We recently had our pool completely renovated with a new vinyl floor and couldn't be happier with the results. The pool was in rough shape before the project started, but the transformation is incredible. Andrew did an outstanding job from start to finish. He is very professional, communicative, and very detail-oriented throughout the entire process. The preparation work was thorough, the installation was done carefully, and the finished vinyl floor looks smooth, clean, and perfectly fitted. What really stood out was their craftsmanship and willingness to go the extra mile. In addition to the pool renovation, Andrew also helped hook me up with the installation of a new water filter tank for the system, which made a big difference in the overall setup and water quality. It was great having someone who could handle multiple parts of the project and make sure everything was working properly together. If you're looking for someone to renovate or install a vinyl pool floor, I highly recommend them. Great work, fair pricing, and a beautiful final result. read more

There aren't enough stars or rating numbers to express how fantastic ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair is!! This week I had my vinyl pool insert replaced. Andrew (owner) was quick to respond to my request. He explained every step ahead and placed order right away for replacement vinyl. Andrew kept me updated on order and as soon as ready Andrew set up time for installation. Hector completed installation and did a thorough job! Right on time-hard worker. Throughout the installation this week I had many questions (I tend to be a worry wart so I think I asked some crazy questions). Andrew kindly answered every text and returned every phone call. He was very patient and always gave his complete attention to me. He even took the time to speak with the fellow who services my pool-to recap proper care and maintenance of a vinyl in ground pool. It was a great refresher. ABCO is a company that once you have an experience with them-it is a business relationship to keep. For years I have been a customer and will continue to be. Great pricing-each step of the way is a pleasure working with Andrew and Hector. read more

Wonderful experience with Andrew and team from start to finish. Extremely communicative and responsive, answered all of our random questions 24/7. Exceptionally knowledgeable about the nuances of vinyl pools and makes all of that accessible and understandable to a regular person in his pool school. Everything happened exactly as they forecasted and exactly on time- any potential changes were communicated thoroughly and timely. Truly cannot recommend ABCO enough! read more

Andrew and crew were amazing. Can't say enough good things about them. Fair pricing, excellent work, on time. Thank you ABCO!

Andrew and his team just replaced my vinyl liner. I had a lot of leaks with my previous one because I was not given proper instructions of how to care for it. Andrew took the time to really explain how to maintain the liner to extend the life of it. He was very thorough, his team did a great job, and I would definitely recommend ABCO. read more

Did not check the pipes for a leak citing that they did not perform that work. Then recommended a liner replacement when the pool was holding water fine. Cited that he repaired the pool liner himself when the pool was being repaired regularly by the pool owner used vinyl patches and sealant - a 20 minute operation per patch at most. Cited that he used an acoustic method of leak detection when he was wearing headphones and leak detection typically requires a pressurized pipe to identify any noise from a leak. Cited rot in the wood without identifying rot. Recommended the installation of plywood for structural reasons which does not make sense as the pool is not deep enough to require that and the positive pressure of the water eliminates that need as well. Also - rotten wood is not structural so if the wood rots and the pool is emptied later that is an even worse condition than using fibrous board. Fibrous board / composite board is also so strong it is used in addition to other materials as a method of shielding from explosives on the street. Cited that a review with a photo was not correct and that he would sue for slander. Cited that flushing the water into the sewer was a requirement of the city and that flushing to the drain would result in a code violation when no such code exists in this state but DOES exist in other states. Any vinyl installer who recommends wood instead of fibrous material or sheetmetal or a non rotting product does not care about pool installation. Went on to say the water is flushed to the sewer for recycle - yes, a portion is. A 25k to 30k gallon pool can be built from stainless sheetmetal for approximately $16k plus $4k for a rubber coating. A patch can be made with a silicon sealant and round vinyl cutout. Vinyl liners are the exact same material as roofing material, those contractors could do this work for you instead, the seams use a hot air heat sealant. Mouthed "im gonna fuck you up" during the conversation in front of my father. read more

Ive used ABCO to replace my in ground pool liner for the 30+ years that Ive owned my house. Started with Nick, and now it's Andrew, and not a bit of difference in the quality and the price is always very fair. Andrew also turned me in to PoolRX chemicals that almost eliminates chlorine use and hasn't had an algae issue since I started using it. I wouldn't think of letting anyone else work on my pool read more

From day one Andrew and his team have been terrific! Respectful, attentive, patient and real 5 star service. This is a family company and they do things with heart. We appreciated the work, excellent communication and impeccable follow through. Rare to see this detail and care these days! Thank you Andrew and team.

