We had our pool built by CATAK Pools (completed Nov 2025) and overall had a really positive experience. Before moving forward, we met with 3 different contractors, and Mike was the only one who really understood our vision. We didn't want to tear out our existing concrete or patio cover, which made the project more complicated, but he was able to design around it and still deliver exactly what we were hoping for. That flexibility was a big reason we chose them. We broke ground on 9/15/25 and everything was complete by 11/10/25!!! It was crazy how fast everything went and he definitely did an amazing job coordinating all the teams to finish in a timely manner. We went with a custom setup that included a raised spa, Baja shelf, and two illuminated sheer descents, and everything came together really well. The spa might just be one of the biggest in town! The water features at night give the whole backyard a clean, finished look, with the lights. We also added the iAquaLink system, which has been super convenient for controlling everything from our phones. Like any build, there were a few minor things that came up along the way, but nothing major, and Mike has been responsive when we needed him. What stood out most is that he didn't disappear after the job was done-- Mike continues to be helpful when we've had questions or needed small adjustments. That kind of follow-through matters with a project like this, and it's a big reason we'd recommend CATAK. Looking forward to enjoying the pool for years to come and continuing to work with them if anything comes up down the line. I will add some pictures soon! read more

We have built four pools now with four different contractors over the past 20 or so years. While the first three I would consider decent projects with not too much to complain about, it became apparent that building with CATAK pools would be an eye-opening experience. The level of professionalism and expertise was something we had never experienced before in any home project including building a custom spec home, let alone a swimming pool. Attention to detail and quality was built into the entire project and Mike was leading the entire way. All aspects of the project were handled with zero headaches on our end and there weren't any surprises or "gotcha" moments, Mike handled everything and always made us comfortable with the process, valued our input, and any offered changes from us without any fuss or hassle. The execution of the project was seamless and performed in a systematic and efficient manner, even with some weather impact the whole project was wrapped up in record time. During execution the crews' that Mike used were amazing! Even though there is some noise associated with the process they were always cognizant of appropriate times and hours worked in order to keep the nuisance down to a tolerable level for us and our adjacent neighbors who commented more than once about the exemplary job the company was doing and keeping work areas and approaches clean during the process. One neighbor didn't even realize we were building a pool until it was just about finished! The finished product is beautiful and turned out better than we could have hoped for! We would recommend CATAK pools and Mike Smith for anyone who is considering building the pool of your dreams! Thanks again Mike! read more

After meeting with several pool builders who instilled very little confidence, Mike Smith and Catak Pools were referred to us. Simply put, I couldn't imagine a better experience.

I had been looking for someone to build a pool for us for some time. I spoke with several contractors, a lot who were either flaky or extremely overpriced. Then I remembered a friend of mine and her husband had their beautiful pool built a couple of years ago and it was absolutely beautiful! I asked for her recommendation, and that's how we found CATAK Pools. From the very beginning, Mike, the owner of CATAK Pools, was incredible to work with. He's professional, highly organized, and always available to answer questions. When Mike said a contractor would be on-site, they were there-on time, every time. The entire project stayed on schedule without a single delay, which is practically unheard of in this industry! Our pool and BBQ were completed in just a little over 2 months! Not only did Mike and his team build us a stunning pool, but they also designed and constructed a beautiful barbecue area that exceeded our expectations. Everything turned out absolutely perfect. I can't express enough how fortunate we were to find Mike! Top-notch quality, outstanding professionalism, and a seamless experience. Very highly recommended! I PROMISE you won't be disappointed! read more

Mike just finished our pool crack repair and pebbletec remodel. On time, on budget and excellent work. I would recommend.

