    Zim saved us from the disaster of ruining our pool and took it back to 100%. We are beyond happy with Zim and are forever grateful for his help and time. He has made this summer extra special for my family now that we can enjoy the pool. Thank you so much for all your hard work and effort in taking care of our disaster of a pool. Zim rocks!!

    Zim came to our house when we first moved here and showed us all problems and potential problems with our inherited pool. He gave us a competitive quote and promptly fixed all issues and installed our new pool equipment. Since then he's been available 24/7 for any pool issues or questions that have come up. He comes by often to check on things and help with anything needed. Dudes also just a nice guy to talk to, which isn't necessary but helps. If you're in the area and need a good pool expert, definitely hit up Zim!

    He cleaned up everything!!! It was a moldy, leave, dirt Laden, green watered pool. I will only work with Zims Pool Svs!

    This is the Chik-fil-a of pool services! I can't rave enough about this family-owned and operated business. They are punctual, reliable, hard working, and have great customer service skills. They are transparent about their services and prices and never tried to push an unnecessary service onto us. They are very knowledgeable and passionate about this line of work. We had rust spots in the plaster and they were able to explain in full detail the causes to the problem and how to solve it. Plus they were able to thoroughly explain how to work the new water heater we had them install. Prior to starting their service, they drove to multiple stores trying to find the right product for our pool, making sure we were getting exactly what we were looking for. Rocky and Camille were so sweet to me and my family. If it wouldn't have been for their schedule I would have probably invited them for dinner. I was really impressed by their hard work, especially during the whole sand-blasting process, and yet they always had a smile on their faces. They resurfaced our pool tiles from 1970s and made them look brand new! Throughout the process they were checking in to see if I was content with how it was looking. They even left everything pristine before leaving. Next time I won't waste my time comparing prices- with this company I was able to get top quality service and unbeatable prices.

    Cheap PVC pipes and valve used by previous pool repair contractor.

    My pool pump lost suction unexpectedly on a Saturday morning so I called my regular pool repair guy to come over and see what's wrong. Since Saturday is the busiest day of the week for most pool guys, my regular guy was unable to return my call immediately so I began reaching out to new prospective contractors who can address it ASAP. Out of the 3 contractors that I reached out to, Zim was the only one who was able to squeeze me in to his hectic schedule the soonest while also providing a reasonable diagnostic fee that could go towards the repair cost if he performs the repair. He came over and diagnosed that there were hairline fractures that developed over time on the old PVC plumbing that my regular pool guy did for me several years ago. Air was leaking out of those cracks causing my pump to lose suction power. He alleviated the issue temporarily by plugging the cracks to restore suction power for the day and scheduled another day to come back out for the actual repair work of replacing the fractured PVC pipes, as well as the cheap valves that are no longer functioning well. His total job estimate was reasonable and he seems to be a trustworthy guy so I went with him instead. He replaced the old PVC pipes with a much better CPVC pipes so it last longer and can better handle the elements of outdoor that the previous pipes failed to do. He also replaced the cheap valves with Never Lube Jandy valves that now allows me to better control the suction and return of my pump. The placement and direction of where the pipes go were well-thought-out so now I get more clearance to program/operate my pump than I did before without losing suction power. I highly recommend Zim for refusing to use cheap materials even though he can. He could have just used inferior materials (like my pool guy did) to increase his profit margin because most customers like me are clueless anyway. He instead values quality work and customer's satisfaction over earning a quick buck which makes him a very wise businessman. For that reason, I'm going to call Zim from now on for my future pool repair needs and will refer him to my families and friends who also own pool and face the same challenges of maintaining their pool equipment.

    I had my pool start up with Zim. Excellent service and very professional. I highly recommend him. Thank you, Zim.

    Several months later, our pool is sparkling clean and fresh and they are consistent with their services. They also service my spa which has never been cleaner. Also, after July 4, there was so much debris in my pool. I was having as pool party the next day, so Zimm agreed to a emergency cleaning and made sure the pool was spotless for my party. highly recommend his services.

Knowing that we cannot go without a working unit throughout the summer, I needed service quick. Going through Yelp, I texted Superior (because of the great reviews, I needed someone trustworthy). I received a reply from Mike within 10 minutes. After a back and forth on a Friday, sending him all my pool pump information, Mike quoted me on a new motor. By the Saturday, George was at my home installing the new motor. George was very nice, and appeared very knowledgeable. He was done in 2 hours, and left the area clean. The new motor is energy efficient, and to tell you the truth, getting the upgrade/replacement has made a difference. I haven't seen my pump run this well in years. Kudos to Superior for their prompt service and dedication to customers in need!

