Vanguard Swimming Pool Contractors

Called and never got a reply and don't want one. So please I don't need any threating calls from this guy.

Juan Arana from Vanguard personally oversaw the whole process, from the initial "dreaming" stage through detailed pricing, timeline, and construction. We always knew what to expect and when we hit the rare snag (100-year-old tree roots deep underground!) he always had a way past it. It's not too much to say that our lives at home have changed based on having not only a pool out back, but an entirely new space for relaxing and entertaining.

It was great! They explained the process and helped me understand what I need to do in the future!

By far my best experience yet with a home improvement project. I had a pool and spa installed by this company recently. Juan was very professional and work is high quality. From the day the job started, he and his workers were onsite everyday working, starting at the time he promised and working as efficiently as possible to get the job done on time, including weekends when needed. I've experienced contractors in the past that take advantage of their customers, send workers out with no supervision or don't show up at all, poor workmanship, etc. so I can truly appreciate Juan and his crew for taking such pride in their work and going above and beyond to ensure my project turned out exactly how I wanted. I highly recommend this company to anyone.

Work went very efficiently! Juan was outstanding, taking time to explain a couple of other questions I had. His answers let me know that this is the company I would use when pool refinishing and bottom pool drain needed replacement! Great guy!

Juan is fantastic. He actually found an earlier date than he promised, and finished the job quicker than he estimated. The pool looks and works great now. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for any kind of pool work.

Our experience with Juan and his crew was nothing short of amazing. They finished on time, on budget and the quality was top notch. I can’t recommend Juan enough. If you are looking for a pool contractor, he’s your guy.

Our hardscape, pavers and BBQ match the new pool coping and look fabulous. Juan and his crew did an amazing job. And in the end had to wheel barrow all the wet cement into our backyard because the mix truck didn't show in time! It looks so great and we are so very pleased. With the hardscape done we added rock and then plastered the pool. We passed all our inspections without any issues. And are closer to our final product. It is looking beautiful !! Thank you Juan.

We did our homework and got 3 bids for the work to our pool and backyard area. Vanguard Swimming Pool Contractors, Juan Arana gave us the best and most detailed bid. He has been here every day since the project began with his team - on time, long hours and leaves the job site clean prior each afternoon. Our location does not have easy access, but Juan has managed just fine with no complaints. They are on schedule and when we add (and we do tend to add additional work) Juan is fair about cost and offers great suggestions and options to make our vision a reality. Every day our project looks better and better and we are excited to see its progression. I cannot recommend Juan enough. (as a matter of fact 2 of our friends have already reached out to him) I just made him promise to finish our job first. I have attached a few photo's of Demolition to reduce the pool size and Forming. Vanguard Swimming Pools did a great job with the cement coping around our pool as well as our entire backyard! Everything matched and the many pavers were done by wheel burrow and hand. Act wash finished off the great look around pool, fountain, landscape and New BBQ enclosure. Bravo Juan and your crew. So pleased.

This review is long overdue. I have written a total of about 5 reviews in my entire life and this is one of them. We hired Juan at Vanguard to remodel our pool two years ago while we were also amid a home renovation. Out of all the contractors we dealt with in the process, Juan was hands down the best that we worked with. The work was great, the work was done on time, and the price was right. I can't recommend him and his company enough.

If they won't call back to get business that is really bad.

Excellent work. They were on time. The project manager came every day and pitched in helping as well

Work was excellent, prompt, and the price was fair and on target. Juan and his crew were very easy to work with. They cleaned up when they were done and made sure we knew how to reach them if we had any questions or concerns.

It didn't go as they never called back.

Juan provided an excellent service, taking care of all the normal maintenance a pool needs after 5 years of use. I would definately contact him again for future work.

Just wanted to share if anyone is ever in need of a Pool Contractor, this guy is absolutely AWESOME!!! Had the opportunity to work with him through a client of mine and was exceptional!! Very professional, timely, pleasant I would most definitely use him again and be sure to refer him as well.

