Andrew is great fast response. Fixed the problem the next day and relates back the work that was performed. Would definitely recommend.

This past month, Andrew came in and SAVED the day with our pool refresh. When our initial contractor stalled out and became unresponsive halfway through the project, Andrew and his team came in and was able to complete our flooring and tile in no time, all within budget. Top quality cutsomer service and went above and beyond to make my wife and I feel good about situation. Many contractors hire crews and famously fall back from the project, but Andrew was there every step of the way not only to guide his crew, but also hands-on at times (which you almost never see today....) Once our project was complete, he came daily and handled the first 7-day startup himself ensuring the new concrete was in a good spot to pass on to us. One month in and our pool runs and looks fantastic. If you want reliable and responsive, please consider this group for your next pool project. read more

I was hoping Andrew would actually call me. He asked for my info and phone number and th en nothing. I ended up with a pool company that I would never hire again. Let us just put it that way. I just read t5he horrible review that was posted and so glad I never heard back from Andrew. Whew. I thought my guys were bad. thanks youi guys for sharing. Appreciate it. I have one more issue I am still working on with my guys then I will be very honest about my company too. read more

I appreciate the work that California Poolmen Inc. did. Andrew was extremely professional. He was proactive reaching out to me. He came outside to do a job walk. He validated and addressed all my concerns. Proposed a fair quote completed the job with three days of work. The scope of work included installing three return lines and patching some of the existing. They did trench work and it was extremely clean. I would recommend him and his business to others who have pools. Definitely a contractor that goes above and beyond. Five star rating! read more

Andrew was responsive, friendly, answered all questions and arrived on time for all appointments. He mixed a custom blend of two grouts to match existing and repaired 25 broken joints between our pool coping tiles. The job was done quickly and with good workmanship and after-job clean up. read more

Based on my experience with California Poolman, I would recommend them. My pool needed to be resurfaced, and after getting a number of quotes, I chose California Poolman. Their quote was fair and reasonable, and they set up a schedule that worked for me. His team was professional - they demo'd the old plaster, repiped, and installed new electrical. What I really liked was Andrew's communication - he always told me where we were in the build, what days that he would be there, and what days things needed time to set. After the pool and filter installation was complete, he returned to help me understand how the new filtration system would operate. I am happy with the cost, quality of work, schedule that he worked to, and his professional and friendly demeanor. read more

Andrew was quick to respond and quick with the estimate. Once a date for the installation was arranged, he called to advise about a minor delay. He and his helper accomplished the work in short time and included the removal of some other old equipment. We are very pleased with the installation and the reasonable price. read more

California Poolmen did an incredible job for us they updated the spa and pool which needed to be replastered as well as have the 30-year-old cracked concrete decking removed. They also repaired an outdated BBQ and gave us a new paver and travertine decking. Andrew the Owner was super informative, involved throughout the whole process. Ruben had great attention to detail when he worked. Although we had an efficient existing layout, they put together a great color scheme and were very helpful in helping us make good choices during the material selection. In short very much impressed us. We also added a pool heater and new filter and redid the plumbing above ground for the pool equipment. The most important thing that they did also was to add drainage to the deck so when it rains, we won't have flooding on the deck. All in all, they were not the cheapest bid, BUT they did all the work well and on time. All the loose ends were completed to make us another satisfied customer. We will be referring them to everyone for sure!! Thanks guys!! read more

Amazing team, efficient and kind. So grateful for Andrew's expertise! He came, helped me diagnose my leak issue, and resolved it in a non invasive and quick manner! read more

Well what can I say.. It was a long process with many pauses but at the end we were happy with the result. It took about a year for the whole process to complete but I can see why. We were happy doing business with California Poolmen. Tony and Andrew were always ready with answers. Would recommend to others. Completed a brand new pool read more

Rob and Andrew help turn my drained pool from a green swamp to a beautiful pool. They provided a more than fair quote for a replaster and tile job. I was amazed that they were able to start the job quickly and finish on schedule. I did get a few other quotes that came in a lot higher and with a delayed start time on the job, so going with the guys at California Poolmen was an easy choice. The fact that they finished the job with great communication and good work was quite a surprise. This company knows pools and what it takes to fix and make a great one. read more

I got an estimate over Yelp but Andrew said he won't come out here to make sure the estimate is accurate unless he gets the job. Every other contractor with come to my home and give me the free estimates. What if he comes onto my property and finds the pool needs more work? Nope. Not good. read more

