I'll start with this... I did not hire Aloha Pools for my project. They were professional, prompt, and provided a great design for my small yard. I chose to sign a contract based more on overall cost and familiarity with another company. Initially called to get a bid. Met in person and described what I was looking for. They delivered an excellent design that was was a more creative use of space than most other companies. Their overall design included lots of retaining walls and landscaping that was not included in the contest price but would have made for a lovely backyard oasis. They were timely in response to my initial communication and delivered the design earlier than promised. Ultimately, I decided on a company I'd done work with before but I know Aloha would have been a great company to select as well. 5-stars - I couldn't go there just based on contract price being a little higher than the competition and we ultimately got our dream pool for about $8000 less than what Aloha was charging. Again, I'm sure the value is there as they delivered at every interaction. read more

I started the process in March of 2020 by getting quotes from 11 different pool companies within the area. Most had a great pitch, some never showed and one highly recognized company lost my email in the junk folder. Mark was just a straight up honest guy that told it like it is and didn't sell me fluff. Fortunately I wasn't in a rush with the Corona buyers so I had flexibility and time. Price - His price was comparable to the majority of other quotes. You get what you pay for. My learned lesson is to beware of builders that are too cheap or way over priced. Communication - Absolutely top notch!! He always had me plugged into the building phase. Whenever I had a question, he always replied In 10-15 minutes. Work - Also top notch!! From start to finish his crew did a great job. Any concerns that I had were immediately addressed. Suppliers - Although Aloha does have a preferred supplier, talk with Mark and let him know if you already have another supply company in mind. They worked with us and our preference. Payment - NO DOWN PAYMENT AT ALL!! Our first payment was only after the completion of phase 1 and with our approval. From what I came to understand, some companies ask for an upfront down payment, in reality this is to fund other projects and it's not going to your build. read more

I did not hire Mark at Aloha Pools to build me a pool, but he was very prompt and responsive to give me advice about how to get an existing pool permitted with Riverside County Building department, when that original permit expired 2018, and was never closed out. (previous seller didn't want a pool fence, so signed a waiver of release of liability with the pool builder, to not complete the pool fence that was required for issuing closed permit). I want the pool to be permitted for legal reasons. Mark gave me advice on who to contact with the County of Riverside, and what they would do to make it happen. I left messages about this issue with other pool builders before, but no one got back to me, but Mark. read more

Mark and his team did a great job building my pool. I gave Mark free reign on the design and loved his layout the best. Each Monday and more often if necessary, I received a text from Mark with the construction schedule for the week. I always knew who was going to be in my yard and when. I asked all of his sub-contractors about Mark and Aloha. They all loved working for him and had been doing so for several years. I am so happy I went with Aloha on this build. read more

We went with Aloha based on customer service reviews and boy are we glad we did! From start to finish it has been an organized process. We knew who would be in our yard and when. We had a timeline that was followed perfectly. Everyone was very friendly and helpful and our pool is beautiful! Can't recommend them enough read more

I have to give it up to Mark and the crew. We had a very strict deadline. Now, here we are filling up our pool at only 5 weeks. Quality has been excellent. Response to questions, requests, any changes have been immediate. I met with 5 pool companies in the area. Aloha stood out with me. Pricing is super fair and accurate. Only surprise was an extra day of digging due to granite rock layer in my soil. Can't wait to start her up! read more

We absolutely loved working with Mark and Aloha Pools! We broke ground in May 2021 and were swimming by Labor Day. We have now had our pool for almost a year and LOVE it! Mark is so good about staying connected and patient with all of our questions. He was great about communicating what was happening and what was coming next, etc. Our pool and spa turned out even better than we were expecting. Mark goes above and beyond to have exceptional customer service. We highly recommend Aloha Pools! read more

I Recommend Tony to Friends and Family. Always comes through with a great product in a respectable timeline.

I wanted to add my review to give a long term perspective on Mark's work. Mark built my pool about 6 years ago. He was professional, and friendly. He followed through on all promises, and built the pool of our dreams. Our slide and rock work still looks great even after years of use and weather exposure and our equipment still runs perfectly. You won't regret using Aloha pools! read more

Mark is great - he helped us with our first pool - patient, honest, responsive, proactive, thorough and now we have an awesome pool. So happy we went with aloha pool. We compared our experience with others simultaneously in the neighborhood with other builders. We are relieved we went with aloha - read more

