We absolutely love our pool done by Ultimate Pools by Fetter! Ross is by far the most knowledgeable pool contractor out there and we had quotes from 6 different contractors. Ross went above and beyond researching laws to allow us to change our backyard, that other contractors wanted myself to do. He is definitely a step a head of the game at all times. I highly recommend this company to any one thinking about building a pool. Ross was with us a 100% of the way and a phone call away at all times if needed. We will have a lifetime of memories in our backyard due to what Ross created for us.

My wife and I are very happy we went with Ultimate pools by Fetter for our pool. We talked to a couple of other companies and were impressed by Fetter because they didn’t try to talk us into anything we didn’t want. They were patient with us during our design phase as we started out wanting a spa and water feature and then changing our minds to just getting a pool. At no time did they try to talk us into into getting a particular pebble finish or plaster finish for the interior. Ross was straight forward about what he thought would work best for us and told us the pros and cons for every decision we made. He was great at explaining the process and what to expect each step of the way. Once the pool was complete, they have been great at answering all of our questions about pool chemistry too! We would definitely recommend using them to put in your pool! We went with a French Gray plaster and love the way the water color turned out.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does pool construction take in Manteca? +
A typical custom gunite pool in Manteca takes 8 to 12 weeks from permit approval to completion. Projects that include significant outdoor living elements may take longer. Fetter provides a full project timeline before work begins and communicates progress throughout.
Does Manteca’s hardpan affect construction costs? +
The duripan hardpan layer at 20 to 40 inches can require specialized excavation equipment and additional effort to break through, which can affect project costs. Fetter identifies hardpan conditions during the site assessment and includes any necessary provisions in the project estimate before work begins — so there are no surprises mid-construction.
How does Fetter handle expansive clay on Manteca’s west side? +
Expansive clay requires specific structural provisions — heavier steel reinforcement, drainage provisions to manage moisture around the shell, and sometimes engineered backfill — to prevent ground movement from cracking the pool structure over time. Fetter’s site assessment identifies whether expansive clay is present on your property and designs the structural approach accordingly.
Who issues pool construction permits in Manteca? +
Pool construction permits in Manteca are issued through San Joaquin County, not the City of Manteca. Fetter prepares engineering drawings and manages the complete permit submittal to the county, coordinating all inspections at required stages. The county process runs approximately two weeks.
Does Fetter use gunite or shotcrete in Manteca? +
Fetter builds exclusively with gunite — pneumatically applied concrete that achieves excellent structural density and can be formed to any shape. Gunite is particularly well-suited to Manteca’s soil conditions, where consistent shell strength is important given the presence of hardpan and expansive clay. Fetter does not install fiberglass or above-ground pools.