Mike is your guy. I interviewed about 6 contractors. Some were nice, some talked down to me, some seemed great but never followed up. I trusted mike from the beginning because I could tell he'd been in the industry a long time. This brings friendships and relationships that can help get your job done faster. Also called every single one of the people on his referral list and they all spoke greatly of him. Our pool was done in two months and it was exactly what I asked for. I have lots of questions and I'm kind of OCD. He never made me feel bad for asking my questions and he always answered quickly. All the contractors that he used for the different parts of building the pool were extremely nice and kind. Everyone was respectful came on time And did a great job . Don't even think twice about who you're gonna hire just hire mike. read more

CATAK POOLS - Finished pool with pebble sheen and huge Baja blast - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Simi Valley, California

Mike and his team are very knowledgeable and communicative while building our pool. We have a lemon tree that's been in our backyard for over 30 years that we did not want to get destroyed while the pool was being built. That was no challenge for Mike and his team. We started with an old jacuzzi in the yard that we no longer used/needed and CATAK pools constructed a beautiful pool in place of the yard space that we weren't using - without ruining the integrity of our decades old lemon tree! Our lemon tree now sits in the deck (that CATAK created), close to the pool, delivering perfect shade for us and our loved ones who do not want to get wet, but now have a great place to sit and watch us while we swim. Mike was available for any questions or concerns we had and his team worked efficiently so that we stayed on schedule, despite having random extra work to clear out (like a concrete wall we didn't know was underground that had to be removed). We like that Mike was upfront about any extra costs from unplanned labor that was discovered (not that there were much) and that he would come to investigate and explain any inquiries that popped up during the construction. He was very professional and easy to work with. From choosing pool size, water type, coping, finishes, etc, Mike made sure we knew all our options and how the process would go with inspections and what to expect with each phase of the construction so we were never surprised. With the fantastic transformation that Mike did to our backyard we now see that there is no need to go on vacation because we have vacation in our own backyard! read more

We are first time pool owners, and we were very nervous about finding the right company to do the remodel on our existing pool. After interviewing five companies, we chose Catak Pools Inc. This was absolutely the correct and best decision we made. Mike Smith guided us through the entire process. He never once sugarcoated or underestimated what the job would entail and the project was completed on schedule. He welcomed us to visit some recent new and remodeled pools they had done(the fact that their previous customers wanted to show off their pools really says something about Catak's workmanship). If he hadn't told us which were remodeled or new we wouldn't have known. His communication was spot on throughout the entire process. He was always punctual and the different crews he used were professional and punctual as well. Always with a reassuring "everything is under control and will look beautiful", Mike & Catak were exactly what we needed. If you are building or remodeling a pool, there is only one choice. Catak Pools Inc. We couldn't recommend them more highly. read more

Working with Mike at CATAK Pools has been one of the best renovation experiences we've had as homeowners. We shopped around to find a company to refurbish our old pool and Mike was the best fit by a long shot. He was up front about the needs of the project and also listened and accommodated the changes and updates we wanted to put into the pool. His team was efficient and handled any hiccups our old pool system threw at them without issue. Mike also hunted down the tile style we picked even after the local distributers said they didn't have enough. Updating the plumbing, electrical, concrete deck and coping, and putting on a beautiful new plaster finish the pool looks fantastic. We also needed a few enclosure updates to pass inspections and Mike's knowledge base and vendors got everything taken care of promptly and done right the first time. It was a job well done and I can't recommend Mike Smith and CATAK Pools enough! read more

CATAK Pools just completed the complete remodel of our 30+ year old pool. I mean everything but the shell of the pool in the ground was replaced. New pool surface, new tile, new plumbing, new skimmer, all new equipment relocated in a new part of the yard. Finally, we topped it off with an entire new concrete deck surface that continued out to our sport court. Here's the thing about Mike, he's been there, done that. We came to him with ideas of pool design and structure that we gleaned from the internet and with no idea what was possible. Mike has 35 years building/remodeling pools here in SoCal. He was able to educate us about the structural impact and costs of our ideas, what was possible, and what was not recommended. We interviewed other pool companies, but at the end of the day, Mike's knowledge and experience left us with the feeling we were in good hands with this major investment of our home. So we signed the contract on September 21... we were filling the pool on October 26. Aside from weekends, I think there were only 3 days when there wasn't somebody working on the project, and many times more that one subcontractor at a time. All this coordination is possible because Mike has worked with this team of Subs for years. They have a process in place that fits one activity after another seamlessly. And all the Subs are nice people, eager to help, and glad to take the time to explain to the nosey customer what and why they are doing it that way. Best of all, Mike is always available. He always gets back to you promptly, by text or phone, you can expect near immediate response to your concern. Can't say enough about this pool rebuild machine that is CATAK. read more

