We just finished a complete renovation of our pool with Oscar's Pool Service, and I can honestly…read moresay it was one of the best decisions we've made as homeowners. When we bought our house three years ago, we knew the pool needed to be redone. Unfortunately, because of other major repairs, we had to wait. Our house was a flip, and whoever patched up the pool before us did a quick, cosmetic job that started falling apart within months. The plaster came off in sheets, the 1960s tile was covered in decades of calcium buildup, the coping was old red brick with mortar literally crumbling out, and some jets and plumbing didn't even work. The pool was technically swimmable, but it was depressing to look at. This summer our weekly pool cleaner told us the plaster was about to fail completely, so we started calling around for estimates. Most of the big corporate companies gave us inflated quotes and made us feel like just another job number. A trusted friend recommended Oscar's, so we checked Yelp, saw all the great reviews, and gave him a call. Oscar came out immediately, took careful measurements, walked us through every detail, and his knowledge and professionalism instantly won our trust. From there, the process moved quickly. Within a week of signing, his crew demoed the entire pool in just a few hours. We got to choose tile from several suppliers and ended up with a beautiful pebble mosaic that matched our house. At first, we thought we'd keep the old red brick coping, but at the last minute we switched to a modern dark gray brick. Best decision ever! It completely transformed the look of our backyard. As often happens with older homes, surprises came up: our original 1964 gas and electrical lines were corroded and had to be replaced. Oscar handled everything--brought in trusted contractors, coordinated the work, and saved us the headache of dealing with multiple companies. While we were at it, we upgraded our equipment to a top-of-the-line Jandy system with Wi-Fi controls, plus added a heater and automatic pool filler. Yes, the budget went up, but every upgrade was worth it. Watching the transformation was amazing. Once the new tile, coping, and plaster went in, it felt like we had a brand-new pool built from scratch. The white plaster makes the water sparkle, the equipment runs quietly and efficiently, and with the heater and lights, we can swim comfortably day or night, year-round. Beyond the work itself, what made the experience so special was Oscar and his family. He's personable, honest, hardworking, and clearly cares about his craft. His crew was professional, respectful, and fast. By the end, it felt like we weren't just hiring a contractor--we were working with people who truly cared about making our home better. Now every time we step into our backyard, we can't believe the difference. What was once an eyesore is now the centerpiece of our home, and we're enjoying it constantly. If you need pool renovation, plaster, tile, coping, or even just reliable weekly service in the San Fernando Valley--call Oscar's. He's the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKKSP_c4UY

He held on to my $4500 deposit from April 7th until May 3rd when the work finally began. The pool sat in a demo state from May 3rd until May 15th when the plumbing work began. The pebble tec was completed on May 22nd. A 2 week process took 6 1/2 weeks. Arman refilled the pool and did not return to complete the required re-entry process. Oh ...and I have a GREEN pool that looks like a dirty lagoon instead of the midnight blue I ordered. Do with this information what you will. He talks a good game but does not deliver what he promises. UPDATE: 6/8/25 I received a call from the subcontractor who did the plumbing and tile work. Arman still has not paid him despite the fact that he was given the final cash payment over a week ago.

Him and I had a good working relationship. I can't say the same about my new tech as he doesn't speak english and the new manager won't facilitate a way for us to communicate. It was just discovered that my conditioner was at zero, so chlorine wasn't sticking around. Compound that issue with some other ones, such as rain, and it's a recipe for a perfect storm. I'm generally pretty laid back, but I expect good communication. What happened next is what let me know I was ready to move on. Things go wrong. It happens and I'm usually very understanding, but the new owner/manager refused to give me a phone call so we can remedy the situation. She then sends me a wall of text. I ask her to call me again and she sends me an even bigger wall of text. I felt like I was in a fight with my highschool girlfriend. The kicker is that she is blatantly incompetent. It wouldn't even be that bad, but she is also incredibly unreasonable. I know she has a lot going on in life right now as other reviewers have mentioned, but not taking ownership of a problem, trying to gatekeep communication, and treating customers this way is obviously not the right way to run a business.

He arrives on time consistently with all the materials he needs to service our pool properly. Because of Tony, we have had a crystal clean blue pool for ages. When using the pool in the past, I have never had an issue with the water bothering my eyes or skin due to over use of chemicals. With the years of experience under his belt, you can expect quality from Tony Passarella. Beside his work ethic, Tony Passarella is a wonderful man, over the years, my family and I have gotten to know what a kind and caring person he is. It's nice to have someone you trust servicing what you have built so many memories around. I recommend Tony to anyone who needs there pool serviced, because there is no type of pool that Tony Passarella cannot handle. Give him a call ASAP, he will not disappoint.

