    California Pools has been a dream to work with. They knocked out our full backyard remodel efficiently with excellent communication throughout the whole process. Huge shout out to Kyle Morse, who sold us our new pool and used his superior design skills to put it all together. He would even answer our questions during the weekend and well after hours. Kyle made a huge project like ours, flow seamlessly. You can tell that not only does he take his job seriously, he also has a huge passion for what he does, which speaks volumes about his character and diligence through the whole process. The super's we had also added to the amazing experience we had with CA Pools. Shout out to Nathan and Donny. Then to tie it all together were the schedulers, Marissa Puzz and Myra Olson, who kept us up to date on all the trades and kept the schedule moving smoothly. We wouldn't go with any other pool company other than CA Pools.

    California Pool's was recommended to me by a neighbor. They made a pool happen for me in a very small backyard. Their communication with the app was great. They were fast, neat, clean and worked very hard. Completed fast in spite of the Arizona heat!! They took care of everything...

    We recently completed our backyard project with California Pools & Landscape, and overall we are very happy with the final result. Our new pool and hot tub turned out beautiful, and we truly love spending time in the space. Like with any large project, there were some hiccups along the way. What stood out to us, and what ultimately confirmed why we chose California Pools, was their commitment to making things right. There were a few mistakes during the build, but each one was addressed and corrected without hesitation. Even after the project officially closed, it's reassuring to know they still stand behind their work through their warranty service. We also want to recognize the team we worked with throughout the process -- Doug Lillis (our project manager), scheduler Michelle Hessenflow, and construction manager Stephen Dreher. All three were professional, responsive, and a pleasure to work with. They made a big difference in keeping things moving and making us feel supported. No build is ever 100% perfect from start to finish, but what matters most is how a company responds when challenges come up. California Pools & Landscape proved to us that they are willing to step up and deliver on their reputation. In the end, we have a beautiful backyard retreat and the peace of mind that comes with strong customer support. That's why we feel confident recommending them and giving them 4 stars.

    Photo doesn't do the entire area justice!

    California Pools created a Pool and Spa backyard resort that was beyond our expectation! When mt husband and I recently moved to Arizonia we decided to add a pool to the construction of our new home. After interviewing several pool companies, we decided on California Pools. Why? It was the people, their commitment to their product, and their desire to provide seamless communication in ensuring the perfect pool for us! No, they weren't the cheapest, but we definitely feel like we got our monies worth! Brian Egge, our designer was patient in educating us as first time pool owners. He took our ideas, added in some great suggestions, and worked tirelessly to bring them to life with a perfect plan. Myra Olson and especially Michelle Hessenflow were key in keeping us updated with every little detail from beginning to end, making sure we were "in the know" with what was currently happening and what was next on the schedule. They were personable and professional with excellent follow thru. Donny, our Superintendent stayed engaged throughout the project. He was always there to ensure everything ran smoothly and that the quality of work was first rate. He never hesitated to address any concerns and his follow thru was excellent. It should be noted that all the craftsmen who worked on our project were terrific. They were on time, organized in their process, and ensured that the area was cleaned up every day! You could tell that they took pride in their work! Overall, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend California Pools--it was a great experience all the way around. Many thanks to all!

    Thank you Cody,Dillon and Ciera at California Pools-Surprise. We got 5 bids for our backyard project and Cody knocked it out of the park. Dillon was our project manager and Ciera was our point of contact. I always felt like I was a valued customer. The subs on the job worked hard and on an amazing time schedule. One after the next showed up on time and the quality was top notch. The final project made our backyard resort dream come true. I can't thank the folks at California Pools enough. Bonus: they are cool dudes too.

    Just like you, we were thinking to ourselves, "who are we going to TRUST to completely clear out an existing backyard to the earth and build a paradise oasis that only we can dream and vision in our minds?" We called Shasta Pools, Presidential Pools & Spas, and California Pools & Landscape to schedule an onsite consultation. Shasta Pools never contacted us, but we did get a call to schedule an onsite appointment with both Presidential Pools and California Pools for Friday, June 30, 2023. On the same day, I met with Karin Tierney (Backyard Design Specialist) from Presidential Pools and Christian Pierre (Designer) from California Pools. After the initial visit (June 30th), I never heard back from Karin Tierney of Presidential Pools, not one follow up or anything. Christian from California Pools immediately emailed me two days later with images for ideas and started creating our paradise oasis. Christian Pierre was professional, engaged, listened to our stories and dreams, asked us open-ended questions and his communication was excellent. Within a week, Christian presented us a video of the first pool designed. We made some minor changes and then he presented us the final video that turned our vision into a digital paradise oasis. I couldn't believe it, the video was literally what we visioned and dreamed, but the cost was above what we expected. We reminded ourselves, "You only live once." If this home is going to be our last, we don't want any regrets or future projects later, lets do this project right one last time. We said, "Let's Go!" We confirmed the project with California Pools and shortly after, we were introduced to Stephen Dreher (Lead Construction Manager). Stephen was a gentleman, very easy to talk to, a great listener, and a professional who follows through with action. Demolition started February 2024. Throughout the 2024 year, various construction teams came in to do their part of the project. Stephen kept in touch with me weekly with updates and seeking any questions from me. He was ALWAYS available via text, phone calls and in person. We made some changes during the project and Stephen was on top of processing Change Orders and updating the construction teams. Neighborhoods are made up of many types of people, and even with HOA approvals and city permits, you will find out which neighbors enjoy complaining and making it known that they are not happy people. No worries though, with Stephen's professional confidence and patience, he presented himself to these neighbors to answer any questions or address their concerns. Once he made himself available to these party poopers, the complaints lessened. After 12 months of construction, the pool project came to an end February 2025. I have to admit that making the decision to have California Pools & Landscape take on this project was one of the best decisions we ever made. The entire team that makes California Pools operate are ALL professionals and experts at what they do. The third party construction teams that work with California Pools were all professionals, execute precision work, and clean up their work when done. Stephen Dreher was in communication with all third party teams. Having the pool of our dreams seen on a video and built in our very own backyard is a dream come true. California Pools has converted our beautiful backyard (Casita Talasera) to "The Happiest Place On Earth." I will never say it enough though, THANK YOU Stephen Dreher for standing by our side from start to finish. Thank you for your honesty. Thank you for representing California Pools with pride and dedication. Even though Stephen loves California Pools and loves what he does, he always puts the customer first. I will honestly miss the daily/weekly interactions with Stephen, and his professional character. If you would like to discuss in detail or ask any questions about my experience with California Pools, feel free to message me. I'm confident that you will not regret choosing California Pools for your Pool Project. Sincerely, Frank A. Celaya

