I highly recommend Zier Pools! The best hands down! I did a lot of research on our pool builders since it's such a huge project. I was fortunate to have Tim Brown as our project manager. We have had a lot of (other) work done and a lot of complications BUT Zier Pools performed with no problems, no delays, no complications. Tim was honest, transparent from the beginning and all the way to the end! (I can't say that's been the case with a lot of other vendors/contractors) Everyone asks who did our pool because Zier did a great job!

We are so happy with our new pool from Zier Pools! The best part was our guy Tim Brown- he was our contact at Zier from the very first interaction all the way through every step of the process through to completion. During one of our first meetings, Tim designed a super cool 3D rendering of our pool and made all of the changes we wanted to get the design just the way we wanted it. His communication was clear and constant, he gave us all the necessary information and explained anything we had questions about. Tim easily handled all the changes we made throughout the process and truly made everything seamless. Zier also dealt with all of the permitting and inspections, we didn't have to worry about a thing. We cannot recommend Zier Pools (or Tim specifically) more!

We completely renovated our backyard this summer and Zier Pools gave us the backyard of our dreams! I worked with Jay and he was great - always available by phone, quick to reply, and informative of each step of the process. I was most impressed with both the efficiency and quality of their work - I started my project in June and it was completed by September - digging, plumbing, coping, tiling, all of it! Friends of mine who had started their project a year before me still had not completed theirs - and not for a lack of quality. They were meticulous and put great thought into each step - such as carefully calculating how each paver would line up and rearranging the marble coping so each piece fit perfectly next to one another. As someone with OCD, I greatly appreciated the extra time and effort for perfection! My husband and I could not be happier with the outcome!

Put the pool in last year, and what an amazing experience! I can't speak highly enough of Tim Zier and the whole Zier team. We sit here today wanting to do it all over again because the process was so smooth and fun. Tim listened to everything we wanted prioritized, and worked really hard with our budget and expectations so that we could get the pool of our dreams. We couldn't be happier with the turn out. They are great communicators, and helped us make good choices to get the best bang for our buck. Thank you again Zier!!

I can't speak highly enough about Zier Pools! We have renovated 7 homes in multiple cities and working with this company has been the best experience we've ever had. I am a project manager and a designer, and when it comes to home projects, I hold very high expectations with time, cost, quality and communication. Finding high quality contractors can be very challenging so taking on a project like this one had me very nervous since small decisions have big impacts. I felt great about choosing Zier from the beginning, but they surpassed my expectations on every level! We bought this property in Cardiff and immediately started the process with Zier. In exactly one year's time, we resulted in the pool and space of our dreams! From start to finish, this project went smoothly - hit every milestone, impeccable attention to detail and quality. Tim Zier project managed it, and he was nothing short of amazing. His whole crew was on time, focused, kind, respectful, clean, communicative, and organized. From the planning process to install and everything in between, it was simply remarkable. Pool projects are a whole beast of an undertaking when you navigate not just the pool, but decisions and installs for patios, landscaping, turf, hardscapes, trucks and materials, sourcing, costs, timelines and communication. Every single component of this project went perfectly. This was a massive project, completely starting from scratch with a yard and space that now has been completely transformed into an oasis of beauty - Zier installed the entire space - pool, turf, patio, walls, fireplaces, etc. We just finished last week and are beyond thrilled with all of it! Thank you to Tim and the entire crew from Zier pools. If I could hire Zier to perform every project inside my house I would!

The only mistake we made in going with Zier Pools was that we didn't decide to do it 5 years ago! We worked with Jay Zier and he was such a pleasure to work with. He held our hand through the design, the long permitting process, shopping trips to pick stone & tile, and even gave us great referrals for landscaping, pool solar and a weekly pool maintenance guy. Every text we sent him he responded to super quickly. His workers were polite, came on time, tidied up each day. The end result is fantastic. We are so delighted to hang in the spa or pool when we get home from work or on the weekends. We have been so excited to entertain and our HS and college age kids have really enjoyed having friends over to swim and hang in the new back yard. Thank you Jay and the whole team. I would highly recommend them to any friend or family who were considering putting in a pool.

Zier Pools is absolutely amazing! From the beginning, Tim took the time to explain each step of the process, and he was very reliable throughout the whole project. We chose to go with Zier Pools because of Tim, and he made us very confident that they would do a great job. There were no surprises during the whole process, and we knew exactly what we were paying for. Zier Pools takes the extra step when it comes to every detail, and we couldn't be more grateful. Our backyard transformation is better than we could have imagined. Thank you Tim at Zier Pools!

Zier pools just completed our pool. We are so impressed with the entire experience. Gerry Hernandez came out to provide a quote and review the pool design. He was extremely knowledgeable throughout the whole project. The quote was accurate and we were not surprised by any additional expenses. We made a few additions on our end which increased the budget but Gerry always advised us on the best modification to maximize the expense. His trusted guidance made the experience so comfortable. The work detail was fantastic! Tile work was meticulously completed with attention to detail and finish. Everyone throughout the project was professional and worked diligently to complete their area of responsibility without any issues. The project came in exactly on schedule of 4 months. Had the continued rain not occurred they would have been done a month earlier! We are so happy with the Gerry and the Zier Pool team! We'd recommend them to anyone who wants a stress free experience.

We could not be happier with our decision to go with Zier Pools! They transformed our boring backyard into a resort-style oasis in five months. We brought four major pool builders out to give bids, and we decided on Zier Pools because of Tim Brown. He was the most pleasant, personable, and competent of all the company representatives that we met with. Building a pool is a big project that involves a lot of decisions and back-and-forth with your project manager, so we knew we needed to pick someone we thought would be responsive and capable. Tim and the entire Zier crew did not disappoint! We can't believe how smooth our project went, start-to-finish, and the exceptional quality of work at each phase. I consider myself very particular, with high standards and a keen eye for detail. Zier Pools exceeded my expectations and made sure everything was perfect, including every little 1-inch tile! There's nothing more luxurious and revitalizing than a swim in your own private pool on a hot day, or more relaxing than a soak in your spa. The kids say it feels like we're on vacation, but in our own backyard. We're all just enjoying our pool so much. It's well worth the investment. You won't regret choosing Zier Pools, be sure to ask for Tim Brown!