As a follow up to my previous review, I'd like to add that Andrew and the Abco Pool personnel are absolutely the REAL DEAL. All of my dealings from the initial selection of the design thru the installation and a final maintenance "class" have been nothing but SUPERB. The pool was actually completed 2 weeks ahead of schedule with absolutely NO problems. Without any hesitation, I wholeheartedly recommend ABCO VINYL POOL REPAIR, as the BEST option for your pool needs. It's a rarity to find a business of this quality; do yourself a favor and end your pool problems and concerns and contact Andrew, you'll be thankful you did. read more

Had an amazing experience with Nick and Andrew from Abco Vinyl Pool Repair. They did a complete Vinyl replacement on our pool and recommended/coordinated with our frame builder to provide a complete package in rapid order in time for our summertime pool experience. So grateful for their expertise, their patience, and super communication throughout everything. I felt like I was in excellent hands the whole time. The post installation training was also very much appreciated. 5 stars all the way around, highly recommend these guys. read more

We had to rebuild our current pool and get a new liner. Andrew with ABCO was amazing, very responsive, professional and my pool looks amazing. We are so happy. His staff did a beautiful job with our pool. I could not be happier with our pool. I highly recommend this company. read more

Nick is amazing! Nick and his team are so kind and get to work quickly and do an amazing job! I initially reached out for a repair but I decided to get a whole new liner. There were so many options and when it was time for installation, I was shocked at how quickly the job was done. My pool is BEAUTIFUL! read more

ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair - Liner in and started filling with water in only 3 hours! - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Santee, California

ABCO - did an amazing job on my pool, from the beginning all the way through the end I cannot ask for anything better....

ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair did an excellent job when they replaced my pool liner. The owner (Nick) and his son (Andrew) came and gave me a fair and reasonable estimate, explaining everything. Andrew has been repairing my old liner for a few years now and it was finally time to replace it. Once the liner came in, they had it installed within the week. It looks fantastic. They gave me lots of written and oral info on how to maintain the liner so it will last for years. This was my 3rd liner in 15 years, and none of the others explained what I needed to do to keep it looking new and not fading or getting brittle. One company even sold me a system for chlorine tablets that I later found out should never be used in a vinyl pool. I would recommend ABCO to anyone who has a vinyl pool. read more

Nick and the entire ABCO team were a pleasure to work with. Showed up on time, committed to cost and schedule, and got the job done right without headaches and worry. The pool turned out amazing. Thanks Nick! read more

Our vinyl pool is 18 years old and we first met Andrew 2years ago when he came out to repair a couple of leaks. We found him very knowledgeable and knew that when we needed to replace the liner we would want him to do it. This summer we had a slow leak and asked him to replace the liner. We had some problems with our son Scott who posted a review that was not true. Scott wanted to "paint" the liner even though he has no experience with pools. Andrew was amazing and went ahead with the job in spite of the stress and did an amazing job. He is trustworthy and has the highest standards when it comes to pool care. We would give him 10 stars if we could, he is that great! read more

My pool started losing water quickly, so I looked at reviews and gave a call on Monday. Andrew called back and explained the process and said he could be out Wednesday. He arrived on time, was very efficient and courteous. He patched my pool in 3 places, the cost was exactly what he quoted, and he was done quickly. He gave me advice on what to do in the future, and how I could save money as well. Efficient, professional, quick, and reliable. What else could I ask for? Thanks Andrew! Now to go fill my pool with clear liquid gold read more

We highly recommend Nick and ABCO! We purchased a home last fall with a vinyl pool. According to Nick, the original construction of the pool itself was thankfully a "Cadillac" but the liner was at the end of it's useful life. The old liner was not installed properly, it had folds in so many areas that had trapped algae. It had two longitudinal tears near the skimmers and it was leaking an inch worth of water nightly which made it impossible to keep the chemical levels stable. We had one other estimate from a local repair company and costs weren't too much different, but the demeanor and overall perception of confidence between the other guy and Nick was night and day. Nick was VERY detailed in every aspect, he measured my pool for at least an hour. Everything he estimated was on point, the job was done quickly, on time and on budget. He expertly added 3 steps and a handrail. The new liner fits like a glove - not a single fold anywhere! He and his installer Hector have worked together for over 20 years and after speaking with them, it's easy to see that they have great respect for one another. Nick gave us detailed information or as he calls it "pool school" on how to best chemically care for a vinyl liner. A couple days ago, my husband asked Nick the drop by to take a look at a perceived issue with the liner and he was here today "Johnny on the spot" to put our minds at ease. Everything is great, and I fully expect things to stay that way with his expertise and support along the way. Highly recommend ABCO. read more

Just had our third liner put in our pool last week by Nick (we've had the house a long time!) Nick is always a joy to work with. He's honest, his worker is amazingly efficient and his price is very fair. He is a wealth of information and really wants his customers to get the most years they can use for a liner. I highly recommend Abco for your vinyl pool liner. read more

