We've worked with many contractors, but CAC stands out as one of the best! We had a fantastic experience building our pool with them. From start to finish, they were professional, communicative, trustworthy and quick. They built a gorgeous pool for us and kept everyone on time with no games. I have no hesitation recommending them. read more

Coastal Aquatic creations did an amazing job building our pool. They were so professional and followed up on everything like clockwork. Our pool has since been featured on Selling Sunset and won "Pool of the Year". If you are looking for an outstanding team of professionals this is the company to chose. Matt was so great with the follow up and Michelle was very helpful in picking out the tile. I cannot thank them enough for the excellent work and follow up. I would recommend them to my family and friends. read more

CAC handled our major backyard remodel, which transformed our drab 70s style pool into a fabulous modern escape, demo and install of new hardscaping around the pool and patio area, as well as building a fire pit and outdoor kitchen island. Matt and his team are extremely knowledgeable and have a strong handle on modern backyard designs, which is exactly what we were looking for. He guided us through every step of the process and worked so hard to make our backyard dreams come true. Timelines were only delayed due to weather, which was obviously out of his control. All kinks during the remodel were worked out to perfection! And after a whole year from completion of our project, I am still able to contact CAC with questions/concerns and they get back to me in a very timely manner. read more

I loved my experience w/ CAC. Once we got past the laborious LA City permitting process, CAC had a tight and accurate timetable and we ended the project on time and on budget. Wow! In fact, CAC moved so diligently at times that I had to keep up w/ their schedule. Think about that: how often does the homeowner need to keep up w/ a contractor. The team is professional (no mess after each day, respectful w/ parking, no littering, punctual), knows what they are doing (very sound counsel, been there done that experience), and confident in their work. Thank you!!! read more

Working with Matt was a real pleasure and he was able to build exactly what we wanted for our backyard. When we initially started asking for quotes, Matt stood up among all the other pool builders by his responsiveness and interest in getting to know our needs. He followed up with us consistently until we finally decided to start our project. Everything went very smoothly from beginning to end. He gave us wonderful suggestions to make more use of our space and the results are amazing. Also, he is not only an expert in pools, but also in hardscape. We decided to rebuild our BBQ with him, and it looks a million times better than it did when it came with our brand new house. Definitely a company that I would recommend to anyone who wants to see their project completed fast without compromising quality or overpaying. read more

I can't say enough great things about Matthew and Coastal Aquatic. As far as communication goes, he is the by far the best. Super responsive and always follows up in a timely manner. He gave us many recommendations along the way since this was our first time building a pool/outdoor living space. His team also worked very quickly and were all very kind and professional. The whole project took less time than quoted, and the results far exceeded our expectations. read more

We originally contacted Coastal Aquatic Creations over seven years ago for a bid on a pool. At the time they reviewed well, were reasonably priced, communicative, and our likely contractor of choice. We ended up holding out for a major remodel in 2018 and circled back to them when bidding out the pool again. Again, they were ahead of the pack in terms of being reasonably priced and lovely to go through the bidding process with. They also had an extensive portfolio which made navigating the sea of options considerably easier. This was especially appreciated once the deep decision making fatigue had set in from the remodel. I can't say enough good things about this team, but I'll try to do some justice: 1) They're navigation of the rather extensive permitting process was exceptional 2) They held an excellent balance between letting our personal style come through while steering us away from poor decisions 3) Our pool and cover are wonderfully efficient and our hot tub heats up brilliantly fast. Like 15 minutes fast. I love it. 4) The one technical obstacle we encountered was quickly resolved by the manufacture's field rep, Dirk. He was awesome too and is a testament to Coastal Aquatic's broader team being so honed. And last but not least, these are simply lovely people to work with. They do contractors proud and should be the first (and last!) pool contractor anyone talks to before building a pool. read more

As a first-time home buyer with renovations, everything was new for us. We purchased our home with the intention to build a pool right away and Coastal was able to exceed all of our expectations. They were incredibly transparent, responsive, communicative and professional. Our new pool is stunning and we could not have asked for a better outcome. read more

We had such a great experience building our pool with Coastal Aquatic Creations. Their 25 years in the business was apparent as they worked through a number of issues we had with city planning, where other companies we had contacted had no idea where to even begin. They were incredibly knowledgeable, always available and they effectively answered all of our questions throughout the entire construction process. All of their suggestions (slightly raised spa, baja shelf, water features) work perfectly for our growing family. We cannot thank them enough for giving us a backyard we can thoroughly enjoy! My partner and I loved working with Coastal Aquatic Creations. Matt & his team gave us great ideas and, in the end, made our pool and spa better than we could have imagined. They were professional, easy to work with, and they communicated with us every step of the way. Thanks to Matt and his power team, our backyard looks like a beautiful resort! We have already recommended many people to them and will continue to do so!   Coastal Aquatic Creations is a top-notch company to work with. So professional and friendly from the start. We were informed of every detail and the process was seamless. Our pool looks amazing and it ended up being slightly less than the original budget. We couldn't be happier! read more

