We had a great experience with Sundancer. We added a spa to our existing pool, refinished the pool with Pebblesheen, remodeled our bar top and had concrete installed. Marc helped guide us through all the design choices and steered us in the right direction every step of the way. The crew was very nice, professional and finished the project on time and on budget. Sundancer Pools was recommended to us from a neighbor who had built a pool and spa with them and we also had a great experience! Highly professional, honest and reliable company, can't recommend highly enough! read more

We used Marc and the Sundancer Team to build our dream pool this past year. Marc was incredibly responsive, timely, creative and honest throughout the process. Despite our changing of finishes -- and some changes to our whole plan -- he was always patient, clear on timelines and honest and accurate with the cost. We are so so pleased with the result and grateful to the whole team at Sundancer for transforming our yard into a little slice of paradise for years to come. read more

If you're looking for the best pool builder in San Diego, stop scrolling and just call Marc at Sundancer Pools. We did a full backyard transformation... pool, spa, hardscaping, BBQ area, the whole nine yards and Marc absolutely crushed it from start to finish. From day one, his design ideas were great, we made some tweaks on the fly and he had no issue handling our modifications with great input on what would and would not make sense. He took the vision we had in our heads and somehow made it look even better in real life. He had solutions for things we didn't even know were problems yet, and every recommendation he made ended up being the smarter, cleaner, long-term play. You can tell he's been doing this for a long time and actually cares about how your space will look and function years from now, not just on photo day. His team was awesome too. Super friendly, super professional, and shockingly efficient. They showed up when they said they would, worked hard, cleaned up, and kept the project moving. In true unicorn fashion, they even finished on time... something you don't hear often in the world of big home projects. But here's the real test: how people act after they're paid in full. That's where Marc really separates himself from the pack. We had a couple small things pop up after completion, and instead of dragging his feet or ignoring calls like so many contractors do, Marc fixed everything quickly with zero drama. That alone made me a permanent Sundancer fan. I recommended him to family which is always a little nerve wracking because if things go sideways, it gets awkward at the holidays but Marc and his crew delivered another home run over there too. It's rare to find a contractor who makes you look good for referring them. If you want a backyard that looks like a resort, a pool builder who actually communicates, and a team that does what they say they're going to do, Sundancer Pools is a 10/10. Can't recommend Marc and his crew enough. read more

UPDATE November 2025: As the season shifts from our hot SoCal summer to fall, I remain completely impressed and in awe of my pool. The heater with deep water returns keeps the pool at the perfect temperature, which is a testament to Robby and Team's design knowledge. I swim almost every day, sometimes more than once per day, and each swim is nothing less than perfection. On reflection of the process, I felt so listened to during the building of my pool, and Sundancer delivered my dream of a large, deep pool with a space to do all sorts of exercise. I couldn't be more happy! It IS perfect! Thank you so much!! read more

Here are some photos of the updated project. The pool was filled today!! Seems we are about 1/2 way done. The pool was empty for a few years, so now we work through what is working and what isn't. Remember on pool remodels, it's usually more of a project, with more details then you expect. But Marc and his crew will walk right along with you, to help make the right decisions for you, your family and your pool. read more

Had Robby and his crew completely redo our pool and deck (pavers) area a few years back. They did a stellar job. Several years out from the project, he still provides support for the occasional issue I run into -- in some cases at no cost. 5 star service start to finish, and then some. read more

It's been 3 years since I've had my pool installed by Sundancer Pools. A few weeks ago I had an "auto-fill" problem. My pool service gave me a quote of $1,200. I thought that was a little high so I called Dave (owner) and he sent someone out to take care of it. At no charge, my "auto-fill" was now working and I couldn't be happier. Sundancer Pools stands by thier work and guarantee's customer satisfaction. I am very grateful that Dave stood by me took care of it at no charge. What a great company. read more

