego California

“My husband and I didn't need anything too fancy, just a nice place to relax and read in peace and quiet. You all didn't try to sell us on the fancy bells and whistles. Just gave us exactly what we wanted."

Mitch Miller

La Jolla California

“Kids complained we didn't take them to the water park enough. Called California Poolside. Now the wife complains they're in the pool too much...and so am I. My wife isn't happy, but I sure am :) A+++++++”

No, friend. It's because we treat our customers the best. We meet deadlines. We keep promises. We build what you want, not what we think you want. And we're all super friendly, to boot.

As long as it takes.

The bottom line is that we want to build something that we can both be proud of. We work surprisingly fast, but different projects will take different amounts of time depending on its size and scope.

That said, we've completed projects in as little as a few weeks. After we come up with our the final design we always map out the construction process, which will give you a very solid idea on the time frame we're working with.
