I thought I had posted this almost a year ago. I was visiting Yelp and my partial review popped up. I was so happy with Rainbow Pool Plastering, I want to make sure to give them the recognition they deserve. I did my research and met with multiple highly respected contractors, receiving a number of quotes comparing the pebble tech/sheen technology and plaster options for resurfacing my pool. From my first meeting with Michael to the day they completed the work, the Rainbow Pool Plastering team was reliable, instilled confidence, and delivered a quality product and service. I was impressed by the well coordinated teamwork during each step of the process. This saved time and money. The plan was to only resurface and retile the pool, but it was necessary to replace the coping, as well. This was only evidenced once the demo work was complete. In addition to the unexpected cost, this could have delayed the project significantly. Michael and his team came up with a solution to make every effort to match the existing hardscape and prior coping to minimize the cost and amount of work that needed to be done, as well as scheduling the work in as quickly and efficiently as possible. It's been nearly 11 months since the project was completed and I am still very satisfied. I received a quality product at a reasonable cost. read more

Rainbow Pool Plastering - Completed work. Pebble-sheen surface, retiled, and coping. - General Contractors Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

I recently retained Rainbow Pools after discovering that my pool's coping was falling apart, and the pebble tech was cracked and leaking into the foundation. They handled the complete renovation flawlessly, and the final result looks amazing. The team was fast, professional, and very reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them for any pool project! Thanks Mike! read more

I had to redo my pool since the plaster had deteriorated after 15 years of use. I called about 10-12 different pool contractors before deciding to go with this company. The pool looks amazing now and the process dealing with Mike was very easy. These guys know their trade well and don't cut corners. Per Mike's recommendation I picked the Pebblesheen finish in Ocean Blue. Some of the off brands are cheaper but PebbleTec is the recommended one to use. I definitely recommend these guys for any pool job. read more

The guys did an incredible job resurfacing our old pool with cool blue pebble sheen, as well as replacing the water line tile. We decided to keep our existing coping. They were prompt, professional, and delivered a very high quality end product. We couldn't be happier. Thanks! read more

Sam, Mike and their crew did an amazing job installing PebbleSheen in my brand new pool. On the initial visit they brought a nice variety of samples for us to choose from. They offered great advice on the color we were trying to achieve. Their pricing is reasonable. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable and followed through with everything we discussed. The crew was organized and on their A game. They did an amazing job. I would hire them again in a heart beat if I needed their services again. Thanks Sam, Mike and the crew for a job well done. My pool at my Valencia home looks amazing! read more

Rainbow Plaster performed a beautiful job replastering our pool. The price was fair, and communication was excellent with Migual. Migual also recommended a pool start-up company that watched over the pool for a month after plastering to assure the chemical balance was perfect. I highly recommend the company. read more

The plaster in our pool was delaminating. I found Rainbow Pool Plastering on Yelp and asked them for a quote since they had overall good reviews. I also got a quote from another company with good reviews, and the prices were basically the same. We went with Rainbow because the owner himself, Mike, had come out to give us the quote and we had a good feeling about him and his crew. They told us 2-3 weeks to complete our job and it was done in just under 2 weeks. After the work was done and pool refilled, we noted a problem with the water level in the spa being too high and as soon as we pointed it out to them, they had a crew here the next day to lower the spillway so that the water level would be slightly lower, thus resolving the problem. Mike and crew talked to us about what we wanted throughout the process, offered suggestions, and ultimately listened to what we wanted and made it happen. They have an office with an employee always there to answer the phone so easy to get in touch with them to ask questions, etc. Definitely recommend Rainbow Pool Plastering for pool remodeling. read more

Mike and crew recently renovated our pool (new Pebblefina resurfacing + tile). We were so impressed by his professionalism and efficiency. The demo was done in less than 3 hours and the area was left spotless, cleaner than it was before they started. The tile and plastering job was pretty much the same. Instead of bringing 1-2 guys, he brings a huge crew to get each phase of the job done. Mike is also customer service oriented and a problem solver. He makes sure you're 100% aware of the pros/cons of the finishes, shows you the materials before installation, has references for starts ups, and reminds you to register w/PebbleTec. We had a few hiccups with the color of the grout around the border of the pool and then later with the chemistry of the pool. In both instances, he was on the phone within 5 minutes, then on the job site same day with solutions and a fix. He really wants to make sure his customers are happy at the end. It's refreshing to work with an ethical contractor who has the resources to support. If you want a straight shooter who's focused on customer service, work with Mike! read more

