We just had our first exposure , with All Star Pool, and their technician, James. He was knowledgeable, checked everything out , on our pool equipment and made assessments as to what was needed to fix our pool. Now we have to wait until the next date when the assessments are to be fixed. However, our first impressions, of Jimmy and All Star are fantastic. Keep watching.... Ron H-Goodyear read more

Technician hired by Choice Home Warranty assumed that rodent poop from years past was the reason my pool heater stopped working two weeks earlier. Too bad because had he not wrote that in the rport (and since parts weren't available due to heater age), I was prepared to get a new replacement heater from All Star via Choice Warranty. read more

In April 2025, I contacted Choice home warranty for a leak in my pool pump. All Star Pools was the contractor, James came out to the house took his pictures, collected his deductible and sent his report to the insurance company. This interaction was great, the insurance company approved the fix and the job was completed. Fast forward to June 22, 2025. The exact thing that was fixed in april was broken again. I texted the owner of All Star Pools and he told me to make another claim. I was not going to be present when he arrived to evaluate and photograph the new leak. I provided his office my credit card number to pay the co pay. When he arrived my husband was actually home and James stated to him that something must have hit the pipe for it to crack and break like that. James stated he needed the service call fee in cash. He took his pictures and submitted another claim. Please note that my pool pump is behind cement and gated off, there is no way anything could or would have hit that pipe. Needless to say my claim was denied due to the damage not being "normal wear and tear". I had another company come out and fix the problem and they stated who ever completed this took a short cut and the pipe coming out of the connector was not level putting pressure on the connector and that is why it cracked in less then 2 months. I requested both sets of photo's that were taken by the owner on 3 separate occasions (the ones he submitted to Choice home warranty) and no response. My guess is he does not want me to have the pictures due to the fact he knows he did me dirty. James I do not feel that you are a decent man with any kind or morals or ethics and will never use your services again. As for Choice home warranty, they need to drop you like a bad habit. read more

This is the second occasion in as many years, that we have had James come out to service our pool, through our warranty company. He is courteous, friendly, and informative. He was able to repair today's issue and diagnose other issues with our pool system. We find All Star Pools to be a comprehensive, efficient and professional pool service. read more

This company is part of a home warranty company - terrible business. Our pool motor broke: they provided a refurbished motor that broke down less than a month later. I've been waiting going on two weeks for another garbage refurbished motor and my pool is GREEN. They won't replace with a new motor because why should they. Save a penny. Disgusting company and takes the cheap route. Don't use them - such a joke. In the meantime I'm still waiting.... read more

The ABSOLUTE best care, service and customer support! James walks in my backyard and looking at my pool, knows exactly what the problem is & how to fix it. He explains in detail the workings of my pool equipment and what is needed to fix it. Maria sends me an estimate for my final approval and a scheduled completion date/time. I trust their pricing for parts & service and find that the cost is well worth the quality work provided. Soon all parts are changed out and my pool is up and running once again. I always call "All Star Pools" for my pool problems and they always come through. I highly recommend you call them too! read more

I have used this company several times through my home warranty. They are always friendly and if I ask a question they are honest. Maria is the best super friendly. If you are going through your home warranty they do their best to get your claims approved. If they can't it's not their fault it's based on what your home warranty will pay... But love working with them read more

James Huey is the owner of this company and he physically assaulted me today at his place of business which is also his home and I was not aware of this until I arrived there. I went there bc i wanted a refund on the service call. I rang the doorbell and he answered the door. I asked if he was the owner of the All Star pools and he said yes and told me I had some nerve showing up. I said this is your place of business. You won't take my so I came to your place of business. He came out of the door and got within inches of me and told me to get off his property. He then shoved me with both hands to the point I got completely spun around and tripped over his dog. He then continued backing me up and then shoved me again. I told him you can't physically assault a woman I'm calling the cops. I called the cops and I filed a report and I'm pressing charges. He was not arrested bc he said he did not touch me. LIE!! i am a woman and no man should put his hands on a woman or any other human being and he did it without a second thought or even a pause. Every woman is at risk with this person around. DO NOT HIRE HIM!!!! I have reported this to Choice Home Warranty so no other person has to go through what I went through. He's dangerous and unprofessional. read more