Our large, deep pool hadn't been remodeled since 1964, it was a mess! Sundancer did an incredible job thanks to Marc Correll and his crew, as you can see in the before and after photos. He maintained the retro character of our pool, decks and property, whilst updating everything to the latest technology. From day one Marc had amazing ideas. We had been struggling figuring out what to do with a row of old telephone poles, thinking we'd need to build an expensive retaining wall. Marc had the genius idea of simply replacing the damaged poles and building a low retaining wall in front. This retains the charm of our quirky property, we love it and get so many compliments on how cool it looks. Our project was a complete backyard and pool remodel including: - old poolhouse demo - new concrete decks everywhere - rebuilding/concreting upper patio - install decorative aged brick on all paths & patios - tearing out all old landscaping - install two stairwells with lighting - beautiful waterfall wall & 4 deck jets (mitigate freeway noise) - pool lighting, saltwater, solar, plastering & tile - all new pool equipment & plumbing - long retaining wall all down one side of large lot - building three raised planter beds (one with cool curved wall) - creating hot-tub nook with electrical hookup - and more! And yes that's an airstream in one of the photos... it's our guest house, for which Marc built a concrete pad and liaised with our plumber on the installation of water, sewer and electric. He even helped to get the Airstream in place, which was quite an event! We planned and managed the project ourselves, and Marc had endless patience and good humor with our often changing ideas, always coming up good solves or alternatives we hadn't thought of - literally nothing fazed him. With a project this size we hit some bumps along the way, which was to be expected - Marc communicated clearly to manage our expectations, and was always fair about everything. By the end he had become a good friend, he's just a great guy. Bottom line - I can't recommend Sundancer highly enough, and the photos really don't even do justice to how amazing our back yard is. People come over and say "wow it's like a resort back here" because it is! read more

Big recommendation for Sundancer Pools and Marc Correll. Marc is a straight shooter and was a pleasure to work with for my wife and me from our first interview to full completion. We talked to some pool builders that only did pools, so it was very beneficial (for the process and finished product) that Sundancer does hardscape as well. They delivered a home run project for us and we couldn't be happier. If I'm ever again in the market for a new pool this time there will be only one phone call and it's to Marc Correll. read more

After deciding not to build a pool last year because the company we were working with kept trying to oversell us, we decided to give SunDancer pools a try and gave Marc a call. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Marc is a pro. He's an expert at designing pools and patios, and super flexible and easy to work with. Marc is always available to answer our questions via phone / text and frequently stopped by to make sure everything was going as planned. The SunDancer team and contractors were all amazing. They work fast and their attention to details (especially Eduardo and the masons) was very much appreciated. Our project finished on time and budget, even with several changes and last minute additions. Thanks Marc and SunDancer for building the perfect pool for our property. read more

We contacted many companies during the summer of 2020 to help us build our pool. The unique thing about our pool was that we wanted it on the bank (up high). A few requirements for us were 1) Company has been around for longer than 2-3 years (for any warranty issues), 2) Most of their workers are employees of the company (not 3rd party contractors), 3) Responsiveness. Robby came out and listened to what we wanted and Sundancer came up with the best plan and an awesome idea for a vanishing edge that doubled as a water fall on the lower level. I enjoyed working with Robby throughout the whole process. He responds to texts even at odd hours when I had some ideas to bounce off him. Because of the demand, our pool didn't get started until end March of 2021 and we started filling water July 29th of 2021. I thought it was great progress considering the demand and supply shortage. read more

Pool was completed right on time, and we were able to make changes along the way when we wanted. Be prepared to make choices with tiles quickly and color choices fast. Certain decisions come up fast without alot of warning. With covid we couldn't look at stores at our leisure. Everything was done without problems and completed well. There were no surprises. Everything is laid out and there are no shady issues or problems at all. That's all you can hope for with a large contract these days. Be prepared to have some landscaping damage, possible broken sprinklers and high water bills during the process. We love our pool and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. We can't wait for this summer!! read more

We have finished the project! Actually finished about 8 months ago, but I wanted to updated this review with our experience with Robby at Sundancer from start to finish to continued support. Robby and the team at Sundancer has been beyond amazing. My wife and I have worked with many contractors over the years and none have come close to the experience and professionalism you get with Sundancer. Even to this day we look back on our pool build experience and wish all projects went that smooth! If we changed anything Robby was quick to answer with no problem and he made sure it got done. Our pool is absolutely beautiful and exactly what we pictured. We swim in it all the time and enjoy it as often as we can. I just want to give a heart felt thank you Robby and the whole Sundancer family for making our pool dream come true with no stress. Now we are itching for new projects and there is no doubt we will use Sundancer if that includes another pool! read more