We bought a brand new house in Escondido and wanted to build a pool. We met with Matt B. with Zier Pools after consulting with a few other pool companies to design our pool. Clearly we hadn't a clue about what a pool would cost, but Matt worked with our budget and steered us in the right direction! In short order we went from totally deflated to elated! We went back and forth with design concepts for about 2 weeks before settling on something that we truly loved. The cool part about the design process is that he sat down with us and did real-time edits to the 3D CAD design. You can tell that Matt genuinely loves his job! Zier Pools was great to work with. Matt and his team were absolutely wonderful and incredibly responsive each time I reached out with any questions or concerns. The communication throughout the process was clear on what would be done and when and what steps were remaining. Once the permit was approved, the building of the pool happened in a very timely manner, considering we were still in the middle of a global pandemic. We broke ground in February, made four incremental payments at certain project milestones, and we were swimming by June. It probably would have been completed faster but they were limited because of the supply chain fiasco at the time, which was beyond their control. Also as a result, we weren't able to select our desired coping material because the stone tiles were stuck on a container ship. But Matt worked with us and suggested a very attractive alternative and I think it actually turned out for the better. We did encounter one setback/mistake, a very subtle one that I didn't even notice until Matt pointed it out to me. He was very upfront and transparent about what happened and offered multiple options on what they can do in order to make us completely satisfied. We agreed on a solution and problem solved! No business is perfect, but this is how great companies stand out from the rest. Other than that, we couldn't be happier with our pool. We had so many pool parties over the summer that we lost count. Compliments galore from all of our guests!! Matt knows what he's talking about and he'll treat you right. He'll do whatever he can to ensure your satisfaction. Thank you so much, everyone, we will enjoy this space for years to come! (photos to come =)

From start to finish, Zier pools met our expectations. Tim was professional, responsive and walked us through the whole process. They were reliable and transparent with their pricing.They weren't the lowest bid that we got , but you definitely pay for the quality of work and service. Thank you Zier pools!

Truly one of the best contractors and people I've ever had the pleasure of working with. We've worked with quite the number of contractors over the past few years and none have been as communicative, honest, hardworking and passionate about their craft as well as the customers satisfaction. Matt Bagby was our assigned point person for our pool project and he immediately made us feel comfortable with moving forward with Zier Pools. They made us feel like family and took care of us every single step of the way. The transformation of our backyard space is quite astonishing and incredible and it has already been such a blessing for us and our family to enjoy during the hot summer season. If you are ever in the market for a pool remodel, i cannot recommend this team highly enough. Give them a chance and they will blow your socks off! From the beginning where they offered to do a 3D CAD design for free (which a lot of the other companies require you to pay for them) to the various changes we needed to do throughout the project we were always kept informed and updated! Matt and his team also work closely in hand with Kenny who does landscaping work along with Zier Pools very often. Kenny met every need and went above and beyond in our landscaping needs! He is truly a gem in the dust, hardworking and honest and never stops making sure you are completely satisfied with the end result! Big shout out to Matt, Freddy, Kenny (landscaper) and Noe as well as every other crew member that worked on our yard and pool, thank you from our family!

I highly recommend reaching out to Zier Pools if you are thinking about transforming your yard with a pool. The entire team at Zier Pools was professional, friendly and focused. This review may seem overdue as Zier Pools completed my project in August 2025. I can speak not only to my Zier Pools construction experience but also to the quality of their work and their follow-through post-project completion. We reached out to Zier Pools and began working with Andrew and Jay on a full front & backyard remodel, including a pool, spa, kitchen, hardscape, landscape, deck, etc. We had purchased a home with a yard that was basically dirt, concrete, brick and overgrown trees. We shared a few ideas with Andrew and Jay about what we were looking for. By our first sit down meeting, they had brought the project to life better than we had envisioned. Working with Andrew, Jay and the entire Zier Pools team was phenomenal. We prefer to support local family businesses and Zier Pools did not disappoint. Jay has immense experience and a ton of valuable contacts he connected us with. Communication throughout the project was incredible. Andrew always had time to answer questions or address issues that came up. Both Andrew and Jay were very present throughout the entire project. We ended up with a front & back yard, completed in the estimated timeline, that exceeded our expectations. Post project, we reached out to Zier Pools regarding a patio cover and a pool light issue and both were handled quickly and completely. Neighbors and people who pass by stop and comment on how much they love the front yard and anyone who has seen the backyard raves about the design and functionality. Zier Pools most definitely delivered the WOW factor and created a space that feels like a vacation retreat. We are beyond grateful to Zier Pools and highly recommend that anyone looking to install a pool check in with them before choosing a contractor. read more

I can't recommend Zier Pools enough. We recently had an issue with a weak spa jet, and even though we realized we were a few weeks outside of our warranty window, they didn't hesitate to help. Matt was super cool and made sure we were taken care of immediately. He sent out the plumbers who quickly identified the issue (a rock blocking the jet) and got it fixed. It's rare to find a builder who stands by their work and supports their clients even after the project is finished. If you are looking to build a pool, hire these guys! read more

After interviewing many pool companies, we were thrilled to find Zier! Don't bother looking elsewhere. Seriously, let the 3yrs of us looking for someone to build our pool be all you need. When we met Tim Zier, we knew we had found our guy. And our instincts were right. Tim was reliable, hard working, thoughtful, communicative, honest, on schedule, and their product/quality for value was reasonable. Tim Zier was so kind, patient and responsive with us during the whole process. He represents the company well. Tim was so good at stewarding our budget and giving us options when we would pose a new idea or addition. Not only was Tim a pleasure to work with, but each of his crew was as well. The crew were so hard working and clearly cared about each step of the process and their craft. There was a notable work ethic that the Zier crew carried that you don't always see these days. We have been swimming in our finished pool for exactly a month now and could not be happier. The pics speak for themselves. Thank you Tim and your team! read more

No regrets! The pool process is long and even longer for our neighbor down the street who chose a competitor. I wish there was enough space to explain that rough story! But at the end, our pool project was well worth the wait. I would recommend Matt Bagby to anyone who is evening thinking about a pool. He was extremely informative in educating us throughout the process, communicative (phone, email, text, smoke signs, etc.), and a pleasant person to work with. Even with the project ended, he continues answer questions and provides recommendations. That's true customer service. Thanks again for bringing smiles to my family! read more

PLEASE READ - Experience with Zier Pools (Apologies for the length) We can be high maintenance; I'm going to start with that. We expect quality and hold contractors accountable to their promises. Over the last year we have partnered with Zier for a major backyard remodel. What began as a demolishing and rebuild of our existing pool morphed into a far larger project, complete with retaining walls and additional complexity. We have done multiple similar sized projects in our life (each time more stressful than the next). But this experience was far different from the past. Tim Zier was astonishingly patient; sticking with us when we changed course. He also exhibited this restraint when we had issues with the work. Over a year remodel it's inevitable that both parties will, at times, get on each other's nerves. Tim was always professional and solutions oriented. When we disliked the tile colors, rather than point fingers, Tim worked on fixing rather than arguing. I never once, in a year, felt that Tim was frustrated with us. Spending a moment talking about the Zier team. We found Zier through a friend who told me they "showed up like an assembly line, predictable, with each person knowing their role." And he was dead right! Last week, when the work started to wind down, my wife and I looked at each other and said, "I'm kind of going to miss these guys in the back." They are, in a word, exceptional. Week on week they showed up at 6:58am, ready to start at 7:00am. Save for their lunch break, they were ALWAYS working; no grab ass going on with this crew. No cursing, no bad behavior; just positive attitudes with competency in their approach. They took immense pride in their trade too. After spending 14 days meticulously measuring and laying tile, the lead mason asked me in broken English, "How do you like my work?" In the end, my summary of the last year is this: - Zier's pricing is transparent, down to the cent. - Zier's work ethic is unlike any group with which I've worked - Zier's product is exactly what we wanted - Zier shows up exactly when they say they would - Zier's subs are top tier - Zier is collaborative; they work well with other contractors; never defensive over their turf - Zier is patient and flexible We love our backyard and Zier deserves all the credit! read more