Our pool and spa are finally finished and we're ecstatic with the result. Construction started at the end of July and completed in November. The pool and spa look exactly like the design. We are very happy with the result and cannot wait until the weather gets warmer so we can enjoy it. Tony is our main contact throughout the process and we could not be happier. He always made himself available for any questions and concerns. Tony is very knowledgeable and helpful in every way. Whenever Tony was not available, he would ask his partner, Andrew, to assist us. Andrew has been a pleasure to work with as well. Whenever there was an issue, Tony was always there to resolve it. For example, the height of the spa benches were too low for my wife. They're the perfect height for me, but a couple of inches too low for her petite frame. Tony scheduled his workers to come and raise the two benches to accommodate her height at no extra charge. This further proves that they are willing to go the extra step (pun intended) to make their customer happy. California Poolmen also worked with our City to get the proper permits and we've had multiple inspections by the City. After each inspection, there would be some kind of minor corrections requested by the inspector. Tony would send his men to work on the necessary changes so that we would be in compliance with the City's rather strict guidelines. Everyone who came to work was very professional and friendly. We greatly appreciated that the workers always cleaned up well after every stage of construction and did not leave a mess. When it comes to pricing, California Poolmen is very competitive. We've gotten bids from other builders and they want to nickel and dime us for every little thing. I like how California Poolmen sees the big picture and was willing to work with us on the design without over charging us for every simple request. If you are interested in building a pool or getting a pool makeover, you should definitely give them a call. You got nothing to lose by getting more bids and you'll probably select them when you compare the price and features that they offer. Overall, we are extremely happy with California Poolmen. read more

Our pool was finished, a little behind, not because of them. Oddly enough, still in the drought, we were almost finished and then the rain came and it poured for about a month. Then it had to dry up, then they went back at it. I'm still finishing decorating, but these are a few pictures that I've taken really showing the pool, not the whole back yard. Once it gets a little more decoration, I'll ad some updated pictures. I would highly recommend them and I would gladly show my pool. The only thing I would highly advise someone that is going to get one, make sure you have a good over fill set up and you have a fixed faucet to fill the pool, located some where out of sight. With all my years in building and theirs, some how we missed it. I'm lucky to have a hose bib not more then 10 ft from the pool. Our over fill drain isn't bad, but it could be better. The only other thing is if you have concrete coping figure out your finish look before it is poured. You can address it later, but it is easier if it is done sooner. They took into mind greatly what we intended our pool to be, a hang out/splash pool. Not diving and training, so its 3 ft at the ends with a bench at each end, and slopes to 5 ft in the middle. Great for laps, pool volley ball, and spring until fall with out heating it, it hovers around 80 degrees. With the app, you can control the lights, heater, hot tub and it's easy to use. read more

Andrew answered the phone when i called and came out the next day to fix and trouble shoot the issue with our pool turning green. He was responsive, helpful, professional, capable and fixed made our pool water crystal clear and gave us good tips on how to maintain our pool and his fee was reasonable. I wish there were more people like Andrew to call when i need assistance. 5 Star well deserved thank you read more

I just want to share a few photos of our remodel that was completed by California Poolman. Our experience we had with this company from the initial phone call to setup the appointment to the completion of the work was a very good experience. Our first contact with Andrew, as we discussed the remodel plans, made us feel very comfortable, as he was very knowledgeable. He answered our questions and was able to assist us in our decisions. He was very transparent to let us know if the designs we planned would work out or not. Unlike other companies, he did not try to con us to do more work that we didn't need. During our discussion, he helped us design plans that worked best for our family. After signing the contract, we met with Tony, as well as, the rest of the team. Tony kept us informed about the project throughout the entire process, which lasted for about nine weeks. Whenever we had questions, he would always get back to us in a timely manner. He made sure the team did the work we planned and did it correctly. In fact, when something was incorrect, it was redone and we didn't even notice it was done incorrectly. This shows how this company is accountable and value their work. The team was always responsive to texts and phone calls whenever we had questions about the project. The workers cleaned up and put away their tools before they left for the day. They left no hazards for our family. The team members were friendly and focused on completing the project timely. We were very happy with this experience, we added more projects because we loved the initial results of the project. Overall, the final outcome of the projects was beautiful. Thanks again read more

This company (Tony) scored a perfect 100% for our pool. He came and listened to our needs. He gave us great suggestions without forcing his ideas. We were really torn over the tile and coping and went with his ideas. Oh my gosh!!! His design of pebble tek Tahoe blue with the tile and coping are perfect!! You actually see the same colors in the pebble that are in the tiles and coping. No clashing of colors at all. They were so clean and neat we could still use the patio as they worked for 2 1/2 weeks. We have a huge pool so we really expected 4 weeks but ready in 12 work days. I highly recommend calling them and listen to them. I couldn't be happier. read more