If…read morehe is not able to take the call immediately, he has always returned my call within an hour. He is a very pleasant man and knows his stuff about everything pool related. Steve also made me aware of a $400 SoCalGas rebate for my new heater and made it super easy for me to send the form and photos to them. I am techno challenged, so that was very helpful. The service technician who has responded my house and performed the work has always been Brain. Brian has been in the biz for 28 years. He has also forgotten more about pools and equipment than I will ever know. Brian just replaced my old heater with a new one in about an hour. The new plumbing and electrical looks awesome. He also arranged for pickup of the 24 year old monstrous metal heater. Why mess with perfection. I'm sticking with OC Pool and Spa

    I initially had a very positive impression of Anthony. He was responsive and helpful, and I…read moreactually saved his number because I thought I had found someone I could rely on for future pool repairs. I was even considering switching our regular weekly pool maintenance service to his company. Unfortunately, my experience changed completely after the service visit was completed and paid for. We contacted Anthony because our pool heater was not working. Our regular pool technician had already determined that the blower had stopped working, so we purchased a new blower. We asked Anthony's company to install the replacement blower and get the heater working. Brian came out and installed the new blower. The blower now runs, but the heater still does not heat the water. Before leaving, Brian told us that the heater was working and suggested that there might be a blockage in the air-intake/exhaust system. He showed us the air-intake box and told us that when it was opened, the heater worked. We subsequently tested the heater extensively, including running it with the air-intake box open as instructed. We ran the system for approximately 30 hours, and there was no increase in the water temperature. The new blower runs, but the heater is clearly not heating the water. What disappointed me most was what happened afterward. I contacted Anthony repeatedly asking for help. I wasn't asking for anything unreasonable. I simply wanted Anthony or Brian to help us understand why the heater still wasn't working after the service call. I even offered to have them speak by phone while my regular pool technician was physically at the equipment so they could troubleshoot it together. Before the service was completed and paid for, Anthony was very responsive to my messages. Afterward, despite multiple attempts to contact him about the unresolved heater problem, I received no response. I had genuinely thought I had found a reliable company that I could use for future pool equipment repairs and possibly even our ongoing weekly pool maintenance. Unfortunately, the lack of follow-up after the service call completely changed my impression. The replacement blower is running, but the original reason we contacted them--the heater not working--remains unresolved, and I now have to hire another company to diagnose and repair it. I wish they had simply responded and helped us troubleshoot the unresolved problem.

He assured me that they can service my pool and do the startup. I stayed in touch with all of them through the plastering phase to keep them updated on when to come out. They assured me multiple times all was well and they would be ready to go. All the other pool companies I turned away after we agreed on price. On the day of startup, they came out and he spent a ton of time on the phone in the front of my house. No update from him, he left and I get a random text that my house is out of their service area. I told them that makes no sense as we have been in touch for a few weeks and I was assured all was good. They opted to not take my pool on and told me to contact someone else. They said they wouldn't charge me for the visit like they did me a solid..i just don't get it. All I asked was for transparency and not leave me in a position to call back the other pool companies and ask for a quote. I said, since you made a mistake and it's out of your service area, can you just finish the start up you promised me and I'll find another company to do the maintenance. They said no. After a pool is replastered, it's a crucial time to ensure everything is moving in the start up phase and they almost screwed me over. It's an expensive project to replaster and none of that was taken into account on their behalf. I'm very disappointed in how this company handled my service.

I didn't feel like there were hidden costs, but note there may be extra costs for you after they demo the pool, if you are also re-plastering. Caesar and Eddie were very responsive to email and text with any questions and concerns and made sure to come themselves to double check any issues. The team overall cleaned up after themselves and left the job site in good shape. The company is full service and brings the pool "full circle" and provides service to fill the pool, check filters, services the pump, etc after the pool is re-plastered. Work style: I imagine like many companies of this type there are teams of craftsmen that come through at different stages. I was able to get a clear schedule for the demo and the plaster phase, but the pool "startup" was a bit more variable (this mattered to me because we have dogs that have access to the yard, so if this applies to you I think you have to be very clear about hours of availability in advance). It seemed that a foreman would come and check in the team periodically. My only complaint through the whole process was that during the plaster day the crew installed a leaking hose that sprayed all over at the spigot at my stucco house and foundation for several hours, when I finally saw it, I had to draw attention to the crew to fix the situation. Due to how long the process with water takes, if it was not caught by myself it likely would have done some damage to the stucco wall. This was my only real issue over the entire job. Overall, communication was great, the finished product is beautiful, and pricing was fair and transparent. The pool came out looking fantastic.