Rainbow Pool Plastering - Grigio PebbleTec + zelige Cle Tile for water line - General Contractors Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

We cannot say enough about Rainbow Pool Plastering (they were referred to us by close friends, who were also delighted with their work)! They did an excellent job replastering our pool, providing us an array of plaster & tile colors and textures, offering their professional opinions along the way. We appreciated them showing us pictures of former pools they'd completed, allowing us to see what various combinations looked like . Mike was present throughout the entire process, including during the actual installation process. He kept us informed along the way, so there was never doubt about Rainbow's cost and work. Needless to say, we are beyond-pleased and would recommend this company to anyone inquiring about a replaster! read more

Rainbow Pool Plastering restored this beautiful space that greets us each day. Mike and his team are all professional, experienced craftsmen working together over 15 years. Each of them is passionate and dedicated to doing the best work possible. A new or replastered pool is a big job, requiring patience and trust. Mike delivered at each step. The estimate, demolition, coping, plumbing, tile, plaster, startup... Exceptional Customer Service from start to finish and a Team that takes pride in their work! What you see in our crystal clear 20,000 gallon 9 foot deep pool is 3 months after job completion. Mini Pebble Aqua with hand seeded glass. White color Bellecrete copings, Sand color Deck-o-seal, grout and Class 2 tile. We added a split to our main drain, replaced existing handrail poles, and built a waterfall spillway using a tile overhang from Spa to Pool. During the Start-Up service, I learned better ways to maintain my pool chemistry as seen by these photos. This will look the same in 10 years! Thank you Rainbow Pool Plastering! read more

*Returning Customer and still 100% satisfied! We continue to get quality and excellent customer service. The owner, Mike, is still so easy and wonderful to work with. From deck-o-seal to adding drains or a bench. They still beat all of the other guy's prices! Our pool was worse than our first and now looks as good as new. We chose Blue Slate Pebble Sheen as well as added the blue glass and Abalone Shell. We are so happy with the work done and the outcome of our pool. We can't wait for the summer to enjoy! Thank you, Mike, Sam, and the team for continuing to provide amazing pool plaster/repair service. Family owned is the way to go, and this company will remain our #1 recommendation. God Bless! read more

Rainbow Pool Plastering - Great Results! - General Contractors Near Me - Santa Clarita, California

Mike and his crew are superb! I am a loyal customer, they did my house in Agoura 15 years ago, my current house about 10 years ago and just finished doing it again. Answered all my questions, were always on time great communicating and instant response with any new add ons, like lights, coping, etc. It took me a few weeks to have Mike come do an estimate, but once I received the estimate I was a priority. If you aren't getting calls it is because they can't make you a priority, keep trying, it is worth it. I'll keep using them and referring all my friends, neighbors and relatives. They are the best! read more

I'm delighted with how my pool came out, Great job Mike. I really did a lot of research this time since the first time I had my pool plastered the company I used 12 years ago was a big disappointment. I was misled about what materials were used. And the plaster started to blister off at 6 years. The pool lights didn't fit well at all either. You just don't realize all that can go wrong until you have it happen to you. Mike at Rainbow and his guys are very good at their craft. I asked Mike to fill in the deep end of my little pool and change the steps to be more useable. Then re-plaster with a pebble finish. Every step went great and just what I wanted. Mike even made sure the Pool lights fit Perfect! read more

After reading the reviews, we were impressed that they used all of their own employees, rather than laborers or sub contractors. The reviews were positive so we had them give us an estimate for renewing our 45year old pool. Their estimate was slightly lower than several others, but we liked Sam and Mike, who seemed straight forward and tried to advise what would be the best solutions to our issues. Despite a lot of rainy weather, they started the job and finished it within two weeks. The crew was very careful and always cleaned up well. They kept us advised of what was going on, consulted us about things, and did a wonderful job. We are very pleased with the result and would like to thank Sam and Mike and all the workers for their efforts, integrity, and expertise. read more

jesus from. Rainbow pools was very professional, and always kept in touch with me about up coming work. I had my entire pool remodeled, and I needed lots of extra work, since my pool is over 40 years old. They had people that could handle all my pool problems. Me and my family feel like we have a new pool. We highly recommend rainbow pools. j. Lopez read more

