Details: I wanted to upgrade my system with all the latest automation and lighting. Also, I had a malfunctioning salt cell that my weekly pool tech could not figure out. I contacted Brian via the website and received a quick text that same day to setup a meeting. He quickly got the salt cell replacement going under warranty (no cost to me!) and spec'd out an automation setup. That night, received the quote with a timeline to get the parts/ installation. Price was right. Brian got everything installed and running very quickly (and on time) and was super communicative / timely throughout the process. I also liked that he was able to set a time for a meeting, not a half day time window like so many do (and fail to meet). It was a breath of fresh air having someone promptly call you back, setup meeting times and meet them, do the work as promised and on time. It's the way it should be! I'll definitely use Brian again.

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 !!!

I received a flat rate price before they even showed up which helped me make a decision of who to go with. The risk of more or less work for the price was worth not having to make an extra appointment. Turns out, they were right on the money as two other companies came, looked at it, gave me the same price and a week's delay in coming back to service it. Castillos came in 3 days. The spa looked gross, smelled gross and the guys even admitted that it might not be salvaged. But they pressed on and within an hour, they had it blindingly white and sanitized.

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