Just had a spool built along with some hardscape and turf in our backyard. Our experience working with Tim Zier was seamless from start to finish. Tim was always available to answer any questions or concerns we had during the different stages of construction. He was a man of his word, honest and professional. We would highly recommend Zier Pools for your project! read more

Let's face it....when dealing with construction companies...unless you've used them in the past and trust them...is a toss up. And when you're making a large investment in your backyard, you want to be sure of what you're getting into. I never built a pool with Zier Pools and the Matt Bagby Team before so I was going in blind...I had an expectation that they would come in, build a nice pool, get me started and all would be happy. It is rare in my dealings with contractors these days that someone EXCEEDS EXPECTATIONS!! Matt Bagby and the guys on the project did just that...almost every step of the way. I am a particular guy and can tell when corners are cut or work is sub-standard. Nothing these crews did was sub-standard. You can tell the guys take pride in putting their name to these pool projects. From the pool to the hardscape to the retaining wall, concrete drain pour lids, tile work, mastic, etc. all was top notch and Matt helped coordinate every step of the way! Through my silly questions and last second changes he was there whenever I had a question or concern and made the experience all worthwhile and most importantly FUN! So if you're on the fence looking for a great company to build your dream backyard....take the plunge (pun intended) and work with the Bagby Team at Zier Pools and make the most of your money and make a few friends on the way! Special thanks to Noe, Andreas, Mario, Victor and all who made this backyard what it is today. It was a pleasure to work with you and now be a part of the Zier Family. Thank you Matt Bagby and Zier Pools!!!! read more

My experience working with Matt Bagby from Zier Pools was top notch. Matt is a knowledgeable, honest and responsive building professional that knows pools inside and out. The bidding process was very no pressure and Matt consulted on every inch of the job. Highly recommend anyone building a pool to consider Zier Pools and ask for Matt. read more

Couldn't recommend any other than Zier Pools. My wife and I did quite some research and we are so happy with the swimming pool one year in. Thank you so much for the excellent work and service. One year in we are enjoying the swimming pool. A spotlight stopped working and Jay and the team were able to replace it right away. Ian has done a great job at keeping the swimming pool pristine! Keep up the great work!! read more

We are sooo grateful for Zier Pools! We used them for our COVID backyard remodel and couldn't be happier with results. Beautiful quality products and workmanship.

Highly recommend! read more

Jay and his team did an AMAZING job on our pool. All the details were handled, we got exactly the pool our family was wanting and the customer service was impeccable. They finished our pool 2 years ago and for some reason our spa heater stopped working yesterday. I texted Jay that evening and a tech was at our house the next day and made the repair. Seriously, less than 24 hours and a tech was at our house and made the repair with no questions asked - 2 years after the pool was finished. I can't recommend these guys highly enough. read more

We recently had a few pool/spa lights go out as well the valve acuator. I was initially frustrated with the wait time for new lights and actuator replacement (which was out of Zier's control, Pentair issue). In an impulsive moment, I temporarily posted a one star update for Zier on a Saturday night for these issues that were out of their hands. That night, Jay and Tim Zier called me and continued to work to solve my issues even on a Sunday morning. Once I spoke with Jay, he had already arranged for a Pentair tech to replace both the light and acuator within a day. Despite the parts being months beyond 3 year warranty, Zier took care of this and I regret ever posting a low rating (even temporarily). Zier goes beyond the call of duty for their customers in a way that no other business does and of course cannot control all of the issues with Pentair parts/repair schedules. Highly recommend them to anyone! read more

This was our first venture into building a pool, and we could not be happier. From the first meeting with Matt Bagby, we knew we were in good hands. He walked us through the entire process, he was honest and up front from the start, and was reliable and present throughout the entire build. All project managers should be this hands on and involved in their work. Matt's efforts truly earned Zier Pools a top notch, 5-star review. He was even available for texts and calls at all hours and weekends. Building a pool can be a daunting task, and a costly one. So you want to be sure you're picking the right company and the right guy to work with to guide and navigate you through it all. From beginning to end, Matt was there for us. And we are now the happy owners of a beautiful new pool. Thank you Matt for your hard work and dedication. And thank you to the entire Zier Pools team! Cheers. read more

We recently had our pool completed and cannot say enough about how happy we are with our pool and Zier. Our contact was Gerry and he was amazing throughout the entire process. The communication was great, even with my constant texting, he always got right back to me and was very patient with my many questions. Our pool turned out even better than we had imagined. It's absolutely gorgeous. They also did our concrete and artificial turf, which both turned out great! I recommend that anyone looking to build a pool contact Zier first. You will not be disappointed. I'm including some before and after pics. read more

The first thing we did when we bought our new home was hire Zier Pools to transform our back yard oasis. Zier Pools built our pool over two years ago and we continue to be in awe of their creation. Jay and his team were extremely professional and completed our job in no time at all. I have recommended Zier Pools numerous times since our pool was completed. You cannot go wrong with Zier Pools if you are in the market for a new pool or spa. I highly suggest you let their design team make your dream pool reality! read more

What a great experience. Tim and Zier pools really came through. After shopping around receiving several quotes, my wife and I decided on going with Tim and Zier Pools. They not only did an amazing rendering of our pool design, but executed the build for our entire outdoor kitchen. Even when we had problems with the city due to a 50 year old easement, Tim stuck with us and helped us through the process. Highly recommend Zier and their top notch quality. You get what you pay for, and Zier Pools is worth every penny. read more

This company goes above and beyond! The quality of work they do is above average in attention to detail, customer relations, and speed of construction. They were always quick to respond to us, thorough in addressing our questions and concerns, and demonstrated integrity. Jay seemed to be available whenever we needed to connect. Furthermore, he is easy to talk to and get along with. We could not be happier with our backyard and would highly recommend Zier pools to anybody in the market!!! read more

There are not enough good words to describe how pleased we are with our pool. We are so happy we chose Zier to build our pool. The entire process was easy and very stress free. Our project manager Matt was heaven sent. He was always available for questions and reassurance when I second guessed my design choices. He communicated every step with us and always kept us informed. We wanted our yard to look and feel like a modern boutique hotel and Zier delivered. My husband and I are obsessed with our yard and can't wait to host and entertain family and friends in this beautiful space. Thank you Matt for leading this backyard project and making it so easy. It turned out beautifully - you really exceeded our expectations. read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about Zier Pools and Matt. We went through 3 bids and consultations and Matt was the only one who thought of positioning our pool for maximum yard usage. Matt's expertise, not to mention his kindness, responsiveness and and reliability is top notch. Something didn't seem right- fixed!; questions on weekends-answered!; accompanying me to tile store- no problem! We love our beautiful pool- it really is a dream come true with great design, support throughout the entire process, and superb craftsmanship. read more

