We just finished a complete renovation of our pool with Oscar's Pool Service, and I can honestly…read moresay it was one of the best decisions we've made as homeowners. When we bought our house three years ago, we knew the pool needed to be redone. Unfortunately, because of other major repairs, we had to wait. Our house was a flip, and whoever patched up the pool before us did a quick, cosmetic job that started falling apart within months. The plaster came off in sheets, the 1960s tile was covered in decades of calcium buildup, the coping was old red brick with mortar literally crumbling out, and some jets and plumbing didn't even work. The pool was technically swimmable, but it was depressing to look at. This summer our weekly pool cleaner told us the plaster was about to fail completely, so we started calling around for estimates. Most of the big corporate companies gave us inflated quotes and made us feel like just another job number. A trusted friend recommended Oscar's, so we checked Yelp, saw all the great reviews, and gave him a call. Oscar came out immediately, took careful measurements, walked us through every detail, and his knowledge and professionalism instantly won our trust. From there, the process moved quickly. Within a week of signing, his crew demoed the entire pool in just a few hours. We got to choose tile from several suppliers and ended up with a beautiful pebble mosaic that matched our house. At first, we thought we'd keep the old red brick coping, but at the last minute we switched to a modern dark gray brick. Best decision ever! It completely transformed the look of our backyard. As often happens with older homes, surprises came up: our original 1964 gas and electrical lines were corroded and had to be replaced. Oscar handled everything--brought in trusted contractors, coordinated the work, and saved us the headache of dealing with multiple companies. While we were at it, we upgraded our equipment to a top-of-the-line Jandy system with Wi-Fi controls, plus added a heater and automatic pool filler. Yes, the budget went up, but every upgrade was worth it. Watching the transformation was amazing. Once the new tile, coping, and plaster went in, it felt like we had a brand-new pool built from scratch. The white plaster makes the water sparkle, the equipment runs quietly and efficiently, and with the heater and lights, we can swim comfortably day or night, year-round. Beyond the work itself, what made the experience so special was Oscar and his family. He's personable, honest, hardworking, and clearly cares about his craft. His crew was professional, respectful, and fast. By the end, it felt like we weren't just hiring a contractor--we were working with people who truly cared about making our home better. Now every time we step into our backyard, we can't believe the difference. What was once an eyesore is now the centerpiece of our home, and we're enjoying it constantly. If you need pool renovation, plaster, tile, coping, or even just reliable weekly service in the San Fernando Valley--call Oscar's. He's the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKKSP_c4UY

One of the things that truly stands out is how quickly he handles emergencies, even outside of the regular service schedule. Recently, I had an urgent issue with my pool, and Justin immediately arranged for one of his service technicians to come out. The technician arrived at my house in less than 30 minutes and resolved the problem quickly and efficiently. That level of responsiveness and customer service is very rare these days. If you are looking for a pool company that genuinely cares about its customers and takes problems seriously, I highly recommend Justin and his team.

Justin did an incredible job bringing our pool back to life. When we first contacted him, the pool…read morewas green, dirty, and in rough shape. We needed it cleaned up quickly so we could take photos for an appraisal, and he exceeded our expectations. To make things even more challenging, our pool equipment wasn't working at all. Despite that, Justin worked tirelessly to get the water as clear as possible. Within just four days, the pool went from looking neglected to looking crystal clear and nearly brand new. Justin was professional, responsive, and clearly takes pride in his work. And it was affordable!!! We were amazed by the transformation and couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend LA Island Pool Care to anyone looking for honest, reliable pool service. I wish we had a pool now so we can utilize his service again!

As first-time homebuyers, we really appreciated how thorough Ted from Beck's Pools was during our…read morepool inspection. He took the time to carefully inspect everything- from the pool itself and all of the equipment to the surrounding concrete and explained everything in a way that was easy to understand. His inspection report was incredibly detailed and well organized. What we appreciated most was that he helped us prioritize the repairs, letting us know what should be addressed right away and what could reasonably wait until after we move in. That gave us so much peace of mind and made the whole process feel a lot less overwhelming. Ted was knowledgeable, patient and honest. He also provided pricing for the recommended repairs. Thanks to his expertise, we feel much more confident moving forward with our new home. We highly recommend Beck's Pools and Ted to anyone looking for a trustworthy and thorough pool inspection!

