    The Family and I decided at the beginning of the year to have a pool installed at our home. After a couple of estimates I chose to use Murphy pools and spas although his pricing was very Resonable that is not why I decided to go with Brian. As a fellow trades man I liked the personal interaction with Brian and could tell he wasn't just a salesman but would be working hand and hand every step of the process. Construction went fairly smooth with a couple unanticipated hiccups along the way on both of our ends which were always resolved. Brian was receptive of changes I wanted to make along the way and was always helpful with professional input. Brian truly takes pride in giving the best possible product and is very attentive to detail all in all we are very pleased with our invest and would use Brian again on future homes.

    In 2020, we hired Murphy's Pool and Spa to convert our backyard into a personal paradise. We began our backyard transformation right before/during the pandemic. Brian was excellent at catering to our vision. Three years later, we admire our pool daily and are happy that we chose Murphy's Pool and Spa to design our beautiful paradise. Brian provided us with quality workmanship through and through. Although we had our pool built just over three years ago, we know that Brian is just an email away if we have any problems or questions. Brian was also very helpful in providing us with guidance on pool maintenance and cleaning. We highly recommend Brian and Murphy's Pools. Thank you!

    Our infinity pool.  We love it.  Thanks Brian.

    Murphy Pools and Spas did a great job on the design and construction of our pool. It was not easy for Brian Murphy because we wanted an infinity pool which offered many challenges. But Brian did it. He did it right and the cost was very reasonable compared with other quotes we received. After the pool was constructed, Brian was always there if we needed him to take care of maintenance and any concerns we have had.

    We moved to the AV Jan 2021 and was fortunate to buy a house during these challenging times with a decent sized backyard to build a pool. I called around in Feb and talked with several companies about pool construction, estimated costs and timelines. In August, I finally decided to build so it would be ready by Spring 2022. I went with Murphy's Pools because they had the better availability and pricing. Brian Murphy contracts and quality checks all of the major work (excavation, rebar, tiling, coping and plaster) but he personally does quite a bit (PVC, pool equipment, clean-up, electrical, etc...) I have no complaints of his or any of his contractor's work, also they ensured the area was cleaned up following every job. Brian is a stand-up guy and completely transparent and when on-site, will explain everything. He also had a guy that did secondary gates for me to pass inspection. Also, Brian was willing to make some last minute design changes/add-ons like a plantar and stacked stone veneers and auto-fill. He also gave me good advice on the type of landscaping I should do so it won't compromise the pool. It is obvious Brian has been doing this for quite a while. Claudia Murphy worked with me on the scheduling, tiling and brick. She took her time to bring materials out to me so I can get a visual on what I wanted and how it would look all put together. Since I wanted veneers, she told me spray it with water so I can get a visual of how it looks wet and dry...something I would've never thought about. She was very nice and courteous with me throughout the entire process. Every time I called the office, she immediately passed my message to Brian. 2-3 months after my pool completion, I couldn't recall how to do something. Brian responded immediately on a Sunday via email and even stopped by as well. So overall, Murhpy's Pools and Spas did a wonderful job. We love our pool and even though it is still cold, we are using/enjoying it. ****Everything below are just things to think about**** This is my very first time owning a pool. The following things are something that you should consider if you plan on building a pool and Brian will go over it with you...but figure I put this out there. ***1. Find a design on the internet of other pools to get an idea of what you want. Its best to bring that up front to your design process. 2. The size and grading in the backyard will ultimately drive your design. For example, I wanted the spa closer to my patio but it didn't seem right because my backyard is higher closer to the rear back wall and it slopes down. The spa seemed more fitting in a higher point of the backyard. 3. This is a major construction and your backyard is going to be dusty throughout the entire process. 4. Parking will be limited in front of your house throughout the process. ***5. You need to water the Gunite 4-5 times day for 14 days to help with the curing process...difficult if you're working full-time or travel. ***6. Supply is limited during these COVID times, so I was very limited in the bull nose brick style and tile...I had to settle but it came out great. In-fact, I wanted a totally different style of coping but that was a change that was too late to do. Be sure of what you want at the start of the process. ***7. You need a pool start-up contract. This requires 7 days of cleaning and chemicals and twice a week for 8 weeks. After that, it can decrease to once a week cleaning. They need to come out immediately after the pool is filled and pumps are turned on. 8. Take pics of all your piping so you know where not to dig in the future. 9. You have to fill-up your pool manually which requires you to monitor it. You don't want to overfill it nor can you stop it mid-way. I set alarms throughout the night to wake me up so I can check it. It took about 18 hours to fill.