We wrapped up our pool project with Zier Pools last weekend and we couldn't help resist sharing our experience working with Zier Pools and team. SUMMARY Zier Pools is fantastic and have been a blessing for this project. Building a pool is just not construction - its a work of extreme precision, coordination and only someone who is extremely passionate about this with skilled workers can make it happen. Zier Pools team are excellent in every aspect - customer service, quality of work, timeliness, clarity of budget and their love and passion to keep their customer happy. We are glad we decided to go with Zier Pools. I am providing my detailed experience below in building a big pool., spa and also a deck n firepit. DETAILS We spent ~2 to 3 months in 2020 talking to different pool companies, working on different designs and understanding the pros and cons of each company. After talking to about 4-5 different companies, I had shortlisted Majestic Pools and Premier Pools as my two options. While Majestic had some good design insights, their customer service was unresponsive (they couldn't keep up with the demand in calls and weren't proactive). Premier Pools had amazing customer service but timelines, design insights seemed blurry. A friend of mine insisted I talk to 'Tim Zier' @ Zier Pools. We ended up talking to Tim and this is the highlight of what followed since that meeting PRE-CONSTRUCTION - Tim didn't have availability for 2 weeks+ but helped accommodate since he knew I was on a strict timeline - Tim and Zier pool's prompt response and details in the initial quote was very impressive. - Tim and Zier pools team were clear about Covid issues with getting permits, setting expectations, and kept me updated regularly. While we had clarity in design, Tim did suggest a couple of changes, asked questions to coach us to the right decisions. CONSTRUCTION - Prep: We had neighbor issues and it was critical for our neighbors to understand some stuff better so they could approve fence removal for Bobcats to go through. Jay Zier (owner) personally came over along with Tim and helped alleviate those concerns - Design changes: The day the digging began Tim and Jay asked us if we had design changes. We reduced our pool size by 20% and Jay was very clear and supported this decision. He shared that he wanted us to be happy. This trend from Tim and Jay continued through the last day - we made several changes --- added a fire feature, added specific requests on material for fire features, firepit, unusual choice on tiles --- they supported all that with their honest feedback, follow on addendums and being very clear on pros and cons of each decision. The best thing through this process was they ensured that we could make a decision with the least $$ impact and highest RoI in quality of work and time. - Work: We hit several roadblocks through the way - equipment change, plumbing line changes, material availability, etc. Zier Pools proactively worked on sharing the specific issue, the impact on time and $$ as well as workarounds, if any. - Material Selection: We took a little longer than usual in the final selection of our material - Zier pools helped with changing themes, selection and accustomed to working it out with us on $$, timeliness and design choices. - FIRE PIT and DECK: We also worked with them with an update in plans to install a firepit and deck with specific requirements for the type of material, design choice etc. - they did is seamlessly. FINAL STAGE We were anxious to get our job done sooner but Zier Pools team helped set expectations on right timelines, amount of time it takes to do the tile assembly, lack of material availability (thanks to Covid's surge in demand !!) etc. Once everything was complete, Jay Zier, the owner ensured that one of his guys comes over the weekend and help start the pool machine on. Overall, Pool construction is an extremely extensive process that requires precision in demos, digging, tiles assembly (this one is a piece of art !) and final plaster. Zier Pools has different teams that work on each phase - every single team is phenomenal. We couldn't be any happier in being through this journey with Tim and Jay. Kudos to Tim Zier, Jay Zier and Gerry Hernandez. The final product becomes a lifetime memory for the family, kids, friends to enjoy - Zier Pools and team ensures that aspect of the construction every step of the way. They pour their heart and soul into the project - as Jay Zier says - "Its all worth it when you see the kids, friends and family enjoying the pool". Tim Zier - you were amazing ! Zier Pools Team - Thank You !! read more

Zier pools was one of three bids we got, and while it was the most expensive of the three, it had the clearest vision. It was also the only one stop shop that would do our pool, and our concrete decking. We have been working with Matt at Zier Pools since January, and the pool is now complete, with only some side projects left to complete. Working with Matt has been a breeze, lots of communication and realistic estimates of timelines and costs. He has been super flexible about making changes throughout the process, and has made some brilliant design suggestions that we would have never thought of. It has been really cool seeing all of these good ideas come together and come to life. We did light grey concrete decking, with dark grey concrete coping. White stacked stone, teal tile, and aqua white pebble tec. Looks so amazing. Matt also helped us build the dream BBQ island, it is so sick. If you have the $ and the patience, this is the crew you want to work with. Check the pics, they speak for themselves. read more

No need to search any further, you just found the awesome pool builder that you've been looking for! They deserve a 10 star rating! From the moment you first meet Jay Zier and his team, you will know that you're in good hands. They are extremely professional, prompt and polite. They will help you design the yard of your dreams! I'm sure you've heard plenty of horror stories of other pool companies who start projects and then have days that turn into weeks where no one shows up. Well, that's most definitely NOT how Zier rolls. Jay said our project would take 3 months and they finished it not only on time, but EARLY. There was never one day where we waited and wondered when they were going to show up. It was quite the opposite! Every morning, the various Zier crews would arrive a few minutes before 7am and begin working immediately. We were blown away by their efficiency. While one crew would be finishing, the next would be starting. The various crews were polite and respectful. The Zier team could not have been more professional during all stages of the process. From our initial meeting, to "demo day", to the last tree being planted, Jay and his rock star team where accessible and dependable. Yes, I would choose them all over again. Jaws drop when they walk into our yard. Their craftsmanship is as good as it gets. This was at the top of our family bucket list and Zier Pools brought it to life. Cheers to Jay Zier and his awesome team! read more

Zier Pools was Awesome! We had various quotes and some were way out of budget with minimal build! Tim Brown came in and gave us a solid quote , reasonable and addressed our main issues and requests. He designed us an amazing free form pool with all the works. We wanted a Waterfall, Jacuzzi, LED lights, Saltwater , Pebble Tec, fire features etc....the works. Tim was on it , he informed us of the process throughout the build, he always answered or called back promptly with any questions or concerns we had . Everyone on the Zier Pools team we encountered was very professional and diligent in the craft and hard dedicated workers. The pool coping is great, pool tile is clean, rock work very precise. I highly advise you give Tim at Zier Pools a call he is an excellent project manager and will lead you every step of the way! Our pool Started March and Ended mid June. Just in time for summer , we are excited ! Thanks again Tim and everyone at Zier Pools for you hardwork and dedication ! read more