Where do I start? This is one of those times I really wish I could give more stars than 5! I was nervous about building a pool. I thought the undertaking of a construction project this large would be stressful. Especially after the first couple estimates I had- contractors not showing up on time or even at all, contractors not getting back to me at all after coming out to estimate, etc. Thankfully at that point a friend referred me to Aloha. The owner, Mark, personally came out to do the estimate. By the next day he had emailed me the quote and the rough design. We immediately decided to choose Aloha based on Mark's professionalism, courtesy, and cost, which was very reasonable. From that point on it was smooth sailing. Some of the things that made the experience so great were: -Everything happened when Mark said it would happen. Either he or his workers showed up when they said they would- no waiting around for anyone! -The price was the price from the beginning. Other than if you choose to upgrade or add extra stonework, nothing in the price changed. No bait and switch, at all. -His work is GORGEOUS. His portfolio is impressive and I will attach a picture of my completed pool. -All of the workers sent to my house were equally courteous, professional, friendly, hardworking, and great at what they do. -Mark is extremely knowledgeable, and uses only top notch, newest technology, on all materials, supplies, equipment, etc. I frequently had questions and concerns regarding the process, the safety, the materials, etc.. he always explained things very thoroughly and set my mind at ease. I love supporting locally owned family businesses, especially when they are as experienced and high quality as Aloha is. You know you are getting the very best pool available when you use this company. I'm grateful we found them! read more

I called to inquire with aloha for a pool quote. I had previously worked with this company and had a great experience with them in building our fire pit. I inquired on August 8 for an appointment... Aug 10 I received a response. Their first appointment was not until September. I agreed... 9/20 came around and no one showed up for the appointment! 2 hours after the appointment time, I sent a follow up email in regards to missing the appointment. A few hours later I received a response on the error with apologies. Although I understand errors happen, if you can't schedule and keep an appointment correctly, how are you going to be able to build my pool in a timely manner? Needless to say I am disappointed! read more

Mark and his team spit coronavirus coming out of their mouths. Nothing but lies. These guys will tell you one thing and do the opposite. They are very incompetent, inept and incoherent. Do not pay Mark until the job is complete. He makes enough money screwing people over that he can afford to pay his team of lazy goons. If you make the mistake that i did and pay him up front in increments, you'll get screwed over. The incompetence is overwhelming.Make sure you get everything in writing. Make sure you have an attorney overlook the docs before you sign anything. This company sucks read more

First part of the year 2018 Aloha Pool & Design finished up my pool and Jacuzzi before summer. This was great. They met their timeline and I was happy with the process. First off Mark listened to what I wanted and gave good feedback of what i wanted feedback on for the design. I feel they came back with a good proposal. I reached out to four other companies to get competitive designs and pricing. When the process started Mark was quick with the communication and answering my questions all through the process. he was proactive in telling me whcih contractors will come out and do what. If they couldn't make it he let me know. I really appreciated being informed every step of the way. Also, there were some changes during the process and he was very reasonable and gave me a heads up before hand what he can change and what he would have to charge me for. I live in a new community and one of my nieghbors started before I did and mine was finished before his. Also, another big item was that doing my research I was confused if I shoud go with a salt water pool or OZone. Ozone was talked up by some companies staying it's muc healthier. Speaking to Mark and Mike who does the finishing touches discussed that in their oppinion OZone isn't their yet. Looking on youtube and reading articles I wasn't hesitant but took their word. I'm glad I did. My nieghbors that put in Ozone still use chlorine tablets. OZone seems to be a bit of BS, at this stage. read more

Words cannot begin to describe our satisfaction with our Aloha Pool! Mark is a taskmaster - a friendly, organized, and experienced contractor who worked directly with us to design and build our beautiful custom pool, as well as install hardscape. Construction projects like ours would've costed more with other pool builders. We knew we wanted a local company, with a strong work ethic. Mark is a great communicator who always answered calls, emails, and texts. His crew was on time, and completing each step with incredible efficiency. The timing of the project was on point, and done to our specifications. We are more than elated by the end result which is better than we imagined! Deepest, heartfelt appreciation to the Aloha team, especially to Mark who made the choice to finally create our backyard dream easy to make. read more

Our pool was completed on time. Our pool was completed in line with our budget. Our pool was completed in line with our expectations. There were concerns that were addressed expeditiously, gracefully and without fuss. Mark treated us with respect from beginning to end. We never felt any concern was too small, trivial or annoying to Mark. The contractors that work with Mark show up when they are supposed to and get the job done and are respectful and easy to reach with questions. While putting in a pool is a huge job having a team that is customer service oriented, that believes that this is single hand-idly the biggest financial decision next to your homes actual purchase, and that as a result your questions are relevant, warranted and should be addressed completely cannot be underrated. At the end of the day I was very pleased with Aloha and I would recommend them to a friend, and I have. read more

Way to go! These guys killed it. Great design, great pool and got it done in the set time frame. Easy to work with and highly recommended.

