    We had three quotes and decided on Alderete Pools not because their quote was the best, almost, but because Ray was diligent, direct and honest. We had decided on Alderete Pools but thought we could get a few more months out of our current system (see pictures). Fate had other ideas and with a broken/worn filter clamp that was no longer being made we were forced to move faster than we had planned. Ray, his son and staff were quick to get everything done in one day so we didn't have to wait and watch our pool turn green. They answered all my questions, we very patient at showing us everything we needed to know and even gave me a great resource for a pool guy in our area who knew our new system well. We cannot say enough about how easy it was to work with Alderete Pools, when we are ready to remodel our pool they will be our only call.

    What can I say, Ray and his team were awesome in every way. We hired Alderete Pools after getting multiple quotes on a pool install/ backyard redo last year. Here are just some of the reasons of why I would recommend Alderete Pools to anyone. 1. Ray was the only contractor that worked with our very tight budget. Most quotes were over by roughly 20k but not Ray. We originally didn't think we could afford him but he made it work without cutting corners. Ray is easy going and really just a very friendly and approachable guy. That made the planning and designing phase a breeze. 2. Ray showed up every morning to go over the work being done and inspect the previous days work. He was never late, he never missed a day and neither did his team. 3. Ray was very responsive to emails and phone calls. He either answered immediately or responded within an hour max. In most cases he would respond in a few minutes. I've never worked with a contractor like that before. Just this morning I emailed Ray with questions about a fire pit install. I didn't hire Ray for the job (should have) and our pool has been done for over a year but he responded to my questions immediately and even offered to come out and instruct the installer on how to do it right! 4. Ray and team did all the little things that most would charge extra for or just not do at all. Tim helped me fix a stuck hose faucet one afternoon before he left and even repaired a sprinkler which had nothing to do with the pool install. Tim also repaired my side gate no charge. If you're thinking about a pool, you would be doing yourself a major disservice if you didn't at least get a quote from Alderete Pools!

    My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ray and the Alderete Team to design and build our spa and entertainment area in the backyard. Ray is AWESOME! He worked with my wife and I and designed it to our every need even after multiple changes that my wife and I wanted. He answered every question no matter how silly they may have seemed. Tim his project manager oversaw every detail of the build and made sure that everything was right. Tim's attention to detail was so reassuring and he made sure that the project came out perfectly. I cannot say enough about these guys. The build was on time and within budget. The workers were all top notch and perfectionists. My wife and I strongly recommend this Family owned company and feel like they are all part of our family now. Thank you Ray, Tim, Toby, and the Entire Alderete Team!

    Ray Alderete and his team did a wonderful job building our inground pool/spa. Building a pool is a major project, but they made it as easy as possible. We looked at 6-7 different pool builders and found Ray to be the best balance of quality and value out of all of the builders. From the day the contract was signed to when we had a pool filled with water was about 12 weeks, of which 2 weeks were delays on our side due to the custom order on materials we selected. We had read or heard of various horror stories - like how after your contract is signed you no longer see the person you originally worked with. That wasn't the case here as we saw Ray almost every day and he met with his crews at the start and ending of each major construction phase to make sure no detail wasn't left out. We also liked that Alderete Pools was a 3 generation company (we met and worked with his son Toby as well, who was awesome) - and they have a CA license of that age to back it up unlike a few other companies that would advertise decades of experience only to have a CA license that was a few years old. This was important to me as well, as it meant they built a business to last and I figure they can only do that by keeping happy customers and building quality pools. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alderete pools to anyone.

    Out of the 3 companies, Ray was not the cheapest and I am glad I didn't cheap out and go with the lowest bid.

    I highly recommend Chance and Flow State Pool Service. I have been with Flow State for over a year…read morenow and am very glad that I moved to Flow State. I found Chance from Yelp after my previous pool company began providing inconsistent service. Chance provides great communication and service. Moreover, once Chance began servicing my pool, I realized that the previous pool company was cutting corners on service and product. Once Flow State began servicing, my pool was clearer and the water was softer (salt water) than before. I trust Chance to take great care of my pool - and isn't that what we are all looking for in our vendor partners?

    Chance is awesome! I'm a new pool owner and had no idea how to even turn on the equipment for my…read morepool or care for it. Also, I knew the pool heater was broken before I bought the home. Chance to the rescue! I called him 2 days after moving in. He was at my house within 10 minutes and assessed the situation. Showed me how my pool worked and setup a regular weekly maintenance service (reasonable pricing!). In less than a week, he had a repair person out to replace the heater and by a week later he was out and cleaned everything out, including the filter and replaced the filters with shiny new ones. He is friendly, responsive to communications between services, knowledgeable, and reliable.
