We were sold on Pool Doctor on the spot! Don also recommended a contractor who installed a 70 feet retaining wall, concrete, artificial turf, and an outdoor kitchen . If you are having a pool installed or having any pool work done, be sure to reach out to the Pool Doctor.

I recently did a pool renovation with this company and I am happy with how my pool turned out. I…read morewill start with the positives. If you want a pebble tec product there are only two authorized installers and this company uses Sol Pacific. I liked that Don's quote was fairly priced and he didn't try to push anything I didn't need. The quote I got from Gardner was almost double and included a lot of unnecessary work. The crew mistakenly installed expired mastic around the edge of my pool and Trevor owned it and replaced it without me asking which I really appreciated. Overall I was not blown away with Don's customer service. In the planning process I was referred to one single website to pick the tile. I didn't particularly like any of their options and asked if there was another company they could refer me to and got something like "not really they all went out of business". Within 15 minutes of searching I found another pool tile company. I asked if he had heard of it and he said he could get those tiles as well. I was told all the samples would be brought before I left on vacation, but Don delivered the last sample after I left so I had pick my tile based on texted pictures so as to not hold up the project. Trevor went and purchased tile grout without asking me my color preference which I found very bizarre. They were willing to exchange it. I never got any materials showing the different pebble sheen colors so I picked my color from a brochure provided by another company. Trevor asked for the final payment the morning my finish was going in. I said the works not done yet. They said ok then just mail it. I said "aren't you going to come inspect the final product?" and got back we don't have problems with Sol Pacific. Ok great, but then why hire you if they are checking their own work and how about that mistake with the expired mastic that happened just last week? They did come back after I asked, but I was disappointed I had to ask. If you pay for their start up they would naturally come back, but I prefer my pool man to own the water and felt penalized for that.

We recently hired La Costa Custom Pools for a major pool remodel, and the entire experience…read moreexceeded our expectations. We researched a bunch of different pool companies and asked for quotes and we went with La Costa Custom Pools. The scope of work included remodeling our waterfall feature, installing a new water slide, upgrading the pool control box, adding a salt cell system, replacing all pool lights, repairing cracks and chipped concrete, and repainting the trim around both the pool and spa. From start to finish, the craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. Communication throughout the project was exceptional. We were consistently kept informed about timelines, next steps, and any adjustments. On the rare occasions when work had to pause due to rain, we received clear notice in advance. We never had to guess what was happening or when crews would arrive. Cory managed the project closely and made sure everything stayed on track. He brought in Bob, a master pool structure builder from Great X-Scapes, and along with Peri, they built an incredible waterfall and water slide that not only look amazing but are clearly built to last for years. As with any remodel, a few minor issues surfaced after completion. The trim paint began to chip due to a product issue, and there was a significant leak from an old pipe nipple in the existing pool setup. In both cases, Cory and Bill responded immediately. The entire trim was redone without hesitation, and the leak was repaired quickly and properly. That level of accountability and follow through speaks volumes. The project was originally quoted at around two months, and they completed it in just over one month without sacrificing quality. We couldn't be happier with the final result and would confidently recommend La Costa Custom Pools to anyone looking for professional, high quality pool work!

The crew were fast and efficient, very respectful of my yard and plants. They were finished in three days. I was so impressed that my pool looked brand new.

I enjoyed working with Cory because he kept me informed through the whole process and afterwards called to see if I needed anything else. That is first class service!

He gave me great tips on how to keep all my equipment running at full potential. I will be using Paul's service again for all my pool needs.

Soon I was helping all the neighbors clean their pools. As an Eagle Scout I spent my summers working at a local Boy Scout camp maintaining the pool. This was an Olympic size pool with a 12 foot deep end. It was outside in Michigan and required undoing the winterization and prepping it before we could fill it. The filters took up an entire room and needed to be serviced daily. It was a great job for a teenager. My next pool service experience was as a swimming instructor at the US Naval base Orlando, FL. Besides teaching swimming, it was my responsibility to keep the pool and gym equipment up to military standards. As a pool owner, I was dissatisfied with the lack of professionalism of some pool service providers. I decided it was time to add pool and spa service to my existing BBQ grill service company. Besides pools and spas, I also servic

Our old steps were flagstone, built in 1949, and over time were dissolving. Gary met with us at our home, and at rock and block yards, to find what we were after. We actually came up with an AI example and ran with it. At first I tried to be cheap (a can do fireman) and said I would do the demo myself. I quickly learned that the job was way beyond what I could handle. Gary's team brought in a small excavator and pulled out crazy amounts of stone and cement. Gary stopped by almost every morning, many times in the afternoons and answered my calls when things looked off to me (usually as they were not completed yet). In the end I had a small "punch list" of items I wanted to have "touched up" and Gary's team was more than accommodating. As with any contacting work, it is on the home owner to point out the issues you see and would like changed/touched up. I was pleased that Gary listened and had his team address our concerns. We get compliments for our new walkway and steps. Great job Gary and San Diego Outdoor Living Company.

Joe tested our water with the strips and told us our levels were unsafe and not to swim in it. He sold my mom some powders and told us to come back the next day to test our water again. We came back the next day and it was a different gentleman. He tested our water in a machine, took a picture of it with my phone so we would have record of the numbers and gave us more advice and told us to bring another sample tomorrow. Once again we came back with a water sample and he tested it in the machine again. He told us that the water needed liquid chlorine, but since we had been such troopers, he gave us a gallon of chlorine for free. We asked when it would be safe to go swimming again and he told us within two hours of pouring the chlorine but we could go now "If we wanted the carpet to match the drapes". I was appalled and had to explain to my mom what that meant when we got in the car. I told her we would NOT be going back. We took our water sample the next day to a different pool supply place which tested our water and we showed them the pictures of the machine at Sun Pool and Spa and he noticed that their machine wasn't working correctly because it had a orange triangle at the top in the picture.
