WESTMINSTER POOL BUILDERS
Custom Pool Builders Serving Westminster Since 1994
Westminster is the heart of the largest Vietnamese-American community outside of Vietnam. Population doubled in the 1960s and most of the housing stock was built that decade — about half the city's homes are 1940s-60s vintage, mostly tract single-family on 5,500 to 7,500 square foot lots. Backyard pool construction here is two markets: new builds for homes that never had a pool, and replacement / full rebuild for original 1960s pools at end of useful life.
Werth Builders has been working Westminster since 1994. We design with the multigenerational gathering culture of the city in mind — covered patios, big-table seating, outdoor cooking integration. We engineer for Newport-Inglewood Fault adjacency, the Coastal Plain alluvial soils with shallow groundwater, and the 200A panel upgrades 1960s-era homes typically need. We pull every City of Westminster permit.

WHY HOMEOWNERS HIRE US IN WESTMINSTER
We Know Westminster Backyards
Building in Westminster means understanding the soils, permitting, and climate of this specific city. Here is how that experience shows up on every project.
Designed for Multigenerational Backyards
Westminster homes routinely host large multigenerational gatherings. We design pools paired with covered patios, banquette outdoor dining, high-BTU wok stations, seafood prep with deep sinks, and water or koi features when feng shui considerations are part of the brief.
Engineered for Westminster Soils
The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone runs adjacent to Westminster (the same zone that produced the 1933 Long Beach quake), and Coastal Plain alluvial soils with shallow groundwater can liquefy in seismic events. We engineer pool shells with deeper rebar schedules, dewatering during excavation, and hydrostatic relief.
Designed for 1960s Tract Lot Sizes
Most Westminster lots are 5,500 to 7,500 square feet. We commonly build geometric pools 12x24 to 14x28 with attached spas, leaving generous space for covered outdoor cooking and multigenerational dining. Tighter side-yard access often requires crane lifts or conveyor pumps for the build.
200A Panel Upgrades Included
Original 1960s Westminster homes typically have 100A or 125A electrical service — not enough for modern pool equipment plus a full outdoor kitchen plus EV charging. We coordinate the 200A panel upgrade as part of the pool build, not as a surprise add-on.

POOL BUILDER FAQs
Common Questions About Building Pools in Westminster
Most Westminster custom pool projects fall between $85,000 and $180,000 for entry-to-mid builds, depending on size, finish, water features, decking, and equipment. Full backyard packages with outdoor kitchens commonly run $130,000-$280,000.
Yes. Any pool over 24 inches deep, or with electrical, plumbing, or gas, requires a City of Westminster Building Division permit. California Health & Safety Code §§115920 et seq. (Swimming Pool Safety Act) requires at least 2 of 7 approved drowning-prevention safety features for new pools.
Most of Westminster sits on Coastal Plain alluvial sediments — sandy loams over silts, silty clays, and silty sands. Shallow groundwater is regionally documented; the Newport-Inglewood Fault is adjacent. Buildable, but engineering matters — shells need proper rebar, dewatering during excavation, and hydrostatic relief.
No — Westminster is overwhelmingly tract-built rather than HOA-master-planned. Most neighborhoods are non-HOA, which means City permitting is the only review.
Most Westminster custom pools take 10-16 weeks on site, plus 4-6 weeks of design and permitting before we break ground.
On most original 1960s Westminster homes with FPE or Zinsco panels at 100-125A service, yes. A 200A panel upgrade typically runs $2,500-$5,000 and supports a full pool, outdoor kitchen, EV charging, and modern lighting.
Yes — and most of our Westminster projects include design for it. Covered patios with banquette seating, high-BTU wok stations, seafood prep with deep sinks, accessible spa entries for older family members, and water features when feng shui is part of the brief. We design around how the space actually gets used.
Yes. Werth Builders is a fully licensed California pool contractor (CSLB #777-575, B-1 General + C-53 Swimming Pool), bonded, and insured for general liability and workers' compensation.