Very reliable company. Technicians were professional and courteous. They explained everything they were going to do, how long it was going to take to do it, and completed the job on time exactly as promised. Highly recommend. read more

After having used All Star Pools for a few years, they never let me down. They provide fast, friendly, and professionals service. James and his employees really know their business, probably because they have had sooo much experience! I highly recommend them and vouch for James' integrity, fairness, and honesty. read more

James came to my house, after waiting 10 days since claim was placed. Though I sent the warranty company AND All Star Pools direct pics of work needed, he said I am not able to do any work today. I asked how long, he said he wasn't sure. I said I sent pics to help avoid this. He tells me find someone else. If you can't have a conversation and express what you tried to do to prevent this with this guy throwing a fit, then this company doesn't need to exist. This is 100% factual, and I 100% expect James to reply with some garbage response. ***Like I said, James would make us some sh&t. Trash cans that were like 15 feet from where we were standing? Come up with a better story. read more

Amazing 30 year family business! I lucked out when he came out on a home warranty claim. James, his wife(on the phone), and his son were all friendly, punctual, respectful and most of all my pool has never performed better! Because of his longevity in business he had the obsolete parts needed for repairs. My pool people told me I'd have to buy all new parts which would've cost me about $2000. Don't give it a second thought, All Star Pools is the company you need! read more

Horrible horrible customer service. If you're looking to get you job done, please go somewhere else, heck allstar pools told me the same. They came out after my home warranty company sent my pool service request to them. They seemed nice at first but then everything went down hill. Named a few things needed yo fix including my motor. Said they would have to take it to the shop to rebuild. After I paid the invoice, James suddenly said they will just bring a refurbished motor to replace my motor in site. I was still fine with that. After reviewing the invoice, I found they'll still charge me for an o-ring which I already told them I had, and that they shouldn't include in the invoice. Reached out to James to ask if he could remove it from my bill as I have a brand new one they can use. He lost in and asked me to go somewhere else, then refunded me. Wow! No explanation why they couldn't use the o-ring I had. Please go somewhere else if you want to get your pool work done. read more

Horrible communication from the company and then company posting on here trying to discredit the reviewer. I've seen they said have claimed someone "let a barrage of expletives" and another person "incessantly called daily" so obviously it's not the companies fault. Duh, every single customer they have is crazy! In all truthfulness, any company that has to resort to insulting their customers for being unhappy is a shitty business, how about doing what it takes to fix the problem as opposed to trying to discredit the person who just wants their pool fixed. It ain't rocket science! If you want poor service and lies, this place is for you. If you want your pool fixed properly, go with another one of the many around Phoenix. UPDATE: Honestly thank you for proving my point. That's not me whoever you are talking about because I actually never scheduled service from you. It was a friend who did that I experienced your pathetic attempt at customer service. But again, hopefully someone reads this because it 100% shows you just try to attack people as opposed to helping them. P.S. you can save that review you left for me when the person who you are actually referring to leaves a review. read more

Having used Allstar pos for several years. It comes with a big disappointment that I had to find a new company to service our pool needs. Within the last year I was given erroneous information as to the service our pool needed. Also, the cost of repairs kept escalating and the trust we once had with the service personal had deteriorated. Fortunately we found a company now that for the moment has gained our trust and we will see if the change was a wise one with a future review. But for now. our relationship with All-Star pools is terminated. read more

Once again, James has given us quick and reliable service as always. I only wish we could trust all service providers like we trust this man! We are getting ready to sell our home and the inspector flagged an item on our equipment. I called on Friday and James came out Monday morning with a text to let me know he was on his way. As usual, it was resolved in one visit. You can't go wrong with Allstar and we're leaving his number for the new house owners too! read more

Wish I could give negative stars!! This company is a joke and knows exactly what to say to warranty companies so that they will not cover any repairs!! read more

If you value your money and equipment in the words of Pink Floyd "Run Like Hell" Knowing the back pressure was high in the sand filter he sends a statement to my warranty service saying the is no mechanical issue. Bottom line I now have to pay an additional service fee because of his actions. I WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND THIS COMPANY NOT EVEN TO PEOPLE I DISLIKE. read more

