Outdoor Oasis

Brooker Associates Contractors have brought value, functionality, and purpose to outdoor spaces for nearly 50 years.

            There’s no place like home when you have the extra time to enjoy it. No matter how spacious your home felt two years ago it is likely to feel smaller now that home offices and schoolwork have spread out into every square foot of the house. After an entire year of squeezing the family (and extended family members) into the confines of existing rooms, homeowners are pushing their boundaries into the backyard with the luxury of pools and spas.

            While the pandemic keeps many people at home and springtime is just around the corner, there is increased interest in creating mini outdoor resorts, particularly with the installation or restoration of pools and spas, as they are some of the best forms of exercise and entertainment.

            The dry and mild California climate positively impacts how often people can use their yards, which makes it possible to spend more than 300 days per year in the great outdoors. “Many clients have expressed to us how they feel, for the first time, they will be using their backyards,” says owner Bill Brooker. “They feel their yards have value, functionality, and purpose beyond grass and trees.” They recently built a 75-foot lap pool making dreams come true in the backyard of a former Olympic swimmer!

            Brooker Associates are masters of creating some of the most beautiful and functional construction in Orange County for almost 50 years. No matter what is being built, their mission aims at a smooth construction process from inception to planning, to pulling city permits and final approvals. Established in 1972, Brooker Associates comprises six licensed departments covering virtually anything you can build on your property: general contracting, paint, landscaping, concrete, fencing, and pools.

            As masters in the building industry, Brooker Associates stays informed on safety, city ordinances, building codes, and contracting licenses. In addition to local residential projects, they work directly with Homeowner Associations (HOA) servicing all of Orange County, the Inland Empire, and parts of Los Angeles County.  As a benefit to the community, they work with colleges and the trade industry by accepting students into their internship program within their design division, allowing students the opportunity to develop valuable hands-on experience with their design projects. Their involvement with the Building Association Industry and Landscape Contractors Association over the years has earned them numerous awards for their projects. 

            An architectural marvel with beauty and longevity is constructed brick by brick toward its full expression. To get a quote on the project you’ve been dreaming of building, call to get started. 562-267-0390.
