Nightmare experience!!! We hired Padres Pools in 2021 to redo our existing pool and add a hot tub. During construction, we dealt with multiple issues including a substantial pool leak, hot tub that's already settling, having to rebuild the spillover four times, needing a blower to our equipment because otherwise the jets on the tub would stop working, abysmal tile installation, the list goes on. We had to fight Padres for nearly a year to get reimbursed for the tile work so we could hire someone else to redo it. These issues are just the cherry on top of what was an overall very poor experience with Padres Pools. For an entire home renovation that took over a year to complete, Padres Pools was by far the biggest headache that we had to deal with. For anyone looking for a pool contractor, avoid Padres Pools at all costs!
Description of Work: We hired Padres Pools in 2021 to redo our existing pool and add a hot tub. The home we purchased was original from 1962 with a pool that had been installed in the 70's, and everything needed to be redone. We found Padres from their online recommendations and because they have been one of the longest family owned pool companies in San Diego, so we figured they would be a good option. Boy were we wrong! At one point, we were so concerned about the workmanship that we hired our own pool inspector to see if things were ok. It cost us $600 but was well worth it, as he found a long list of concerns and things we needed Padre to repair that were not done up to code. It took weeks of back and forth before Padre agreed to do the repairs, and some of them we had to take on ourselves after they refused.

They put in all new pool equipment, which was supposed to be very good from what people have told me, but when they put it in, it didn’t work. Lony from Padre Pools told me it wasn’t his problem and to call the warranty people. I called the warranty people and they fixed it, but I didn't like Lony's response. I had a lot of issues that they had to come in and redo over and over. They put the coping in wrong, then they put in the wrong colored grout and then they had to chip out all the grout and then they had to put all new grout in, it was a pain in the neck. He would not answer my phone. I would leave messages and he would never call me back. Then I would call the contractor, but he also had a hard time getting him, and he said he will also not be using them in the future.
Description of Work: I have used Padre Pools. They resurfaced the pool, installed new tile, and new coping. They also put in four jets around the outside of the pool that spray into the pool.