When my wife and I moved out to California, we dreamed about putting in a pool, having moved from the frozen tundra of the mid-west. So we did a ton of research, spoke to friends and neighbors who had pools, and even spoke with a few contractors. One contractor we met with gave us a rectangle drawing "design" that looked like a 5 year did it and one forgot to show up to our initial appointment. Nothing makes a first impression like forgetting about a potential customer! These experiences, combined with the horror stories we heard from friends and neighbors about their experiences, made us VERY nervous to move forward. Then we met Jay and the guys at Zier Pools and thankfully that all changed. From the start Jay was professional, timely, and responsive. He was more than willing to explain the process, answer our questions and most importantly, calm our fears. In the first few weeks, I think Jay spent more time at our kitchen table than he did at his own. Showing us designs, making tweaks, and sharing information we needed to know as first-time pool owners. I also appreciated that Jay didn't sell us on anything, and limited our choices to ones he's seen good results with. Other folks we spoke to basically said "here's a book - pick something" whereas Jay would say "here are all of your choices, these 3 are the best, these 3 are OK, and avoid these other 10. Since we never put in a pool before, and the number of choices you have to make is overwhelming, you need someone to guide you and Jay did just that. When we got Jay's bid the first thing we noticed was how detailed it was. There was a line item for every single thing. Everything that was planned was accounted for, and the costs were all clearly outlined in the proposal. Allowing us to make changes as we saw fit, and understanding how it would impact the overall cost. As things got underway, the crews showed up early, worked hard, and stayed until the job was done. You ever drive on the highway and see a crew of 20 people, where 2 are digging and the other 18 are standing around? That was not the case with these guys. They worked their butts off. Since we work from home, we got to watch the project unfold and to know the guys a bit. In addition to being professional and highly skilled, each one was nicer than the next. It's obvious they take pride in their work, and enjoy working with Jay, and that comes through in the final product. No uneven surfaces, misaligned tiles, or shoddy craftsmanship. As for Jay, he was always available via phone, text, or e-mail. he'd stop by the project regularly and come by when we had questions. One day we wanted to make a last minute change and add a fire pit (surprise!) so Jay came to our house at 7am prior to an appointment he had to meet with us, tell his crew what to do, and make the change. That is service you simply don't get anywhere else. Sorry about that Jay... You get the sense from Jay that he loves making customers happy and enjoys what he does. Always pleasant on the phone, via text, or in-person, even when we're asking to move something around, make a last-minute change, or inquiring if we could fill the pool with Jell-O. He answers every single question thoroughly, with a great sense of humor, and quickly. To us the most pleasant surprise was there wasn't a single major issue on our project. Not one "uh-oh" or "hey we figured out we can't do what you're asking" and we passed all inspections on the first try. That to me comes from excellent planning, a skilled crew, and setting expectations upfront. I think our most major issue was there were some tire tracks on our sidewalk that needed to be power washed off... I'll take that "issue" any day of the week. Finally let me say a word about cost as I'm sure that's what you're wondering about. Putting in a pool is not cheap. Far from. But when putting in a pool you don't WANT cheap. You want quality. And quality costs money. You want to shop your project around and find someone who will do it for less? Knock yourself out. But when it springs a leak two weeks later, or they go bankrupt and you're left with a big hole in your backyard with no recourse, don't say I didn't warn you. Jay and his crew do quality work you can't put a price on. And since we saw the entire project unfold working from home and most people don't, I can tell you from experience you have NO idea how much work, time, and materials go into building one of these things. It's amazing it didn't cost more. So do your homework, shop around, but when you're ready to get serious hire Zier Pools. You'll be glad you did. read more

We had our first meeting with Matt B. and Zier Pools in May of 2023 and just finished our backyard project a couple months ago (March 2024). Matt and his team made the entire process enjoyable (as construction can be) and the outcome more than we envisioned. We began our backyard transformation journey by meeting with at least three different pool builders and landscape designers. Immediately after meeting with Matt, and seeing his proposed design, we knew that we didn't need to speak with anyone else. We quickly felt that we could trust Matt and his team. He communicated clearly and often, set expectations, and was accountable for every aspect of the project from start to finish. While it's obvious he is quite busy, Matt communicates proactively and will always return a missed call. From the very first meeting, Matt was clear that we were entering a long-term relationship. He stressed that both sides needed to feel comfortable and in sync. He was explicit with what our responsibilities were, what his responsibilities were, but still provided great help with those aspects outside of Zier's purview (such as HOA approvals). He also gave us great recommendations for third parties needed for side projects (such as landscaping and tree removal services). Personally, I am someone who is extremely detail oriented, needs to know how every aspect of the project was being done, and is uncomfortable not being in control. Coupled with my work-from-home situation, which allowed me to watch the project unfold every single day, the thought of yielding control over a project this large was anxiety-inducing. However, I quickly became comfortable with Matt's communication style, transparency, and honesty. He was happy to explain each part of the process to me in incredible detail, answer any questions I had, and he continued to set (and reset, when necessary) expectations throughout the entire project. Once construction began, we were thrilled to see the level of care everyone paid our new home and backyard project. Each and every crew member was careful, respectful, and very pleasant to interact with when we crossed paths. With any project of this size, there were bound to be unexpected hurdles and challenges. Matt informed us of all of these possibilities in advance, telling us more than once, "I want to avoid the potential for any surprises." Just another way in which Matt reinforced the trust that we placed in him. With every decision point, and there are many, Matt provided recommendations, guidance, and cautions while allowing us to make our own decisions and not influencing us in any way. He provided context about what he has seen work well, what doesn't work so well, and what other customers liked/disliked. He was also direct about the pros and cons of any additions or options that came up as the project evolved, allowing us to make informed decisions. During a process with so many permanent decisions to be made, his guidance was invaluable. The final product is more than we could have imagined when we started. Matt and team helped us to adjust our initial vision into something even better, and made it a reality. Without a doubt, we would recommend Matt and Zier Pools to anyone looking for a pool/hardscape project. Our only regret is not being better Spanish speakers so we could communicate our gratitude and admiration to the many people who spent countless hours and immense energy helping to make our dream a reality. read more

Our pool and landscape is finished and it's beautiful! HIGHLY RECOMMEND ZIER POOLS. I will start with how we ended up choosing Zier pools, aka Jay Zier. My husband and I sought out about 8 different local companies in the San Diego area. All pricing was very comparable across the board. We met with Jay 2nd and he was the most responsive and easiest to reach. He communicated via phone, text and email. Once we met him, we liked him from the start. In my mind, I had already hired him, but we still went through looking at other pool installers. There was one other pool company we liked; and narrowed it down to Zier Pools & Del Rancho Pools. But, I will say, I was still pretty sure I was hiring Jay Zier. His presentation, (quote & drawing) was really easy to read and his design was perfect. He was quick to provide it, where other companies made you jump through hoops. Zier Pools offered much more flexibility, you worked directly with the owner. Jay is down to earth and very very knowledgeable and his work in Southern California speaks for itself. I was and still am very nervous about hiring any contractor (too many horror stories), but Jay made me feel comfortable about the process and I honestly felt I could trust him. Putting in a pool is no small project! So, we hired Zier. He pulled permits that week and started the dig the following week. It's moving right along smoothly. We hit rock and his guys got it out and now they are laying rebar today! His team is very professional and easy to talk too. Jay is on site and just a text away. Super responsive and involved. I highly recommend Zier Pools. Many of the companies we interviewed; you are just a number. They are not personal and they are not flexible. Don't settle for a large pool company, hire a pool contractor and get better service and results.They don't communicate well from the start. I could only imagine how hard it would be to put in a pool with a contractor or large pool company who was not communicating with you every step of the way. Not with Zier! Extremely easy to reach and he makes the effort to keep you informed and ease your nervousness about any processes, and it seems completely natural for him. He's very relaxed and professional. Pool is done and it's amazing. It took 6 weeks from start to finish with one week that no one worked! So really 5 weeks. I don't see why some companies take months. The steps shouldn't take that long unless there are major hiccups. Zier Pools exceeded my expectations and I have extremely high expectations. Zier provides quality work, great communication and quick results without sacrificing on quality. He uses the best pool equipment and does not cut corners! Hire Zier Pools above all else if you want the perfect pool or dream backyard. read more

