The good news is that today, after 1 year, 8 months, 2 weeks, and 2 days (625 days) since…read moreconstruction began on my pool project, the contracted scope of work has finally been completed and Riverside County has officially finalized my pool permit(s)! The bad news is that getting here was an absolute nightmare! Despite the fact that Taylor Made Pools failed to complete this contract, the owner recorded a lien against my property (demanding payment for the full contract balance, plus interest and his attorney's fees), the owner refused to remove the lien (even after it expired), and the owner has been gaslighting me since the contract dispute began. It took nearly a year to get through the entire process with the CSLB and for the investigator to refer the case to CSLB-sponsored arbitration. On 01/28/2025, we both presented our case and on 01/31/2025, I was awarded financial damages and Taylor Made Pools was ordered to remove the Mechanic's Lien. After completing the necessary repairs, I had to call for the pre-plaster inspection, hire a contractor to install the mini pebble, a contractor to program all of my equipment perform the 'startup' procedure, and another contractor to install the artificial turf. I also had to purchase the suction cleaner that was included in the contract, but not provided. Needless to say, this project was NOT completed for the agreed upon contract price.

Here to recognize our new pool guy Eddie, who's professional and knowledgeable and maintains our…read morepool so well. Last year we had on ongoing algae issue when our pool was first built...within the first month after completion we had algae despite paying for weekly cleaning services with this company. I think our then pool guy, with this same company was honestly just incompetent at the time but glad Bradley (owner) was able to come & assess our pool and make it algae free! We're impressed with our cleaning services done by BMB Pools, especially by Eddie, who goes above and beyond.

I also gotta say working with Josh and Bradley in the store was also great there price and customer service are top notch. We just got a new heater and vacuum from them and can't thank them enough.

They start you off with a hand-drawn sketch and, if you decide to move forward, they'll build out a 3D rendering so you can really see the vision come to life. The owner is personable, easy to talk to, and has a great eye for design. He's not just putting a pool in your backyard--he's designing your whole backyard space. You can tell he takes pride in what he does, and it makes a big difference.

Debbie and Chris at A Cut Above Pools helped turn our vision into reality!…read more Chris spent a lot of time working with us over several weeks to really understand what we wanted for our backyard. He listened closely, offered helpful guidance, and ultimately designed a space that exceeded our expectations. What stood out most was their commitment to doing the job right. They're incredibly detail-oriented and never cut corners. Throughout the process, any time we had a question or concern, they were always quick to respond and made sure we felt taken care of. We are thrilled with the final result--our dream backyard is now a reality! We would absolutely recommend A Cut Above Pools to anyone looking to build a pool or transform their outdoor space.

He fixed the wiring to get my jacuzzi working again and helped me set a schedule for my variable speed pump. Also, my variable speed pump was stuck on high speed, and he linked it into the Jandy subpanel where I have a high speed and a low speed which will save me money. He also offered to give him a call if I had any questions or problems in the future I am completely satisfied with Cerda Pool construction and highly recommend them for anything to do with your Pool.. I actually had two other Pool guys out trying to get my Jacuzzi to work and Charlie was the only one who got it to work with the same equipment before I even changed anything out. Highly recommend!

I have a Pool Heater that is about 25 years old, it started making really loud clanking noises and…read moreshaking real bad. A new heater would cost a few thousand dollars and most repairman say that the parts have been discontinued for this old heater. I was contacted by Joel and he assured me that he can use his resources to find the parts needed to fixed my old unit and have it done at the fraction of the price of a new heater. Joel has great communication with me, I think the longest I've waited for a tax return was only 15 minutes and that's because he was in a conference. Super nice guy! I highly recommend this company.

Joel responded to my request with a quality solution. The price was fair and less than other…read morecompetitors were offering. Mostly because Joel was actually providing an upgrade to my current system instead of doing a complete replacement of our controller. The entire system did not need to be replaced. Joel did what was needed and necessary not just what is in his best interest. I would knocked down 1 star due to the delays in starting. I was told the start time was earlier in the day but the delay was caused due to some issues with Yelp communication and other emergency. He started late and needed a different controller cable for my pump. Joel came back the same evening to finish the project and everything works great.

Jim and everyone at Quality Custom were amazing!!!…read more We only got one quote for our pool and it was from Jim. After talking with him, we knew that he was going to deliver a great product at a reasonable price and he sure didn't disappoint! Quality Custom does not sub contract any work. Everything is done in house so there is no waiting between the building phases for the pool. Jim is very involved in the entire process and his company sends out emails, almost daily telling you what to expect next, etc. in the building process. They started our pool April 3rd and we were filling it on June 26th, finishing ahead of schedule. Along with Jim, everyone on his team, including the workers are extremely nice and you can tell they love what they do. We had our pool guy come for the first time this past week and he told us that we have the Lamborghini of pool equipment (filters, pumps, etc.) He told us Jim does that because he doesn't have to spend more money on sub contractors for the pool so he gets top quality equipment. He also said he loves coming to a house that was done by Quality Custom because everything is so much easier for him from a maintenance perspective because the pool and equipment were put together so well. Overall, there's not enough stars I could give to Quality Custom Pools!! They were great from start to finish. If you're thinking about building a pool don't waste your time with anyone else!! P.S. We asked if Jim could come Back and put the stone and coping around our fire pit to match our pool. Without any hesitation he said absolutely and his guys came back to match our fire pit to our pool. Once again, it looks amazing and his guys did an amazing job!!!

He's been a blessing through this process, the most down-to-earth pool guy we've met. Jim really took our vision and ran with it. Out of everyone we talked to, he was the only one who didn't feel like he was trying to sell himself. His actions and the way he carries himself speak louder than any pitch ever could. I also really appreciate how he handles himself online, especially when responding to customers on Yelp. It says a lot about his character and how he runs his business. In-laws beat us to it. They're already in the digging phase. Been a clean start.

We had 4 bids when we were ready to remodel our pool and David was the most knowledgeable and trustworthy. I am very thorough when getting bids for projects and David checked off all the boxes for being the right person to work with. He was professional, responsive, honest about timelines and pricing, and incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire project. We had a vision for what we wanted and he helped us make it happen. We added a Baja shelf, water features, new lighting, upgraded our spa jets, added a new deck, replaced all our concrete, installed drainage throughout the backyard, built a new gas fire place pit, and installed new pool/spa equipment that is all automated and accessible on a phone app. What impressed us most was David's attention to detail and commitment to quality. He didn't just "renovate a pool" -- he completely transformed our backyard into an oasis. The design, craftsmanship, and finishing touches exceeded our expectations. Every element feels intentional and elevated, and the space is now somewhere our family and friends love year-round. David made the process smooth and well-managed from start to finish.