I explained that my pool man hasn't been coming by and I was in the process of shocking my pool. I was hoping my pool will be ready before this weekend. I'm throwing my youngest son a birthday pool party Saturday. Without hesitation he said "shoot me your address and I'll come by to take a look." (Eventhough it was his day off) Not only is he knowledgeable about the pool but you can tell he's kind, humble, honest and a great teacher. He took his time to go over what's the next steps to getting the pool ready for Saturday/ready for summer. He taught me about the air bleed sock for DE filters and manifold. He even gave me a FREE O ring for manifold. Thank you for your help today. I greatly appreciate you. I highly recommend Mike as your next pool guy.

I didn't realize how many unqualified people are out there working on pools until I ran into…read moreseveral problems with ours. A pool isn't just water and a pump--it involves electricity, gas, and chemicals, and if something is done incorrectly, the risks can be serious, especially with kids in the home. That became very clear to me this summer. After picking up on a few too many red flags with our previous pool guy, I went looking for someone who actually knew what they were doing. That's how I found Michael. He called me back right away and came out quickly. Within minutes of inspecting the equipment, he found multiple issues--including one major electrical safety problem that could have seriously harmed my kids. No one had ever caught it before. Since then, I've had several other licensed specialists out (leak detection, electricians, etc.), and every single one of them confirmed what Michael found. Beyond the technical side, he's exactly the kind of person you want working on something as important as a pool: consistent, knowledgeable, and a great communicator. He shows up when he says he will and explains everything in a way that actually makes sense. Finding someone competent shouldn't be this hard, but I'm glad we eventually crossed paths with Michael. I highly recommend Pool SOULution and Michael Meadows.

Look at this pool. This is what it looks like after a FULL MONTH of "service" from this company…read more All they do is lie. They promised to come, they promised to fix it, they promised proof of service -- every single time it was "I'll send it, I'll send it." Nothing ever came. Because they never actually did the work. I took down my last negative review because they promised everything would be fixed on Friday. Friday came. No one showed up. Again. I'm done. I'm moving to another company because my pool is destroyed and I can't keep giving chances to people who only know how to lie. This review stays up. I don't care what they promise this time . I've heard every version of it already. Please do not trust this company. Stay far away if you care about your pool. UPDATE in response to the company's reply: The company claims their team came out yesterday. They did not. I was home all day, and I have security camera footage that confirms no one came to my property ，yesterday or any other day. They are now using one lie to cover another. They claim they serviced the fountain "as a courtesy" yesterday. No one was here. They claim it takes 24-48 hours for water to clear. That would be relevant if anyone had actually shown up to treat it. They also say the fountain wasn't part of my agreement. Forget the fountain for a moment！ look at the POOL. My pool is half green. The pool IS in my agreement, and it looks worse than I did a month ago when I signed up. In one full month of "service," I have: * Never received a single service report, despite asking for proof basically every day * Never received before/after photos or any documentation * Watched my pool turn completely green And now they want to be paid for a month of service that never happened, and they're framing my refusal to pay as "unfair." What's unfair is being charged for work that wasn't done and being lied to repeatedly when I asked for proof. Please stay away from this company.Green pools don't lie. The absence of any report or photo in a full month doesn't lie. They say the fountain (small pool) wasn't in my agreement. And here's the part that shows they either don't understand pools or are pretending not to: ALL THE WATER ON THIS PROPERTY IS INTERCONNECTED. It flows between the pool and the fountain. If one section turns green, the whole system turns green. You cannot "service the big pool" while ignoring a green fountain feeding into the same water . that's not how pools work. Here's the part that should concern any potential customer: they sent me a photo of the small pool just now completely green and said NOTHING. No "hey, this looks bad, do you want us to add it to your service?" . They just let it sit and turn green for a month. That's not a service issue , that's a character issue. A responsible company would tell the owner: "This isn't part of your current plan, but it's deteriorating fast, would you like us to take care of it?" Instead, they watched it get destroyed and said nothing until I brought it up. And the reason I didn't notice it because they never sent me any picture the entire month until I complain right now. So if they have sent a picture of how green and how much it was destroyed earlier, I would have noticed it and asked them to take care of it as well. Now this damage is irreversible. And then there's the big pool which IS in my agreement and is also half green after a full month of service because they completely ignore the fountain that share the same water with the pool. Completely ridiculous !!!