A Stellar Experience with Zier Pools: Expertise, Professionalism, and Timely Delivery We recently had the pleasure of working with Zier Pools for the installation of a pool on our property during the spring, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From the initial consultation to the final product, Zier Pools demonstrated unparalleled expertise, professionalism, and a commitment to meeting and exceeding our expectations. One of the standout aspects of our experience with Zier Pools was their impeccable adherence to deadlines. Every milestone in the project was not only met but often exceeded, showcasing their dedication to delivering a high-quality product in a timely manner. This punctuality not only speaks volumes about their efficiency but also helped alleviate any concerns we might have had about project delays. The crews working on our pool installation were not only skilled but also incredibly professional. Their attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the project, from excavation to the finishing touches. It was clear that the team took great pride in their work, and this commitment to excellence translated into a pool that not only met but surpassed our expectations. A special commendation is reserved for Tim Brown, the project manager from Zier Pools. Tim's knowledge and expertise were instrumental in guiding us through each step of the process, from the initial demolition to the unveiling of the final product. His ability to communicate complex details in an accessible manner made us feel involved and informed throughout the entire project. Tim's proactive approach and responsiveness to our queries further underscored Zier Pools' commitment to customer satisfaction. The end result of Zier Pools' work is a stunning and meticulously crafted pool that has become the centerpiece of our outdoor space. The quality of construction, attention to detail, and the overall aesthetics of the pool are a testament to Zier Pools' dedication to delivering not just a pool but a tailored and exceptional experience for their clients. In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Zier Pools to anyone seeking a professional and reliable pool installation company. Their commitment to excellence, adherence to deadlines, and the expertise of individuals like Tim Brown make them a standout choice in the industry. We are grateful for the outstanding work Zier Pools has done for us and are thoroughly enjoying the beautiful addition to our home. read more

Zier Pools installed our gorgeous pool and patio over the winter and spring, and we are so happy to recommend them to others. We did a lot of research and narrowed our search down to three pool installation companies. We ultimately chose Zier (and Tim Brown, Zier's project manager on our project) because of the transparency, the pool design based on our answers to their questions on how we would use the pool, the delivered 3D pool animation etc, and Tim's willingness to work with us to try to stay within budget. This was such a huge project, with many tentacles and decisions to be made along the way. Tim helped us focus on what was most important at each phase and made sure we understood all the options and impact on budget. We especially appreciated Tim's active involvement on the project, with almost weekly site visits, and one-pagers to get us ready for each major construction phase - detailing what to expect, what decisions need to be made, etc. He was also very patient with us as we made some mid-project adjustments. Along the way, he helped us envision the possibilities within our budget (of which there were many!) and also informed us of some possibilities that were just out of the budget but that he sensed we might like if we could stretch the budget slightly. In all, we stayed within budget -- going for a couple small upgrades, offset by a couple of places to cut due to our mid-project design change. Finally, we appreciated the billing transparency. All costs at each phase were broken down in detail, including the amount of material (tile, pebble finish, turf, pavers, etc.). When we noticed a discrepancy in the amount of material installed vs one invoice, we brought this to Tim's attention and he graciously came out to re-measure, acknowledged the error and credited the savings to our next invoice. It's important to note that the discrepancy was an easy mistake to make, as it was due to our revisions on pavers and turf late in the process. We'd be happy to talk to anyone interested about our experience with Tim and Zier Pools. This monster of a project was made so much simpler by Tim and his process, and the results are fantastic! read more

If you're looking for a pool builder, stop searching and call Jay Zier at Zier Pools. After completing our project, I can honestly say he is the best contractor I've ever worked with--and I've worked with a lot of contractors over the years. From day one, Jay's commitment to customer service was exceptional. No matter how big or small the issue, he personally got involved to make sure it was handled the right way. It never felt like we were being passed off to someone else; Jay was always accessible, responsive, and genuinely invested in making sure we were happy with every aspect of the project. Our backyard wasn't a typical pool build. It included several unique design challenges that required creativity, flexibility, and some serious problem-solving. One of the biggest was pouring an 8-foot-deep reinforced vault adjacent to the pool to house a recessed outdoor TV system--something that required careful planning and ingenuity. Jay embraced these challenges instead of avoiding them and worked with us every step of the way to bring our vision to life. Another pleasant surprise was pricing. We received bids from three other reputable pool companies, and not only was Zier Pools the most responsive, but Jay's proposal was also the most competitive. We never felt like we were sacrificing quality to save money--in fact, we received an incredible value. What really sets Jay apart, though, is who he is as a person. He's honest, straightforward, incredibly easygoing, and genuinely enjoyable to work with. Building a pool can be stressful, but Jay made the entire experience feel manageable and even enjoyable. By the end of the project, it honestly felt like we had gained a friend rather than simply hired a contractor. He treats his clients like family, and that level of care is rare these days. I recommend Jay and Zier Pools without hesitation. If I were building another pool tomorrow, I wouldn't even consider getting another bid--I would call Jay. read more

"Exceptional Craftsmanship and Service" Choosing Zier Pools was the best decision we made for our backyard oasis. From start to finish, their team was exceptional. We met with several companies (6 total), but Zier Pools stood out immediately. They guided us through every step of the process with unmatched responsiveness, helpfulness, and patience. Jay and Noe were professional, experienced, and truly listened to our needs and desires. Our project was complicated with multiple levels to our outdoor space. We wanted a swim up bar that opened up into an outdoor kitchen and tv wall. A jacuzzi that was higher up than the pool to take advantage of the bay views. We wanted 3 different water features that showed off different areas of the pool and tiles we chose. We had a double gate that led into backyard and we wanted to close off and create a more secure gated entry. We chose tiles that were not easy to work with and they made it look simple as they were tiling each area and measured everything out perfectly so it was uniform in everyway. Their attention to detail and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident in every interaction. They worked tirelessly to ensure our vision was realized, creating a pool that surpassed our expectations. Zier Pools utilized top-notch materials and innovative techniques, resulting in a pool that is not only beautiful but also built to last. The end result is nothing short of spectacular, we now have our dream pool, perfectly tailored to our space and lifestyle. We couldn't be happier with the outcome and highly recommend Zier Pools to anyone looking to create their own perfect pool. Jay and Noe's commitment to excellence is truly unparalleled and it shows they truly love what they do. Thank You Zier Pools for turning our backyard into a lifetime of family memories!

