We had a great experience with Rock bottom from start to finish. When we reached out for a consult, Bladen was polite and professional, didn't try to upsell us and was understanding of our wants. Our pool came out lovely. We've splashed around in it a bit during this hot streak in March, but anticipate those hot summer days to really get our moneys worth! The build was quick, tidy and affordable. I highly recommend them for your consideration. read more

We love our pool. It took a bit of time to construct and the crew wasn't the cleanest, but very happy with the quality of construction.

Lack integrity, dishonest, and greed. From the very beginning we had our concerns given there Google rating. It all began when we decided where we could place the spa equipment. We have a big Eucalyptus tree and behind it would be perfect and out of sight so we thought. Kenny agreed to the locating and proceeded to paint out the dimensions, 3' x 9' requiring a depth of 18 in. which was within the required measurements. When the crew arrived Chuck (owner) stated they could not lay the equipment there because it would kill the Eucalyptus tree....not true and I was willing to hire an Arborist. The truth was Chuck didn't have the means or equipment, given the space, to take on the excavation and his staff later confirmed that with us.....Chuck your dishonest. Secondly, Kenny suggested the equipment be placed in front of the Sunroom, I did not think the wife would agree because who would want to look out the Sunroom and see equipment, so I told Kenny to hold off until I spoke with her, however, when I came home from work I discovered the excavation had already taken place and the existing concrete had been cut and removed. The wife was furious. I called Kenny and he had no answer apparently there wasn't any communication with his staff to hold off on the excavation....complete disaster. Thirdly, the 70 sq. feet of slate that we used for the floor and partial steps of the spa looked great and we decided we wanted the remainder slate on the 2nd step of the spa which was an additional 30 sq. ft. Originally we purchased a crate of slate from National and the crate of would cover 130 sq. ft which was more than enough to cover the 2nd step. We expressed our interest to Chuck, however, since it wasn't in the original contract he stated he would sell me back the unused slate...that would equate to a 110% mark up.......pure Greed! Fourthly, the concrete that was cut was supposed to be replaced with a French drain (layers of sand, crushed rock under a layer of gravel) that was what Kenny had proposed and we agreed upon. Upon completion, Kenny assured us that it what was done that way, however, my security camera indicate otherwise, there was no layers rather it was all gravel......Dishonest. Fifthly, the crew do not have portable toilets so they use our flowerbed as a urinal....unprofessional and disgusting. Lastly, the spa cover was supposed to be cut to the dimensions of the spa but instead they dropped off an oversize square shape cover that looks hideous. We would not recommend Rock Bottom Pool. read more

We had a great experience with Rock Bottom Pools! All the staff was very nice and we were so impressed with their contractors who came. All of them were very friendly, professional and answered any questions we had. The process was easy and so quick! They gave us exactly what we asked for and finished well before the original completion date. The only "negative" thing I have to say is that I would've liked a little more communication as far as when contractors were coming or directions once the pool was filled. With that being said-if ever we called for questions they did answer everything in detail. We just had to call. Overall, I am EXTREMELY happy with Rock Bottom and we have had a great summer making great memories in our new pool! read more

Highly disappointed I entered a contract back in July, I paid cash for my pool, after several months of complaining about my discoloration on my concrete and the my plaster needing to be repaired they sent someone, to drain my pool and repair the plaster, the owner came out and said the discoloration is normal, my highly expensive pool looks terrible and all they can say is nothing can be done to fix the concrete, if the ready mix is the issue and it making the concrete look like this something has to be done. How is this the customer fault or how are we not getting this resolved, the way they resolved it is by sending someone to treat the concrete and each time it just made it worst. The most important piece which is the cement that makes the pool elegant is ruined. The picture speaks for it self. read more

Rockbottom Pools is top notch! Braya and Bladen are the ultimate professionals, full a care and expertise. Braya and Bladen were always quick to respond to any of my questions with helpful answers. Bladen took my vision for my backyard and made it a reality. All of the teams responsible for the construction of the pool and the landscaping were on time, respectful of the property and performed high quality work. My neighbors that used other companies had continuous complaints that I could not relate too, my experience was a 10 out of 10. Thank you to everyone at Rockbottom Pools! read more

I just installed a pool and spa. I was so pleased! I made several changes before deciding on the final plan and they never minded to adapt. Once construction started they never wasted a day. Something was continually happening. I am very proud of the result and my daughter plans to use Rock Bottom too! read more

Due to substandard poor workmanship my dream pool remains a gunite hole in my backyard YEARS later. The owner of Rockbottom Pools Chuck Holmes and Subcontractor for concrete work at the time Adam Stone refused to remedy problematic substandard work, then Rockbottom's lawyers cancelled my contract and then they abandoned the project. Pool project Won't pass city code and has also issued a citation. California state licensing board has cited Rockbottom Pools on multiple items after they (CSLB) hired an Industry Expert who found many problems. I spent Thousands of dollars to hire an additional Industry Expert who found even more problems. Rockbottom Pools still refused to accept responsibility to remedy and repair. I had no other option but spend thousands of dollars more on legal representation which the process is still ongoing. These are the unfortunate facts of my personal experience of a nightmare that I would never wish on anyone else. I hope my honest factual review will help others. read more

