It's been five months since Shaun started construction and it's been a nightmare.. I had a gut feeling not to hire him but he had the lowest bid so I went for it But then came the change orders and takes the price way over what he quoted.Be carful when it comes to writing the contract if he verbally says he's going to do something it's a lie he's going to play dumb and act like you didn't talk about it make sure it's in writing!! As far as quality of work it's the worst I've seen. Every thing is just slapped together I could go on about this for days how he tried to get away with piping buried under only 2 inches of dirt and when confronted he says he'll fix it then months go by He basically took my money dug a whole and left to get new jobs my advice is stay away from this guy the saving is not worth the headache Use a different company read more

See all

We have used Estate Pools for many jobs, for over 15 years, including design & installation of an inground spa, solar panels, lighting, grading, concrete work, pool maintenance & more. Shawn, the owner has been a reliable & competent contractor on all the jobs. He & his crew show up on time, do the job as promised and for the estimated price. Highly recommend. read more

One of the unique things about Shawn that you may not get with other pool companies is the turn-key process and Shawn's personal day-to-day involvement. An example is the excavation process. Shawn minimized the post-installation landscape project by leaving us with a professionally-graded landscape surrounding. This significantly reduced our landscape costs. When talking with other pool companies, we just couldn't get the information or commitment we needed to ensure a cost-friendly completion to the backyard project beyond the pool. Shawn worked with us. And when the pool was completed, we simply concluded that it was better than our expectations going into the project. Design, color, materials, equipment, etc., Shawn delivered a top notch product. Generous solar panels, hydraulic pool cover, indoor and outdoor pool controls, simple pool maintenance design and more. We're very happy with the service Estate Pools provided in constructing our pool. read more

I first met the owner of Estate Pools Shawn many years aqo. After being in the pool industry myself as a designer and pool maintenance contractor. I was going to be critical with whom I would hire to build my pool. I interviewed all the established companies that built in our area. Most of which I was familiar with due to my many years working in the industry. Shawn stood out over his competetors for two reasons. 1st, He did not talk down to me. He listened to my ideas and desires as a homeowner as well as someone experienced in his industry. Although much has changed since I was servicing and designing pools the basics are still the same. 2nd, Shawn was willing to work within our timeline, budget and simple design. His experience in his trade was obvious. And as an owner builder I am positive Shawn will build us a great pool. So far 4 stars, When the project is complete I will add to my review. read more

I found Shawn/Estate Pools searching the internet for pool builders near Monterey. I discovered he did the pool at Lover's Point and Bernardus Lodge. I called up there and they highly recommended him so we took the leap not knowing what to expect. We built 2 years ago and have been very happy with the pool. He was half the cost of the bay area builders that gave me a quote, and he can do pretty much anything in construction - electrical, buildings, fences, etc. I feel like our pool is state of the art - I run everything off my phone, it cleans itself, and it balances its own chemicals. The automatic cover is awesome. I just have to backwash once in a while, scoop pine needles out occasionally and call Shawn to bring more chemicals when they run out. Shawn responds right away to any text message and is always willing to come over and help with anything. The pool finish and deck are beautiful. I highly recommend Shawn and Estate pools, and in my opinion, building the pool with Shawn was one of the best uses of our money ever. read more