1. Our pool still has streaks, swirls, and splotchiness in the plaster. 2. They designed the jets where the leaves on top stay around our stairs instead of making their way to the skimmer. 3. They didn't offer me a bottom drain which would help in the cleanliness of the bottom of our pool. We have a pool cleaning service once per week, and it's filthy the next day even tho we don't have any trees immediately around us. So now we have to get an automatic vacuum that will have to run a couples times per day. 4. The multi-colored light they installed was $3100 to make it to code and is very hit or miss. The electrical wiring was messed up on the circuit breaker at first. It still doesn't come on all the time. 5. They left a bunch of debris after they asked for the final payment, and I don't think they would've come if I hadn't called a few times after they kept missing the day they said they would come clean up. 6. I was told I would get a brand new state-of-the-art pump. He'll point to the whole system and really sell it. But they don't replace the filter housing (the big brown container in the picture. It was old and ugly, and I thought that would be a part of the pump that would be replaced. No, that's more money. I didn't know until they were done.) 7. I asked for options on concealing the pump. They said it would come with a cover. Great! No it doesn't. I forget what excuse they gave. 8. This smaller pool remodel was $20k. Replaster, new lines and skimmer, salt water, new pump, light. NO COPING which is the rim of the pool. That was like another $4k or something. So the concrete they use on the outside of the coping doesn't match and it all just looks terrible. See picture. 9. There are white stains all over the coping. Sloppy job. A man named John comes out and writes up the contract, and then you won't see him again. He'll make it seem inconvenient if you call him for concerns. Tony is nice, and he'll lead the actual project. The picture is after running the pump for an hour on a higher speed and after I brushed the bottom of pool hoping to kick up the dirt to go into the skimmer. Very disappointed after an expensive purchase. read more

Andrew was absolutely amazing to work with! He and Ruben completed a tile repair on our spa with such excellent craftsmanship! Our initial contact was with Rob, but Andrew handled all the scheduling and repair recommendations, and he and Ruben completed the tile replacement quickly. They were flexible with a time-change request and made several other suggestions of needed repairs with absolutely no pressure. Their cost was so much lower than another company's estimate had been. I'm so glad we chose California Poolmen. We will definitely be reaching out to them again! read more

I was looking to have my pool plaster, leak repaired, and tile cleaned. I did my homework and had five contractors come review the work that I wanted performed. One of them was Andrew from California Poolmen, Inc. Andrew was very punctual and professional. He did not upsell me on any items, which I liked. Andrew is just an honest and overall nice human being. He mentioned he would not be the least expensive but he would not sub-out the work to others like other companies do. This is why they stand behind their work and they do such great quality work! He was right. From the five quotes I received, California Poolmen Inc. was somewhere in the middle. I am extremely satisfied with the work that they did. I decided to go with the mini-pebble Caribbean Blue and added some pool lights. The crew did an excellent job from beginning to end. The mini pebble looks great, the leak was fixed, and the tile was cleaned. The job was completed on time as stated on the contract and there were no extra fees. If you are looking to get your pool redone, I highly recommend you call Andrew. You will find Andrew to be a complete professional and a great human being. He is the kind of person you want to do business with! You will be satisfied with the work just as I am. read more

All I have to say is WOW! I called numerous pool contractors for our pool remodel and were given A lot of estimates and not only did California Poolman come in the lowest of all the others but they offered so many more options in my budget than any other company offered. Their honesty is truly what won me over. John, an older gentlemen is the one that did our estimate. He is one awesome guy, never did he once pressure us into getting more things or trying to upgrade us on something we didn't need. He actually took time and sat down with my Wife and I , and explained the break down costs for everything that they were going to do. We quickly learned how much the other companies were trying to over charge us for the same thing. Some companies were close to Poolman's cost but most were way pricier. Again , we chose Poolman because they way do business..... very family oriented, honest and trustworthy. And we are happy we chose them. When it came to the the actual work Tony was the man in charge for my project . Tony made sure the project went smoothly always kept in contact with me, even gave me his personal cell for any questions or concerns! I really don't know of many contractors that do that. Tony also help with designs and gave me some free upgrades for the pool, which i was so grateful for since we had a tight budget. In the end what it really comes down to is that California Poolman really cares about their work and also the people they are working for. They really make you feel like family and also treat you that way too. They also had the best warranty out of all the other companies too. I really Thank Tony and the whole California Poolman team for the great work, the great customer service and just being great people in general. So if you're looking for a Pool Contractor, I beg you please give California Poolman a call, you will not regret it and you will save your self the time with other companies. Also if you need a Pool cleaning and maintenance company they also offer that service too. We hired them to maintain our new pool. Again, very reasonable prices and very honest . Thank you Tony and California Poolman for making our remodeling our pool not a dream but reality . I wish I could give these guys more than 5 stars because they deserve more !!! read more