Rock Bottom pools gave us the most perfect pool! We loved how smoothly the whole process went. They were always on time and did a great job. We have zero complaints and will always recommend them to anyone we know building a pool. Thank you Rock Bottom for everything! read more

Well, 16 months later and one of my pool jets is completely blocked with quartz and has stopped. I called Rock bottom 4x and they told me someone would call me back to discuss my warranty. No call back. No, "hey we can fix it and charge you this". I get it if it's out of warranty but a clogged jet? I took off the trim and pulled out a 6 inch piece of quartz. I guess the line is filled with quartz. Don't fall for their salesmen. Once the construction starts so do the nightmares. read more

Rock Bottom built my pool October of 2023 and they have been amazing to work with. I had a couple small issues that I needed taken care of and they were out the next day with their crew to get it done. They always answered my phone calls and text messages throughout the whole process and still have great communication when I have questions regarding our pool after the fact. Our salesman was very attentive to us, and the office staff were amazing. Our pool and spa are beautiful and will be recommending Rock Bottom to our family and friends. read more

I would highly recommend Rockbottom pool. They built us a beautiful pool for my family to enjoy for years. It took only four weeks to complete the project. Let me start with Richard the salesman/ designer. A no pressure kind of guy showed us our option designs, gave us the cost for the project listened and answered all our questions and everything we asked for was done. Alvin was our Forman for the project, he was there everyday over looking the process of the built. He kept me in the loop of what was going to be done each day. Gina, who works in the office also kept me informed what was also going on. She's very knowledgeable when it comes to pools And of course I would like to thank the many workers who came out and build this pool for us they were very knowledgeable and very polite and they answered any questions I had. Thank you Rockbottom for building us a beautiful pool read more

Rock Bottom is the place to go if you are looking for a custom pool built exactly to your standards. I got mine done in the thick of covid and it was worth the wait! A family member of mine is getting hers done at the moment and they are at the end of her pool construction, and it only took about 8 weeks or so! Our salesman, Bladen, was so awesome through the project and helped us whenever we needed it! The front office was also super helpful and knowledgeable about our pool building process! I highly recommend them if you are wanting a pool built by skilled professionals :) read more

I would highly recommend Rock Bottom for your pool building and home landscape needs. The staff was knowledgeable, patience, friendly, and overall awesome! They worked around an extremely rainy and wet time of the year to build us a wonderful pool and landscape our backyard. Gina, Logan, Alvin and his crew did us a great service. I really appreciate their flexibility, and professionalism. Logan designed our pool and backyard to our needs and if we needed to adjust and make any changes; he was on board to do so immediately. Alvin and his crew were patience when working with our extremely muddy backyard working around the weather and our busy schedule to give us what we wanted. And Gina was extremely helpful, knowledgeable and made it easy for us to make payments and schedule times to work on our pool. Much respect to Rock Bottom, it was a pleasure doing business with you and I would highly recommend you to those looking to get a pool built! Thanks so much! read more

They said their price for building a pool starts at $40,000 ! If your thinking about having a dip pool or splash pool which are small in size and very shallow ( around 4ft. in depth ), regular square shape ( 10x10, 8x8, or anything smaller ) price starts at $40,000 they said. It seems too much for me. read more

I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE my Rock Bottom pool!! Great quality work... and, it looks beautiful! Mine has an amazing waterfall and slide, perfect play pad and and extra step-up on the deep end built-in bench. #MakingTheBakersfieldSummersBearable read more

I used to live in Florida and moved to Bakersfield. You did our pool and had the worst experience ever. You lied about the price and went back on your word. I'm a very reputable person who cares about letting people know about my experience. Go ELSEWHERE! I'll keep posting my review every time Chuckie. Look at other responses you post when someone gives you a bad review. So Chuckie quit ripping people off and do honest work! read more

Had our swimming pool built last summer by Rock Bottom Pools and have enjoyed it so much. Kenny came out and designed a computer rendering of the pool shape using the dimensions of our backyard and it surpassed my expectations. They built an awesome retaining wall, rock waterfall and fire pit. The pool equipment they use for their basic package has worked very well and is actually probably the best equipment on the market. With their busy summer schedule last year they were still able to finish the pool in time for a few months of swimming. They use their own work crew to do almost all of the work with the exception of gunite and concrete decking. The only problem we've had is keeping our Yorkshire Terrier out of the pool, he loves swimming in it! Thanks again Rock Bottom Pools and Kenny for making our backyard paradise. read more