As we were planning our home remodel project and dreaming of putting in a pool, all of my favorite project pics on Houzz were from this company. I never dreamed I would have the luxury of working with them. But heading into contracting with another firm, we got cold feet and I decided to see if CAC would give us a bid. From the first interaction I got the sense that I was talking to folks who really knew their stuff, and their customer experience was excellent right out of the gate. Each step of the project was executed exactly as described, for the precise cost and timing that was outlined. Always courteous and punctual, they put the best craftsmen, materials and equipment into our new pool. Fast forward a few months and the pool Coastal Aquatic Creations built for us is exactly what we dreamed. It's the gem of our beautiful new home. To say I highly recommend CAC is an understatement. I admire their work, their integrity, creativity and execution. They have earned my highest endorsement. Thank you guys! read more

Putting in a pool is a HUGE decision, but going with Coastal Aquatic made it such an easy one. Matthew is a real pro, took care of so much of the planning and was so knowledgable, he made us feel at ease. He was always quick to reply to our many questions/concerns, even though they are a busy company. We don't have a huge backyard, but they were able to accommodate us and helped us choose the best shape/size for our yard. The actual construction was way less of a headache than I had imagined, and they were able to move relatively quickly to get the job done. The result is a GORGEOUS pool and spa that has transformed our backyard, and already paid for itself in family bonding time. We are so happy with the investment we made, and grateful to Coastal Aquatic for being such reliable partners. read more

This is a response to Matt`s reply to my review. Despite what he claims, he and his employees are anything but courteous and professional, and aside from their rudeness, the property damage caused by his employees cost a bundle to fix. Regarding "working closely with our clients and their neighbors", Matt seems to be delusional. His workers managed to antagonize the neighbors by doing everything from blocking the neighbor`s access to their own yard to urinating on the neighbor`s lawn. Regarding being "unable to confirm ever doing business with a client going by the name of this reviewer", I had a different last name previously. Matt replied quite some time after I posted my review. Anyone who is considering using them and wants more information is welcome to message me. read more

This is a great team to work with. One of the best contractors I've hired (and I've worked with many). On time, on budget, always reachable and willing to help with a good attitude. Hard to ask for more! read more

I had a great experience with Matt and his team. I've had experience with many other contractors in the past, but Coastal Aquatic blew all of them out of the water. Not only is Matt very knowledgeable about his craft, but he is a real pleasure to work with and will go out of his way to accommodate your needs. I highly recommend this company. read more

I am thrilled with the work of Coastal Aquatic Creations. When we first met with Matt he explained to us what he recommended we build for our modest-sized backyard. He also told us the cost, and the timing involved. He delivered in every aspect. We love our pool and spa, and he was on budget and on time. We love our new backyard. Since then on occasion I have had minor issues or questions for Matt, and he immediately responds and follows up promptly. I would unhesitatingly recommend Coastal Aquatic. read more

Matt is an excellent pool expert. Got my pool done about 4 years ago with coastal aquatic creations and every time I look at it I still smile because it looks like it was done yesterday. A big thank you to the team at coastal aquatic creations for making many customers like myself happy read more

We just love our pool! Coastal Aquatic Creations did an awesome job remodeling our pool! Our previous pool was in sad shape. We did a complete remodel and we added a spa. Matt and his team of experts helped us plan out the new design and knew exactly what would work best for us. We like to entertain so the size of the spa was especially important to us and we had a lot of questions for the team. They all came through with flying colors. Since the team was onsite daily, we developed a friendship with Matt, Michelle and Drew and we look forward to recommending them to all of our friends and family. Thanks guys for a job well done! Let's go swimming! read more

Matt is a rip off artist. We paid him $1000 to get started with the plan and all he delivered us was a child's drawing of a pool on a plain 8x10 piece of paper scotch taped to a generic engineering plan that cost $65. When I questioned him he lied and said he gets charged $650 for the engineering plan. So for $1000 we got absolutely nothing. So we jumped ship. Be very careful. read more

Coastal Aquatic Creations is an incredible company. They transformed my hodgepodge, humdrum backyard into a luxury resort. Matt Barash is a true professional. He offers creative input, is on time, and on budget. Working with him and his crew was a surprisingly positive experience. I highly recommend Matt and his team if you want the outdoor space of your dreams and want it hassle-free. read more

We had the most wonderful experience building our pool with Coastal Aquatic Creations. The design phase was collaborative. Matt - who runs the company - listened to our ideas. He offered us the benefit of his many years of experience. We got exactly what we envisioned and more! There were no surprises during construction. The workmen were responsive and respectful and tidy. There were no hidden costs. The time frame from start to finish was as promised. Matt was always upfront with us about ever phase of our project. We are thrilled with the final product. read more