We built a pool with Mike last year (my previous review is below). We referred him to many people who all agreed that he is the best of the best. So, when we unexpectedly sold our home and moved to a new house we didn't have to go through the drill of interviewing a bunch of companies because we knew exactly who to call to accomplish our dream pool. Once again, our dreams were made thanks to Mike and his incredible team! It's not often that people build a pool and then build another one a year later. I can confidently say that there is no one out there that will go above and beyond to turn your vision into a reality like Catak Pools. I will continue to highly recommend Mike and his team every chance I get because they truly are like no one else. 5 stars just doesn't seem like enough stars to properly explain this level of excellence. read more

CATAK POOLS - Our brand new Catak Pool is filling up!!! - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Simi Valley, California

We decided to put in a pool in 2021. We were very concerned about the pandemic and the cost of everything being much higher than usual but we thought we would explore the idea anyway. We interviewed about 5 or 6 different pool contractors and they were all very high or else we just didn't get a good feeling about them. Then Mike at Catak pools came along. His easy going personality and straight forward talk impressed us. He told us that once the design was all finalized, that the permitting would only take a couple of weeks. I was very dubious, as I had been all over Nextdoor reading nightmare stories of people waiting months for their permits. Once we got the estimate for the pool, we were actually surprised how much lower the bid was from the other contractors. Again, we were impressed that Mike delivered the bid exactly when he said he would. We decided to go with Catak, crossed our fingers and hoped for a good experience. We got our permits 2 weeks after all the plans were done, just like Mike had promised. And things went very smoothly from the very first day of breaking ground. Mike was always very responsive to my text messages and any questions that I had and would always come out and meet me if there was something that I had a question about. He also provided a comprehensive calendar of events, so we would always know what was happening, what to expect in terms of timing, and what payments were due. I really took the stress out of the whole experience. If ever there were little issues that came up (and they always do!), Mike was always there with a solution. This guy really knows the pool business. His 30+ years in the industry really shows. What really impressed us was that, even in the middle of a PANDEMIC and supply-chain shortages, he was able to come through as if it were business as usual. All of his sub-contractors were fantastic and talk about how they prefer to work with Mike than any other company. In the end, we were absolutely thrilled with how our pool came out and the whole experience with Catak Pools. I absolutely recommend them to anyone that is looking to put in a pool. Happy to answer any other questions about our experience if you DM me. Meanwhile, I will be relaxing in my Jacuzzi! Happy swimming! read more

We started the process of looking for a pool contactor back in July 2021 and after a very painful process of meeting 9 other pool contractors we found Mike through a referral. During these challenging times many pool contractors are bidding very high and using tactics to make as much money as possible while there is a huge demand for home renovation. The saying goes there is more than one way to skin a cat when it comes to a project like this, but it's the honesty and integrity of how you get to the end result that really matters. Mike has been amazing throughout the process and guided us every step of the way. He always answered our calls or responded by text as things came up. I noticed that most contractors today are so busy that their seems to be a huge lack of communication, but not the case with Mike at all. Lets get to the quality of the job and how everything turned out. We took a backyard from its original state in 1968 to an amazing oasis that we can use forever. We are very happy with all of Mike's design recommendations and especially spending the extra money on the pool cover. We started from scratch and put all new concrete deck, fire pit, outdoor kitchen and of course the pool/spa. All the tradesman that Mike works with were very clean and professional. In addition he handled everything we asked for including being able to plug in a portable pizza oven to the gas from the outdoor kitchen. I'll end with this, get lots of bids like we did and you will come to find that Mike was the best choice and we could not be happier with our decision and if you are lucky enough to get on his schedule be excited for what is about to come. If I have questions or issues even though I made my last payment months ago, he still handles it and gets me what I need. Thank you again Mike and everyone you work with as we could not be happier!!!! read more

I discovered Mike and Catak Pools from my neighbor. He did their pool and they were very happy. Here's what separates Mike from everyone else. First, he knows pools. Second, he has the best subs. They are all a delight to work with and superb. Third, every single sub showed up exactly when Mike said they will. Fourth, the project took exactly the time Mike said it would. Fifth, when a few minor issue arose, we solved them amicably and fairly. I offer Mike and Catak Pools my unqualified 5 star review. read more

