I love spending time in and around my pool and I am there every day-in fact it's tough to go on vacation when I have such a beautiful place at home to enjoy Recently I had a minor problem with auto fill and they came out immediately to fix it even though my pool was built three years ago. Everything is back to running perfectly and it still looks brand-new. Definitely worth every penny I spent to build and maintain it. Check it out in San Diego Home and Garden June edition 2016.

What a pleasure it was to work with Bart's crew: competent, hardworking and pleasant. Bart is a good communicator, keeping us informed every step of the way. He does not shy away from problems and meets them head on. The outcome is Spectaculor! He changed a water feature into a fire feature, stopped a vanishing edge wall from leaking, created a gorgeous patio out of Cantera stone and gave our outdoors a resort-like look. BRAVO!

When he cleaned out our filler he sprayed the filters out over a gravel /deck landing which then washed out all the dirt beneath and has caused the deck landing to disintegrate and wash away. Not only that, the DE has left a mess that now has to be cleaned up before I can even repair the dirt and deck landing. I really liked the service from you and Becki, but the technician I wonder sometimes of he even did anything. There were days he was only here for a few minutes. Other days he had someone inside the truck that he was bringing to our home. A girl, maybe his girlfriend? Is that normal practice? If I had noticed this sooner I wouldn't have paid the invoice for the filter service. I have since hired a new pool service which has noticed a drop in pressure ,same as before your filter service, and now 2 weeks later I have to pay someone else again for the same service your technician supposedly just performed. What a complete waste of time and money AND damage to my property. Also, the chemicals also had to be redone the week after your company's service . There was barely any chlorine in the water. I was left less than satisfied with your company in the end and being ignored when I raised the issue was less than professional. Perhaps that's a theme.

Their price for regular maintenance is reasonable, but their charges for parts and services, like draining and cleaning, are exorbitant.

They came out and sanded around my skimmer lid as well as removed and reinstalled all of the loose tile on my spillway between the spa and pool. I am glad that in the end they made right what they could. I will also say that they offered to have their team come work on the pavers to improve the uneven cuts the other contractor left. While I am frustrated that they recommended a contractor that wasn't good, the poor quality of that work is not theirs to own. I thank them for the things they did fix, I just wish it didn't have to hinge around a yelp review.

We…read moredid a big backyard remodel and were initially trying to decide if we wanted to go with a landscaping company that would subcontract the pool just to keep it under one roof. I am so incredibly glad we didn't do that and chose to go with SD Pools instead. We initially met with Josh, who walked us through everything (timeline, cost, the process, etc). Once the build started, we worked with our project manager, Enrique, who went above and beyond to make sure things happened in a timely fashion and that we would be happy with the final project. Chad has been handling our maintenance for the last month and has been absolutely fantastic. And they were always a text or call away to answer any silly questions throughout. You can truly tell that this team takes pride in their work. They are communicative, easy to work with, above and beyond helpful, and the pool itself is absolutely gorgeous. Everything turned out exactly how we wanted. Got my baja shelf and we're ready to summer lol. I can't say enough good things!

The communication is great, service is top notch and they are all around great people.
