    Sand paper sucked in to pool sweep
    Sharie D.

    I called Karlo after reading the 5 star reviews on Yelp. He seemed to know what he was doing, and was professional for the most part. Our previous pool guy was old school and was having issues getting our PH levels correct. There was always a white acid line around our brand new tile. Karlo assured me that he would correct the PH and get rid of the line without it coming back. I hired him and he cleaned our pool for several months. The acid line would go away the one day of the week that he cleaned our pool, but would come right back the next day (it wasn't a huge deal since the rest of the pool seemed to stay clean). Now, on to the part that earned him 1 star (would be zero if possible). We had a few rust spots coming through our brand new pebble tech (from previous rebar that was not removed by the company who installed the pebble tech, but it was apparently not covered under their warranty since it was existing). Karlo said he wanted to drain the pool to take care of a few issues with the water, and would sand off and "fix" the rust, while the pool was drained. Since the spots had been sanded off 2 other times, my husband asked Karlo if he thought putting a little apoxy over the areas where the rust was, would help it from coming back. Karlo said he had never done it, but would give it a shot. We were out of town when this took place and we came home to 3 areas that stood out horribly worse than the rust. One of which was the size of a grapefruit and dark yellow. The second area, he had clearly dripped/spilled the epoxy in two other spots under where the actual rust was, and those were dark gray. The third spot was the size of a golf ball and a white color. All on top of our sparkly blue pebble tech and abalogne shell. We also noticed that our pool sweep was not working, even though it was on. My husband jumped in and found sand paper sucked up in to the sweep, blocking it from sucking or moving. Thank goodness that wasn't ruined also. When I brought this to Karlo's attention, he said he knew and would come back to fix it all. He tried a second time, with a new tool he bought, but nothing worked. I went outside to discuss it with him and he told me I needed to call the company that installed the pebble tech, to fix it. I was very calm and asked him why I would need to call them, when he was the one who ruined our pool. He proceeded to pick up his equipment and said that he felt threatened and we needed to part ways! I asked him how he could leave us with our pool ruined and worse than before he tried to "fix"it. I texted him the next morning, and never received a response! Horrible customer service and now we are left with a damaged pool, trying to find someone to repair his mistakes. I am still in shock!

    Carlo is the best! My pool filter was broken and he came and fixed everything as fast as he could because we had a birthday party coming up. He knew exactly what was wrong with the pool! Amazing clean service. The water is sparkling. I've never seen it so clean highly recommend !

    My pool has been sparkling ever since Carlos took over the maintenance and it's been maybe about 2 years now.

    Provided a comprehensive review of our pool and its condition. Was very detailed in what was…read moreneeded. Provided an estimate in a timely manner.

    We just finished a complete renovation of our pool with Oscar's Pool Service, and I can honestly…read moresay it was one of the best decisions we've made as homeowners. When we bought our house three years ago, we knew the pool needed to be redone. Unfortunately, because of other major repairs, we had to wait. Our house was a flip, and whoever patched up the pool before us did a quick, cosmetic job that started falling apart within months. The plaster came off in sheets, the 1960s tile was covered in decades of calcium buildup, the coping was old red brick with mortar literally crumbling out, and some jets and plumbing didn't even work. The pool was technically swimmable, but it was depressing to look at. This summer our weekly pool cleaner told us the plaster was about to fail completely, so we started calling around for estimates. Most of the big corporate companies gave us inflated quotes and made us feel like just another job number. A trusted friend recommended Oscar's, so we checked Yelp, saw all the great reviews, and gave him a call. Oscar came out immediately, took careful measurements, walked us through every detail, and his knowledge and professionalism instantly won our trust. From there, the process moved quickly. Within a week of signing, his crew demoed the entire pool in just a few hours. We got to choose tile from several suppliers and ended up with a beautiful pebble mosaic that matched our house. At first, we thought we'd keep the old red brick coping, but at the last minute we switched to a modern dark gray brick. Best decision ever! It completely transformed the look of our backyard. As often happens with older homes, surprises came up: our original 1964 gas and electrical lines were corroded and had to be replaced. Oscar handled everything--brought in trusted contractors, coordinated the work, and saved us the headache of dealing with multiple companies. While we were at it, we upgraded our equipment to a top-of-the-line Jandy system with Wi-Fi controls, plus added a heater and automatic pool filler. Yes, the budget went up, but every upgrade was worth it. Watching the transformation was amazing. Once the new tile, coping, and plaster went in, it felt like we had a brand-new pool built from scratch. The white plaster makes the water sparkle, the equipment runs quietly and efficiently, and with the heater and lights, we can swim comfortably day or night, year-round. Beyond the work itself, what made the experience so special was Oscar and his family. He's personable, honest, hardworking, and clearly cares about his craft. His crew was professional, respectful, and fast. By the end, it felt like we weren't just hiring a contractor--we were working with people who truly cared about making our home better. Now every time we step into our backyard, we can't believe the difference. What was once an eyesore is now the centerpiece of our home, and we're enjoying it constantly. If you need pool renovation, plaster, tile, coping, or even just reliable weekly service in the San Fernando Valley--call Oscar's. He's the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKKSP_c4UY

    Incredibly disappointing service, I would never recommend paying what they were charging to get…read moreconsistently subpar service. We had them service our pool for a year. We didn't really notice how bad the service was because we had a new born and we're busy with other things. Service: They would come and service our pool for 4-7 minutes, we have video proof that they came in threw in chemicals, poorly brushed our pool. There were some weeks where they wouldn't show up and still charge us for services. They never, NOT ONCE ever recommended anything, it wasn't until I made mention that the pool seemed off that they recommended other services. As a service provider it's important they let the client know what can be done to keep the pool in better condition. Breaking point: We asked to have the main filter cleaned out because the pool was looking so bad, so they did it... we noticed that DE kept coming into the pool, they did try to remedy the problem but it took too long to fix. Finally they found out that the gasket was worn out so we needed a new one, after they replaced the gasket the pump went out. It wasn't until we noticed and contacted them that they said anything about it. Yet again another example where we had to bring up an issue they caused. Come to find out the pump gave out - I found it odd that it had been working well before they fixed the gasket and then it wasn't. Thank God I have home warranty because that mistake would have cost us $2,300-$3,000 dollars! Finally we get the pump fixed and everything gets put back to order, the following cleaning schedule, we walk outside to find a dead bird on our new TURF. We let Danny know about it and said that the technician said it was already there. The bird is still clearly wet in the pictures. All I needed him was to apologize and we could have moved past it, but he doubled down and basically called us liars. Communication: M & M pools never advised us when something was wrong, it was always us reaching out to them. Although they were always professional they never owned up to the issues addressed. I would NEVER recommend this provider to anyone.

    I have been using them until today. Danny is a puppet of his dad. You don't get real…read morerecommendations from them and all suggestions are manipulated. They intend to simply see an opportunity to seize 100-200$ on a periodic basis on top of regular pool maintenance service. I had hired them to drain the pool and here is their end result. My pool is smelling bad, unhygienic and not completely drained too.
