Why should I choose Gordo's Pool City instead of buying a pool online?

Since 1956, Gordo's Pool City has helped Central Valley families choose the right pool, not just sell one. When you visit our showroom, you'll receive expert guidance, see products in person, compare options, and have a local team ready to support you long after the sale.

How long has Gordo's Pool City been in business?

Gordo's Pool City has proudly served Modesto and the Central Valley since 1956. For nearly 70 years, we've helped generations of families with Doughboy pools, replacement liners, pool equipment, water testing, pool service, and expert advice.

Our showroom is located at 6167 Yosemite Blvd., Modesto, CA 95357, serving homeowners throughout Modesto, Riverbank, Oakdale, Escalon, Ripon, Manteca, Turlock, Ceres, Salida, Tracy, Stockton, Lodi, Merced, and the Central Valley.

What makes Gordo's different from a big-box store?

We don't simply sell products, we help solve problems. Whether you're choosing a new pool, replacing equipment, or balancing water chemistry, you'll receive personalized recommendations based on your specific pool, not generic advice.

Are you an Authorized Doughboy Dealer?

Yes. Gordo's Pool City is an Authorized Doughboy Dealer, offering genuine Doughboy above-ground pools, replacement liners, accessories, and manufacturer-backed warranties.

Can you repair pool equipment?

Yes. We repair and replace pumps, filters, heaters, plumbing components, salt systems, and automation, and we stock the brands we service so most repairs are handled quickly.

Why does my pool keep turning green?

Green water is usually caused by algae growth, poor circulation, low sanitizer, or imbalanced water chemistry. Bring in a water sample and we'll diagnose the cause and prescribe the right treatment plan.

American-Made Heritage

A Doughboy Pool Is An American Story We're Honored and Proud To Sell It Here.

The Doughboy story begins with Domain Industries, a company whose packing-machinery operation first earned worldwide recognition during World War I for perfecting the rubber sealing techniques used to package food rations for American soldiers, nicknamed the "Doughboys." In 1947 the company rebranded that operation as the Doughboy Plastics Division and entered the world of outdoor family entertainment. What began with inflatable splasher pools, beach balls, and backyard toys grew into America's leading source of high-quality above-ground pools, recessed pools, and lap pools. Doughboy is proud to enrich the backyard living market with American-made products, sold through authorized dealers like Gordo's Pool City, while supporting American jobs, American engineering, and American manufacturing. Pioneering product designs, state-of-the-art production methods, and a family-oriented philosophy run through every Doughboy pool we put in a Central Valley backyard.

Authorized Doughboy Dealer, Gordo's Pool City Inc.

American-Made Manufacturing

Doughboy controls its own steel, its own resin, and its own virgin-vinyl liners, engineered and produced in the United States, not shipped in a container.

A Staunch Commitment To Safety & Quality

Heavier-gauge copper-bearing steel, ICC-ES evaluated components, and warranty backing that imports simply cannot match.

Friendly, Responsive Service

Family-owned at the factory, family-owned at the showroom. The same values that have kept Doughboy customers happy for decades keep ours coming back since 1956.

That commitment is why you'll find happy Doughboy customers all over the country who have enjoyed their pools for many years, even decades. In the Central Valley, those customers start at Gordo's Pool City.

A Question Worth Asking

What are most Central Valley families actually getting for their backyard dollar in 2026?

New in-ground builds in our area are quoting $120,000 to $150,000, and the higher-end designs are going well past that. Before a family signs a build contract, the better question is usually a smaller one: what does it actually take to be swimming this summer, with a pool that's built to last, backed locally, and easy to live with?

Think about it this way

When you picture next summer in your backyard, are you picturing a year-long construction project, or your family already in the water?
If the same backyard goal can be reached in 1–3 days of install instead of 6–12 months of build, what would that be worth to you?
And if you want that in-ground look, did you know a Doughboy Hydrosphere drops at least 24 inches into the ground, and many Doughboy models can be installed semi-inground for a finished, integrated backyard at a fraction of an in-ground build?

No pressure, no quote pitch. We help families think through size, shape, frame, and warranty before a single dollar is spent, the same way we have since 1956.

A fraction of an in-ground build

Complete Doughboy packages, pool, liner, pump, filter, skimmer, come in well under what a new in-ground build runs in Modesto, Turlock, and Stockton, without compromising on American-made quality.

Swimming in days, not seasons

Most Central Valley installs run 1–3 days once the site is level. You skip the permitting drag, the heavy equipment in the yard, and the missed summer.

The in-ground look, without the in-ground price

The Hydrosphere semi-inground and several Palm Shore installs can be set into the ground for that finished, built-in feel, at a fraction of an excavated build.

Backed by the people who sold it

Buy from Gordo's and the 5-Year Premier non-prorated warranty activates on the full package. Plus the same showroom, same shop, same service team, for the next 20+ years.