5 stars and then some. Almost this is the best company. I had a problem with my lights not turning on. Big tony explained to me the potential costs and options and stopped by. Turned out it was a switch on the wall that someone (probably the kiddos) turned off without me knowing. These guys are the best. Highly recommend awesome service and pool still looks awesome. read more

We did a complete remodel of our pool and decking last year, this was a long awaited Dream of ours which came to fruition commencing January of 2022. We thought we We're going with an outstanding pool remodel company, but our dream turned into a nightmare which is still going on in 2023. I read another review, which is very similar to what we are experiencing, so I am compelled to write my own to warn other prospective clients of a very disturbing pattern. First of all I will say that the craftsmanship on our pool design is beyond what we hoped this is all because of the outstanding craftsmanship of Maestro and his son who did all the tile work and the flagstone coping and stair work. Where our issues lie, the jacuzzi which was added to our pool has two water descents, which one of them is almost non existent just a small trickle of water, tried over and over again with Tony our project manager and owner of company have been sending texts since Last November which none have been answered. The other owner Andrew also knows of this issue he was at our home toward the end if our year long remodel, he pointed it out himself so he is aware but nothing has been done, we have also talked And texted with Rob who keeps saying it will be addressed, Andrew said ASAP but weeks later nothing. We had spent over 100k dollars on this pool remodel, it seems once they are done they don't care anymore. They have their money and they don't care about their customer satisfaction We wish we had never gone with them. Now we have to pay MORE money to have the jacuzzi water descent fixed by another company. We will also be addressing this with the Better Business Bureau. read more

Adam You Rock !!! Thank you California Poolman, delivered exactly what I was trying to do with my project. Swapped a 1.5 HP single stage motor to Hayward MaxFlo VS variable speed pump. It is true, the usage savings are true. By finding the right RPM you will lower your total usage. Think of an Electric car, if you only had one speed at 115 miles per hour the battery charge won't last as long as different speeds for different driving around town. Same thing with a pump motor. Adam also installed an Intelibrite LED light controller, adding some conduit and wiring so the switch is chest high so no bedding down to switch colors. Adam was prompt and timely and like with most retrofits, there are always curve balls. Adam resolved everything to a high standard. read more

This review is long overdue. We did a major renovation of our backyard and pool through California Poolman and I really can't say enough good things about this company, they completed the project early this year. I had several quotes from other companies and theirs was right in the same ballpark or a little lower but because a friend had recommended them I hired them and couldn't be happier with my choice. Tony and his team are simply the best, they never tried to upsell me and when I wanted changes to the plans he was totally fair. I ended up redoing our boundary walls which wasn't in the original plan and Tony was very flexible with me. The crew they send out is extremely polite and friendly. Lastly, the final product was fantastic! Our backyard looks just like what I discussed with the company, we love our new backyard. I would give them 6 stars if I could. I'm posting before and after photos. read more

My review is solely based on lack of customer service . Initial conversation was with Andrew, he was polite and said a worker with follow up with me in regards to setting up an apt for estimate. About four days later received a text from his salesman Rob. Rob just asked for my availability and my address, after that no follow up text or reply to my text asking about the status of apt. Very unprofessional, however maybe it's best I encounter this unprofessional behavior now rather than after I sign a contract with these people. read more

Adam and his team are top-notch. They are responsive and professional, informed and thorough. From the first visit to the estimate to the accepted bid to getting the work done, everything was fast and easy and it was done right. Our pool is already light-years better, the water is cleaner and the heater and pumps are far more efficient. Adam and his team also do routine pool service such as skimming, vacuuming and water balancing, and they do big jobs like remodeling of plaster and tile. He's an ambitious young guy, knows his stuff and is on top of things, glad we found him and his team and looking forward to working with them long term. read more