Mike Castaneda the president of Rainbow Pool Plastering, Inc., Sam and their fabulous crew are the best of the best. Our family pool had not been renovated for about 30 years and started leaking at the end of summer 2022. We drained the pool and realized that it was going to need some major repairs. We contacted Mike in June 2023 from a referral from my brother- in- law who used their company for re-plastering, and he came out to give us an estimate. He was so knowledgeable and listened to our concerns as we were on a tight budget. He discussed all options and costs. We agreed to stick to the basic classic white plaster and he checked our tile and confirmed they were still solid and in great shape and we could avoid replacing them, and just have them cleaned (Mike provided a great referral for this work). The skimmer basket needed replacing and the old pipes and plumbing needed to be upgraded. The cracks in the pool needed a higher level of repair with epoxy injections which he provided another great referral to do the work. He added a handrail at the shallow end steps and a ladder in the deep end for us. He was respectful of our needs and budget and never tried to upsell any services, and never skimped on the quality of work. Mike's team was well organized and performed each task quickly, efficiently and consistently went above and beyond to make sure every aspect of the project was perfect. After all repairs and plaster were complete and water re-filled, Mike gave us a referral for an excellent pool service for startup and monthly maintenance. A few days after the pool was filled, we realized that the pool light wasn't working (not part of the original project). I contacted Mike for advice, and within a few hours he was at our house to evaluate the issue. He disconnected power to the light and was busy taking it apart. We agreed that the light needed to be replaced however it was tightly embedded with concreate from the original installation years ago. Most contractors would have walked away from this type of project, or recommend to tear up the deck to get to it, but not Mike. He returned a few hours later with a new light and full scuba gear, got into the pool and chiseled out the old unit and replaced it with the new. We had quotes from 2 other companies which looked good, but make sure you really compare what's included and the additional cost of all the extras. Mike's quote was clear, stayed within budget and never came back with any additional costs or surprises. He stands behind his work, provides great customer service and wants to make sure you are 100% satisfied. read more

I was SO enthused by the many 5 star glowing reviews of this company! In fact, I had pretty made up my mind, after doing online research, before getting any estimates, that they would be #1 on my list. So I called two weeks ago late on a Friday afternoon...spoke to Sandra....who told me I would be called back Monday morning. Monday afternoon, I called back and spoke to Sandra again....who told me that I would be called back first thing Tuesday morning to set up an appointment.......still waiting for the call back over a week later....don't bother. I contacted 3 other companies, all who called me back in less than 24 hours. I cannot speak to their value for service except I received no service, they didn't respond, and therefore I feel are unreliable. Good luck! I rarely give negative reviews.....but if they are so busy.....and didn't have time....all they had to do was say so! read more

I decided to freshen up my pool and had Rainbow take a look at it. I am a property manager so I'm used to working with contractors. The pricing was competitive and change orders were fair. Rainbow kept me informed throughout the process and did good work. The pool looks amazing and I'm looking forward to using it in the summer. read more

I had my pool re-plastered and re-tiled by Rainbow pool plastering. The quote they presented was very reasonable. Mike was the contact person from the start to completion of the project and he was easy to work with. They were prompt and his crew did a great job. The crew were professional and efficient. Mike followed up any issues that came up even weeks after the project was finished. I would highly recommend Mike and Rainbow pool plastering. Walter A. Porter Ranch read more

We looked at many pool plastering companies and we are glad we went with Rainbow Pool Plastering. The communication throughout the process was fairly good and the work they did was very professional. The guys that came out were very helpful in answering our questions. Picking the right mini pebble was a bit of challenge but we are happy with the way it turned out. Hopefully the upkeep won't be too difficult and we (meaning our dog) will enjoy the new and improved pool. Thanks Rainbow Pool Plastering for the remodel. http://youtu.be/dQQdGnM-Ry4 read more

I would highly recommend Rainbow Pool Plastering for anyone looking to Pebble Tec their pool. Sam was fantastic throughout the process. Easy to reach at all times.

I'm so happy with the process and the results. read more

Above and beyond. Mike, Sam and the whole crew - extremely professional, knowledgeable and confident about their work. We did the plastering, coping repair, light replacement and skimmer repair. Every single person who worked on our pool was efficient and professional. My family couldn't be happier with the quality of work from Rainbow Pools. I wouldn't even think twice if I had to do this all over. They know what they're doing and the pool comes out looking great! read more

I hired this company to repair a really mysterious leak in my spa because some of the people in my homeowners association had used them and liked them. We ended up having them re-tile the spa and our pool, because the price was just too good to resist. I can't say enough good about their work. The salesperson gave us a better deal than the "legend in their own mind" contractors out here in Ventura County (You know the type? The owner shows up in his expensive SUV, but is never seen again, and...well--that's not how these people operate.) Anyway, the owner, Mike, was on the job immediately. He figured out why the spa leaked, and since the re-do (last summer), the spa has never leaked again. The re-tile job is beautiful. I had it done last month, and I wish I could show a picture of it here, but I don't know how. read more