If you're looking for an honest and reputable pool company, Aloha Pools is the way to go. From the very beginning Mark made us feel comfortable and at ease. He didn't try to up-sell us on anything. He worked within our budget and made some suggestions that we would never have thought of. The build went smoother than I'd ever expected. They're like a well oiled machine. Everyone knows their jobs and they do them well. Our pool was completed in 7 weeks. A week before the deadline! Thank you so much Mark and Aloha Pools!! read more

Aloha pools designed and built our pool In about 8 weeks. Mark is an honest and thorough contractor. Highly recommended. He was referred to me by a friend who was also had his pool built by Aloha pools. read more

Marks makes a ton of money. Do not pay him until the job is finished. He will be your best friend from the beginning to get you to "sign here". You never see him again. His so called "team" is a joke. Never came back to fix the problems they did. I get it, that he's out to make more money elsewhere, but he needs to "follow up. see how everything is going" and finish the job. Typical contractor. "pay me now, no finish later". If he did me right, then he wouldn't receive this accurate review read more

We have had our swimming pool for five months now and had no problems. We are very satisfied with our experience with Aloha Pool & Design meeting all our expectations. Mark and his crew were very professional completing quality work at a rapid pace to meet the deadline that was given to us. He also stayed within budget and even gave us ideas for other options to lower our cost. We highly recommend Aloha Pool & Design. read more

Aloha Pools & Design - the best experience ever, Mark is very honest, reliable, easy to work with and a man of his word. The entire process from listening to our ideas, to his design, to developing the timeline was very smooth. Mark was very interested in what we were looking for rather than trying to push a design on us like some other pool companies. Mark and his crew are very professional and we did not encounter any bumps at all. During our initial meeting with Mark he said it would take about 8 weeks from start to finish - and he was right. After receiving bids from 4 other pool companies we went with Mark and we are so glad we did. You will not be disappointed with the quality of his work and the responsiveness of his crew. read more

So much goes into building a pool. Mark and his team are A1 5 Stars! He designed our custom pool. We went with an pool, reef pad and oversized spa and with two weeping walls with a quartz plaster bottom finish (I highly recommend) We added an exterior acid wash to the concrete finish and WOW! If I had to build a pool again I would call Mark 100% read more

NEVER use Mark as your pool contractor. He smiles in your face to get your business and treats you like crap once he begins the job. Run far away from this company. There were so many mistakes that I brought to Mark and his contractors attention and all he did was make excuses for them. Mark only came by when it was time time to collect a check. Otherwise, I had to deal with non English speaking contractors who treated my yard like a dumpster. Mark with Aloha pools should be put out of business. He prides himself on his schedule but if I didn't make a ton of calls to get him to do his job the pool would have taken forever. Plaster came out like crap which could cost me more money in the long run. read more

We bought a home that had a pool that Aloha had put in two years prior to us buying the house. Anytime I had questions about how to open or close the pool they were so good about trying to answer my questions. Whenever I had to go into the store for products or parts, I always received great service. Everyone has always been friendly and willing to help rather it be on the phone or in the store. Keep up the good work! read more

I cannot speak highly enough of Aloha Pools. We interviewed several pool contractors, but when we met Mark, we knew immediately that we had the right guy. He was not pushy at all, answered all of our questions, and talked us through the entire process. Our yard is not large, but Mark was able to come up with a design that we could never have imagined. We ended up not only having Aloha build us a pool, but they also built a beautiful custom BBQ and patio cover which completed our backyard. Mark stuck to his schedule and completed our project in the timeframe promised. Chris and the rest of the crew were top notch and paid close attention to detail. We now have the backyard of our dreams, thanks to Aloha Pool & Design. read more

I am honored to write this review for Mark and his entire crew for the beautiful backyard he created for us. We built our dream home in Temecula Wine Country and the pool and patio house was the finishing touch. Mark designed the most beautiful pool and we have had so many people say so. This was not our first pool so we had some reservations about the process. From the very beginning design phase to the final result, it was literally painless. Each crew that came was professional and completed the work as promised. Mark listened to us as to what our prior concerns had been with other companies and he assured us that he would always be available for questions. He was! I would highly recommend Mark and his company. Also, very reasonably priced for the amazing backyard he created! read more