The entire process was smooth from start to finish. Heinz and Ana were present and engaged throughout the whole project. They really listened to what we wanted, communicated clearly at every step, and made sure the final result turned out exactly as we expected. It's clear they take a lot of pride in their work and care about getting the details right. We're extremely happy with how our pool turned out and have already recommended them to several friends who are planning pool work of their own. We wouldn't hesitate to work with them again.

Highly recommend GC Pools for pool restoration…read more After meeting with several contractors, we found that many either said our restoration couldn't be done, underestimated the scope of the project, or tried to upsell us to a complete rebuild. Our goal was to restore and salvage as much of the existing pool as possible rather than replace it unnecessarily. We were dealing with a substantial 45-foot structural crack, and Heinz was the only contractor who accurately assessed the scope of the repair from the outset and quoted the job realistically, so there were no nasty surprises along the way. He was honest from the beginning, set realistic expectations, communicated well throughout the project, and delivered on the quick timelines he gave us--even during peak season. These qualities made the overall experience a very positive one, despite a few colour-matching hiccups that were ultimately addressed quickly. We'd happily recommend GC Pools to anyone looking to restore their pool.

My old pool guy wasn't maintaining the pool properly, and it got to a point where it was no longer usable. Castro Pool came in and completely turned things around. They took the time to properly assess the condition, reset the system, and get everything back on track. Within a short time, the pool went from looking rough to being in amazing, crystal-clear condition again. What really stood out was their professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work and keeping the pool in top shape--not just doing a quick pass and leaving. If you're dealing with pool issues or just want reliable service, I highly recommend Castro Pool. They brought my pool back to life.

I would never recommend this pool company or the individual who came out to my property. From the…read morevery start, he tried to upsell me on an estimate from another company--asking me to pay him the difference directly while claiming he could do the job himself. The work in question was mostly masonry repair for a pool crack, but it became clear very quickly that he was neither knowledgeable nor reliable. He constantly showed up late (when he showed up at all), invaded my privacy by looking up my personal profile on Facebook, and then lied about it by saying that I had looked him up. Completely unprofessional behavior. On top of that, he tried to charge $2,500 upfront before any work was completed, and then demanded another $2,500 after the supposed "completion"--even though he left the pool completely empty, which every real contractor knows can cause serious structural damage and new cracks. That alone could have cost me thousands. To be safe, I brought in a licensed masonry and construction contractor for a second opinion, and he confirmed what I already suspected: this guy didn't know what he was doing and was simply trying to take advantage of us. His exact words were that the original person I hired was "an idiot" just trying to take us for a ride. Save yourself the stress, money, and potential damage to your property--go with a licensed, experienced contractor who knows pools and masonry. This person is not trustworthy, not knowledgeable, and not worth your time.

We got quotes from several pool remodeling companies and Smart Swim came in right in the middle. We are strong believers on "you get what you pay for," and opted to go with them even though they were not the cheapest. From beginning to end, the guys at Smart Swim were easy to work with and truly wanted our project to come out great. After 30 years, it was time for our pool to have a remodel! Through the remodel, it was uncovered that we had many severe leaks, down to the rebar that needed to be fixed in some areas. Sam was great at making sure we understood the severity and that we were okay with any new costs that needed to be added. Not only did they do our pool, but also installed turf by the pool area and put pavers all around the pool and yard area. We also got the new gray gate installed from them as well, to replace the wooden fence in the yard (between the pool). **Noting that the perimeter wall/wooden top was painted black and sanded/stained by a different company. We truly appreciate their hard work and even when we had an immediate death in the family during their time working on our project, they were very respectful and gave us some space as needed.