    The design

    In an industry that's rife with companies that lack integrity, reliability, and the resources to deliver on time (or at all in some cases), California Pools and Landscaping is the gold standard for making things happen. My hat's off to their designer Cory Blackwell, superintendent Kevin Everhart, and Construction Coordinator Leann Madar in taking our vision of a backyard oasis and making it a reality that exceeded our expectations. From 2D drawings to 3D model to demolition to underground rough-in to the finished product, it was quite the accelerated journey to witness a concept materialize. There were a couple of code challenges that popped up, but CPL was able to intercept and correct the issues to stay on schedule and avoid any red tags by Developmental Services. I've been in construction for 40 years and counting, and I have yet to see a project go without a snag, but in my opinion, working with CPL is the best choice in ensuring the job is done as seamlessly as possible. Great management team that raised the bar for customer service--they were extremely professional and responsive. When they schedule work to get done, it gets done...and we're talking high speed, low drag, folks. The workmanship from the travertine pavers to the pebble finish of the pool was flawless and beautiful, and the scope of work was completed impressively fast. As I first mentioned, there are a lot of companies out there trying to sell their ability to do the work you want, but do your research, do a deep dive on reviews, and check the BBB if there are any complaints filed against them. There are too many flakes and hacks in the valley that claim to be pool contractors, so do yourself and your dream project a favor and do your homework. In my humble opinion, California Pools and Landscaping stands head-and-shoulders above the rabble. They're not cheap, but A++ results speaks for itself. My name is Ajax, and I endorse this review.

    We have had the pleasure of working with Doug, Jordan and Sarah on building our pool and landscaping our yard. The communication from the very start was phenomenal. We did have a couple hiccups, but with those hiccups Jordan and Sarah went above and beyond to get over those hiccups and delivered way more than we expected. They were a GREAT team to work with. Our dogs all approved of Jordan, as he made sure they were able to swim as soon as possible. We looked at a couple pool places and no one made us feel as confident or comfortable as California Pools. They valued our time and listened to what we wanted and addressed any concerns we may have had. Thank you Doug, Sarah, and Jordan. We appreciate you all!

    They used shipping crates for us to get across an area that had settled after a rainstorm

    DJ is highly responsive and communicates timely. He quickly diagnosed the issue with my 20 year old…read morespa and offered multiple solutions and suggestions to save parts costs. I opted to source a circuit board online and DJ offered to walk me through the change via FaceTime (since I'm fairly handy) or come back and install it if I run into difficulty. DJ is a professional and a pleasure to work with, a breath of fresh air compared to the many fake spa techs out there. His service charge is 25-30% less than most so-called spa companies.

    Contacted DJ about a spa plumbing leak. He came out within a day or two and gave me a diagnosis of…read morewhere the leak was coming from, but he needed to order the part. DJ initially kept me updated with this backordered part. Three weeks later DJ texted me saying the part would be in on Wednesday and he would be out to finish the repair on Saturday. I never heard from DJ again, completely ghosted me. I called another spa service and they came out the next day (a Thursday), diagnosed the leak (DJ's diagnosis was WRONG) and returned the following Monday and completed the repair. Would have done it on initial diagnosis, but had to get part from shop. For 3 weeks, I had a spa that was partially torn apart (I allowed this because DJ was going to return to complete repair in one week) and then wasn't even given the courtesy of telling me what was going on. I stayed home all day on the Saturday, but DJ never showed, called, or sent me a text. What I find weird is that all of our correspondence was cordial, so I'm not sure why I was just ghosted. That said, I would avoid doing business with this person.

    The owner of this company, Rod, got right back to me within minutes. I was a little panicked…read morebecause my pool wasn't operating properly and I was about to have a large pool party. Despite the fact it was after hours (evening before the party), Rod actually spent 20 minutes with me via FaceTime to diagnose the problem, assist me with repairing a valve and priming a pump. He provided me with specific instructions and he was able to get everything working again all via FaceTime. HE DIDNT CHARGE ME ANYTHING! He was sympathetic to my time critical situation, and he genuinely wanted to be helpful. He would not accept any money despite my insistence. You just don't see this type of authentic integrity anymore. Excellent work ethic, extremely knowledgeable, quick response, and he didn't feel right charging me simply because he wasn't there in person. The FaceTime instruction was extremely educational and his thorough step-by-step guidance was spot on. He was very patient with me. Other companies said it would be $475 just to come out and take a look. This is the only company I will use for all my future pool service needs. Hard to find people like Rod these days.
