We recently hired La Costa Custom Pools for a major pool remodel, and the entire experience…read moreexceeded our expectations. We researched a bunch of different pool companies and asked for quotes and we went with La Costa Custom Pools. The scope of work included remodeling our waterfall feature, installing a new water slide, upgrading the pool control box, adding a salt cell system, replacing all pool lights, repairing cracks and chipped concrete, and repainting the trim around both the pool and spa. From start to finish, the craftsmanship and attention to detail were outstanding. Communication throughout the project was exceptional. We were consistently kept informed about timelines, next steps, and any adjustments. On the rare occasions when work had to pause due to rain, we received clear notice in advance. We never had to guess what was happening or when crews would arrive. Cory managed the project closely and made sure everything stayed on track. He brought in Bob, a master pool structure builder from Great X-Scapes, and along with Peri, they built an incredible waterfall and water slide that not only look amazing but are clearly built to last for years. As with any remodel, a few minor issues surfaced after completion. The trim paint began to chip due to a product issue, and there was a significant leak from an old pipe nipple in the existing pool setup. In both cases, Cory and Bill responded immediately. The entire trim was redone without hesitation, and the leak was repaired quickly and properly. That level of accountability and follow through speaks volumes. The project was originally quoted at around two months, and they completed it in just over one month without sacrificing quality. We couldn't be happier with the final result and would confidently recommend La Costa Custom Pools to anyone looking for professional, high quality pool work!

They do our weekly maintenance and also installed a pool heater for us, and both experiences were just seamless. They're efficient, professional, and really nice. Never try to upsell you on stuff you don't need; they just tell you what's actually necessary and get it done. Love that. They come the same time every week, every time. Half the time we don't even know they've been here, which is honestly the dream. Easy to get in touch with, and they have great contacts if you need anything else done too. Just a really well-run company with good people. Highly recommend.

The entire Master Geek Pool and Spa team have been incredible partners for us over the past two…read moreyears. We operate several Airbnb properties in the area with pools and spas, and having a reliable service team is absolutely critical. Master Geek has never disappointed. Their cleanings are consistently thorough, their support is incredibly responsive, and their repair work is always professional and done right. There have been multiple situations where they stepped in quickly and saved us during tight guest turnarounds. Before finding them we went through several other pool services that were unreliable and frankly terrible. Since switching to Master Geek, everything has been smooth and dependable. If you need a pool and spa team that shows up, communicates well, and takes pride in their work, I could not recommend them more highly. They have been one of the best service partners we have for our properties.

I recently requested several quotes for the installation of a new pool motor, and out of the four…read morecompanies I contacted, Brett was the first person to call me back. That alone already set him apart. After speaking with me and learning that I'm selling my deceased Aunts house and simply looking for the most cost-effective option, Brett actually recommended that I purchase a motor myself and even sent me the Amazon link. He knew right away that he probably wouldn't be getting the job. I'm also quite a distance away, and if Brett had done the work, he would have installed a higher-quality motor and done it the right way. But this review isn't about getting the job--it's about integrity and customer service. Brett took the time to help, educate, and point me in the right direction even though he knew there was no business in it for him. That kind of honesty and willingness to help is rare these days. I only wish Murdoch Pool Service was closer to me in Escondido because I would absolutely use them for my own pool service. Thank you, Brett, for taking the time to help and for showing what real customer service looks like!

So, I found Murdoch Pool Service who was charging $180, but had great reviews. After speaking with owner, Brett, who assured me that they provide a better service than the cheap guys I signed up. After a couple of cleanings, I noticed they were only spending about 10 minutes on my pool and not leaving it "sparkling clean". I spoke with Brett about this and, after looking at the photo his guy took, he argued that he didn't see a problem with the service. I thought OK ...maybe I'm being OCD because I'm used to cleaning my own pool and spending way more than 10 min on it. Then we had strong Santa Ana winds hit and it left quite a mess of leaves, debris, and dirt in my pool. I was looking forward to Murdock coming to the rescue to clean it all up. They spent a little more time than the average 10 minutes and left my pool looking like it still needed to be cleaned. The photos were taken immediately after they left and you can clearly see that they failed to brush the sides, clean out the strainers baskets completely, etc. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten this level of service from the cheap guys. I was expecting to have them help me out for at least 3 months, until I could heal and get back to cleaning the pool myself, but after 2 months I couldn't continue paying a premium price for a sub-standard service. I found myself hopping around the pool on one leg trying to clean up after they left. I would highly suggest you find someone else to clean your pool.