After searching for months to find the right contractor to bring our vision for our backyard to fruition at the price point we were looking for, we happily found Dave Williams Jr. and Sundancer Pools. The result of our experience is nothing short of spectacular. Dave and his crew took care of us every step of the way, treated our home as if it were their own, and went out of their way to ensure our experience was as good as can be. In addition to creating a custom spool (small pool / large spa) with a waterfall, Sundancer Pools took ownership of a complete renovation of the back and front yards; providing an outdoor living room, outdoor kitchen, complete with artificial turf and landscaping tailored to our motif. We approached Dave with a plan for what we had in mind, and what he and his team were able to create exceeded all of our expectations. Sundancer Pools created an environment for outdoor entertainment, a soothing retreat, and a place for outdoor living - indicative of the Southern California lifestyle. We would highly recommend Dave Williams Jr. and Sundancer Pools to help bring your vision to a reality and exceed all your expectations. read more

Marc Correll and the Sundancer team just completed a $150K plus remodel for us. I cannot say enough about how great they were. Each team they brought in, from the demo crew, to the tile crew, to the plaster crew were professional, on time, neat, etc. Any issues we encountered (like clogged drains, etc.) were taken care of promptly and efficiently, with no extra charges to us. We even had an issue with a cranky, complaining neighbor and Marc's team went above and beyond to appease them. In addition, the Sundancer team worked well with our other contractors (carpenter, painter, landscaper) to coordinate all parts of the project being done ON TIME. Sundancer DELIVERED. They did what they said they were going to do AND THEN SOME. They went above and beyond all my expectations. read more

We used Sundacer Pools as a subcontractor to do the demo, spa, hardscape, turf, BBQ island and water/fire feature of our outdoor living remodel. We had a fantastic experience with Sundancer Pools and Robby Williams in particular who was the project lead. When we first met with Robby we discussed how we wanted an in-ground spa, a water feature, a fire pit with built-in seating, and a BBQ island. Robby informed us that given the size of our small backyard that the best use of space would be to combine the water feature and the fire pit into a single centerpiece. He sketched his idea out for us on the spot and fast forward almost a year (it was a large project with multiple contractors + delays due to COVID) and we are simply stunned with the end result. Robby's on-the-spot design ideas came out better than we ever could have imagined. The multi-tier water/fire feature with built-in seating is stunning and we have received no end of compliments about it. The spa is even more luxurious than we anticipated. Sundancer was able to make it even larger than originally advertised and we have used it every single day since it was installed several weeks ago. Our young kids have also been loving the spa (which is big enough for them to swim in) and they particularly love the waterfall from the attached water feature. Robby and all of the Sundancer crew were polite, easy to work with, and responsive. As some other reviewers have mentioned, Sundancer typically makes rapid, on-the-spot decisions about various material selections. Since we were using Sundancer as a subcontractor the prime handled all of that and it was a seamless and a more-or-less painless process from our perspective. All work was completed on-time and in a professional manner and the few (minor) nits we have had Robby has addressed promptly. I strongly recommend asking for Robby if at all possible if you decide to work with Sundancer. read more

Embarking on a backyard pool construction project is equally exciting as it is daunting. We interviewed a lot of companies, narrowed them down, itemized proposals, and asked several questions along the way. Marc Correll with Sundancer was extremely knowledgeable, straight forward, responsive, and seriously patient with us as we navigated through the selection process. That combination, along with Sundancer's multi-generational reputation & their confidence to put a lifetime warranty on construction, is what won out for us. Throughout the project, Marc showed the exact same attributes as he did at the start -- that's the mark of a quality professional. We couldn't be happier with the result. Marc / Sundancer helped us create our family's "Memory Maker" in our backyard. I'd highly recommend them for your project. read more

While we have not decided on a company to build our pool just yet, I felt compelled to write a review for Sundancer. Shanyn has been so pleasant and easy to work with on the phone. She's been easy to reach via phone or text regarding our appointment. Dave, the owner, came and took measurements and got our ideas and submitted a quote to us in a reasonable time. We still have to make a decision between about 5 companies, but the icing on the cake from Sundancer was a personalized thank you for even considering them. So nice! read more

We have been enjoying our pool for six weeks now and are so happy with the results. We had a difficult yard to work with (and some difficult weather to deal with) but Marc and his crew were fantastic throughout. Great communication and attention to detail. We got three other bids and they came in with the lowest price and the best plan. We made some changes along the way and they worked with us to make sure we got just what we wanted. We are happy to endorse Sundancer and their whole team. When it comes time for the masons to show up, cross your fingers you get Ricardo and his crew.