Zier Pools is amazing! We thought about redoing our backyard for years and finally made the decision to move forward last summer. We worked from start to finish with Matt Bagby. The first time we met with Matt, he took notes and listened to our feedback. After he measured the yard he came back to us with a complete 3D model. He incorporated everything we wanted to do. Matt provided estimates based on the features we wanted (waterfalls, grill, etc.) so everything was very transparent. The cost of the project was presented up front and there were no surprises. Anytime I had questions, Matt would answer them immediately. Matt designed our pool and was always at the house overseeing the work. He walked us through every step of the project (demolition, steel, shotcrete, coping, tile, plaster). If I had any questions, Matt was always two steps ahead and made sure everything went smoothly. The entire team at Zier was very knowledgeable and professional. You could tell they have many years of experience in this industry. Jay and Freddy came to our home many times to oversee the project and make sure everything was on time. Noe manages the masonry team and they did an incredible job with all the stone and tile. Victor handled some of the detail work and was meticulous and thorough. My wife and kids are so happy with the outcome of this project. Matt Bagby and the entire team at Zier Pools brought a thoughtful plan to our yard and made the best use of our space. Our yard has been transformed from a rarely used small patio and grass to a backyard oasis that feels like a resort. We now use the yard every day and it is nice to have a place to relax and have fun with the family. We highly recommend using Zier Pools for your backyard project. They are honest, professional and will bring the highest quality craftsmanship to your home. read more

If we could give them 100 stars we would. Going into the pool process can be daunting. Anyone that's embarked on this journey knows the research shows pool companies rarely finish on schedule and on average have a 30% overrun. Zier proved the research wrong! From the moment we contacted them, it was professionalism at it's finest. The first meeting was at our house with our potential PB, Matt Bagby, who just has a great, laid back personality. Don't get that confused with a lack of knowledge , because he explained the entire process that day in our backyard. He really listened to what we wanted, our concerns and our fear on embarking on such a large project. He was on top of everything from permitting, to ground breaking, and all the way through the build. What I really appreciated was Matt's standard of work. If it didn't meet his level, he would have it redone, period. We spoke to him multiple times per week. In a sense, he became our best friend during the process because we spoke to him way more than any of our friends. He didn't sugar coat anything, either. If there was a problem, he met with us to discuss how they were going to remedy it. Honestly, the entire Zier team was like family. They''re so nice and their craftsmanship is 110%. Each Zier employee, I felt, was just as excited for us to get this pool as we were, and that's hard to find, especially in such a long, arduous process. At the end, Zier finished ahead of schedule and on budget. No delays (seriously, not one) and ZERO overruns. If you want peace of mind, professionalism, QUALITY, Zier is for you. You will have zero buyers remorse and you may even miss them all when the pool is done. We have used our pool/hot tub every single day since they finished (about a month ago), and we couldn't be happier. read more

My wife and I initially took our custom design and bid it out to several different companies, but after meeting with Jay Zier, we connected, offer was very competitive, and it felt like the overall right fit for us He was both enthusiastic and confident his team would deliver our dream backyard--and they absolutely did. It was very helpful and reassuring with Jay because he was always responsive and available to answer questions. He referred us to National Pool Tile and helped us select tile and finishes always giving us his honest opinion without upselling anything. We wanted a few major custom features: a perimeter overflow spa, a custom mermaid tail mosaic, huge Baja shelf with bubblers (for the kids) and a swim jet. A massive shoutout goes to Jaasiel, Zier's masonry specialist. He is super nice and his work ethic is next level. He spent days hand-laying every single tile for both the perimeter overflow and the intricate mermaid tail mosaic. See photos - it came stunning and exactly the way we hoped. Jay introduced us to Kenny, who handles the landscaping and lighting. Kenny is an absolute perfectionist and will say it like it is if he doesn't think it'll look nice. He is met us at the nursery to make sure we got every single plant on our list, and he even went to several other nurseries on his own to hunt down and hand-pick the absolute best options available. He encouraged and sometimes pulled us back to create a beautiful, balanced soft scape against the sea of pavers. Zier Pools made our backyard oasis reality. We are so happy with everything and have received so many compliments from friends, neighbors, and family. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to bring their dream outdoor space to life! read more

We had been talking about building a pool for years and finally decided to move forward last summer. We reached out to three different pool companies, including Zier Pools, to get ideas and proposals. The experiences couldn't have been more different. One company scheduled an appointment and never showed up. Another came out but was unprofessional, promised a proposal for a lagoon-style pool, and then completely disappeared. Then there was Zier Pools, they set the standard from the very beginning. Tim Brown came to our home, carefully assessed our yard, and suggested a pool design that actually gave us more usable yard space than the lagoon style we initially had in mind. He was incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and took the time to answer every question we had. When we met with him at their office, he had a detailed, professional proposal ready to go and walked us through every step of the process, including costs, timeline, payment schedule, without any pressure whatsoever. From that point on, the experience only got better. The construction process was smooth, and every crew Zier brought in was top-notch. One thing we especially appreciated was the group text Tim set up with us, so that every phase was clearly communicated, and any questions we had were answered quickly. We can honestly say the entire process exceeded our expectations. Our pool turned out absolutely gorgeous, and we couldn't be happier with the result. If you're considering building a pool, we highly recommend Tim Brown and Zier Pools. Professional, responsive, and truly exceptional from start to finish. read more

Zier Pools is so outstanding, I was compelled to share our experience. We had four builders come out. The cost was comparable, but Zier Pools was exceptional from the outset. They were the only builders to offer ONE point of contact throughout the entire project. Our project manager, Tim Brown, was with us every step of the way and he was stellar. Vastly knowledgeable, kind and always responsive, Tim communicated with us numerous times per week, giving us updates and detailed outlines of each step. Tim was also onsite every week, often several times per week throughout the entire project. One crew after another came out (excavation, plumbing, electrical, coping/tile, pebble, etc.), did their part, then the next crew would come out, like clockwork, each a master of their craft. In addition to the beautiful pool & spa Zier built for us, they expertly installed 1,500 sq ft of limestone pavers to match our coping, including custom removable pavers on top of our water valves. They were a joy to work with, even in the midst of challenges, e.g. hitting solid rock during excavation. Tim Brown and Zier Pools always had a solution, going above and beyond for us. They built wooden barriers on the sides of our house so our dog could play safely during construction; they reinstalled our gates in compliance with city regulations when our landscaper couldn't come out in time before an inspection; they reset broken tiles on our front porch, which wasn't part of our project, and much more. They are honest, hardworking, and exceptional pool builders. read more

Zier Pools has exceeded our expectations and blew us away with our pool experience. From the initial meeting with Tim Brown (our project manager), he definitely made us feel comfortable and always made himself available throughout the entire process. His professionalism, positive vibes and the willingness to listen and capture to what we had envisioned in our backyard is just a few reasons why we ultimately chose Zier Pool as our contractor. Throughout the entire process from start to finish Tim was apart of every aspect of the project from the design, build, and guidance of the selection of materials. He provided extensive details, information and communicated regularly. He made the whole project flow effortlessly and in a way became apart of our family. From excavation, rebar, plumbing, electricians, cement, to the team who installed the coping, tile and pavers did an amazing job. Lastly, the crew who completed the pebble finish/acid wash was top notch. All these crews played a pivotal role to ensure our pool was completed on time and the quality was superb. Hands down we made the right decision when we chose Zier Pools to complete our dream pool and backyard oasis as our entire family is beyond excited. Our sincere appreciation to Zier Pools and especially our fantastic Project Manager, Tim for all of your efforts, dedication and hard-work, as we will be forever thankful!! We will definitely recommend Zier Pools to anyone who is looking for an A+ company as your design and build professionals! Taylor Family read more

