We needed to get our pool replastered so we reached out to a few pool companies and Pool Effects…read morewere the most thorough in explaining the process and their recommendations on what needed to be done. They gave us lots of options to replace our coping and upgrade to pebble tec/tile but we were on a tight budget and they understood this. There wasn't any pressure to from them to consider the more luxury options. We ended up wanting to go with whatever needed to get done and added on their startup service. I went to the showroom to pick out tile for the waterline and they had so many options to choose from. We decided to go with the pebble tec (because of the longevity aspect) the day before they were going to plaster and they were so accommodating. Once the work started, they finished the project very quickly. Working with Fred and Eddie throughout the whole process was such a pleasant experience. I would recommend them to anyone who needs pool related work done. I cannot wait to enjoy our new pool thanks to Pool Effects!

Salvador arrived on time as scheduled. When he arrived I explained my issue again which was that…read morewater was not coming out of one of my pool returns/jets which I believed was causing poor circulation and thus pool water getting worse. Even though I have just cleaned the filters 2 weeks prior the water was still getting worse and algae growing. He took one look at my plumbing, took the sound of the pump running into account and said that my pump sounds like it's going out. I let him know that I had just replaced the pump just over a year ago with this new Variable speed one and how I utilize the valves according to how the previous home owner told me. I showed him how I move the valves to have water passed to the pool and spa to circulate both at the same time. Salvador then move the valves himself noticing something else off and the pressure began to drop. At first I got frightened not wanting to ruin the pump so immediately put the valves just back to normal. Turns out he was just trying to show and explain to me that whoever did the valve placement before did it wrong and thus how the previous owner told me how to turn the valves was incorrect as well. The suction valve was in reverse so the "off" placement was upside down. Then on the return valve the safety so that it doesn't close the whole valve fully was worn down, so while I was turning the valve how I was told to do it was actually closing the valve a bit while at the same time opening the spa return a little too. This was causing back pressure back to pump which now clicked on my head. No wonder the original pump went bad soon after I moved in and now this new variable pump I put was also going bad. He recommended I upgrade to a 2hp variable pump instead of the 1.65 I had based on my pool size and spa. He also recommended changing the size of the plumbing from suction to return from 1.5 to 2. From the interaction we just had I had the full confidence he knew what he was talking about and I felt a little bad questioning him just based on what the previous owner had relayed to me on how the pump and valve works. He gave me a price and asked how soon... 24hrs later the new upgraded pump, the new upgrade plumbing and the valves also corrected to show the true way was done. He showed me the correct way to use the valves now for both pool, spa use or individually. Once he showed me for Spa use only, I saw bubbles once again! I hadn't seen bubbles in my spa in just under a year. I checked the return/jet that was once not flowing any water now flowing nicely! And the pump wasn't even running at full rpm's but at 1400rpm. We obviously put it higher for quick clean and within 10 minutes of running we could already see the water cleaning up the green and algae! I think it helps that Salvador understood that I had complete trust in him that he also provided optimal service. I wasn't over his and his helper shoulder watching the whole installation, but stayed near by in case he needed something or to ask a question which he did. Looking back I kind of wish I would have tried to at least tried to see if the price could go down a little but to be honest I was just thinking to get it fixed asap before the water gets worse and other issues arise. With that said once everything was done I do think the price was set right. I am highly satisfied with the whole service and process and will recommend completely. I even had just a couple of questions after he had already left for the day and Salvador was happy enough to respond back and give further advice. 10/10 stars if I could. Salvador is invited to the Carne Asada.

I'm in the…read morereal estate industry, so I have very high standards when it comes to contractors, and if you've ever worked with contractors before, you know how flaky and unreliable many of them can be. Unfortunately, that was exactly my experience with the first contractor I hired. He failed to deliver, did not meet expectations, and ultimately left the job unfinished. That's when Gabriel truly came to the rescue. From the moment he stepped in, he was professional, patient, and incredibly thorough. I was beyond frustrated at that point, and Gabriel handled everything with calm, understanding, and professionalism. He listened, delivered exactly what he promised, and met my standards perfectly. The final result was absolutely beautiful. My backyard turned out amazing, and I constantly get compliments on it. On top of that, Gabriel went above and beyond by referring me to a designer who helped with the flooring. I was originally planning on pavers, but thanks to his guidance and referrals, we switched to tile, and it was the best decision. Even a year later (yes, I'm very overdue writing this review), Gabriel is still in touch. He recently helped us fix a pump that hadn't been replaced, and once again, he was responsive, helpful, and on top of everything. What I appreciate most is that he doesn't disappear on you. He stands behind his work and continues to support his clients long after the job is done. If you're looking for someone reliable, skilled, patient, and truly committed to quality work, I highly, highly recommend Gabriel. You won't regret it.

The work was top-notch, the project finished ahead of schedule, and the whole process was refreshingly easy and stress-free from start to finish. What really set Gabriel apart from the other builders I got quotes from was his no-pressure approach. There was zero hard selling and zero nonsense about unnecessary upsells. He showed up with a competitive bid and let the quality of his work speak for itself, which I genuinely appreciated. Being an attorney who litigates cases where there are disputes between contractors and homeowners, I saw nothing from the beginning through the end of the project that ever had me worried or frustrated. Supreme Pools is now my go-to recommendation for anyone looking to build or upgrade a pool. What makes them stand out is their versatility because they can handle everything from the ground up, or bring in specialized experts in tile, pebble, and electrical work to handle specific updates, upgrades, or renovations. Whatever your pool needs, they've got it covered. Five stars, without hesitation. Don't look anywhere else and feel free to message me with questions or to stop by and check out my pool.

I worked directly with Darren, who was incredibly responsive despite my hundreds of questions. He coordinated the entire startup process and chemical treatments, making everything seamless and stress free. The crews showed up every day at 7am sharp and worked steadily through the afternoon. The entire operation was professional and ran like clockwork. Their pricing was slightly higher than some others, but the end result was absolutely worth it. I saw several other companies' finished projects in person, and none of them came close to what Alan Smith delivered. Our pool literally looks like an AI generated image, it's that perfect.