    When we decided to build a pool in our backyard, we met with some of the AV pool builders and by far Brian at Murphy Pools & Spas was the most knowledgeable and personable. We really liked how he explained the entire process so we could have a better understanding of what we were getting ourselves into. He drafted a pool design for us that exceeded our expectations and the results speak for themselves. We love our pool and spa. We have witnessed Brian go above and beyond. Now after completing our pool, Brian continues to come over to monitor our pumps and take care of our pool as if it was his own. He is dedicated to his work and it shows. We are glad to have chosen Murphy Pools and would recommend it to anyone.

    Gap between planter and concrete

    We hired Brian to start our pool project. We talked about completion dates and he verbally told us 7/13 to what I thought ok maybe the first week of August because of delays. On his contract he wrote completion date 8/25. We are now at 8/26 and still waiting on the pool to be done. Brian needs to work on his communication skills. For one I have pets that need to be put away if him or his crew where coming to work. He never once rung the door bell to inform us he was there. He will not tell us when anything was going to happen. Once my husband asked him when where his guys coming since they failed to show up on the day he told us,and he answered very rude stating he did't know that he was only aware of his own personal schedule. I think as a contractor you should keep your customers informed of every step of the way. His wife is really nice. I had dirt and dead grass in my backyard for 3 months. After he told us yes I'm very clean I pick up as I go. Not the case! My friend had schedule an estimate with him and cancelled after she heard of my story. Now to think we wont even be able to enjoy our pool for Labor day weekend makes me very upset. My girls have been very anxiously waiting for the pool to be done. He leaves empty bottles of whatever drinks he has during work laying around in my back yard. One Day I came home and his tools where all laying on the grass still connected to the electricity. Very irresponsible to leave heavy duty tools laying around. Also the cement around our pool was supposed to start from our planter 3 feet to the copping of the pool. Well he decided to make the pool way too far from the planter and now we have a gap of dirt of about 6"!!! Can you believe he could not add this 6" to the concrete. " because on the contract he wrote 3 feet around the pool" Small things like this made our experience stressful. We had to compromise on the Copping because he order the wrong size and our pool would have look ridiculous if we allowed him to install the copping around our Jacuzzi, so we decided to be understanding and change our design. But he could not compromise and give us the concrete around the pool how we had wanted and discussed with him?! After I posted my review he came to my house to talk to me about it and wanted me to change my review. I told him nothing I said was not true and he told me that he did not understand why I needed an adult at home when they where working and my Two daughters where home alone. " it's peace of mind for me " in case of an emergency while building there is an adult at home. The vacuum cleaner was included in the price and written in contract he kept asking if we wanted to buy one from him. We had to remind him it was included on the contract. Even on the day he came to collect the last payment he was still questioning the vacuum. It took 4 inspections to pass our last inspection not because of anything we did wrong in our part everything passed it was his construction that did not pass. At the end he talked to the inspector to sign it off. I'm not sure what the deal was but it happened. We finally got our paper work 9/24/2020 and today he still came and did some Work in our pool. I don't recommend this contractor to no one.

    Murphy Pool and Spa is very professional Business and does excellent work. Brian built us a beautiful Pool and spa 5 years ago that our family has enjoyed! I recently reached out to Brian because my pool heater needed service and he responded promptly. I am very happy my husband and I choose Murphy's Pools to do the job

    Work done by Murphy's Pools.

    We recently got our pool installed by Murphy's Pools. The owner Brian did all the work. He was at our residence every day for the last two months getting the pool done. The pool was planned to be completed in three months Brian got it done in two months. My back yard looks unbelievably beautiful. Victor and I are so pleased with his work. I highly recommend Murphy's Pools. Brian and Claudia Thank you.