1 Year warranty my ass! I purchased a refurbished Hayward Ecostar Drive from these clowns on ebay for $355 on July 13th, delivered to my home in Southern CA on July 16th 2018. Worked great until Aug 16th 2018 when it started reducing the RPM to 400 during the timer cycle and wouldn't go past 3000. The control panel also went bad within a few days of contacting them and made my pump run 24/7. I contacted All-Star-Pools through ebay to ask for help in troubleshooting on Aug 16th. No reply for a week, so on Aug 23 I requested a return and they promptly declined it. I will be filing a complaint with the BBB as well as a chargeback with my credit card company. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED, DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE!!!! This is not a licensed contractor, do not let him build your pool, SUSPENDED IN 2014!!! https://www.azroc.gov/forms/details.asp?license=182941 Also not licensed to do business in the city in which his shop is located. UPDATE: If you want more reasons to never do business with this company just look at James' response. Looks like anyone who has anything bad to say about his company get childish insults thrown back at them. Here is a copy of the message sent to him that HE NEVER RESPONDED TO!!!: New message to: all-star-pools Hi, I am hoping you can help me with a problem I am having with my EcoStar system. I installed your refurbished drive about 3 weeks ago and everything has been great. Today though, the system would not go beyond the PRIME function of Quick Clean, only a faint whisper once the priming was done. I also notice that my speed setting 4(3450rpm) would do the same thing. I swapped the control panel with the one that came with your refurbished drive but it did not change anything. I noticed that anything over 3000 rpm makes the system go into this whisper quiet, barely pumping mode. Functions are normal as long as 3000 rpm isn't exceeded. Could this be a defective drive? WHO IS THROWING A HISSY FIT NOW? read more

Brian's team installed a new liner in our 29,000 gallon pool three years ago and still stands by his work! We recently had some minor sagging in a few areas of the liner and after calling he happily swung by and took care of it, no problem. We were referred to All Star Pools by a friend and have no regrets at all. Great team, great pricing and great results, thanks Brian! read more

Does not return messages. After 1 eek and 1/2 dozen calls he only has excuses. I would not trust him with our pool

Soooo our normal guy that works with our home warranty had an issue and. Couldn't come out so they gave our service call to James. Well let's first start by saying we placed a call 6 days before he came out. Our pool pump stopped working still turns on but obviously the motor is out. We've had this happen...... comes out is here a total of three minutes with my husband standing with him the whole time. Turns is on turns it off and leaves saying we need a new motor. We knew that but then goes and tells our warranty company it quit working because of the rain. First off it wasn't raining when it went out and second how the hell did you diagnose that in three minutes by turning it on and off? So now my warranty company is saying it's not covered huh? I of course will not let that go and getting a second opinion from the guy that was supposed to come out in the first place! James you should be ashamed! What did you think we were gonna pay you the 250 for the pump oh nope I also made a formal complaint with landmark. You are deceptive and it's baffling as to why. I have cameras on my house to show wasn't raining and also it lives outside and is completely incased how can rain damage them???? read more

James was amazing! Fixed my pool quickly. After another company tried to overcharge for stuff that wasn't wrong.

Needed a repair done on my pool pump setup. Even though James wasn't able to answer the phone he was very prompt in returning my call. He was able to get to my house the next day and completed repairs smoothly and fixed the issue. The online invoice billing made accessing and paying the invoice a breeze. I would recommend this company to anyone needing help with their pool! read more

Called our Home Warranty company about an error light on our pool chlorine generator. They sent out an "expert" from All Star Pool Service. For a $69.00 service fee all he did was take pictures and left with the words, "I have to talk to my Boss". If that was as much as he could do then why didn't the "Boss" come out in the first place!. I went on YouTube and with the help of a multitester I figured out the problem and fixed it myself. If anyone wants pictures of my equipment call All Star Pool service but don't ask for any actual service. Clowns! read more