I was purchasing a home with a pool and needed some last minute estimates on repairs before moving any further with the home. My Realtor contacted a bunch of people but Juan was the only one who responded. He showed up at our agreed time, which I appreciated and was very professional. Based on my research (via the internet) his quote to re-plaster the pool, fix the coping and lights and re-tile the entire pool was extremely fair. We mentioned during conversation that he was the only guy who responded. He said that sometimes other contractors dont like to come out to jobs where the person does not yet own the home. As it does not often result in business for them, but that having purchased a home himself he had been in our shoes before. Ultimately I pulled out of escrow on that home because of a large and VERY vicious dog next door that I felt was a danger to my family. However if my next yard can accommodate a pool I would absolutely use Juan. I feel that workmanship AND character are both equally important in a contractor and Juan has that in spades.

Juan and crew were here almost everyday to complete the job before we left town. He was friendly and professional. The fact that he as owner was hands on made a big difference because we changed and added as the job progressed. He always responded right away to a text and his suggestions worked out perfectly. He said he only takes on one or two jobs at a time so each customer gets personal service. His crew did excellent detailed tiling and brick work. His guys would help with unrelated matters when asked. We would highly recommend Juan for pool construction or repair. He is a general contractor so he also worked on the plumbing.

It went amazingly well. Juan and his team were quick and extremely professional. The work is emaculate. My pool looks brand new and it makes our backyard look fantastic The quartz inside the plaster makes the water a beautiful clear blue color. Its refreshing just to look at!. I would hire again in an instant. The price was very good and he was able to complete the job before summer started. Thank you Vanguard!

I couldn't be happier with the result! I originally got estimates from Juan and one other Angie-recommended provider. Not only was Juan's estimate less expensive but it was obvious from the start that he had much more expertise and integrity than the other firm. Juan and his team were responsive, hard-working professionals. I am delighted with their great work. Our pool was horrible and they made it beautiful and safe. .

I read reviews on Angie's list and that's why I called. Out of three other contractors Juan seemed excellent. He spent two hours at our house with lots of ideas. We really liked him and we were excited to get an estimate so we could proceed forward. It has been more than two weeks and we have heard nothing. Not a phone call or email. As much as we liked him knowing all the stories about pool contractors integrity is everything. I see he has been great for many but your only as good as your word.

These guys are very professional. They showed up on time and did ; what is a very messy job; neatly and very efficiently . After starting the job they informed me that the last company that replastered our pool had done a very sub-standard job (non-angles list). I held my breath waiting for them to tell me that the job would now cost more...Nope, didn't happen! I was pleasantly surprised to find they did not employ any of the tatics I've experienced with previous contractors, (i.e. upping the bid in the middle of a job). These guys did what they said they would do, for the price they quoted in a very timely, professional way. We are very happy with the completed work.

We needed to repair the pool/deck remodel that we had done in 2009. We received bids from numerous contractors over the course of the past couple of years. After meeting with Juan from Vanguard , we were finally ready to trust a contractor to carefully dismantle and repair the damaged areas of our deck/pool. Juan's experienced crew did a skillful, careful, thorough, and artful job on all of the areas of our property that they worked on. I would not hesitate to contract with Vanguard again or recommend Vanguard to anyone.

I just want to say Juan and his team where very professional and very nice to work with and did a beautiful job of building our pool. I will be using Vanguard pools for my mother?s pool in updating the tile and plastering.

We hired Juan/Vanguard Pools team to install a pool and spa. We interviewed a few companies and decided tohire Juan to build our pool for his honesty, he is easy and nice to work with and very professional and has a professional crew. The project took about almost 5 months, but most was due to the building and safety department. The quality is exceptional! I will be using Juan for my mother?s pool which needs refinishing, tile and plaster. We are so excited for the swimmer to be able to swim in our new pool!
