I talked to several pool contractors and received 5 bids to remodel our pool. I am so glad that we hired American Pool Plastering to completely replace the 20+ year old plaster with Pebbletec, replace all the old tiles, and also replace all of the coping for both our pool and spa. They did an amazing job on all counts! Our old pool looks brand new! Luis was very responsive and constantly making sure that everything during the planning phase, construction & follow up was to my utmost satisfaction. He also introduced me to a 3rd party contractor who specializes in pool rocks. Our large (1/2 the size of the pool) old waterfall rock was chipping and discolored. The contractor did a great job restoring our rock to "like-new" condition! Luis and team are extremely professional, courteous & do awesome work! The whole job took barely more than 1 week! I highly recommend American Pool Plastering! read more

We just completed having our pool re-plastered by American Pool Plastering. We were impressed by the way Luis explained the process, and was very straightforward. He did not try to oversell. Every person on the crew and in the office was professional, and the end result is exceptional! read more

We are replastering our pool with pebblesheen and wanted to use a certified installer - I found American's info on the PebbleTec website. I got around 5 estimates, and narrowed it down to two companies - American and one other. It was really hard to decide between the two, I ended up going with the other company, maybe because they have more reviews/have been around longer, but wanted to leave a review here for the estimate process and price. I made an estimate appointment - the soonest they had was a week away - Monty showed up on time without me having to remind the office of the appointment. The meeting was educational and efficient, and he sent a detailed estimate about everything we talked about on the same day! Their price was a little bit lower than the other company but still within the same range, so it didn't seem suspicious. One interesting thing was that both certified companies that use real pebbleTec were pretty much the same price and in one case cheaper than the companies I talked to who use NPT Stonescapes which is a similar product with a worse warranty. It things don't go well with the company we picked, I'll definitely be calling American on our next project. read more

UPDATE 12/21/21: Pool resurfacing is completed and they did an amazing job. All of my concerns have been addressed and questions answered. The process was good and Luis' team were on time daily and knocked the job out in a week. Even the final "acid wash" was so detailed that my pool guy only had to worry about the chemicals. Literally zero brushing needed although we are doing that. Highly recommend Luis & American Pool. read more

Update from review in November 2018 where I gave this Company a 5 star rating. If I could give them a 10 star rating today I would, my pool had developed a rust spot on the pebble tech finish, I called Luis and he promptly sent out Noe his pool tech. Noe cleaned the rust spot and put a patch on the tile to see if regrouting would work to take care of the problem, it started to rest again so I called Noe and he informed Luis and the office about the rust returning. About a week or so after talking to Noe he was back out and took two tiles out and fixed where the rust spot was coming from and replaced the tiles and grout. This is a company that stands behind their products and care about customer satisfaction. read more

There is nothing but professionalism and quality that comes from this company. They use real pebble when products that come out amazing and they know how to apply it properly. No discoloration whatsoever. They also did a great job re-plumbing my pool. Everything is brand new and looks fantastic. The tiles look great and we even got to use two different types to get the exact look we want. The split the drain, added new returns, put in a brand new skimmer, added a designated vacuum line, and a new led light. They company showed up on tile and worked to get the job done in 8 total working days. That includes a day to drain and a day to fill. They were very clean and everything looks amazing. I cannot thank Luis and his guys for all they did great job. read more

American Pool Plastering - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - San Fernando, California

Hired American Pool Plaster & Safety during the pandemic. Had about 4 different bids ranging in price from $7k - $30k just for pebble tech plaster. Went with American Pool Plaster because the owner Louis took his time and was down to earth. Louis and his team were awesome. We ended up doing plumbing, plaster, tile, and a large Baja shelf. Even when issue arised Louis was on top of it even after they had been paid in full. If you're looking for a solid pool contractor, go with American Pool Plastering. read more

What can I say about this company...HANDS DOWN FABULOUS!! I had over 6 bids and the minute I met Luis Marquez I knew he was going to take care of me. I'm renovating my childhood home myself (learning lots lol) and needed someone to swoop in and save me. He did just that!! He is a man of true integrity and his crew values that same philosophy. These guys worked from 8am to 1pm on the first phase, they never stopped once they were machines!! Efferin and George who laid the tile insured perfection taking out the time to lay out all the tile for the perfect pattern (pics to show) I can't thank everyone enough for making me feel so taken care of. it was a emotional journey for me with all my projects and I never worried once!! I love these guys and you will too!! Cheers to a job well done!! read more