If you're looking to transform your backyard into a slice of paradise, look no further than Zier Pool Contractors! From start to finish, our experience with them has been nothing short of amazing. We contacted Zier with a vision for a tropical pool, and they delivered beyond our expectations. The team was incredibly professional and diligent, guiding us through every step of the process. They took the time to understand our needs, provided invaluable advice, and truly personalized our pool design. What impressed us the most was their commitment to customer satisfaction. They came back promptly to address any corrections or warranty issues, ensuring that our dream pool was not just a reality but a perfect one. Their attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile was refreshing and greatly appreciated. Since the pool has been completed, our backyard has transformed into our family's favorite spot. We now use it every day! Before Zier, our outdoor space was underutilized, but now it's filled with laughter, fun, and cherished moments. It's incredible to see how much more active and engaged our family is because of this beautiful addition. If you love pools and want to create a space where your family can gather, relax, and swim, I wholeheartedly recommend Zier Pool Contractors. Thanks to them, we have the perfect tropical oasis right in our backyard! read more

Zier Pools helped us to build our dream pool late in 2019. We didn't even know how lucky we were to get them until deep into the constructions process, and we are so happy we chose them! I would highly recommend this team if you are looking to build a pool. Gerry was our lead and helped us to understand every decision we were asked to make in style/size/location/materials etc. He designed a pool/spa/fire pit and helped to set us up for future phases of renovation on our bare lot backyard. The crew that came out daily worked fast but more importantly cleaned up their space every single day, and respected our yard and our neighbors - which was invaluable! He respected our budget when we wanted to cut back or add on, and was always knowledgeable and responsive with our questions. Every suggestion Gerry and the team made really optimized our budget, and since this was our very first pool project we really trusted his suggestions. Our friends who have advised us (who have owned multiple polls) are also really impressed with even the little things like construction of the concrete, placement of the lights, and style of pool equipment. Every little detail was planned and purposeful, and like I said we didn't even know how lucky we were in choosing Zier. I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to build out a pool/backyard in our area! read more

In mid-2018 we began our search for a pool builder to help us build our dream pool. We had met with various pool builders. They came in all shapes and sizes from slick salespeople to builders that didn't have a clue. We came across the Zier Pools website and truly fell in love with what we saw. We had a feeling that this was the company that could bring our dream pool to life. Jay came to our home to take in the property and listen to our vision. The key word here is listen. He heard us and was able to turn our vision and dream into a reality. Jay was always true to his word and met every one of his commitments. We never had to second guess anything that he told us. We were lucky to meet everyone during each phase of the build. They were all so gracious and put in the quality of work as if they were building their own pool. Jay was always present at each major stage of the project and constantly communicated with us. He helped us with critical decisions regarding tile choices, pebble color, coping, etc without pushing us into spending more on something that wasn't right. At the end of the project, we were blessed with a manifestation of our vision which was on budget and on time. We are so incredibly blessed to have the opportunity to work with Jay and his team. We wholeheartedly endorse and recommend Jay and the entire Zier Pools team. read more

Since our first meeting with Gerry from Zier Pools, we've been extremely pleased with the honest, transparent communication. The quote was detailed & of the 4 companies we sought quotes from Zier was the ONLY one who LOCKED in their quote even though they couldn't start our pool for 2-3 months (none of the companies could start any earlier). They started about 6 weeks earlier than Gerry had thought & finished a week early! There were NO SURPRISE, no price changes & when we decided we wanted a bigger baja shelf, Gerry allowed us to pay the shotcrete guy directly to save us money! Gerry was patient & met us at the coping/tile & decking showrooms to help us pick out what we envisioned & provided us a detailed 2-D image of what our pool/spa/deck & built in BBQ would look like (& final project is stunning & EXACTLY what we wanted!). Zier Pool's quote was middle of the road of the 4 quotes but again, given he guaranteed the Quoted Price & others would not (2 said the final price would reflect the market costs of subcontractor & materials when pool was under construction so not worth the paper it was written on!) The quality of the work & materials used are 5 Star, top shelf & stunning. Having survived a few "home projects, previous pool construction & remodels, working with ZIER POOLS was by far the BEST experience!" we could not be happier. read more

We recently hired Matt and Zier Pools to build our dream pool, and we couldn't be more impressed with the entire experience! From start to finish, they exceeded our expectations in every way. Professionalism: From our first consultation, it was clear that Matt is an expert in his field. He took time to understand exactly what we wanted, offering helpful suggestions without pushing unnecessary extras. His communication throughout the process was outstanding - he kept us informed at every stage and was ALWAYS available to answer questions. This was our first ever home construction project as new home owners and we were so well taken care of. Quality of work: The craftsmanship and attention to detail are second to none. The pool itself is gorgeous, and the entire design came out better than we imagined. The installation was done with precision, and you can really tell that Zier takes great pride in their work. Timeliness: We were very intimidated about potential delays with a construction project of this magnitude. But Zier was efficient and stayed on track and built our dream pool in a very timely manner. What really sets Zier apart is their exceptional customer service. Matt and his team were courteous, professional and incredibly respectful of our property. We highly recommend Zier and Matt to anyone looking to build a pool!! read more

We couldn't be happier with how our pool built by Zier Pools turned out. From the initial consult with Andrew and Jay, we knew right away that they were the company we could trust to turn our backyard into the ultimate hang out spot. Andrew and Jay had ideas for our backyard that we hadn't thought of and that other pool companies didn't come up with. Being a family owned company we could tell they took pride in what they did and we could feel their enthusiasm during the consultations. The process was easy. They presented their 3D rendering of how they had envisioned our backyard we had few minor tweaks and the process was underway. Zier Pools started construction immediately after receiving our permit back from the county. Everyone, from their subcontractors to all their employees were professional, efficient, and always cleaned up after themselves. Jay and Andrew were always very responsive to phone calls and texts throughout the process to address any questions or concerns we had. They also even took video of construction and sent it to us while we were out of town for 2 weeks to show us how construction was progressing. The final result was better than how we imagined it. The pool, concrete work, retaining walls all tied in beautifully to our existing yard. We love our new pool and owe all it all to Zier. Thank you! read more

We interviewed 3 pool companies but we hired Zier Pools because of Tim Zier and his ability to bring our vision to life in his initial design presentation. It was important to us that we hired not only a reputable company, but also work with someone who we felt we could trust and establish a good working relationship with. Tim Zier definitely fit the bill. We hired Zier Pools to build our pool, BBQ grill and fire pit. Tim helped us turn our boring backyard into our own little oasis! Planning for our pool started in April 2021. It took a year before we broke ground due to Covid causing delays in obtaining our pool permit. But once all our permits were finally approved, Tim's crew hit the ground running! Not only were they fast, but they were respectful of us and our property. They made sure to tidy up the work site before they left every day! Tim was always available to us when we had any questions. He responded quickly to our texts and emails, ensured that any obstacles that surfaced during construction were addressed quickly and that we passed all our city inspections. It took 5 months to complete our project. We were not only blown away by the realization of our backyard vision but also the quality of Zier Pool's work! We would, without any reservations, highly recommend Zier Pools to any of our friends and family. read more