These guys did a great job on our new liner! Very knowledgeable and down to earth. Spent a lot of time teaching us how to better care for our pool and were very reasonably priced. After their estimate, they found extra things that needed fixing and just ate the cost rather than change their estimate! There aren't very many folks who work with vinyl it seems it can take a while for them to be free to come out. They are worth the wait. read more

Amazing job well done and the guy came right away to fix and it didn't waste a minute to finish it and he was super friendly

Nick and Andrew are so responsive and knowledgeable. We had them do a couple patch jobs to get us through last year and went with a new liner this year. A+++ experience. read more

Thank you ABCO! Nick was so professional, knowledgeable and helpful. Our liner had ripped at the end of last season and stood empty for 7 months. After the winter rain, it was in really bad shape. After some unprofessional estimates, it was refreshing to meet Nick. He came prepared and offered us a written estimate and walked us through everything we needed to know. It was a true blessing to meet someone so helpful. We are so grateful ABCO came to our rescue. When our old liner came out, things looked worse than expected and Nick was really great helping us out. The new liner is absolutely perfect, and thanks to Nick, we know exactly how to take care of it to make it last. He answered all our questions and put us through pool school. We gladly recommend ABCO Vinyl pool repair. We trust Nick, and he stands by his work. I know we are in good hands and will definitely use him for any future work (just hopefully not too soon ;) lol ) Now we are set for the summer read more

ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair - Our beautiful new sandstone pool liner. The sandstone vinyl gives it a nice Bahama blue lagoon look. We love it! Thank you ABCO - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Santee, California

I recently had my new liner installed by "the other guy" in order to save $500, and boy was that a mistake. The "3 day" job took 7 weeks and resulted in a damaged liner. During my ABCO estimate walkthrough, Nick told me to read the reviews; all I read were dollar signs. I learned the hard way, and I can tell you, Nick is really the only guy in SD you can trust. No question, Nick and his son are my liner team moving forward. They're men of principle and professionalism at every turn. Thanks again, Nick! read more

Nick it is a legitimate post. You don't remember me? That sounds about right. You put an ABCO sticker on my pool pump switch box, I ordered a new vinyl for my pool through you, you went through Tri-City (I believe that was the name). You and a worker installed it. I had nothing but problems - minor tears which you blamed on small animals (I called you multiple times) - minor tears near the bottom of the deep end. The pool liner you measured and ordered was too small. I did not know that when the failure occurred but later I had another pool guy come out and he took some measurements of the vinyl and determined it was too small for my pool. I live in the 92119 area. read more

I just called this company this morning and left a message. About an hour later I received a call from Andrew. I explained I had a corner of the vinyl pool come off the track and had some unusual color fading on the top step. He asked for a photo, which I sent and he immediately explained how it could be repaired quickly and he could stop by in a few minutes since he was in the area. A few minutes later he let me know it was repaired and took the time to explain that the chlorine tablets being used were causing the fading. He then waived the service fee, wow, what a guy and what a level of service, very impressive! I know who I'll be calling for all my future needs. I also know who I won't be calling, that's Valley Center pools who did my installation In 2018. They made every excuse in the book as to why they couldn't come out and it took a week just to get a call back! Thank you Andrew! read more

SERVICE ABOVE AND BEYOND. Nick is personable and one of the few remaining people that is an expert on vinyl pools. He made multiple visits to my house and walked me through the entire process of replacing my liner in and easy and simple to understand terms. Nick had a lot of options to choose from and reliable resources for other things I needed done to my pool. He was always available for any questions that I had, and responded promptly. read more

Nick at ABCO has done my pool twice. The first time in 2000 and again this week. He and his team went beyond what was required and made sure my pool was structurally sound and looked amazing. I can't make a better or stronger recommendation if you have any needs for a vinyl pool. There is no better. read more

Rarely does one run into a contractor as good as ABCO. Nick Penna is the authority on vinyl lined pools in Southern California. I was faced with a pool that was rotting and caving in on itself. Nick and his team came in and gave me a pool that completely exceeded my expectations. The cost was reasonable, the workmanship impeccable, and the customer experience was awesome. Nick is exactly who he says he is. If you hire him he brings decades of knowledge and experience to the table and leverages that knowledge to deliver the STATE OF THE ART vinyl pool available. On top of it all, Nick took the time at the end of the contract to completely educate me on the "care and feeding" of this type of pool, in essence, setting the stage so that I could have a successful and fun pool experience for years to come. read more

I highly recommend Abco Vinyl Pool repair. This is our 3rd pool liner that we have had installed with Abco. We have lived in our house for 35 years and each time Nick has ordered and installed our liner it has been beautiful and has lasted for years and years! Our last liner lasted way beyond the warranty period. Nick is very professional and easy to work with. Once the liner was measured and ordered the install was so fast. He is also very helpful with tips to keeping your pool looking great. If you are looking for a vinyl pool replacement or as a new pool option, I recommend this company. They have been in business for a very long time and are very reliable. read more