This is an update of my previous review. They have a spring break promo that says you will get a Lowe's gift card upon completion of your pool. I asked our salesperson about three times if we qualify for the promo and he says yes and we should be receiving it the mail. Our pool was done end of June and it's now September and still no gift card. What's up with that Rock bottom?! read more

We loved everything about this Company especially their amazing employees and customer Service. Five stars just really isn't enough! You could say, I was a high maintenance customer, with a million questions. They were always happy to help me. I was so indecisive with my tile decision, Bladen sent me countless design changes, promptly and with a smile every time. I really appreciated not only their friendly attitude but their knowledge and expertise. Their experience really shows and is of such value. Such a big investment can be stressful, and Rock Pools took the stress right out of it for me. I highly recommend Rock Bottom pools and will be forever grateful for their entire staff for making our pool dreams come true. Definitely the Best Pool Company around! Hands down! read more

You won't regret it! Thank you Rock Bottom Pools, you are hands down the best in town! read more

Rock Bottom helped transform my backyard from a flat piece of land to an oasis. This was a big project involving a pool, patio, a lot of cement, gutters and drain pipes. Alvin and Logan gave good advice and listened to my ideas. If I requested a minor change, they came out and verified the new plans. The price at the beginning when you sign the agreement does not change at the end. They finished the job very fast at the time frame given. Alvin cares very much about the quality of his work. I highly recommend Rock Bottom for any backyard projects! read more

We recently moved to Bakersfield from the Midwest and knew we wanted a pool in our backyard!! We met with a few different pool companies during the planning stages but really clicked with Kenny from Rock Bottom! He listened to what we wanted then brought our vision to life on his computer! He was willing to work around our work hours to meet and go over our changes and additions. Alvin was great to work with 'on the job site' along with his workers. He was always in contact with us making sure we were happy with how things were progressing. The office staff was easy to reach and fun to work with as well. We never felt like we were just a job to them. I would highly recommend Rock Bottom Pools to anyone thinking about pool construction! read more

Asked for a quote and they never responded and said they would get back to us in a couple of days. We have contacted them twice and still no response. Maybe they thought we didn't have any money or who knows why! Either way, I am glad I didn't go with them. I wouldn't recommend them because if this is an example of how they do work, glad I didn't choose them. Would have been a nightmare. Glad we went with someone else - and they appreciated our full cash approach. Should be called Bottom of the Barrell no Rock Bottom. read more

We got a ridiculous quote from them, obviously the sales guy (wont mention any names) did NOT listen when we told him what we wanted in our design. Took him weeks to get back to us. Then when we told him the changes we wanted and followed up with an email, we have yet to hear back and it's been 2 months. Would never use them! Poor customer service and horrible and getting back to customers. Obviously they don't want our business! Would rather support a more friendly family oriented company willing to listen to their customer and provide a higher leave of service. I do not commented them unless you want to spend an arm and a leg, and take over a year. read more

These guys are so creative. They build some of the nicest pools and landscaping around. They are very professional and knowledgeable and I have recommended them to others.thanks read more

Rock Bottom did an awesome job on building our pool. Jeff Burleson was amazing and their contractors work so hard to get the job done correctly and in a timely fashion. I am in the real estate business and I know to be successful you have to preform and they did. My husband and I have built many pools and could not be happier with the results. We would definitely recommend this company to build your pool. They come prepared and want to make the customer happy. read more

We researched all local pool companies for our pool. We decided to go with Rock Bottom since we heard good reviews about them. We had visited their show room and looked at their pools and waterfalls since we had decided to do a waterfall and slide. Construction started as scheduled. Things seemed to progress in a timely manner. But after awhile things came to a stop. I called every day to see what was going on and the receptionist said the owner made out the schedule every morning at 6:00 a.m. We were not on the schedule for quite awhile, even though I told them this was not acceptable we were just as important as any other customer. We paid cash for the pool, which for some reason the owner didn't really car for and we paid on time. Their workers were using my yard as a trash can to throw away their lunch.I complained to the company and they said they would talk to them about it, but this kept happening. I'm not talking about the materials they used because they left that to clean up later. At one point when they had built our waterfall I told the owner that i was not happy with it because it was not what I requested. He was very rude and said well what do you want me to do about it, I wanted what I was paying for which was a $7,000 waterfall and slide. When I asked for them to come clean the rocks on the waterfall and the cement that was left on the rocks their employee laughed at me and when I called the project manager to come over he told my husband we were very difficult customers. I found out that I was not the only customer with complaints, other people were not happy with the waterfall they thought like me that they were ugly and no one cared. We had other people in our neighborhood who were thinking about building a pool, at first I would have recommended them but after all the problems we had with them I would tell people to stay away from them. The pool school they offer is a joke, it took them a month to come over and finish some very small stuff, I sent several e-mails and they were ignored. read more