Had this company replace the plaster and modify my pool in Sept of 2018. Really enjoyed working with them. They were conscious of our needs and kept us "in the loop" throughout the project. Yes there were some minor issues during the project, however each was handled with professionalism and integrity. The crewmen were extremely friendly and nice. I have used them subsequently on 2 commercial pools for a condo association upon which I am a board member. I believe everyone was pleased with the work and thankful for my recommendation. :) read more

We received several bids from different contractors but went with California Poolmen because we felt that we could trust John, the salesman. He is an older person who speaks loud and asked what our race was. We didn't get offended because we liked him, but thought that the question was irrelevant to the project. After we passed sales, Tony handled the project management. We had high hopes as we've read many good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was totally different. We had $18,000 worth of project and Tony said he is "too busy" to answer our questions and calls. He also changed a project scope a day before the actual work and asked us to sign off with such a limited time (during a workday). Regardless of whether the change is "more expensive" according to him, the short notice caught us off guard and we were displeased. But rather than being apologetic, he was very condescending and defensive. From that point on, he stopped answering and returning calls - except when he needs to collect payment. Tony didn't even return our calls regarding equipment startup that was part of the proposal that we paid for. We had to hire a different vendor to go through the equipment that California Poolmen installed for us, because California Poolmen never returned our call. Despite this unprofessionalism, we paid the entire amount on time, all the time without giving them any hard time. If we could do it all over again, we would bring our business to another contractor who is not too busy to answer a paying customer's questions and has the decency to work professionally. Unfortunately, they have lost our referrals and we have plenty of them. Andrew is okay. He at least responded to yelp message, but he does not do much since everything is handled by Tony. Poor communication, poor planning, and unprofessional. What a shame! read more

I put a request for a quote out to fix my pool pump. Within a few minutes, I got a response and estimate from California Poolmen. The next morning, Mike was at my door. By noon, I had an amazing new pool pump cleaning my pool along with several other issues that needed repair, including a broken circuit. The quote was beyond reasonable, as were the other issues that he addressed and gave me the cost before repair. I have found my pool repair guy who also happens to work on electrical and plumbing issues. I am beyond happy and satisfied with California Poolmen. read more

I am really disappointed I have to re evaluate our initial review, it's been less than a year since we replastered our pool and visibility of patchiness , rust and inconsistency runs within the entire pool , at first we were assured they would stand by their work and get everything to look right however know it's trying to be blamed on chemicals .... we 100% give our pool the correct treatment and are disappointed that the first year we will get to use it will be with these major eye sores. read more

California Poolman Inc. did a great job in my backyard. I had 4 bids for the job and Tony offered to do more for less. His crew was respectful / hard working individuals. Tony was not pushy at all and explained everything thoroughly. Once I decide to go into contract with him, Tony, maintained great communication with me throughout the process. Tony and his crew built me a new spa, gave me new plumbing, new tile, mini pebble, new electrical, LED lights in the pool and spa, new gas line (stubbed me for the future fire pit and kitchen), poured in place coping, they added a baja, and 1200 sq ft of Belgard Pavers. Everything came out beautiful. My family and I are very pleased with the job done by California Poolman Inc. and would recommend them for all your pool needs. We even hired them to maintain our pool. read more

California Poolmen - Our new pool - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me

For starters I would like to say that our pool turned out well but it's everything else that led to my pool being finished that didn't hold my standards . I was told our pool needed coping because it might deteriorate as they demolish my plaster . So we payed 1,500 for loose parts of coping . Later my pool was finished and we discover that the plaster wasn't even done in the first place which means I could of save 1,500 . I call Adam and he gets guys to come and fix the problem which they did very poorly . I never got a call from Adam since he was the one We did business with to see if I was satisfied with his people's work . Never got and apologized for missed work .Adam never bother to stop by as he said . The customer service was just not there for me . Lastly let me mentioned the mess the guys left that they didn't bother to clean after themselves . Customer service is important especially when you are paying for it . Sadly wouldn't recommend. read more

Had a complete backyard remodel. Pool, new retainer wall took out concrete added pavers, built a fireplace. Pool is nice coping is discoloring around edges grout around pavers washing away in some places, Small crack in mantel on fireplace. Remodel is one year old. At 6 months I started communicating with Tony however he says he's very busy. After paying over100,00 dollars to them I'd expect a call and ask how things were holding up and if there's any problems. Nope. I got one return call and was told to send pictures. Never got a call or text back to my calls for help. I'm not asking for anything I haven't paid for. They started out great however after they've been paid in full zero customer follow up or service. So you may or may not get good customer service after job is done. read more
