We had our pool built by CATAK Pools (completed Nov 2025) and overall had a really positive…read moreexperience. Before moving forward, we met with 3 different contractors, and Mike was the only one who really understood our vision. We didn't want to tear out our existing concrete or patio cover, which made the project more complicated, but he was able to design around it and still deliver exactly what we were hoping for. That flexibility was a big reason we chose them. We broke ground on 9/15/25 and everything was complete by 11/10/25!!! It was crazy how fast everything went and he definitely did an amazing job coordinating all the teams to finish in a timely manner. We went with a custom setup that included a raised spa, Baja shelf, and two illuminated sheer descents, and everything came together really well. The spa might just be one of the biggest in town! The water features at night give the whole backyard a clean, finished look, with the lights. We also added the iAquaLink system, which has been super convenient for controlling everything from our phones. Like any build, there were a few minor things that came up along the way, but nothing major, and Mike has been responsive when we needed him. What stood out most is that he didn't disappear after the job was done-- Mike continues to be helpful when we've had questions or needed small adjustments. That kind of follow-through matters with a project like this, and it's a big reason we'd recommend CATAK. Looking forward to enjoying the pool for years to come and continuing to work with them if anything comes up down the line. I will add some pictures soon!

We have built four pools now with four different contractors over the past 20 or so years. While…read morethe first three I would consider decent projects with not too much to complain about, it became apparent that building with CATAK pools would be an eye-opening experience. The level of professionalism and expertise was something we had never experienced before in any home project including building a custom spec home, let alone a swimming pool. Attention to detail and quality was built into the entire project and Mike was leading the entire way. All aspects of the project were handled with zero headaches on our end and there weren't any surprises or "gotcha" moments, Mike handled everything and always made us comfortable with the process, valued our input, and any offered changes from us without any fuss or hassle. The execution of the project was seamless and performed in a systematic and efficient manner, even with some weather impact the whole project was wrapped up in record time. During execution the crews' that Mike used were amazing! Even though there is some noise associated with the process they were always cognizant of appropriate times and hours worked in order to keep the nuisance down to a tolerable level for us and our adjacent neighbors who commented more than once about the exemplary job the company was doing and keeping work areas and approaches clean during the process. One neighbor didn't even realize we were building a pool until it was just about finished! The finished product is beautiful and turned out better than we could have hoped for! We would recommend CATAK pools and Mike Smith for anyone who is considering building the pool of your dreams! Thanks again Mike!

After two visits and $290 later, dryer still not working. Told by the supervisor that I need to…read moreclean the vents. Instead of the repair man telling me this on the first visit, I was up-charged for parts and labor I did not need, and still have to pay another company to come out to clean the vents. Horrible way to treat a customer who, up until yesterday, had been loyal to this company for many years. Do not call them, keep searching.

You think they would be more considerate after not showing up. Never again. Moving on.

Once asked about what steps we needed to take care of next, she laughed and said "We?" She refused to give a quote, saying that other florists might steal it and she "doesn't compete". Judging by the BMW in the parking lot, and overall lack of respect and helpfullness, I'd assume this woman isn't necessarily looking for customers. Let's just hope her husband can continue to afford financing this hobby.

However, we soon became unhappy when the quality of work began to slide when a new crew was brought in. We had some issues with the project manager and while the work was finished, it took much longer than it should have since Gene did not have enough workers to work on our house as well as his other projects. We tried to contact Gene numerous times and very rarely did he respond. The end product came out nice, but the process was very nerve wracking and caused a lot of stress and sleepless nights on our parts.