We are so so pleased with our beautiful pool built by Catak Pools. Mike is very thorough. He responds quickly to text or emails which is almost unheard of in the construction industry. We had a couple minor hiccups that were easily and painlessly corrected (correct tile ordered but tile store sent the wrong tile). Our timeline was interrupted due to the much needed rain and they still finished just outside of the timeline!!!! it was 16 weeks from the day it started to the day it was filled and that included a 20 day delay due to rain. The subcontractors are top notch! They were respectful, clean, showed up on time and clearly communicated with us. They were also so helpful to answer questions on how best to do some of the options. We kept their cards for future work. We could not be happier. The saying "you get what you pay for" is for good reason. We actually did not get any other quotes because the recommendation we received for Catak (and Mike, personally) was so strong we were confident in our decision to hire him. He may be a bit pricier that other people (and I'm not even sure on that bc of the previous statemen) but it will be well well worth it in the end. One of our neighbors watched his brother's pool being built and he stated that the crews he saw at our house were "way more competent and smooth than my brother's crew". Thank you Mike and crew for creating a place where we can create amazing memories for our family for years and years to come! God Bless you. I will post a picture when I figure out how to!! read more

After many years we decided it was time to build a pool. We reached out to many pool builders to review our vision. After meeting Mike at Catak pools we knew he was the one we wanted to build our dream backyard. All of his trades and extensive background was amazing. He has a great and hard working team that collaborates amazingly with each other. We always felt informed and constantly asked before important building decisions were made to make sure we realized the oasis we envisioned. Thankfully so, since we did make some adjustments along the way. Mike was always on site and available to make the updates happen. This made it a much smoother process. Everyone keeps asking us how the process was as they all just keep hearing horror stories about the process. We didn't have any of that. We attribute this to Mike and his team always being present and open to our questions and changes if needed. Mike was at our house every day making sure the process was running smoothly. Any questions we had, Mike was always there to answer. I would recommend Mike and Catak pools without any hesitation. He and his crews were awesome. We love the final product and feel every want and need we signed up for and requested along the way materialized. Thanks Mike!! read more

This past October, we decided to build a pool in our house. We interviewed 8 builders, half of whom were ridiculously overpriced and not trustworthy. They came out with a sales pitch instead of listening to our expectations and concerns. Our neighbor recommended Catak Pools and we absolutely made the right decision by hiring Mike. Mike from Catak Pools provided us with the best quote, proposal, and expertise. From the start, Mike listened to our needs, made great recommendations, and kept us within our budget. There were absolutely no surprises, no hidden fees, and no sales pitches. I cannot say enough great things about Mike. He made a very stressful event flow flawlessly without any hiccups. Mike worked extremely fast with no down time. His entire crew was quick, accurate, placed a strong emphasis to detail, and were very professional. They are all masters of their trade. Mike finished our project within 10 weeks. He constantly communicated with us and instantly responded all of our questions. Mike even personally watered our gunite and filled our pool because we were out of town during those days. My only concern during the entire process were a couple of stains on our travertine coping that appeared once everything was finished. Mike took it upon himself to make sure these stains were removed properly and quickly. People with Mike's level of integrity and ethics are hard to find. We are extremely thankful that we found Mike and could not be more pleased with our entire process and end result. I highly recommend Mike from Catak Pools without any hesitation. If you are planning on building a pool, at the very least, you need to give Mike a call. read more

I can't recommend Mike enough- he is really the best and we are so happy with how our pool turned out. We got several pool quotes and have talked about it for years and we're told by some that we couldn't do a pool yard bc of our yard size and access. Mike was reasonably priced and really worked with us to get exactly what we have dreamed of. All of Mike's subcontractors came when they were supposed to, did a fantastic job and cleaned up when done. If mike said a trade was coming they showed up, no delays other than rain. If we wanted to do a change order or add anything, there was a open line of communication and we felt comfortable talking to Mike about what we wanted. I heard horror stories about installing a pool, but our experience was the opposite. From demo to filling the pool it was about 10 weeks. We are extremely pleased with our experience and how our pool turned out and would recommend Catak Pools if your considering building a pool! read more

When interviewing contractors for a pool/spa Mike was highly recommended. We liked Mike from day one, straight up kinda guy no bs. He took us around to look at several of his completed pools and we spoke with the owners. All the pools we looked at were beautiful and the owners had great things to say about Mike and his crews. We decided to go with CATAK pools for our pool/spa and it came out better than we could have ever imagined, and in a timely manner, once Mike and his crew got started, the whole project went quick and smooth, we couldn't be happier.

