We've been using Paradise Pools for over two years, and Ethan has been absolutely outstanding. He…read morehas consistently maintained our pool twice a week, and we couldn't be happier with the level of service he provides. Living in Palm Springs, pool maintenance is a year-round commitment, and Ethan makes it effortless. He's dependable, knowledgeable, and takes great pride in his work. Our pool is always crystal clear, clean, and ready to enjoy. Honestly, I can't imagine what condition our pool would be in without Ethan. It would quickly become our responsibility to maintain, and with the Palm Springs climate, that's not something we have the time or patience to manage ourselves. If you're looking for a reliable pool service, I highly recommend Paradise Pools. Ethan has given us complete peace of mind, and we're grateful for the exceptional care he provides week after week.

I switched and after a year with this new company I can say this is not normal. They overcharged for everything. They destroyed plants breaking branches, lawn - pouring pool water on it (still can't grow back) and when the pump broke they said they'd maintain the water while we waited for repair. They not only didn't maintain it but I had to drain it 3 times in 2 months because they could even get the water balanced from scratch. They were also dishonest on occasion about repair and showing up. Nice people but not acceptable service. I caution anyone from working with these guys. It's expensive and the damage is even more expensive.

My experience with Sunkist Pools was extremely disappointing and ultimately resulted in litigation…read morethat ended with a judgment in my favor. The problems went far beyond a simple disagreement over the finished product. In my experience, the project was plagued by missed deadlines, repeated delays, days when workers were supposed to show up but did not, poor workmanship, and an unwillingness to correct work that I believed was clearly unacceptable. ### A 60-Day Project Took Approximately Five Months I was told the project would take approximately 60 days. Instead, it ultimately took about five months to complete. Throughout that period, there were missed deadlines and occasions when I was told work would be performed on a particular day, only for no one to show up. The repeated delays and uncertainty made an already significant construction project much more frustrating than it needed to be. ### Workmanship Issues I also had serious concerns about the quality of the finished work. One of the most significant problems involved a masonry wall. In my opinion, the workmanship was unacceptable. Among the issues I observed were uneven grout lines, misaligned masonry, almost every block was damaged, the wall was not plumb, and a portion of the wall appearing to sit partially off its foundation. Rather than satisfactorily addressing my concerns and making the work right, I felt I was repeatedly expected to accept workmanship that I considered substandard. I had similar concerns about tile work. When I pointed out what I considered shoddy workmanship, Al Braun's response to me was: "That's the way we do it in the desert." That response summarized much of my frustration with the project. I wasn't asking for perfection; I expected the work I paid for to be performed professionally and for legitimate workmanship concerns to be corrected. ### Demands for More Money The payment issues were equally concerning. Despite the fact that I had already paid Sunkist Pools for work that remained incomplete, Al Braun threatened to stop all work on my project unless I paid additional money in advance. I found it particularly troubling to be pressured for additional advance payments while work I had already paid for remained unfinished and I was still raising concerns about the quality of the work. ### Equipment I Had Already Paid For I paid over $10,000 in advance for pool equipment. Several weeks later, it had still not been delivered. Despite Sunkist already having my money for that equipment, when I questioned when my equipment would actually be delivered, Al Braun told me that he decides when my equipment gets delivered. As a customer who had paid for the equipment weeks earlier, I found that attitude and response unacceptable. ### The Dispute Ended Up in Court The dispute ultimately resulted in court proceedings, **Case No. CVPS2505486**. The court entered judgment in my favor, awarded me attorney's fees, and the mechanic's lien against my property was removed. Prospective customers do not have to rely solely on my description of the legal dispute. I encourage anyone considering Sunkist Pools to look up Case No. CVPS2505486 and review the public court record for themselves. ### My Experience I hired Sunkist Pools expecting a professionally managed construction project that would take approximately 60 days. Instead, my experience involved a project that stretched to roughly five months, missed deadlines, no-shows, workmanship I considered unacceptable, resistance to correcting that workmanship, demands for additional advance payments while previously paid work remained unfinished, disputes over delivery of equipment I had already paid for, a mechanic's lien, and ultimately litigation. Based on my experience, I would not hire Sunkist Pools again. If you are considering this company, I recommend documenting everything, getting all schedules and promises in writing, carefully monitoring payment requests against the work actually completed, inspecting the workmanship closely, and researching the public court record before signing a contract.

The office person clearly explained how the process would work and the cost. Robert came on time and went right to work. He clearly showed me several locations that had issues and why. Robert investigated all the areas of the pool as well as all the equipment. The resulting report was thorough and easy to follow. It was a pleasure to work with Robert and more importantly I felt confident in his findings and recommendations. If you think you may have a pool leak, you probably do - chemicals, salt, high water bills - a sign you need to call American Leak Detectors of Palm Springs 760-465-1368.

Manuel Ramirez Lopez, of Desert Sunrise Pools, was referred to us by our pool guy…read more We knew that our pool refurbishing would be a big job. We wanted the old concrete deck removed, tile replaced, new pool coping, a Baja Shelf added, and a new path along the side and front of the house. On top of that, we picked the slower, but much hotter, months of July & August for the project. All of the pool work would have to be done in conjunction with a new exterior paint job for the house and the installation of low-water usage landscaping. Our landscape project was designed and overseen by the very capable Roosevelt Alvidrez of Elements Landscape. Manuel promised he that he could work seamlessly with Roosevelt and any the other contractors on site. This proved to be the case. Since I was out of town over the summer, my wife had to w with Manuel for feedback and to offer suggestions while the work progressed. The team was always timely. We never felt like they abandoned us for days at a time to work on another job. We also had added few "change orders." Manuel rolled with everything. We warned out next door neighbors about the project and they also had no complaints. Thank goodness! Singing a contract with Manuel was easy and payments were handled accurately and with no drama. Manuel deserves his 5+ stars for delivering us such a wonderful backyard pool oasis. There is no reason why he cannot do the same for you!
