I had tiles missing from my pool due to the vibrations from my neighbor's pool removal and could not find any replacement tile as my pool is over 30 years old. Despite ordering from 3-4 tile companies to find suitable matches, I had no luck. Mark went out to Livermore and was able to match the EXACT tile because someone had sold them from a pool demolition, and so he replaced my tiles seamlessly. I'd recommend him because he went the extra mile. read more

Mark is amazing to work with. He helped repair pool tiles that had fallen off and painted around a couple of lion-head fountains to blend the color perfectly. It's tough to find someone willing to take on smaller projects, but Mark gladly did at a reasonable price. I'll definitely be contacting him for future repairs and referring him to others. I highly recommend Mark for any small pool repairs. read more

Spa and pool tiles were loose and missing grout and in bad need of maintenance. Called Mark, sent a few pics, he gave me an estimate and I made an appointment. Mark knows what he is doing and did an outstanding job fixing my tiles and replacing the old and missing grout. He's a really nice guy too. I highly recommend him! read more

Mark fixed my pool leak with extreme care and concern. He visited my house three times, first he brought me a pump to drain my pool which I thought that it was a wonderful idea. The other 2 visits were for taking care of the leak. Moreover he noticed a missing small tile in the pool and he installed one without additional charge. He did his job very carefully and meticulously. I strongly recommend Mr Mark Smith and I have no doubt that you will love his work as much as I did. Bravo Mark. read more

We have a small pool and spa that was installed 5 or so years ago. The wall between the spa and the pool would constantly have loose tiles. This became a constant issue every time anyone was in the pool and spa. Finally after trying the original pool installer to fix the tiles and some home remedies I contacted Mark. He gave me a clear view that he could permanently fix the problem. Mark did just that, he has fixed the problem. I waited several months on this review to ensure it was true, and I can say it is, it is fixed. I now look forward to using the pool his summer with no worries that broken tiles will be an issue for my friends or family. read more

Mark repaired cracks in my Stone Pool Coping today, and it came out fantastic. He's very knowledgeable and has honed his craft to perfection. He was on time and finished the job in a timely manner. I'll use him again and advise everyone to give him a call. read more

A piece of the rock structure, hanging over our swimming pool, suddenly broke and the iron frame became visible. We also noticed that there were other cracks appearing around it and around the concrete pool deck. I am so glad I found Mark on Yelp. He deserves every bit of the glowing reviews he is getting here. Right from the time I contacted Mark with the issue, he patiently understood the situation, confirmed when he would come to review the situation and gave a $$ estimate to fix it. Over the next few weeks Mark came to our place several times to fix all the issues, match the color, let the cement dry, evaluate and continue to fix all the cracks. He communicated through text messages regarding when he will come, was always on time and explained to me what/how he is fixing the issue. Mark is a thorough professional. He did an amazing job in preserving our pool structure. I will be hiring him again to fix my pool tiles. Don't look any further. If you have a pool or concrete issues, hire Mark. You will be glad you did. 10 star review for Mark. read more

I just can not believe what happened... I'm speechless. I called this company to get a quote for repairing my pool plaster. The guy on the phone was super rude. He basically said "not worth it" to fix a pool, "take a shovel and put dirt inside". Then he told me to call someone else and hung up. I honestly thought it was a joke or maybe I have accidentally dialed the wrong number. I have checked the number I have dialed and it belongs to the company... When I am reading the other reviews, I can not believe they are describing the same person! He is "Honest" all right...or maybe lazy, but definitely super rude. You can say things in a professional manner, no need to be rude and disrespectful. I replastered my pool 25 years ago and it lasted 25 years with memories and a great family time... It's worth it to me to get another 25 out of it before I use a shovel. read more

We are so thankful we found Mark! He was responsive, very knowledgeable, kind and professional. He repaired our spa and told us to let it dry while the spa is drained overnight. Unfortunately our usual pool maintenance person came right after and turned the water back on! The work was ruined so we had to call Mark back. He was extremely gracious and understanding, and came back the next day to do the repair again. Very highly recommended! read more

I have an old pool. It missed a few tiles, it had loose/fallen rocks, and it had leaks around the spa. After checking on Yelp and others, I called Almaden Pool Tile Repair.

Great guy! read more

Mark from Almaden Pool Tile Repair came to our home twice; first time to do an assessment and provide a quote and second time to perform the work. He was very honest and forthright in his assessment of the work that needed to be done and gave us referrals for work that was outside his scope (pool expansion joint replacement). Mark came on time the day we had set up for him to do the work and completed the repairs to the pool copings in just one day.

We were referred by our realtor. We were in the process of selling our house, and our pool looked really bad. Several tiles had fallen off in the pool, and there were cracks in the deck and the brick surrounding the pool. Mark fixed all the problems, and our pool looked great. We sold the house on schedule. Mark also repaired a brick wall in our front yard. Part of the brick wall had fallen over, and there were cracks in the brick. Best part is Mark was able to match the tile in our pool exactly!

Actually, I found Mark through YELP. I was searching for pool tile repair contractors. Most pool businesses do not seem to like "small" jobs. Mine was on the smaller side, but it needed an experienced contractor. Mark fit the bill perfectly. He has the experience and knowledge to do this repair properly and he is flexible for your needs. Several (~30) tiles on one side of my pool had fallen off because of cracks/deterioration in the coping. Mark has a multi-step process to address this. His prices are reasonable; particularly considering his lifetime warranty. He was very easy to work with. He communicated well when schedule changes were necessary, was respectful, and cleaned up well after his work. Now that this job is complete I appreciate his knowledge, experience, skills, and good customer relations. A very good choice if you have pool tile repair needs.  I am totally satisfied. read more

Just called Mark and while he doesn't do what I need, he went out of his way to understand the issue and even made two recommendations (as well as guidance on the project itself).