I 100% would recommend this company to all my friends and family! They were so organized and were able to drain/remodel/plaster my pool and jacuzzi in a week. I couldn't be more happy with their service and thank them for getting our pool looking amazing! read more

We were looking to re-do our pool & spa. We wanted a company with their own in-house plaster and tile crews and Rainbow Pool and Plaster had that. Their guys are professional and conscientious. Mid-way through the job, we had a change in a choice of tile to a custom tile which they accommadated. Job was done within a couple days of their target completion. Pool & spa plaster and tile both turned out great. Mike & Laura were very responsive and nice to deal with. This is the third time we have done a pool remodel and the best experience so far. We would definitely use them again. read more

My swimming pool was badly in need of plastering, and I had no idea where to begin. I went on Yelp and found this company had good reviews, so I contracted with them. One of the best business decisions about my house I have ever made. "Sam" came out the same day and offered various suggestions and options if I chose to go forward. I made my decision and the process started the very next day. His crews descended on my pool like an army, as he had promised to have my pool finished by the 4th of July...just a week away. The men who did the work were amazing. All of them were good, hard working men. They had the whole thing done in three days. I could not be more pleased with their work. If you need your eye sore swimming pool re-done, please do yourself a favor and use these guys. My pool looks like a brand new pool. I have no personal connection whatsoever to this company. I make this review because it was my honest experience with them. read more

Looking to refinish your pool or build one? Let me tell you about my experiences. One can spend an enormous amount of time looking for the right contractor or one can make a rash decision by going with the first one you talk to. In some cases, that can be a good choice and then it can be a nightmare. I spent weeks getting many contractors to come out. Some times they show up, other times they don't or show up when they want to and not when they said they would. Then they tell you they will provide you a quote on everything you discussed. When and if the quote arrives, it usually isn't what was discussed and you have to take more time to resolve this. A good contractor will get it right the first time, be on time and know their business. Also, make sure you get referrals BEFORE you sign a contract (I signed one with one company before they gave me a referral and fortunately I went immediately to see it. I cancelled the contract that day as the pool I saw looked like it needed to be redone not just redone!). After many contractors (more than 10), I found Rainbow Pool Plastering. Mike and Sam came out immediately (the same day we called) and they followed up with a quote including everything discussed (the first one to do that!). Their price was competitive and they were not afraid to give me as many referrals as we wanted. We were looking at doing a Pebble Pool and they sent me to customers with different colors so that we could see what finished pools would look like. Not only did they do that, but they even let us see works in progress so we could see the process and how they treat a customers home. That was UNBELIEVEABLE! Seeing that they treat every customer's home as if it was their own was a turning point to me. They were so clean that you wouldn't know work was being done when they weren't there. We didn't just refinish our pool, we remodeled it. We added a Baja Step, moved our actual steps, fixed problems with plumbing, added a dual drain, replaced all the tile, added tile edging and more. Rainbow Pool not only explained every process in detail but they offered many options for us to choose what fit our budget and desires. Their professionalism and knowledge was reaffirming and made it an easy choice to sign a contract for them to do the work. They even came back out to our house multiple times to help us make the best choices - no pressure, just support throughout every step of the way. Every different crew was amazing. Each team doing different processes showed up on time and finished on time. Mike and Sam were consistently on the job site making sure everything was done as if it was their own pool and gave me great confidence that we would get an amazing new pool. They even offer a great start up service so that your new pool is ready to go properly which will help ensure the great warranty they offer is never needed. My pool is finished now and we couldn't be happier, more excited or pleased. Actually it is not really a pool anymore, it is now a Lagoon! That is how incredible it turned out. They didn't finish on time, they finished EARLY! When do you ever hear that statement coming from a contractor??? Rainbow Pool Plastering exceeded my expectations! So, if you want to save yourself a lot of time, money and get the best job you can imagine; make one call to Rainbow Pool Plastering - you can thank me later. Right now, I want to thank Mike, Sam and their entire team as we will have the best summer ever by our new Lagoon..... read more

My best experience with a contractor yet. Mike and Laura were very pleasant to deal with. They followed through with everything they promised. Mike was on site for much of the time and responded to all my concerns. The workmanship was pretty good with a couple exceptions and it was completed ahead of schedule.