Sundancer Pools is a fantastic company! Marc Correll, in particular, made the experience incredibly smooth. It was clear from early on that Marc had a good handle on the project, and was reliable. He kept us informed the whole time, and was always incredibly pleasant to work with. Despite many rain delays, the team was able to stay on track, and meet the original timeline. The final product exceeded our expectations. Our family has been out in the pool every weekend, and the finished product is amazing. Our experience has been so amazing thanks to the follow through of the team. A object was dropped on one of my glass tiles by the jacuzzi and cracked it in pieces. Marc sent his team out to fix the glass tile, and didn't even ask for additional money. That's making sure your customer is happy! I would happily recommend Sundancer, and Marc, to anyone. read more

We are very happy we decided to go with Marc Correll and Sundancer Pools! I had a good feeling about Marc from our first meeting, and seeing other reviews helped confirm my first impression. Here are some things I appreciated about Marc: ~ I didn't feel any sales pressure from him. ~ He helped work with our budget. ~ He is very knowledgeable about pools and helped make our pool vision happen (good ideas about what would work, and what wouldn't). ~ He always responded in a timely manner. ~ Marc is a nice person, easy to work with, and trustworthy. ~ His crew was wonderful too- hard working and great craftsmanship.

Marc and his team did a great job and it was a pleasure working with all of them. Marc was the first guy we contacted for our backyard project and we felt comfortable with him so we didn't even bother about other quotes. He came up with a good design and things started happening really fast. Marc was always available for questions and changes in this very dynamic construction were never a problem. Where Sundancer really shines imho is: their contractors and employees who make it all come true. Esteban, juanitos and their team were amazing - weekends, over 100F these guys were wonderful. Plumber, electrician ....all of them hard working honest people and I enjoyed watching them work just as much as I enjoy my pool now. We ran into some financial problems during construction - Marc was amazing during that time, helped us where he could and waited patiently for things to move on again Thank you to Marc and your team. read more

We recently remodeled our entire backyard with Sundancer Pools and could not be happier with how everything turned out. After getting a number of estimates, we met with Marc, who we felt comfortable with right away. He walked us through the process and tried to get a good sense of the upgrades we were looking to do and the budget we had to work. He was incredibly helpful in giving us insight and ideas on areas where we could save money and also areas where we could spend a little more but obtain finishes and features that were of great value to us. He even referred us to the program that ultimately provided our financing. Marc and his team were very professional throughout the process and accommodating as we made changes here and there during the process. As a full backyard remodel, it was hard to always have a sense of the project outcome, but Marc and his crew kept us up to date on the progress each day. From the demolition to the new drainage, retaining wall, pavers, pool surface, tile, lighting, irrigation, lighting and BBQ island, we could see our vision becoming reality. Every detail was considered and Marc and the crew ensured that we were 100% happy with the outcome. They even went out of the way to use some old pavers we had to create a pathway on the side of the house. We can't say enough about Marc and his crew and would highly recommend them again. Months after completion of the project, Marc continues to check in to ensure our satisfaction and has been responsive to questions and has fixed any little issues that have come up in a very timely manner. read more

I bought my retirement home in Vista in April 2019, always planning to have a pool put in. Then 2020 came along LOL. But I went ahead last summer. Pool companies were BUSY. I had four come out, three gave bids. The main reason I chose Sundancer was that Sundancer included demo and replacement of the nasty old concrete patio just outside the home next to where the pool would go. Others said they would do paving around pool, but not demo/replace the old concrete. So I signed on with Sundancer, and work began second week of December. With holidays, a little bad weather, the entire pool project was complete by start of March. Just a bit too cold to heat it up yet, but soon! Robby Williams was our project manager, did a great job. Various crews came and went; they were all diligent, respectful, and worked hard. Now having workers at one's home 6 days a week, with intermittent breaks for scheduling reasons, is going to sooner or later cause some annoyance, but seriously, it was very minor. I'm just so happy with the pool, the spa, and the entire area. I highly recommend Sundancer Pools. read more

