I cannot say enough good things about Evin from Good Living Pools. We've had two unexpected rodent…read moreissues with our pool equipment this year, and both times Evin came through for us. Even with a busy schedule, he made us a priority -- came out quickly, diagnosed the problems, replaced the damaged parts, and had our system running perfectly. Evin is honest, professional, and never overcharges. His work is consistently high-quality, and you can tell he truly takes pride in what he does. We'll continue using him for all repairs, maintenance, and future upgrades. Highly recommend! Thank you Evin!

We had a pool leak and reached out to Evin from Good Living Pools. From the very first phone call,…read moreEvin was professional, informative, and genuinely helpful. After talking through the situation, I decided to have him come out to assess the issue in person. Evin quickly identified that the water loss might be coming from small, hard-to-see cracks in the spa tile. He suggested shutting off the spillway to let the wall dry completely. After monitoring the water levels for a week, his diagnosis was spot on. The leak stopped entirely. He also noticed our pool vacuum was hooked up through the skimmer and explained why that setup wasn't ideal. He pointed out an alternative outlet and even caught a rubber stopper that could've caused serious plumbing damage. He removed it on the spot, not an easy task, but he got it done. Once we confirmed the leak source, we moved forward with replacing the spa tile. Evin mailed us tile samples to choose from and also facilitated an appointment at the warehouse so we could see more options. During the work, Evin found damage behind the tiles, so we decided to repair the top four inches, remove the brick trim, and finish the top in matching tile. It looks fantastic, we love how the spillway looks now when it's running. Evin also upgraded our system overall: he installed a chlorinator (goodbye floating dispenser!), put the pumps on a smart schedule so the pool circulates evenly, automated our line fill, and updated our existing automation system to tie everything together. He took the time to walk me through how it all works, and everything runs beautifully now. We couldn't be happier with the results and the experience. Evin is knowledgeable, honest, and goes above and beyond. We highly recommend Good Living Pools not only for repairs and upgrades, but also if you're buying a home with a pool, reaching out and having Evin inspect it will give you peace of mind.

I knew Nick was different right off the bat. Of all the people I reached out to, he was the only…read moreone that tried to help first, instead of just throwing a Service Fee at me. He did his best to troubleshoot over the phone, but once I hit a road block, I just asked him to come out to fix it. He was prompt with scheduling, and got me in the same week. He even offered to come out sooner but I couldn't because of work. I was having issues with an error code the hot tub was giving, and Nick was able to pinpoint it to one of two errors while troubleshooting. He tried the cheaper fix before going into the big fix and luckily for me, it worked! I was very pleased with his prompt service, professionalism, and extensive knowledge and experience in his field. The cost was still low due to his diligence, and now I have my Jacuzzi back!

Well we went on vacation and left instructions with my father in law to add chemicals while we were gone. Unfortunately he completely forgot about it for 2 weeks in the middle of summer, and we came back to a swamp! I called around, and we received a couple of different quotes from guys that could barely put together a sentence and honestly didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. Thank god I discovered Yelp and found Matt! Several of the pool guys we called had suggested draining our pool and acid washing it. Matt pointed out that not only would that not work with our pool,(It is a fiberglass pool) but that it was going to end up costing almost double what it would cost to do it with their process! I can't thank the guys at Affordable enough. They warned us that it might take a couple weeks to straighten out our pool that was a swamp, and I don't know how they did it, but it cleaned up to perfect in less than 3 days. If you are looking for an honest, experienced, and trustworthy pool service, you've found your guys. Matt shows up every week and does a fantastic job on our pool, and it's been such a relief not having to have my husband worry about the pool.

My pool has never looked better.

If you're in the Orangecrest / Riverside area and need someone you can trust, Jimmy is your guy. Highly recommend!

I hired Continental Precision Pools after my pool pump failed and I needed help getting everything…read moreback up and running, including draining and cleaning the pool. Craig was professional, extremely knowledgeable, and upfront from the beginning. He initially quoted a very fair price for a like-for-like pump replacement -- much lower than the $12K quote I got elsewhere. I ended up upgrading to a 1.5 HP pump, which raised the cost a bit, but the installation was done well and everything worked great. Craig and his team did a solid job draining and cleaning the pool, and I appreciated the bundled pricing offer to keep costs manageable. Where things fell a bit short was in communication. The monthly pool cleaning service was quoted at $170, which felt a bit high, and when I asked about flexibility, communication started to taper off. I also didn't receive a walkthrough on how to use the new pump -- just the manual. Overall, Craig really knows pools and gets the job done efficiently. If the communication and follow-through had been a little stronger, this would've easily been a 5-star experience.

I am glad I went with DPC because after I received a knowledgeable consultation and estimate with Miguel, the owner, I felt confident that I chose the right contractor. Everything that was discussed was delivered just as promised and initially he responded to my inquiry almost immediately, the only real effort on our part was to choose the tile we wanted at the contractor pool supply warehouse locally / Riverside...there was a vast selection to choose from. Miguel said the job would be completed in one week and it was completed in 5 days. My pool looks beautiful! I strongly recommend DPC for their professionalism and great communication during the whole process. Steve G.

A new heater would cost a few thousand dollars and most repairman say that the parts have been discontinued for this old heater. I was contacted by Joel and he assured me that he can use his resources to find the parts needed to fixed my old unit and have it done at the fraction of the price of a new heater. Joel has great communication with me, I think the longest I've waited for a tax return was only 15 minutes and that's because he was in a conference. Super nice guy! I highly recommend this company.

He offered to test my water and clean my filter on the spot even before I hired him. I immediately loved James' attention to detail and his care for doing a great job and delivering a sparkling pool. He cleaned my filter and tested my pool and went on with the rest of his busy schedule. The next day, I was given a reasonable estimate for ridding my black mold and for servicing my three pools. We hired James. It's been three months now and we are impressed and over satisfied with how James delivered. James spent a week working tirelessly to rid the black mold without having to drain our pool. We had a relapse after a few weeks and James went back at no additional cost and got it back under control. As far as our pool maintenance; each week we get an email from James with the results of the water testing, what chemicals he put in the pools to keep them at the right level, and a picture of our sparkling pools.

The BEST Pool Guy in La Cresta Honest, Reliable, and Just…read moreAmazing We live in La Cresta, and after getting quotes from five different people, our pool guy was the only one who was honest, reasonable, and didn't try to give us inflated "La Cresta" rates just because of our location. The others either overcharged or didn't seem to know what they were doing, he stood out immediately for his professionalism and integrity. Even though we're a bit out of the way and our pool requires more attention than most, he never complained and has consistently gone above and beyond. Our pool has never looked better. Its crystal clear, perfectly balanced, and always ready for use. Brandon shows up when he says he will, communicates clearly, and takes real pride in his work. You can tell he actually cares, and that makes all the difference. If you're in the area and tired of dealing with overpriced, unreliable companies, give him a call. You won't regret it.
