We had a very old pool that needed resurfacing and re-tiling. There was also coping that needed to be repaired and concrete work that also needed to be done. Pool effects came and bid on the project in a timely manner, they were excellent and their prices were fair. They came to do the work when they said they would, were extremely professional and dependable. They also had to deal with our difficult tenant and were kind and patient. We would recommend Pool Effects any time . We are extremely pleased with the finished product, they did a beautiful job.

Eddie and his Pool Effects team are in my opinion, best in class for delivering a premium pool remodel outcome. From the moment he came out for the quote, we instinctively knew we were in trusted good hands. Eddie always communicated in a timely manner, made promises and delivered. His teams are experts at every phase: demo, coping, electrical, plumbing, repairs, concrete for deck, tile, pebble install and start up. Excellence is what they deliver at every stage of the process. Eddie is a perfectionist like me so I get his dedication at every turn. He is hands on, it is his team not contractors he has to depend on. There were no delays in the project. His pricing was very competitive and exceeded our expectations on the deliverables. On top of all that he is a nice person who is very caring and kind of fun to talk to. My wife and I are referring him to everyone we know who has seen the finished product because he delivers and we are delighted.

Eddie was great to work with. He came out and provided an informal quote then followed up with an official one at the end of the day as promised. His rates are very competitive. He was always prompt to answer my many calls and texts. His team showed up and ready to work at their scheduled times. They did a great job with the pool repairs and replaster and cleaned up after themselves each day. I'm really happy to have found this company and will definitely use them for future repairs or upgrades and also refer them to friends and family. Thank you Pool Effects!

We could not be more satisfied with the job Eddie and his crews did or with the look of our pool now, with its new tile, new mini pebble finish and the coping repairs. They also installed an auto-fill device, new filter and new pipes with clear labeling. The crews worked hard each day and did their best to minimize the impact on us; in fact, they were as detailed in their daily cleanup of the work site as they were in the tasks of that dayâ s job. Eddie helped us make some decisions and provided a detailed and itemized proposal and contract. At each step, he let us know what to expect and when his crews would work on particular daysâ he has excellent communication skills. His depth of knowledge and broad experience showed each time he replied to our questions, and when he came to check on each phase, he was meticulous about each detail meeting his standards. We would definitely rely on him again, and can recommend Pool Effects without any hesitation.

The owner was super responsive and communicative. The estimate was accurate with no surprises even though my pool was 30 years old and needed lots of attention. His team is great with amazing attention to detail. I've recommended him to tons of people.

My husband and I hired Pool Effects to re-tile and re-plaster our pool. We are more than pleased how it turned out. Eddie, the owner, is very personable, and very knowledgeable. First, I would like to say Eddie was very patient with all my indecisiveness regarding my choices of tile and plaster types:) He was so consistent in responding to my texts quickly.. Keeping us informed of schedules was so appreciated, with his crews always arriving on time, leaving our pool area clean and neat at the end of the day. The tile was installed beautifully and the pebble tec plaster looks amazing. As you can tell, we are more than pleased with our beautiful pool.

This is my first experience with Eddie (owner) and his company. Eddie is down-to-earth and easy to work with. I told him what was going on and our timeline constraints. Eddie moved us up in his scheduling. Eddie and his crew were on time and completed the project a couple of days ahead of our timeline. I would diffidently use Eddie and his company again. He does what he says he will be doing and there are no excuses or delays. First-class company to work with!

My pool had a big leak, the fiberglass lining was peeling away and the electrical wiring was damaged. Eddie solved all my problems, and at a very reasonable price. Now I once again have a pool I am proud to share with my friends and relatives. His professionalism and that of his crew was very apparent and much appreciated, and I couldn't recommend Pool Effects, Inc. more highly. Tony W.

Eddie replastered our 31 year-old pool and spa. We replaced the tiles too. Eddie was on top of things during the entire process. His crew from demo to concrete and tile to replaster are top-notch. The whole team is organized. It was very easy to speak to Eddie. He was just a phone call or text away when we had questions. We did not contact other contractors after we read all the 5-star reviews. His 5 star reviews are well deserved. I highly recommend Pool Effects, Inc.

I strongly recommend Pool Effects, they did a complete remodel of my 70's vintage pool, deck and equipment. From the bidding process through the concrete pour and pool remodel, Eddie was honest, kept me advised and stayed on schedule all through the project. We did need to make some adjustments due to Covid related shortages but Eddie and his brother made those changes relatively painless and we lost no time.

Choosing Pool Effects Inc. to remodel our pool was one of the best decisions weâ ve made since purchasing our home. Our pool was in sad shape; tiles were falling off the spa, and the plaster was peeling. We had received estimates from three other highly rated businesses before contacting PEI. From our first meeting we were struck by the manner in which J. Eduardo Plascencia informed us of the choices available to us. All options were clearly and concisely explained in a patient and unpressurized manner. Once work began, each talented crew arrived on time and was thoroughly professional. At every step, we were kept informed of what was completed and what was to come by Mr. Plascencia. Today, as we look at our beautiful new pool, we couldnâ t be more excited. Let the fun begin! Thank you, Pool Effects Inc. for all youâ ve done for our family.

My husband and I were extremely pleased with the results of the pool resurface project completed by Pool Effects. We were extremely impressed the pool project started and finished within the timeline quoted. Eddie was punctual, dependable, and an expert in his field. The team of workers who completed the job were, on time, incredibly neat, and respectful of our property. I would definitely recommend hiring Pool Effects to our friends and family. We absolutely LOVE the transformation of our pool with the pebble tech resurface. Thank you Pool Effects!
