    Perfection after pool was cleaned
    Beatriz C.

    Aqua 26 has been our pool servicing company for a few years now. We don't have that big of a pool and the deepest it goes is 5 feet. But, it still gets very dirty. We heard about Aqua 26 through a family member, we decided to give them a try and because we liked their services we remained with them. Greg Herman (owner and founder) is very knowledgeable when it comes to cleaning pools and keeping them running great! We are very pleased with his services and very keen in recommending him. Did I mention that his service is also very quick and on point. Got a dirty pool, gotta call this man ;)

    A picture is worth a thousand words. Just see what Aqua26 did to our newly installed pebble pool in just 4 weeks. The pool is covered with algae under Aqua26 services. Hired Greg to maintain our pool for weekly service , at the time he promised his technician will balance the pool chemistry, scrub, and vacuum the pool weekly. But the technician either didn't try, or failed miserably to balance the water pH and maintain properly chlorine levels, and was even reluctant to vacuum the pool when I specifically told him there is a bunch of dust/sand/pebbles at the bottom of pool. Just to confirm whether they were properly maintaining the water pH, I took the water sample to Leslie for testing, and the results showed the water pH is too high (7.8-8.0), and the chlorine levels are close to 0, both perfect conditions for algae growth. I notified Greg a couple times throughout the course, he said his technician will take care of it, but the algae just kept growing. He tried to blame it on chlorine shortage, but there are alternatives like power chlorine, chlorine tabs, shocks, etc. And the funny thing is, the next day after I fired him, I walked into local pool supply store and was able to buy 8 bottles of gallon chlorine myself! It was certainly a lack of care and professionalism on Aqua26.

    See all

We got quotes from several pool remodeling companies and Smart Swim came in right in the middle. We are strong believers on "you get what you pay for," and opted to go with them even though they were not the cheapest. From beginning to end, the guys at Smart Swim were easy to work with and truly wanted our project to come out great. After 30 years, it was time for our pool to have a remodel! Through the remodel, it was uncovered that we had many severe leaks, down to the rebar that needed to be fixed in some areas. Sam was great at making sure we understood the severity and that we were okay with any new costs that needed to be added. Not only did they do our pool, but also installed turf by the pool area and put pavers all around the pool and yard area. We also got the new gray gate installed from them as well, to replace the wooden fence in the yard (between the pool). **Noting that the perimeter wall/wooden top was painted black and sanded/stained by a different company. We truly appreciate their hard work and even when we had an immediate death in the family during their time working on our project, they were very respectful and gave us some space as needed. BIG THANK YOU to Shai that really has the ultimate patience and knows how to give amazing customer service!! You all are lucky to have him on your team!

He came over and told me exactly what the problem was, the price and when he was available. His price was competitive and lower than others I had used in the past. Over the years he has provided professional, quality and technical service. Once I had a variety of problems he walked me through which I should fix first then perhaps wait on the others. In the end he fixed it completely. He's a patient listener, kind and extremely knowledgeable due to his long years of experience. He schooled me as to which chemicals to buy to maintain my spa. I most recently saw that my spa was leaking. I called him and he came right over the next day. Of course the spa was suddenly completely dry and showed no leaks. He had me fill the tub to its proper level of water. Suddenly it started leaking. He located the problem and fixed it I very highly recommend David for any of your spa needs.

This thing was basically a concrete dinosaur that had somehow survived six decades of questionable decisions, and it desperately needed new tile, fresh plaster, a new light, and a leak patched up before it staged a full rebellion. I can't say enough good things about the company and how smoothly they communicated throughout the entire process. My main contact, Dave, was genuinely helpful, pleasant, and refreshingly non-pushy--the rare salesperson who doesn't make you feel like you're being gently herded into a timeshare presentation. And then there's Juan, their plumbing wizard. This guy can apparently do everything, shows up when he says he will, and is as friendly as he is competent. If I ever need a superhero sidekick for household emergencies, Juan's getting the call. High praise all around--Superhero Pool turned my aging relic into something I'm actually proud to own again.

My old pool guy wasn't maintaining the pool properly, and it got to a point where it was no longer usable. Castro Pool came in and completely turned things around. They took the time to properly assess the condition, reset the system, and get everything back on track. Within a short time, the pool went from looking rough to being in amazing, crystal-clear condition again. What really stood out was their professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work and keeping the pool in top shape--not just doing a quick pass and leaving. If you're dealing with pool issues or just want reliable service, I highly recommend Castro Pool. They brought my pool back to life.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending thousands on what was supposed to be a…read morestraightforward spa coping replacement, I think it's important to share my experience. The project was estimated to take about five days. Instead, it stretched to nearly three weeks because one issue after another kept coming up. What became most frustrating was that I felt like I had to constantly inspect the work and point out obvious problems as they happened. The new spa coping profile didn't match the existing pool coping, but even worse, one half of the spa coping had a different reveal than the other half (see pics), the bullnose was noticeably uneven, extensive patching was required after the initial pour, and the mastic installation had to be redone. Every time one issue was addressed, another seemed to appear. The final, and still unresolved, problem involved the three spillways between the raised spa and the pool. During the project, the Castro team unnecessarily removed and discarded original spillway stone. They installed replacement stone, but after the spa was refilled, the spillways no longer functioned as they had before the project. Because of the way the replacement stone was installed, water that previously flowed fairly evenly across all three spillways now flows almost entirely through one, with little bit in the middle one, and pretty much no flow in the third. What disappointed me most was what happened next. I wasn't asking Isidoro to immediately fix it. I simply asked him to come back, look at the spillways with me, compare them to the videos from before the project, discuss what changed, and come up with a plan to fix it. Instead, after I had already given him the final payment, he told me it would cost another $1,500 to address the issue and he was too busy immediately to come fix it. He never came to inspect the work in person and on my last phone call with him, he told me to fix it myself and literally hung up on me. I understand that construction projects don't always go perfectly. Mistakes happen. What matters is whether a contractor takes ownership of problems and works with the customer to resolve them. That didn't happen here. If the workmanship issues had been the only problem, I probably wouldn't be writing this review. It was the combination of repeated quality issues, the need to continually monitor the work myself, and the unwillingness to come back and inspect a legitimate concern after the project was completed that left me unable to recommend Castro Pool Services.
