    Mike M.

    Richard at Classic Pools and Spas created a dream come true. Everyone was courteous and professional keeping me informed of the process from start to finish. Would highly recommend Classic Pools and Spas for your next project.

    Let me start by admitting I'm a contractor's worse nightmare as I expect everything to be perfect. Richard and his team went above and beyond to meet my expectations, something I don't think other pool builders in the valley would have done. Yes we exchanged a few choice words (or maybe I did) during the build along with several of his eye-rolls, but at the end of the day he made everything right. Construction projects are not perfect so keep that in mind when you start yours. Karissa is their Office Manager, she is the gatekeeper and to get through to either of the Richard's (yes there is a younger version of Richard Sr.), you have to go through her, so stay on her good side! She was always very pleasant to me and returned all my calls and emails promptly. Richard Jr. is responsible for sales/quotes as well as their draftsman. He was very enthusiastic when onsite, had great ideas, an eye for detail, and returned the quote within the timeframe he promised. Their showroom is not very large and did not have a good selection of hardscape material, pool tile, pavers etc., so make sure Richard Jr. makes an appointment at NPT in Palm Desert where you will find a large selection to choose from. The landscaping was done by Land Savvy, Indio CA. Ozzy the owner is amazing, knowledgeable in horticulture, and competitively priced. Richard Sr. now uses Ozzy after he saw the work he did at my build. I have had one service call since the build and it was responded to in a timely manner. Classic Pools is family owned and operated and competitively priced. I truly feel the build was done as though they were building the pool for themselves. Build start 3/30/21, Completed 6/10/21

    We interviewed 9 pool companies to redo our whole backyard and Classic Pools was by far the best out of all the interviews.They were very knowledgeable and had the best pricing. They also showed us several properties that they had worked on to give us ideas of what we wanted. We met former clients of theirs and they were all extremely happy with their service. We are so glad we went with them. Our pool and backyard overhaul turned out so much better then we could have ever expected. Richard Jr. did a great job designing our pool and backyard and Richard Sr. did an awesome job executing it. They always responded quickly to any questions or concerns I had and stayed on time to complete the project. Our project took roughly three months to complete. It was a large project and we couldn't be happier with the end product. We would highly recommend them.

    Richard at Classic Pools is an artist. He has built 2 pools for me and also re-tiled/plastered and added water feature at our vacation rental. Our backyard is a resort now thanks to Classic Pools. Richard built our pool, layed pavers for our deck, built a fire pit, outdoor shower and outdoor kitchen! All done beautifully, on time and on budget. I would only go to Classic Pools for building or updating your pool and outdoor space!

    I have never met someone with such integrity, work ethics and honesty!!!! We researched and talked to so many, many pool contractors before we decided on Richard to put a pool in our backyard. Richard was the cheapest and highest in quality! He finished the pool in the time that he said he would. He was always responsive to our questions/calls, was always on the job site supervising. We kept adding features, such as fire bowls, misting, lighting, to our pool while the construction was still underway. Richard was very accommodating and knowledgeable! At the end, we got the pool of our dreams with so many bells and whistles. He was and still is very responsive to our calls even AFTER the pool was built. We wanted to add some features such as outdoor showers after pool construction was finished. He was never hesitant to lend us his expertise on all things related to pool and backyard landscape. We still call him whenever we have questions on pool maintenance. I can't say enough good things about Richard! He is the guy if you are looking to build a pool of your dreams at the cheapest cost and fastest time frame!

I was quite impressed with the Yelp reviews of Melo's Pools. I sent a quote request via Yelp and had a response within 10 minutes! Appointment was set for five days later. Albert and Pablo arrived to my home on time. They measured, took pictures and assessed the pool along with the pool pump system. We discussed ideas, timelines, finance options and they left me with a book that contained sample ideas. The following week I met both of them at their showroom to look at the actual tiles and find a match for the pebble. Albert and Pablo were great at making suggestions and giving me space without any pressures of making a decision, signing a contract, etc. A couple weeks later I signed contract and a demo date was set. The crew was on time the first day, and that stayed true until end of project. To no surprise there was a leak detected after opening up the plaster. Mauricio, the project manager, brought it to my attention immediately. He showed me the issue, explained what needed to be done, had a plan ready to go and with my sign off they had the issue fixed expeditiously and the project was kept on track. As a matter of fact, the project was completed a week earlier! Even my neighbors commented how quickly they worked and how great the pool turned out. From Day 1 to the end, the entire crew was respectful. Mauricio kept me updated on the progress of the project. Even after the project, Pablo and Mauricio came back (each separately) to ensure all was good. As I explained to them both, the tile is even more beautiful in the daylight and the colored grout was a perfect match! Worth every penny. Customer service is above and beyond at Melo's. Working with Melo's was effortless. Thanks to Melo's, I love my pool again. Thank you, Albert, Pablo, Mauricio, Art and crew!

If you've ever gone through a pool installation, you know it's a major project--but Melos made it feel smooth and manageable. They were efficient, professional, and kind throughout the process. It's clear this is a family-run business with heart. Even after the installation, they've been there for us--answering questions and helping us learn the ins and outs of pool ownership. Albert Melos and Amber (who truly runs the show!) have both been tremendous and a pleasure to work with. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool!

She wanted it finished when she moved in March which ended up to be a fabulous idea. I thought the price was outrageous however after seeing the amount of time and work her project took before, during , and after I agree this was the only way to go. The amount of money was justified by the scope of the project. They are the only ones that Disney allows to landscape in the community. Good choice by Disney. They have a Beautiful design center if you would like to be a part of the process. If not, they are capable of planning your project. My sister lived out of town so I worked with Graham and Gregory for many days just in the planning stage because my sister has a very large lot somewhat pie shaped and hard to figure out. She did not want a pool just two separate water features. Gregory was very patient with the plans and plant selection. We even met him at their nursery to pick out all the trees and plants! And Graham is such a nice man , extremely knowledgeable, and he tries very hard to please and always comes through on his word. My sister and I are thrilled with her yard and customer service from every last person who worked on her project at Teserra . All,pictures were taken the first week so plants need time to grow Thank you Teressa