Our 15 year old pool needed a remodel. We interviewed almost 15 pool companies (Home Advisor, Angie's List) and finally, through a NextDoor recommendation, met with Luis Marquez, the owner. We immediately connected and felt very comfortable in his expert hands, as he understood our project and within an hour of meeting, sent an estimate, which was very fair and reasonable. Luis was patient with our questions and guided us throughout! From start to finish the project took 6 days! His crew of hard working men - from the demo crew (1 day) to the skilled tile layers (2 days) to the incredible plaster crew (1 day), to the pool start up technician, everyone showed up on time, were professional, polite and cleaned up after themselves. Very respectful of our property. Wow! Our pool now looks incredible! We chose Cool Blue PebbleSheen and our tile is from NPT Tropics series in a beautiful cobalt blue! We highly recommend Luis Marquez of American Pool Plastering! read more

Called to set up an estimate. Was given a 2-hour time slot (11-1). I arranged my schedule for that day to accommodate. They called the morning of the appointment day and got my voice mail. They left a message saying that the owner was tied up on a another job and wanted to reschedule to 1-3 pm same day. I called back, said I already arranged my day, and could be available from 2:30 - 3. She said they can only do 2 hour windows. OK, so we try to make that work. Get another voice mail later in the day saying owner is still tied up on the job, and it needs his supervision. Need to reschedule to another day. Where to start??? First, is the owner the only person who can do estimates AND supervise jobs? If so, why not set aside specific days and times just for estimates. Second, I understand the 2-hour window thing, but after forcing me to reschedule, you could be more accommodating, and agree to a tighter window. Third, pool plastering is not exactly an emergency business. Did the owner not know that there was a job happening that needed his attention before making the appointment with me? From the other reviews it sounds like this company does great work on pool plastering. I'll never know, because I can't get them to come out and give me an estimate! read more

I am an every Constructors nightmare! I look for the best value AND the best price and I shop around a lot! Prior hiring this company, I had over 10 different estimates. American Pool Plastering didn't quote the best price, but they were close. However, I educated myself enough to tell apart a good sales person from a knowledgeable and experienced company representative. Luis was that person. He definitely knew what he was talking about, he took his time to explain how he will approach the job and what will I get for my money. He wasn't pushy at all but explained several options so I choose the best one for me. It is one thing to sell a product, and completely different to deliver results as promised! Just as I mentioned above, I am extremely details oriented and I was very pleased that American Pool Plastering worked the same way. They took care of all the little things that I expected, and then some. They worked very hard and the result is absolutely awesome! At the end Luis did not just come to get the check, he gave me couple of days to make I have more time to verify that ALL the work is not only to my standard, but to HIS standard of quality! Only then he came to pick up the final payment. I highly recommend American Pool Plastering based on the quality, great price, and my personal experience. read more

Great communication, process, people and they completed job exactly as agreed as well to timeline with amazing results. The work crews are pros and get right to work when they show up. Our pool plaster was in dire need of replacement as a result of prior owner not properly maintaining chemical balance for a long time. We are glad we decided to go with pebble sheen vs. replastering because the finished product is well worth the additional expense. They know pebble sheen as a result of doing it a long time and the volume of pools they do. No shortcuts taken, did everything the right way and it shows. This is one of the trades where experience counts and costly to fix if not done right. We worked with Luis who is a owner and his follow up and commitment to both his customers and employees is clear. Happy long term skilled employees make a difference in the finished work. Highly recommend. read more

Dear Luis, Who'd of ever thunk getting "PLASTERED" would be graced with the luck of your INTEGRITY?! Thank you for the fine and upstanding job! Cordially, The DeLuise Brothers In a labor intensive field, profit margins rarely realize INTEGRITY with COMPREHENSIVE, HONEST and FINE WORKMAN SHIP! Diamond in the rough!!! I looked and shopped long and considerably-- so PLEASED to have finally found this UPSTANDING well experienced company handed down from father to son! Look no further! Luis Marquez is your man! Speak with Tina. read more

Unprofessional. Made first appointment they cancelled the day of. Made a second appointment they never showed up and never called to cancel. If that's the way they treat potential customers, can you imagine how they will behave once they have your deposit. Run Away. You can do much better. read more

They did a great job at a fair price. Trust me you will not be sorry. I am not a relative

Our pool is beautiful once again thanks to Luis Marquez and his fantastic crew. I set an appointment for Luis Marquez to give us an estimate on our tired 31 year old pool and spa. Not only did he show up (very unusual in this industry) but he was on time! He gave us an estimate and explained all of our options. Hired! We were sent a schedule by his assistant that told us day by day what work was to be accomplished. Okay this is the great part, they met every schedule and cleaned up every day and were super polite. The entire experience was unbelievably wonderful. I have been singing the praises of American Pool Plastering to anyone that will listen. My pool is gorgeous and my husband and I are happy happy!! read more

