    Email promising an estimate
    Steve M.

    On 11/4/25, Adam R with Teserra came to our home to consult on building an inground spa next to our pool. We discussed our desires and brainstormed with Adam. He indicated that he would have an estimate to us in the next week. After two follow-up emails, Adam promised that he would get the estimate to us (see attached). That never happened. We finally hired another contractor who we were very happy with. Our new inground spa looks beautiful. I would not recommend Teserra to anyone.

    Renovated spa and pool

    This is our second pool construction with Teserra, and once again we could not be happier with the result. We started with Graham Balog, who could not have been more pleasant, professional and helpful as we worked through design decisions and finish choices. This was a 25 yr old pool which we were renovating out of necessity, as we had a water leak under the monolithic pour concrete deck. He worked to get us the most style without compromising on quality within our budget, as had been our experience before. We then were placed in the very capable hands of our project manager, Matt Claborn, who worked with on a starting date and who carefully outlined the project completion timelines. He was always available for any questions we had , worked with us on finalizing the plan and finish choices, and introduced us to our project supervisor, Moises Ramirez. Moises was a constant presence during the entire project, carefully scheduling and managing all of the many contractors involved in the project, which resulted in an on time and on budget beautifully detailed pool, renovated to current codes and specifications. We had the opportunity to have a collection of subcontractors that could not have been more respectful of our property and project, and who delivered an extremely high quality and beautiful product to us. If we ever have another pool project, Teserra will be our only choice for the project!

    Pool and spa from Teserra

    We had a problem with the spa/pool heater and Teserra (specifically Ivan Garcia) came out within 36 hours and resolved the issue quickly with friendly and efficiently service They designed and built our pool and spa and we love it so, beautiful design and build

    New pool!

    Great company!! I'm a firm believer in, you get what you pay for and I did. From the first day, when I was just "thinking" about getting a pool to completion to aftercare. Teserra was there for each step. Great customer service too!

    Limestone pavers by pool.   Teserra sees no problem with this one.

    it is hard to believe Teserra has the reputation as a premier pool builder. yes-they build pools. and maybe one day in the past they may have been good. But Teserra is hands down the worst company I have ever dealt with and the final product they claim is "perfect" is not at all even acceptable. see photos of Teserra's "Perfect" install of limestone pavers, coping and new pool startup

I was quite impressed with the Yelp reviews of Melo's Pools. I sent a quote request via Yelp and had a response within 10 minutes! Appointment was set for five days later. Albert and Pablo arrived to my home on time. They measured, took pictures and assessed the pool along with the pool pump system. We discussed ideas, timelines, finance options and they left me with a book that contained sample ideas. The following week I met both of them at their showroom to look at the actual tiles and find a match for the pebble. Albert and Pablo were great at making suggestions and giving me space without any pressures of making a decision, signing a contract, etc. A couple weeks later I signed contract and a demo date was set. The crew was on time the first day, and that stayed true until end of project. To no surprise there was a leak detected after opening up the plaster. Mauricio, the project manager, brought it to my attention immediately. He showed me the issue, explained what needed to be done, had a plan ready to go and with my sign off they had the issue fixed expeditiously and the project was kept on track. As a matter of fact, the project was completed a week earlier! Even my neighbors commented how quickly they worked and how great the pool turned out. From Day 1 to the end, the entire crew was respectful. Mauricio kept me updated on the progress of the project. Even after the project, Pablo and Mauricio came back (each separately) to ensure all was good. As I explained to them both, the tile is even more beautiful in the daylight and the colored grout was a perfect match! Worth every penny. Customer service is above and beyond at Melo's. Working with Melo's was effortless. Thanks to Melo's, I love my pool again. Thank you, Albert, Pablo, Mauricio, Art and crew!

Here's our experience: Background: Our 20+ year old pool was in need of a facelift - the original builder had installed PebbleTec up to the coping without using tile above the waterline and so the PebbleTec was beginning to crack. We reached out to six licensed contractors sourced from Yelp, Angi's list and Thumbtack: (1) Purrfect Pools (2) Gardner Outdoor & Pool Remodeling (3) Dream Coast Builders (4) Blue Dream Pools & Spas (5) Aqua Destiny Pools (6) Luxury Pool Design & Construction. Of those six, only three (Purrfect Pools, Gardner Outdoor & Pool Remodeling, Dream Coast Builders) followed through by meeting with us and providing quotes - even after multiple follow up calls to the non- responders. Of those three who provided quotes - Only Michael from Purrfect Pools followed up to see if we had questions and he even provided regular updates and pictures of current pools that he was building or remodeling. He got the job because of this follow up. *Service*: We are so happy we went with Purrfect Pools - that same attention to first class service was carried through from the start of the project to the finish. Michael provided a really clear quote, with milestones outlined, he prepared us for the "what ifs" since it was a remodel, he professionally addressed all of our questions and he was on the ball every step of the way. His team had that same commitment to service as well. They were professional and even cleaned up after themselves after each visit. *Quality*: Check out how beautiful our pool is - the workmanship speaks for itself. Most importantly, Michael did everything by the book and made sure everything was up to current code and he took no short cuts. We are more than delighted with the outcome. *Value*: Purrfect Pool's quote was fair and in line with the other quotes. The value Michael from Purrfect Pools offers is priceless -- it is the quality of his team's workmanship, his knowledge of pool remodeling and building, his personal integrity and commitment to making sure his customer is satisfied. Without hesitation we recommend Purrfect Pools and are available to provide a reference.

I switched and after a year with this new company I can say this is not normal. They overcharged for everything. They destroyed plants breaking branches, lawn - pouring pool water on it (still can't grow back) and when the pump broke they said they'd maintain the water while we waited for repair. They not only didn't maintain it but I had to drain it 3 times in 2 months because they could even get the water balanced from scratch. They were also dishonest on occasion about repair and showing up. Nice people but not acceptable service. I caution anyone from working with these guys. It's expensive and the damage is even more expensive.
