    Model

    Mark is not only awesome and easy to work with, but totally honest! Pump went out, got a bid on yelp from 10 different pool companies. Little did most know I did my Youtube research and determined the driver was bad on my pump. Several guys said I need a new pump and that they don't make parts for my model anymore. Mark said I have an extra driver I can use to fix your pump and came out same day. Awesome to deal with call him if you need help! My quotes went from 3k to a couple hundred cause of his integrity and honesty!

    Neat work

    Marcus installed my pool pump. He did a great job and I was thoroughly impressed by his craftsmanship. He took the time to explain the work that he was doing, did not cut corners and even fixed some actuators that were unrelated to the pump. I would 100% recommend him to friends and family.

    Marcus was very helpful and professional. He was able to diagnose the problem with my pool heater within minutes and fixed it right away. The cost for the repair was also very reasonable. I will definitely contact him again when my pool equipment goes out and recommend him to family and friends.

    Our pool heater is a little old. Thankfully, Marcus was still able to repair the E05 error we were getting.

    We contacted The Pool Nerd for a "E05" or "E0S" error we were getting in our pool heater. Marcus was able to replace the parts and fixed the heater. While doing so, he discovered other missing parts and replaced them. Icing on the cake is he was able to fix the leak in our water pump on the same visit! He's professional, knowledgeable, and will certainly contact him again for future pool services.

    Ask the Community - The Pool Nerd

    Do you recommend DE filter or cartridge?

    Cartridge is what I recommend.

    Do you work on pentair ultra temp heat pumps?

    I can install them but I can’t work on them

    Do you paint swimming pool?

    No i don’t. The chemicals will eat away at the paint over time. Never looks good

    I would like to replace my pool pump with an energy efficient vsp pump. I have a smaller pool. Do you sell and install?

    Yes I do

    Do you service Laguna Niguel?

    I only do repairs in that area.

    Greetings, I would like to know if you service the Carson area? I believe I have a leave in the pump…

    Yes I do service Carson. You think you have a leak in a line?

    I was having an issue with my pool heater, and he was able to identify the issue and fix it on the same day.

    Words can't express how grateful I am for Beachfront Pool service…read more We recently had a new roof put on our house and the roofers did not cover the pool like they promised so there was wood dust, nails and plastic covering the pool floor. Paul was amazing he responded immediately and got to work as soon as he was available. He brought the pool back to life. And right before a holiday weekend. AMAZING!!! I recommend Beachfront Pool to anyone in need of pool service.

    We've been using Beachfront for a little over 2 years. Paul is our point of contact but he's not…read morethe one that comes out for the maintenance. Last year, we needed our pool slide scrapped and re-coated as the initial construction of the slide was done poorly. We asked Paul if this is something his company does and he said yes. Tells us he'll send his stone guy to take a look at it. I emphasized that I wanted to use whatever material would last us the longest. He quoted us about $2k. It's steep, but we know Paul and trusted him (or so we thought). It has been a year almost exactly and the coating they did is now peeling. We reach out to Paul about remedying this and he's basically washing his hands of it, saying that he has no affiliation with the person/company he sent out and that he had called his stone guy. I've attached photos of what the slide looked like before, after, and now and part of our conversation where he explicitly stated his workers and not some referred outside company. We paid the invoice sent through Beachfront, not some 3rd party he claims to not be affiliated with. This is not to mention that our pool has had issues with algae for the last 2 months and they claim that it was a pipe leak which we paid for to be fixed and look at the state of our pool now still. I would stay far away from this company. I don't know why they have so many stars but my experience with Paul and Beachfront have been disappointing and expensive.