We had the best experience with American Pool. We had our pool re-tiled and plastered. Our dealing with Luis was awesome. We weren't sure what we wanted to do and he really helped us out with making up our minds. They were also very timely getting the job done. And the office help was very professional and pricing was great. read more

I recently had my plaster pool refinished with Pebble Tec Sheen by American Pool Plastering. Luis, one of the owners was very informative and provided me with guidance in selecting my pebble tec color and sheen. His crew of men worked so hard to remove old plaster and apply the new pebble tec sheen. Everyone involved with this company is wonderful, polite and helpful. We are so pleased with the way the pool came out. We went with aqua blue pebble tec sheen. The pool looks like a blue lagoon . The cost was less than other vendors who estimated this job. All in all, I would highly recommend American Pool Plastering for your pool refinishing. And, try Pebble Tec instead of plaster. It's so much nicer. read more

Our project is ongoing with Luis and he continues to show us that we chose the right person to work with. We have multiple contractors working concurrently and sensing our frustration with one of them, Luis surprised us with a tile installation that is everything we imagined, and brought us closer to our final vision for our pool and patio. I can't be more pleased with his professionalism and service. If you are searching for a trustworthy pool company, look no further. read more

We had a very positive experience with American Pool and Safety Inc (APSI) Our Pool-Spa combination was over 30 yrs old and black bottom plaster was in desperate need of redo. Large amount of tile on braised bond beam, some of which were falling off. We did quite a bit of research and interviewed 6 different companies. Luis Marquez is the owner of APSI and has been in the business a long time, working under his father's company years ago and now owning APSI. He was very easy to deal with and spent a good deal of with us during the interview stage, answering many, many questions. His bid was not the cheapest of the six, but was in mid range and very competitive. After interviewing and visiting 4 of his past clients, we decided to go with APSI for the remodel (also which included installation of new 400,00 BTU gas pool heater, new standard lights, and some minor plumbing work) We were very pleased with the work. All workers are APSI emplyees (i.e. no subs) All phases went very smoothly (empty, demolition, tile, pebble sheen, equipment,plumbing.lights, retile) Each phase has different group of workers and all were pleasant to deal with. Luis oversees all the work and was available for all questions. There were no major problems and all was completed rapidly. Clean up was fantastic. I was truly dreading the remodel experience prior to becoming involved with APSI, but can honestly say they made the whole process very easy to deal with and with no headaches. We choose a pebble sheen finish with Fujiwa tile and the pool looks brilliant! Would highly recommend APSI. There are tons of horror stories out there about pool contractors and subs, you can rest assured you will not experience any problems with APSI. read more

The best experience I've ever had with any contractor! These guys were professional, courteous and always available. They started the job on time and finished on schedule. Monte answered my text messages within minutes picked up my calls every time I called. Kim in the office was professional and has great communication skills. They started on Monday and finished on Thursday. They were very competitive with other companies but much more responsive during the bidding process. read more

Last Aug., I had the pleasure of doing business with Luis Marquez as we needed to redo the pool in our home. After getting bids from numerous companies, I am overjoyed with the decision that I made and could not be more pleased with the outcome of the project! Professional, responsive to my questions and easy to work with. I HIGHLY recommend! read more

Luis came out and told me as much as he would like to have the work my pool didnt need the work that another pool company said it did. He told me the issues were cosmetic. Wow what a stand up guy that saved me $27,000. When my pool does need repair I'm calling him. read more

Luis Marquez came to our home to give us an estimate on resurfacing our small splash pool. That was the last we ever heard from American Pool. After about a half dozen calls to people who couldn't find our address, told us the guy who had our estimate went on vacation, etc. We gave up. It had been 7 weeks since we rearranged our schedule to accommodate an estimate. At this point, we aren't stupid enough to give a company our money, or access to our home, if they can't even return a call or follow through with an estimate. I guess the job wasn't big enough for them to give us the decency of a call back. My time is precious. I'm hoping this will save someone else the time we can't get back. read more

So happy with their work and professional approach. They were the lowest of 2 bids I received and easily the most assuring in terms of knowledge and desire for a good customer experience. (not just another job). They provided me a daily schedule and kept it precisely. Our pool looks amazing and we are thrilled. I highly recommend. read more