Work done: Crack Repair, Complete Re-plumb, Re-Tile, Some coping, and Re-Plaster. read more

We are very happy with the plastering job they did on our pool. The employees are very polite and clean workers. They take great care in leaving your yard clean and undisturbed as much as possible. I have chickens and they took the time to cover them up during the demo process to protect them. We chose a darker grey plaster and Mike warned us ahead of time about any problems that might arise. It turned out beautiful and they did a fantastic job. Mike was always quick to respond to any of our calls. We had a couple of issues in scheduling with the office staff but again Mike quickly fixed the situation. He is a very professional man and cares about his customers. I highly recommend Rainbow pools. read more

I am impressed with Mike and his crew. The estimate was very competitive and the positive reviews reassured me that they will do a good job.

LOVE my new pool. After 20 years with the same plaster pool it was time to resurface our pool as the plaster was coming apart. I spent alot of time researching multiple companies and got 4-5 quotes. While Rainbow was not the lowest price, they gave me the confidence that they would do the best work and WOW, they sure did !! I love the fact that they use their own crew, not subcontractors. They are reliable, efficient and great at project communication. Kudos to Laura for keeping me informed of everything from beginning to end. The final result is just beautiful !! If you are considering a pool replaster this is the company to work with read more

I am literally the pickiest person on earth and I'm telling you I tipped these guys! They not only did everything they said they would do, they did more. The price was right, I got four quotes and they were one of the best 2! They came on Monday just like they said they would and drained the pool, then they came on Tuesday just like they said they would and demoed the pool, then they came on Wednesday and put the tile up just like they said they would, and then they came on Friday and put the plaster in just like they said they would.!!!! They covered everything up, they didn't damage anything and when they left everything was just as clean as before they got here. I could not be happier with these guys!!!!! read more

I highly recommend this company. Sam and Mike were honest, professional and they always answered my questions and kept me informed every step of the way.

This company is the best, I have recommended them to friends and family and I am so happy we went with them. read more

After talking to several pool plaster companies we decided on Rainbow Pool Plastering. Could not have made a better decision! It was not the price that motivated my wife and I but the attitude. Several companies turned us down as far as what we wanted for the trim tile. Laura told us " no problem". There also was several other problems that they ran into but was taken care of professionally and quickly. The tile guys were incredible with their knowledge and expertise in laying our trim tile. I am not a stranger to the pool business as I spent over ten years as a pool service person and designed and built my pool 30 years ago. Also, it took only 3 days for removal of old plaster to filling the pool. Thank you Mike, as owner, and Laura. The mini pebble tec looks terrific!! Lee & Barbara read more

Providing an expedient service our pool came out beautifully. They were very responsive to our inquiries, and provided a professional service. They are a small family run business, with Mike doing the installs and Laura his sister doing the business end. We initially thought "cheap" looking at a gunite redo... but settled on mini-pebble. They drained the pool on Thursday. Is drained overnight - I was very concerned with the noise of whatever "compressor" they would be using... but it is an electric pump that is placed at the bottom of the pool - does not make any noise. Friday they stripped the old surface, Monday they put up the new tile. Wednesday they installed the mini-pebble, Thursday finished up with acid wash... So all told a week from demo to install. Mike even came back on Friday to check the water hardness for the start up... I had my pool guy do the start up. If you are concerned with how the mini-pebble will look they provided us with a few examples of their work and we went and looked... very helpful. We settled on Tropics blue, not Tropical blue, or Tropics breeze or just Tropical... I am very happy with the results, just wish it was warmer so I can jump in. A great experience with Rainbow Pool and Plastering. read more

The owner, Mike, came out and looked at what I needed done and gave me a quote later that day. When I asked for the quote to be itemized all I received was a short list of what the work was with no price breakdown. 72-hours later and several emails and phone calls ignored, I'm calling someone else. By far the most unprofessional company I've ever associated with. I'd give them zero stars if Yelp would let me. Update: In addition, his quote was 3x market rate. They finally got back to me and here is the email... unbelievable..... its really hard to itemized the price really!!! Its to repair what you discussed in person with Mike... Im sorry I can't itemize this. This may be the only company on the planet that cannot itemize the work they quoted. I know why you can't itemize it. It's because you pulled a number out of your behind and hoped I was dumb enough to pay it. The whole company is offensive in how they communicate and conduct business. What's more scary, I was referred to them by a contractor who has done business with them. You'd think they'd work extra hard to take care of a customer and the contractor in this case. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY! read more