We're very happy with Catak Pools. We received bids from several companies to replaster our1960s era existing pool, but after looking at their recently completed work we were very disappointed in the quality of work. Frustrated, but knowing we would be using Pebbletec, we discovered the Pebbletec website had a recommended builder section. We found Catak Pools listed as an Elite Builder. Speaking with Mike, we quickly could tell he was very experienced and knowledgeable. Looking at a recent pool he completed sold us, we were very impressed with the quality of workmanship. So, even though his bid was markedly higher than others we received, we figured you get what you pay for. Mike was always very responsive if there was an issue, and the end result was beautiful. We can't recommend Catak Pools enough. read more

To say the least Mike from Catak pools quoted us the lowest price followed by excellent work through and through! Not only was total cost under budget but as well the work was completed in a timely manner. Clean, efficient and on time was the end result. I/ We would recommend, and already have, Catak to others. We love our newly finished Spa ann Pool, thank you so much Mike!!! read more

While I could describe the outstanding workmanship and service Mike and his crew performed on my spa and hardscape, what compelled me to write this review was Mike's willingness to work within my budget and still maintain the vision of what I wanted. Other contractors quotes simply started removing features in order to maintain their profit margin. Mike clearly shaved off profit in some areas and offered alternate options in others, while maintaining the overall vision of my project. If you want quality workmanship and service while not feeling like you were taken to the cleaners, look no further. read more

I don't normally take time to do the whole social media thing and write reviews good or bad but Mike and his crews blew me away. He was able to take my crappy drawing and vision and turn it in to my dream come true. Everyone else I had bid my job had more questions than answers for me. They made it seem like all the things that I wanted were just a hassle and would cost to much. From the moment Mike walked in the door he made the whole process seem so easy. He and his crews were also the only contractors I have dealt with that actually shown up on time when they said and worked the whole day, Day after day until the job was done. In the past when I have had pools built at other houses the crews would show up here and there and drag things out for months. Even with all the demo, grading, and redesigning of the space, my job was done in a timely manner. Last but not least, the price was more than fair. He wasn't the cheapest bid I got but I certainly got way more than I paid for in quality, detail, and with no headache. If you are looking to build a pool, or update your yard, I would highly recommend this company. read more

My husband and I bought our first house in April of this year. We didn't waste any time getting quotes to put a pool in to make our dream home complete. I met with 5 different pool companies. From the start my husband and I clicked with Mike. He was a no nonsense type of guy who gave it to us straight, gave us a reasonable quote, and made a design within the week to give us an idea of the project. The entire project took about 10 weeks. I will say putting a pool in is an undertaking. Things went wrong, some parts took longer then expected, and it was a mess outside! But Mike made every step of the project as easy as he could. He always showed up, responded to late random texts, and explained things in a way we could understand. As a result we have a beautiful pool and our dream backyard. Go with Catak Pools if you're looking for the same. read more

The level of communication Michael has with you throughout the project is outstanding and never leaving you in the dark to wonder how the project is progressing. Michael is a great contractor that will exceed your expectations from beginning to end, he really cares about making sure that your new pool is exactly what you want! The pool is remarkable at the least and will serve my family many years of lasting memories to keep forever. Make an educated decision with your pool project and go with CATAK POOLS.

Cheers! read more

After interviewing several pool builders we decided to go with Mike! Thankfully we did, it was the best experience. During our first meeting he made us feel confident, we never felt like he was salesman, and included EVERYTHING in the quote.. no hidden fees!! He made everything so easy. Communicated with us consistently though out the whole process, always called us back in a timely manner, left no down time, there were always people here when he said there were going to be, and completed everything within the time line he provided. Not to mention the fact that all of the work we had done (new pool, concrete decking, stone work, boulders..) turned out better then we imagined!!! Everyone from the electricians, to the plumbers, to the masonry guys he provides were all a pleasure to work with and did a great job. Also, you pay as you go so you know exactly where your money is going. I would definitely recommend Mike to any of my family or friends. read more