    I purchased a new home last year and knew I wanted a pool. I began my research on Yelp and wanted Murphy Pools to build my pool as they had the highest ratings. Brian was booked up and could not build my pool until later in the year. I contacted several of the other builders in the area and decided to wait for Murphy pools to be available. I am very glad I waited, they did an amazing job. Brian and his wife Claudia run the business and they are so easy to communicate with. If you have questions or concerns they always get right back to you. I have several dogs and they put a fence up to make sure they didn't get out or injured during construction. Murphy pools just made everything so easy. I have already recommend them to one of my neighbors.

    Brian created a desert oasis in our backyard. He and his workers completed our entire yard, pool, spa, concrete and grass. He also added lighting and plants. It is truly beautiful. The pool lights are multicolored and can be controlled from the comfort of my own home. There was an issue with getting the Omnilogic system set up, but Brian worked with me to help it get figured out and contacted his rep several times until it was all working properly. Brian also offered me options like pebble sheen drains that did cost extra, but was worth the extra money. He also offered me wifi sprinklers which actually have been great as I can turn on or on my sprinklers from a distance and it tracks wind and rain so it was a great upgrade. The backyard lights that he added are great and very bright which is what I wanted to light up my yard. The best part about the lights are that they are wired so need to do worry them running out of battery or working intermittently. They are also automatic and turn on at sundown. Brian was a really good communicator via email. It was helpful to get any questions or concerned answered when needed. Brian also is a very honest man which helps with trust building. The only concern with the project was that it took longer than expected.

He is prompt, courteous, honest and does a thorough job. He knows everyone in the area that does any work in pools. If there is a job he can't do- he knows where to point people. I like to have him take a look at any home my client is purchasing with a pool; especially first time pool owners who may not understand or know anything about pool equipment and maintenance.

He had the nerve to tell me to basically shut up in my own house and would make stupid ignorant comments. I tried to be polite the hole time but he was upset because I didn't buy my pentair panel and Led lights from him. That's was all his fault for ignoring my calls and text terrible customer service! When I got annoyed and tired of his behavior i challenged him to fight he got scared and said I don't wanna fight then why treat a customer like your a big shot. Don't recommend him to fix or install any pool equipment! He has no knowledge about installing pentier products, also couldn't install a spa led light.

Got a few quotes and went with Edward because the price was reasonable and had good reviews and multiple reviews, scheduled something with him the next day. He came out let me know ahead of time did his thing and even installed higher quality quick disconnect fittings.. was done in a Timely manner and clean job all around. Let it dry and pool was functioning better then ever.. no more air bubbles in the return side. Next morning a just a bit of an issue, he came out instantly and took care of it as he guaranteed his work.. repaired it and all good now. I like stand up people and people who back there work as i do. 6 stars if i could.

Whenever I had an issue with the pool I would reach out to Edward and instead of an explanation he would be very short and just respond "ok" or not respond at all! I had some issues with the pool filter several times where after awhile the pressure would decrease and the waterfall would not flow into the pool and the pool would not filter correctly. I would ask him to look at it or let me know if there was something wrong and how we could fix the issue. He would service the pool and never do anything about the issue. This issues started causing the pool to turn cloudy and his response was the pool is being over used, when in fact we hadn't used the pool in 2 weeks. He would charge me one time fees here and there of $60 $80 or $50 due to extra chemicals needed. Then he increased our monthly service charge twice in a 3 month period, which I never complained about I just wanted the pool maintained properly. Just seemed like he wanted more and more money to do the job he was hired to do! At some point I decided to do some research on my own to fix the issue I found out backwashing the filter would fix the issue so I did that and the filter started working properly, Edward said I needed to add DE when I back wash it and he would add it but was very rude and said he had to charge me $80 I told him I could add it myself and not to worry about it. He then said I was contaminating the pool and he would no longer service my pool, all because I didn't pay him $80 to add DE that cost only $5!? Edward it seems you are the one who is upset! Your response to my review obviously struck a nerve! You never did anything complimentary, and I have always paid to service the filter, you are the one who said it was included in the service then tried to charge me for it! i never complained about the extra charges! And trust me I can afford my pool and to pay an unprofessional person like you to maintain it! Look at the way you respond to your customers you are a joke! I hope you can learn to value your clients and learn how to be a professional before your business goes to shit, just like you PENDEJO!