James W. Huey at All Star Pools is The Wizard of Pool Filter System Repair. He is not only a technician but also a scientist -- from his approach to delivery. When he was at his busiest in Phoenix in the month of August, he fit me in and solved my problem like I was the most important person in the world. Later when an expensive piece of equipment needed replacement, he honored the warranty 100%, no questions asked. I have had swimming pools since childhood and nobody--absolutely NOBODY--compares to James' knowledge, skill, more-than-fair prices, rapid responses, and customer service that is worthy of community awards. read more

I can't even begin to explain how much I appreciate All Star Pools. When James says in his description that you get him and only him, it's the truth and I could not be more thankful for all the work that he has done for me. I have had some horrible experiences with pool guys in the past and James has been my go to guy for a couple of years now when anything goes wrong. He ALWAYS gets the job done! He is knowledgable, fair, hard-working, and most importantly he is honest. He has always gone the extra mile for me and has saved me a lot of money in the long run. If you need any work done on your pool I highly recommend him, there is no one better in all of AZ. read more

James is the Jedi master of pool repair! Seriously, his knowledge of how a pool system operates and how to repair them is unsurpassed. He has fixed my pool issues for years and always has been top notch. He most recently diagnosed and fixed a problem with my pool over the phone!! (When my weekly pool guy said that issue would probably cost me over a thousand dollars). James is a stand up guy and we highly recommend him. read more

All star pools really does great work. James came out to work on my pool. He found what was wrong in about 5 minutes. Clear pool solutions had been out 3 times and each time left saying my pool problem was fixed. I would recommend All star pool company to anyone that has a pool problem!! James is really good at what he does! He even called an hour later to check if everything was still okay and running properly! M. Hack read more

James was outstanding when called to service my pool/spa's heater. He was prompt, professional and extremely knowledgeable across the various components of the system. He took the time to educate me and answered all of my countless questions. I would highly recommend All Star Pools to family and friends in the future. read more

I highly recommend All Star Pools. James is amazing. He is knowledgeable, courteous, and prompt in both returning phone calls and providing service. I've had experience with many pool services in the past, and All Star Pools is definitely one I will reach out to you again when I am in need of repair service. My pool pump runs even better now than when it was new. I was shocked at how quiet it was when he reinstalled it after the motor rebuild, and he even provides a one-year warranty. read more

They will keep coming back... you call them for help, they fix the original issue but break another issue.. then you call them for that issue and another issue arises... in the same day!!!! If you want to get hosed call All Star for crappy experience. read more

Once again Yelp reviews proved to be true! I have been frustrated with pool repair companies for years, not returning calls - late to show up - bumping the estimate due to....... Read yelp reviews for All Star and gave James a try. Just as everyone said he called back within 60-90 min's after I left a message. I sent him some pic's of issue and he gave me a quote. He was able to schedule for 2 days from initial contact, texted me when on the way and completed the work per the quote given off pictures! James is very polite and takes the extra time to communicate. truly lives up to the name of "All Star"! read more

I didn't even want to give this contractor one star but I can't post zero stars. You will be so sorry if you have this company come out to diagnosis your pool. James with All Star Pools is very unprofessional. He tells his customers one thing and then reports a different story to home warranty companies. I would definitely not recommend this company to anyone. If your home warranty has them as a contractor ask for a different contractor or you will regret it. read more

I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to have a pool guy you trust implicitly. James from Allstar is that guy. I have been using and recommending him for over six years now and he is the best! He gives you options for how to handle issues depending on your cash situation, and lets you pay on line with a credit card too. You won't be sorry for using him! read more

Beware. They will do what they can to get your home warranty to deny the claim. They came out to repair a "loose wire" (great!) and yet for 2 more weeks after their visit the pool didn't run. Then had them come back out in 2 weeks only to have THEM tell warranty company that the pool was in disrepair... of course, it hadn't run for 2 weeks because pool runs in the middle of the night - who knew it wasn't running until I woke up at 3:30am to find it NOT running! Hence the second trip for pool repair! (This was after I spent $650 to drain, bleach and refill the pool so all of that expense is now OUT THE WINDOW because they took the machine hostage for $408 a week ago - paid it and still don't have my pool pump back!!) They will do anything to get your home warranty company to not cover the charge so that you have to pay it yourself! Had they fixed it the first time, all would be great. read more
