We did a complete remodel of our pool and decking last year, this was a long awaited Dream of ours which came to fruition commencing January of 2022. We thought we We’re going with an outstanding pool remodel company, but our dream turned into a nightmare which is still going on in 2023. I read another review, which is very similar to what we are experiencing, so I am compelled to write my own to warn other prospective clients of a very disturbing pattern. First of all I will say that the craftsmanship on our pool design is beyond what we hoped this is all because of the outstanding craftsmanship of Maestro and his son who did all the tile work and the flagstone coping and stair work. Where our issues lie, the jacuzzi which was added to our pool has two water descents, which one of them is almost non existent just a small trickle of water, tried over and over again with Tony our project manager and owner of company have been sending texts since Last November which none have been answered. The other owner Andrew also knows of this issue he was at our home toward the end if our year long remodel, he pointed it out himself so he is aware but nothing has been done, we have also talked And texted with Rob who keeps saying it will be addressed, Andrew said ASAP but weeks later nothing. We had spent over 100k dollars on this pool remodel, it seems once they are done they don’t care anymore. They have their money and they don’t care about their customer satisfaction We wish we had never gone with them. Now we have to pay MORE money to have the jacuzzi water descent fixed by another company. We will also be addressing this with the Better Business Bureau.

Response from California Poolman, Inc.
Dear [REMOVED MEMBER NAME], I can appreciate your being upset and we feel the same way. I have gone through all my appointments, logs, messages etc., and please accept my apologies if something has been missed, but through all my records I could not find your name or address here in our office. Was it a person in the field you spoke with or how you heard of us may help me to see what could have happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again. This is not the type of review that we expect to see, but…no review is a bad review because only good things can come from it, and we want to make our clients happy. We are a provider of custom work, which means, working one on one with our clients is our only option. What we offer is not mass produced; you can’t buy it at your local market, or have your neighbor pick one up for you. Our leads are our bloodline, therefor, each and every one is very important. I definitely would like to speak with you and, YES, we absolutely would like to help you in any way we can. I have no number to contact you with. Please give us a call so we can make this right. We appreciate your time, and look forward to hearing from you soon.

Response from California Poolman, Inc.
Dear [removed members name], Thank you for taking the time to give California Poolman a review. Our sincerest apology for the appointment time being changed, we take our appointments very seriously. We know your time is just as important as ours. As for the amount, $80.00 is our normal fee for a service call. Unfortunately we are not always able to quote a complete amount for repairs without seeing what actually needs to be done. In the case of your pool, the work that was needed to complete the job correctly was more than the fee of only a service call. It sounds as though our Field Superintendent, who does work here for our company, was able to help you out to get you going, and I was glad to hear that he was courteous. We hope that maybe in the future you will give us another opportunity to satisfy you.

Description of Work: California Poolman re-plastered my pool and installed new filtering equipment. They did a fantastic job. They were able to save my coping and tile which saved me a fair amount of money, and the pool is absolutely beautiful. And the color LED light Tony recommended was well worth it. It makes the pool the centerpiece of my backyard. | |Even our pool cleaning service commented on the wonderful re-plastering work. Honest, affordable and great workmanship. I wish all my contractor experiences were like this. It's unfortunate that this type of service is somewhat rare. | |Tony is friendly, knowledgeable and honest. His crew does great work. What else can you ask for?

One of the first jobs ever that there were no problems. Tony (the owner) was either working at the job site or overseeing daily. He checked several times during the day if he was not working at the site. The workers were very respectful to us and respectful to one another. This is an excellent company to hire to redo your pool.
Description of Work: Removed old plaster and replastered pool, added trim tile, new light and saw cut and replaced concrete.
