He came highly referred by a trusted friend and local home improvement business owner, and he absolutely delivered. James and his team built our stunning new pool complete with a raised spa, waterfall feature, and modern fire pit... all executed perfectly according to my wife's detailed design vision that they discussed at our table. She described it, he rendered a 3d image, and when we agreed, he made it come to life with precision. The finished backyard oasis is beautiful, with clean lines, high-quality materials, and thoughtful details that make it feel like a resort right at home. Everything looks and functions flawlessly. What stood out most was the reasonable pricing for such custom, high-end work... no inflated costs or surprise fees. James was straightforward from the start, and the value is outstanding compared to other quotes we considered. And believe me, I met with everyone in this town. That said, if you're going for true custom craftsmanship like this, patience is key. The project took time as they got every detail right, there will be days where unexpected things happen, and there will be bumps in the road... but the wait was 100% worth it for the exceptional results we got. Thanks, James and Pool Tek, for transforming our backyard... we couldn't be happier.

James was able to outbid all the other companies and executed the project in a timely manner with the exact specifications and style we chose upfront. We went with the pool/spa combo, with custom color pebble tech finish, Baja tanning shelf, automated Wi-Fi capable monitoring/ management lights spa features and beige color concrete finish staying well within our budget. You will not go wrong with choosing a company like pooltek for your pool installation. No hidden surprises, up-to-date equipment, and functionality, wide variety of modern designs and features.

From the moment we reached out, Mario and his team treated us like we were their only clients, giving us personalized attention that went above and beyond our expectations. They worked closely with us to ensure the project stayed within our budget without compromising on quality, and the results were nothing short of perfect. Even now, four years later, we are still extremely pleased with the look and durability of our resurfaced pool. The finish has held up beautifully, and we've enjoyed countless hours by the pool with family and friends. Recently, as we were preparing to sell our house, a few concerns were raised by potential buyers. With the pressure of being in escrow, I contacted Mario to see if he could help us address these issues. Without any hesitation, Mario rearranged his schedule to accommodate us the very same day. His prompt response and willingness to help, even with matters unrelated to the original job, were incredibly reassuring during a stressful time. Mario quickly and efficiently handled all our requests, demonstrating once again the dedication and professionalism that made us choose M&J Plastering in the first place. I can't recommend M&J Plastering enough. If you're looking for a company that delivers outstanding results and continues to stand by their work years down the road, look no further. Mario and his crew are simply the best in the business!

I called the company once and the owner once when it happened twice to let them know about an algae issue that I had to take care of myself, which I don't appreciate for $145 full service monthly and he said he quits service effective immediately because I'm not happy with the technician's subpar service. They quit on their customers when pool issues arise. He said my pool is too difficult to take care of lol! Now I'm without service. He wouldn't even give me time to find another company. I don't recommend this company unless you have newer equipment and no issues with your pool at all. They only want to do a quick 10 minute subpar service and move on to the next pool. Beware!!

I hate to rate 1 star ratings, but my experience with Daniel has been extremely negative. Daniel doesn't come regularly like Scott did, matter fact when our pool was serviced by Scott he maintained our pool weekly and made sure to take good care of us, now... we'll be lucky if Daniel even services our pool. My husband has tried to reach out to Daniel so may times thru text, but Daniel ignores it. Daniel continues to charge us for monthly maintenance and services, but does not service our pool at all. Our pool has become green and now we have to probably find another pool guy. Daniel is not an honest person and the integrity of this company is no longer something that is not valued. It's unfortunate, especially for us as the customers. I would no longer recommend this company to anyone I know or anyone looking for pool service. If I could go back in time and choose a pool company, it would not be this one unless the pool guy was going to only be Scott, unfortunately Daniel doesn't have the same work ethic like Scott. Daniel is a really nice person, but we are looking for someone to service our pool, not just be a friendly person.

He made…read moresure I knew that I was responsible for his Having to fire Daniel (Scott's son) and his loss of business due to my review. Hmmm, I'm pretty sure all that is the result of not doing the job you're being paid to do! I appreciate that Scott finally refunded my May payment because they didn't take care of my pool during May. I don't appreciate being lectured or blamed for your issues caused by your lack of concern and your son's failure to do his job. I am glad I have moved on. No more updates will follow. What a total disappointment My Pool Guy turned out to be. We kept them on when we bought our house and have some issues with Daniel not showing up because his truck was broken or he was in the ER. It became a habit and I had to start harping via text to get him to show up to service my pool which is what I paid for. Now, here we are one year later and he tells me he's going to come back the next day to clean our filters because of a lot of dirt and silt in the system. What happens? His girlfriend ends up in the ER. I called Scott about the no show because I'm tired of being treated like I don't matter and I hear NOTHING from Scott! Daniel texts me later and says he'll be here that afternoon. Ok, he shows up and cleans the filter while I'm gone but the next week his "new" truck is broken! NO SHOW AGAIN! I texted Daniel about it and he says he showed up later in the afternoon and serviced our pool. Well, we had five adults in our home throughout that day and no one saw him. My dog barks a lot to announce when someone is in the back yard and guess what? NOTHING! No one came in our backyard that day. I really detest being lied to! I have had enough! I told Scott via text that I am stopping their service because of their lack of service and told him I want my May payment refunded. He tried to act like he wanted my business at this point but it was too little too late. He has completely quit communicating with me and refuses to refund any money. Daniel came for only one service and came back to clean the filter after dropping the ball. A refund was a reasonable request. If you're looking for a pool cleaner, RUN! Scott and Daniel are NOT the guys you want. Scott only wants your money and Daniel doesn't have any work ethic and doesn't hesitate to lie to you!! I have already hired a new pool cleaner and after one cleaning, my pool looks better than it ever did with My Pool Guy.