There aren't too many businesses out there for vinyl pool repair so I was concerned we would be charged an astronomical amount since there really is no competition. However, he didn't! He was actually less than expected. Not only that, be he educated us on the proper care and feeding of our new liner, something the previous company did not do, hence the new liner! They cleaned up their mess when they were done and they didn't take down the fence to get to the pool (like the previous company did). They didn't upset the yard at all. This is the company you will want to use hands down!! read more

I just had Nick 's company rebuild my frame and install a new liner. I have a big pool (20 x 40 with 8 foot deep end) and he came thru just as he promised. He comes out when he says, he follows up on the job and finished the job almost 2 weeks early. I looks great and even taught me how to take care of the liner to make it last longer. It was a big job and my wife and I could not be happier. only 5 stars? I'd give ABCO 10 !! very refreshing to have a contractor actually come thru as promised... Tom A. read more

If you need your vinyl pool liner replaced don't use anyone but Abco. Nick Penna does it right! We could not be more pleased. Our new liner fits like a glove. We have used other vinyl pool installers in the past and have found our experiences with them very disappointing, bad fit, etc... Nick is very knowledgeable and makes sure that you know how to take care of your new liner to get the longest life out of it. We would not recommend anyone but Abco. Our pool is beautiful!! read more

I had my vinyl pool built 23 years ago. In that time I have learned a great deal about the construction and maintenance of them. The original builders retired and sold the business. After calling that person and even meeting with him, he must have fallen off the face of the planet. He never returned any of my follow up calls or emails. Frankly after experiencing the craftsmanship of Nick's work I am glad the other person didn't call back. I am a perfectionist, but after having the opportunity to watch their work this was a job that I would have done. Nick did what he said and when he said. If you have any vinyl pool repairs or needs I would highly recommend you call Nick at Abco! read more

We were so lucky to find Nick and this company after our beloved Waterworld closed down!! Nick has been such a help to us --always honest always recommending the best products!! He will drive up from South San Diego to Oceanside just to give an opinion on a discoloration in the liner and will not charge for a house visit! Not only is he an honest great businessman but he's a wonderful magician too:-) read more

Nick is wonderful! He came out to give me an estimate on replacing my vinyl pool and instead of telling me I had no choice but to replace it, he recommended his son's business, Patch Masters, to just patch my vinyl until I absolutely needed to replace it. He volunteered some extra services to help another person in prepping the pool frame before he would replace the vinyl. Nick is a friendly, honest, intelligent businessman and I highly recommend his business AND his son's business! read more

If I could give this company more stars, I would. Working with Nick is an absolute pleasure. He has now come out to our house to repair our pool 3 times over the past 6 years. The last time he came out, he went above and beyond what anyone else would have done to save our vinyl liner and buy us some time before we have to replace it. He's professional, knowledgeable and quite possibly the nicest guy you will ever meet. If you have a vinyl pool, don't bother calling anyone else. Nick at ABCO is the best! read more

This is a note. Professional service, knowledgable, fair price. Nick was great to work with. Definitely recommend ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair Professional service, knowledgable, fair price. Nick was great to work with. Definitely recommend ABCO Vinyl Pool Repair read more

Nick and Hector recently completed the installation of my third replacement liner for my vinyl-lined lap pool. They also installed the two previous liners over the last 15 years. I have been more than happy with each installation. I am very impressed with the knowledge, experience and business ethic exhibited by ABCO in the proposal, construction and follow-up phases of the replacement process. When replacing the original liner (about 15 years ago), ABCO made some repairs and upgrades to the original construction of the lap pool that were needed due to poor construction and cheep materials used in the original pool design. The repairs are still working well. I am sure that I would be reconstructing the entire pool (or filling it back in) if the repairs and use of better materials had not been recommended and completed. Even though the installation went very smoothly this time, there was a problem with the factory fabricated liner. Rather than making do with the problem liner that could have been made to work while shortening it's life, Nick demanded that a new liner be fabricated. The new liner was fabricated in record time and installed correctly. Nick actually tried to apologize for the extra time and effort that it took to do the job right, even though he and Hector tried to hang the bad liner twice and finally had to hang the correctly made one. It is nice to have someone that has both the relationship with the fabricator to expeditiously fix the liner issue and go to the extra effort to get it done right. Lots of good advise and little extras are included in addition to the reasonable price. I hope ABCO is still around when this liner needs replacement read more

Outstanding price, quality and professionalism. Nick and his crew came to replace the vinyl liner in my 25 year old pool. The were great at recommending the best option for my old pool, never trying to oversell me on unnecessary repairs or extra charges. They were very flexible with their pricing and met all their time and quality commitments. The craftsmanship and quality of work is excellent. Nick goes the extra mile giving me a pool school CD in order to help me maintain my liner's color and quality for a long time. I highly recommend ABCCO pools. read more
