    I had the slab leak for many years. I got quotes from different pool companies for replastering, but I didn't really like the look of plaster. Central OC wasn't the cheapest, but they are very knowledgeable, polite and seems trustworthy. They recommended pebble and had samples and that's the look I like better. During the work, they kept me updated with the progress. Even though the project was delayed due to rain and other issues, but Central OC delivered what they said they would. Surprisingly, all their workers are so polite and nice, which is hard to see nowadays. They follow through the entire process made the experience hassle free. I would highly recommend central OC.

    OC Pools recently did a micro pebble resurfacing and replaced some of my aging plumbing on my pool. The overall experience was positive. Michael was honest and straight forward. The team was good about communicating. Ther crew showed up on time, cleaned up after themselves and were respectful. They did an overall good job. I am happy to recommend OC Pools.

    We had a fantastic experience remodeling our pool and spa with Central OC Pools! Michael and team were friendly and knowledgeable, letting us make the choices that were best for us with their expert opinion in advisement. They also suggested some quality of life improvements like an auto filler that were absolutely worth it! The price was reasonable for the quality and the results are gorgeous, a huge upgrade from our chipped plaster and worn tile.

    My husband and I could not love our pool any more than we do! We began with an Anthony Pool from the 60's that looked terrible and was beyond outdated. I saw reviews for OC Central Pools after talking to one of the largest pool contractors in OC who gave us terrible service. Michael and his team were a dream. The ladies in the office were friendly and kind and would return calls and messages promptly. If there was anything they couldn't answer, we could easily speak to Michael directly. I was very picky about how things were done and Michael and his team were patient and accommodating. In addition, his workers were wonderful. Some of the most hardworking guys I've ever met! Our family loves having events and parties at our place. My granddaughter had her Winter Formal dinner here on Saturday for 20 friends. Before the remodel, we couldn't have accommodated such a large crowd, and we could have fit many more! Trust me, you cannot go wrong with OC Central Pools. You'll be thrilled with the results!

    We're really happy with how the pool turned out--it looks great! Michael and his team were professional and easy to work with, taking care of any issues that came up along the way. They followed through on their commitments and finished everything on time. Thank you, Central OC Pools!

    We had bids from several other companies along with Central OC Pools. Their price beat everybody's by a bunch. We were concerned that maybe we wouldn't get the quality. They did a fantastic job! Their quality was superb, which made it a great value. His staff, Astrid and Gina were in contact with me nearly every day. Their subcontractors were conscientious, clean, and experts in their fields. We highly recommend Central OC Pools.

    Central OC Pools is by far the best Pool Company we've ever had. We made the switch a few years ago and so happy we did. They do our weekly service. The price is very reasonable and our Tech does a great job. We also just had them Mini Pebble our Pool. The cost was unbeatable. Michael, Gina, Astrid and Manuel were great at communicating and always updating me. They were extremely helpful, informative, professional, but super friendly. The work on the Mini Pebble and Tile came out absolutely beautiful. We are beyond happy and can't wait to enjoy it. Thank you so much Central OC Pools!!!

    Awesome!

    See all

    Ask the Community - Central OC Pools

    Are you a PentAir dealer?

    We install specialize in installing Pentair, Jandy, and Hayward products, to name a few. We are also certified installers for Pentair but do not sell just the parts alone without install.

    Do you resurface fiberglass pools?

    Hi Marlene, yes, we do resurface fiberglass pools. Usually, fiberglass is applied on top of the old pool plaster. We would remove the fiberglass first, then remove the surface layer of plaster to give us an adequate surface to apply the new plaster… Read more

    Hi, Do you work on above ground hot tubs?

    We just do in ground pools and spas. However I hear Jim with Turbo Spas is great for above ground spas. Best of luck!

    Do you do acid washes and, if so, can you give me a ballpark figure for acid washing a 27,000 gal pool?

    Hello, I'm so sorry, we aren't doing acid washes at the moment. If it's older plaster, the acid can and will cause a rapid acceleration of the aging of your pool. If it's pebble or your pool isn't that old, then yes, an acid wash isn't a bad idea.… Read more

    I know there is a ballpark for the price of a new install (and no doubt a lot that goes into the price differences), but can someone tell me what a pool and spa may cost? Is 30,000-40,000 close?

    Hello, that is a great question. While there are a lot of variables that go into it, it would definitely be more than $40,000 for a new pool and spa install. We are currently focusing on remodels, repairs, and weekly pool maintenance at the moment… Read more

    Had one of the owners come to our property while Our pool…read morewas being replastered. He checked everything out and we had a great conversation. He assured me that they can service my pool and do the startup. I stayed in touch with all of them through the plastering phase to keep them updated on when to come out. They assured me multiple times all was well and they would be ready to go. All the other pool companies I turned away after we agreed on price. On the day of startup, they came out and he spent a ton of time on the phone in the front of my house. No update from him, he left and I get a random text that my house is out of their service area. I told them that makes no sense as we have been in touch for a few weeks and I was assured all was good. They opted to not take my pool on and told me to contact someone else. They said they wouldn't charge me for the visit like they did me a solid..i just don't get it. All I asked was for transparency and not leave me in a position to call back the other pool companies and ask for a quote. I said, since you made a mistake and it's out of your service area, can you just finish the start up you promised me and I'll find another company to do the maintenance. They said no. After a pool is replastered, it's a crucial time to ensure everything is moving in the start up phase and they almost screwed me over. It's an expensive project to replaster and none of that was taken into account on their behalf. I'm very disappointed in how this company handled my service.

This service manages the pools of my condo association/community and I have numerous emails each month sent for the past year + of the same issues over. And over. And over again. Honestly, I don't know why this company even gets paid to do their job, because it isn't being done. Whether the water is low, hot tub is not hot, pools self draining, not clean (the pools were shut down by the health department under this sham of a company), or timers that don't work and waste community money because the hot tub runs 24/7. Prior to this joke of a company coming in, all pool equipment was replaced yet there always seems to be a problem. This company should be surcharged, sued, and put out of business for their professional (lack of it) negligence in attempting to clean/maintain a pool. Absolutely avoid avoid avoid. Ps. They cannot seem to read either, the work orders asking for maintenance and repairs are so simple a monkey could understand it. Disgusting that this company takes money from people, companies and hoas for their ineptness.

I was told someone would call later that day to confirm what time the technician would arrive. I didn't get a call and almost noon the next day I called if someone was still coming. The person who answered wasn't sure but said he'd look into it. A few hours later, the technician arrived and diagnosed the problem. Then he said he would come back the following day with the parts needed. The one star I deducted is only because of the lack of clarity of the appointment. But the work itself was 5 stars and the charges were in line with the estimates. The technician (I think his name is Mike?) was efficient and did a great job. He was nice - we even exchanged bucket list travel destinations. (One of his was glass igloos in Iceland - now I'd like to experience those, too!) I wouldn't hesitate hiring them again. If I had read the more recent reviews, I may not have gone with them, but I'm glad I did. Service was performed 6/8 and 6/9
