    Elise & her team at First Choice Pool & Spa are incredible! I was in serious need of a new Pool/Spa Heater and I posted on NextDoor. Elise reached out right away & was able to get me the best price & let me know I was even eligible for a $400 rebate. She was able to install the heater the next day. She went over & beyond to make sure I was happy! I highly recommend First Choice to anyone looking for any kind of Pool/Spa service. They Rock! Thanks again Elise : )

    Wow wow wow! Elise and her husband are as amazing as it gets! We just moved to a new home with a pool and first time pool owners, we are a little new to caring for the pool. However, Elise came the next day, assessed all of the equipment we needed to upgrade, brought everything later that week, made the install and didn't break the bank. They even made our backyard lighting look amazing! They are literally a home owners dream! They are the nicest people, knowledgeable, and always willing to go the extra mile for us. Would absolutely recommend to anyone!

    Castro Pool - New project

    Castro Pool

    (31 reviews)

    I recently switched to Castro Pool after dealing with a previous pool service that completely…read moredropped the ball. My old pool guy wasn't maintaining the pool properly, and it got to a point where it was no longer usable. Castro Pool came in and completely turned things around. They took the time to properly assess the condition, reset the system, and get everything back on track. Within a short time, the pool went from looking rough to being in amazing, crystal-clear condition again. What really stood out was their professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work and keeping the pool in top shape--not just doing a quick pass and leaving. If you're dealing with pool issues or just want reliable service, I highly recommend Castro Pool. They brought my pool back to life.

    I rarely leave negative reviews, but after spending thousands on what was supposed to be a…read morestraightforward spa coping replacement, I think it's important to share my experience. The project was estimated to take about five days. Instead, it stretched to nearly three weeks because one issue after another kept coming up. What became most frustrating was that I felt like I had to constantly inspect the work and point out obvious problems as they happened. The new spa coping profile didn't match the existing pool coping, but even worse, one half of the spa coping had a different reveal than the other half (see pics), the bullnose was noticeably uneven, extensive patching was required after the initial pour, and the mastic installation had to be redone. Every time one issue was addressed, another seemed to appear. The final, and still unresolved, problem involved the three spillways between the raised spa and the pool. During the project, the Castro team unnecessarily removed and discarded original spillway stone. They installed replacement stone, but after the spa was refilled, the spillways no longer functioned as they had before the project. Because of the way the replacement stone was installed, water that previously flowed fairly evenly across all three spillways now flows almost entirely through one, with little bit in the middle one, and pretty much no flow in the third. What disappointed me most was what happened next. I wasn't asking Isidoro to immediately fix it. I simply asked him to come back, look at the spillways with me, compare them to the videos from before the project, discuss what changed, and come up with a plan to fix it. Instead, after I had already given him the final payment, he told me it would cost another $1,500 to address the issue and he was too busy immediately to come fix it. He never came to inspect the work in person and on my last phone call with him, he told me to fix it myself and literally hung up on me. I understand that construction projects don't always go perfectly. Mistakes happen. What matters is whether a contractor takes ownership of problems and works with the customer to resolve them. That didn't happen here. If the workmanship issues had been the only problem, I probably wouldn't be writing this review. It was the combination of repeated quality issues, the need to continually monitor the work myself, and the unwillingness to come back and inspect a legitimate concern after the project was completed that left me unable to recommend Castro Pool Services.

    We had our pool built by CATAK Pools (completed Nov 2025) and overall had a really positive…read moreexperience. Before moving forward, we met with 3 different contractors, and Mike was the only one who really understood our vision. We didn't want to tear out our existing concrete or patio cover, which made the project more complicated, but he was able to design around it and still deliver exactly what we were hoping for. That flexibility was a big reason we chose them. We broke ground on 9/15/25 and everything was complete by 11/10/25!!! It was crazy how fast everything went and he definitely did an amazing job coordinating all the teams to finish in a timely manner. We went with a custom setup that included a raised spa, Baja shelf, and two illuminated sheer descents, and everything came together really well. The spa might just be one of the biggest in town! The water features at night give the whole backyard a clean, finished look, with the lights. We also added the iAquaLink system, which has been super convenient for controlling everything from our phones. Like any build, there were a few minor things that came up along the way, but nothing major, and Mike has been responsive when we needed him. What stood out most is that he didn't disappear after the job was done-- Mike continues to be helpful when we've had questions or needed small adjustments. That kind of follow-through matters with a project like this, and it's a big reason we'd recommend CATAK. Looking forward to enjoying the pool for years to come and continuing to work with them if anything comes up down the line. I will add some pictures soon!

    I just had my pool completely remodeled by CATAK Pools, including new Pebble Sheen, new tile, and…read morenew Deco Seal, and I honestly couldn't be happier with the results. I'm not someone who typically writes reviews, and this is actually my first one, but when you have an experience like the one I had with Mike and CATAK Pools, a review is absolutely deserved. Let me start by saying that both my father and my husband have been contractors, so I grew up around construction and, as you can imagine, my expectations and standards were extremely high from the very beginning. That being said, Mike didn't just meet my expectations--he exceeded them from day one. Everything was delivered exactly as promised and scheduled, and in several cases, even sooner than expected. The finished pool is absolutely stunning. The craftsmanship is beautiful, and the entire crew was professional, respectful, and incredibly clean. Every day, they left my yard neat and tidy, which made the entire process so much easier. One of the things that impressed me most was how responsive Mike was. If I ever had a question or concern, I could text him and he would respond within minutes--sometimes literally within seconds. That level of communication is something you don't always get with contractors, and I truly appreciated knowing that I could reach him whenever I needed to. I spent about three months researching contractors and getting MANY estimates from local companies. Coming from a contractor family, we've always lived by the saying, "Cheap work isn't good, and good work isn't cheap." Mike was not the highest estimate, and he certainly wasn't the lowest. But he was, without a doubt, the best choice for us. Every penny was well spent. Looking back, I'm so grateful that I trusted my instincts and chose Mike and CATAK Pools. If you're getting ready to remodel your pool, do yourself a favor and save yourself the headache and stress of interviewing contractor after contractor. I can honestly say that I would choose CATAK Pools again in a heartbeat. Our family is looking forward to many, many years of enjoying our beautiful new pool. Thank you, Mike, and the entire CATAK Pools crew, for doing such an amazing job. We are truly grateful!

We got quotes from several pool remodeling companies and Smart Swim came in right in the middle. We are strong believers on "you get what you pay for," and opted to go with them even though they were not the cheapest. From beginning to end, the guys at Smart Swim were easy to work with and truly wanted our project to come out great. After 30 years, it was time for our pool to have a remodel! Through the remodel, it was uncovered that we had many severe leaks, down to the rebar that needed to be fixed in some areas. Sam was great at making sure we understood the severity and that we were okay with any new costs that needed to be added. Not only did they do our pool, but also installed turf by the pool area and put pavers all around the pool and yard area. We also got the new gray gate installed from them as well, to replace the wooden fence in the yard (between the pool). **Noting that the perimeter wall/wooden top was painted black and sanded/stained by a different company. We truly appreciate their hard work and even when we had an immediate death in the family during their time working on our project, they were very respectful and gave us some space as needed. BIG THANK YOU to Shai that really has the ultimate patience and knows how to give amazing customer service!! You all are lucky to have him on your team!