This review is gonna be long, but trust me you'll thank me later :-) Earlier this year my family and I began doing research on the various pool builders in and around San Diego County. Some responded to our emails/voicemails looking to set up an initial visit to discuss pricing, ideas, estimates, etc... Some got back to us, others (looking right at you Mission Pools) couldn't even bother to respond to us. After meeting with a handful of builders we decided to go with Sundancer Pools, chiefly because of co-owner (who also happened to be our project manager) Robby Williams. He was upfront at our initial meeting when he stated that they weren't going to be the cheapest (they weren't, but it was close and with the $$ we were talking $1000 one way or the other wasn't going to break the deal), but because of the relationships they have with suppliers they would be finished 2-3 months before other builders and that we'd be able to enjoy our pool all summer....which we did (started in March and we were swimming by early July). He said he would be upfront, forthright and very hands-on during EVERY aspect of the build. I'll just cut to the chase and say he was ALL OF THAT and more! I'm an old school kinda guy and while I understand a contract is a contract, I also appreciate a person looking me in the eye, shaking my hand and giving me their word....means a lot to me. When Robby told me not to worry about something as he would take care of it ALL (County permits, pool equipment/electrical, an outdoor sprinkler system that got torn up, days missed due to poor weather, the occasional supply chain issue, initial pool servicing, changes in design, etc...) he meant it. He'd meet us at various places for us to pick out coping, tile, pebble for the pool interior, etc... and then offer up many suggestions on why one product was better/worse than another, he knows his stuff! Day, night, weekday, weekend, he would ALWAYS get back to me if I had concerns during the build. Not once did I feel he was taking advantage of us, nor did I feel as if he was trying to hide something from us. No matter what any pool builder tells you, THERE WILL BE ISSUES with your pool build, I can guarantee it. What made those issues seem non-existent for us was that Robby (and the occasional visit from his sister Shanyn) made it all very seamless, especially at the end of the build when the water is finally added. There are more than a handful of "issues" that could pop up once the water is added as you can't check for certain problems until water is running through the filters and hundreds (if not thousands) of feet of piping. When those "gremlins" (as he called them) popped up during the first month or so of our pool being finished, Robby was a phone call away and within 24-48 hours (if that) he had someone out to rectify the situation. Pools are nowhere near as inexpensive to build as they once were (he'll tell you that too ;-), so it's WONDERFUL to have someone like Robby and Sundancer Pools who do wonderful work, but even more-so, they're wonderful people. I can't recommend them highly enough.... read more

We had Sundancer Pools come out and give us an estimate. We called several companies, but by the time the others started calling us back, we had already had our on-site consultation and had received an estimate!

I needed to get my pool remodeled and got 4 bids. Sundancer Pools was by far the best. Marc came to our house and spoke with us. My husband immediately liked him the best. He was confident and knowledgeable, but not in an arrogant way. The process was seamless. Marc was great at communicating. His crews are great. His tile crew spent 10 to 12 hours everyday at my house even in the rain with a tarp over them cutting tile in the cold rain. They did a great job. They didn't try and sell us things but were very honest and forthcoming. I will definitely use them again when I get my concrete work done. Thank you Sundancer Pools!!!! I would recommend them and I am a very detailed person that wants the best work. read more

We recently began the process of getting quotes for a complete backyard remodel and pool build from various contractors. With Sundancer, we had the wonderful opportunity of working with Marc for our consultation and design through a recommendation of a neighbor. We came to the meeting with a fairly clear design of what we were wanting and Marc listened to the details and understood our vision. He provided feedback where needed and suggested subtle improvements that would enhance the design. Because of Marc's attention to detail and eagerness to listen and answer questions, we chose Sundancer for our pool build and backyard remodel. Shanyn, who works in the main office, is also wonderful and extremely helpful. We are excited to start the next adventure of the permitting and building process. I will continue to update this review as the process continues, but we only expect the positive trend to continue. read more
