So, earlier this year I realized I needed to have my pool replastered. I got pricing from 7 different companies. Gammon Pools was not the least expensive, nor were they the most expensive bid. They were right in the middle. What made me choose them is the presentation and professionalism. They also came recommended by East Mountain Pool Supplies. They offered a written proposal and insurance documentation without being asked. I looked at the CSLB website and their license and workman's compensation were all in place. The office personnel were in place and were great in communication through email, phone and in person. As far as the job went, Eric took or returned all my calls. The communication was superb. Eric really knows his stuff and always had an answer to all my questions. The quality of work is amazing and I can't be happier with how it turned out. I definitely recommend Gammon Pools for your next pool project. I work with contractors a lot in a professional capacity on a daily basis at work, and I would say Gammon Pools is right up there with the best of them. read more

Think twice before you use this company to resurface your pool. They do not warranty or guarantee their work. We had our entire pool gutted 2 1/2 years ago and we already have rust spots which they will not fix. Feels like when you remodeled a pool, it should last more than just 2 1/2 years. We did not patch our pool, we drained it, took the entire surface off. And had it completely resurfaced, & tiled. When a company doesn't even warrantee their work short term, you know they must have a history of problems. read more

Great experience with Gammon Pools. We hired Gammon Pools to renovate our poor 20 year old Pool and Spa after our neighbor told us about their experience. Gammon Pool pricing is competitive, the team at Gammon Pools; from the crew on site to the pool start up team was friendly, professional and organized. They cleaned up and organized the construction area after each shift which we appreciate as we have nosey pets. Eric, was the project manager and it was a pleasure working with him. He kept us updated with the schedule, any changes and addressed our questions and concerns immediately or by the end of the day. We could not be more happier with the end result. Thank you Gammon Pools. Pictures are before and after. read more

I have to tell you, this experience was so much more professional and well managed compared to the original pool construction. Gammon Pools communicated well with me. They set out the schedule. They worked the schedule. They answered my questions before, during and after completion of the project. The people are kind and friendly. I can't say enough. read more

We recently had our pool refinished. I cannot tell you how impress my husband and I were with Gammon pools. They showed up on time, took their time to do things right, answered all questions with valid responses and definitely had pride in their work. They were extremely clean and never left a mess. I highly recommend Gammon Pools. read more

We had a great experience with Gammon Pools. Our pool had cracked, broken tile and coping plus we have been unhappy with the pebble coating since having the pool was installed. 25 years ago, we selected a brown pebble color and didn't realize brown plus blue water equals green...so even when the water was clean, it still looked green. Finally we have a blue pool! Eric worked closely with us to make sure we selected the best options for tile and pebble, plus he had an auto-fill installed. The entire crew were professional and very concerned about delivering a quality remodel. Caesar did an amazing job installing the new tile - it all looks great. Eric communicated clearly about the schedule so we always knew when and which crew would be here to work and they completed the work on schedule. read more

We hired Gammon Pools to resurface my 13-year old pool with PebbleTec. We hired them as my friend who had recently had his pool built by another pool company told me that the other pool company had brought in Gammon to do the PebbleTec surface. I figured they must be the experts then, and figured I'll go straight to them without any middlemen. We were on a schedule as we had a big party coming up, and didn't want to risk the project being under way during the party. Don promised that Gammon would get the project done in time, and they did. After draining the pool, they took two days to get the plaster off, then two days to fix the coping and the rust spots the pool had due to mistakes of the original builder. Then one day to do the PebbleTec, and one day to acid wash and finish off everything. So six working days and total ten calendar days (weekend + two off days) from beginning to end, and the pool was ready one week before my party. Another friend of mine had had a bad experience with another company, as that company had not washed off the excess plaster properly after applying PebbleTec. As result, his pool ended up streaky/blotchy to the point where the work had to be redone. I was concerned on how this stage would go for me. The day PebbleTec was applied, Gammon showed up with six guys, which is key as you need enough manpower to do this stage quickly before the plaster dries off too much. As I watched them, I saw they clearly knew what they were doing, and end-result was perfect. The Gammon crew always cleaned up before they left each day, which I appreciated. I can recommend Gammon without any hesitation. read more

Gammon pools was referred to me from a longtime friend who had his pool done back in 2008. Donnie and his team are amazing. I have a 30k gallon pool that was in dire need of resurfacing. Donnie came out and provided me a no nonsense quote for both plaster and pebble finishes. We received quotes from other companies but working directly with the owner was a huge plus. The crew showed up on time and completed the work as promised in the timeframe that was promised. I opted to go with the pebble and 2 bags of glass. It looks amazing. I highly recommend this company! read more

It's rare to find a company that surpasses your expectation. Gammon falls into that category. We recently completed a pool remodel with them, new coping, tile, pool surface and reconfiguration of our spa. From day one we were impressed with their team. Ashley was ALWAYS available to answer our many, many questions. Her efficient, professional yet friendly manner is truly impressive. Eric was our project rep, and guided us along the way, helping us decide on our finish materials and to understand the process. We appreciated his many years of experience in this field. This was our first time doing anything like this (the pool was here when we bought this house) so we relied on him heavily for advice. Cesar and Mario did an amazing job on the tile and travertine coping - Cesar is truly an artist. There were a few tricky areas, and he handled them beautifully. We disliked this pool for 26 years, and were extremely careful when choosing our new materials. Everyone was patient with us, offering any and every type of help they could. We were also kept up to date on everything that was planned, when workers would arrive, and what we could expect. Even with day...after day...after day of rain, our project was finished on time. Several people have seen our pool since it has been refinished, and are blown away by how great it looks. The pool is pretty much the first thing we see when we wake up in the morning - it is right outside our bedroom french doors - and we never get tired of looking at it! Thanks Gammon, for making our dream come true!!! read more

Don Gammon and his guys are amazing. We just completed a pool remodel and I couldn't be happier. From start to finish they were great, not one complaint and our pool came out beautiful. We received 4 bids and are so happy we went with Gammon Pools. read more

Excellent experience. Gammon Pools did a fantastic job on the rehab of my pool. Work was done on time and on budget. Contract price was competitive and very reasonable especially considering the quality of the performance and final product. We could not be happier with Gammon Pools and the beautiful work done by its excellent and professional crews from design through start-up. In addition, each work crew: demolition, tile, and pebble coating, took steps to properly protect my decking and surrounds and did a great clean up after they completed their work. A big thank you to each of Gammon's contributing employees and, especially, the owner Don Gammon. read more

From the moment that Gammon Pools arrived, they were professional from start to finish. Obviously, we were hesitant to pull the trigger on such a big job. But, after interviewing several companies, including due diligence with their customers, we are ecstatic to have selected Gammon. The crew arrived on time each day, were considerate of our neighbors by not starting with construction noise before 8:00 am. But, what was most amazing was there were days that they worked at 7:00 am and we didn't even hear them. I would wholeheartedly recommend Gammon. We are excited about our improved pebble tech surface! read more

Gammon pools came highly recommended. I was warned against the gruffness and attitude from others who used them but my early experiences were very positive and I always have a good relationship with contractors. Had a great experience with Eric and a wonderfully helpful conversation with Yvette. Everything then went bizarrely downhill. I planned to use them but significant communication issues with the front office necessitated me to go elsewhere. Couldn't get a schedule date, couldn't finalize the contract. Called and politely explained I was not getting emails and got an attitude. Promises to order and provide material were not met. I get that people have bad days sometimes but in the end, it could not be resolved as it was more important for them to defensively lay blame than fix the problem - which was on their end. I had to consider that if this treatment happened before work started, what will I suffer if there is a problem that needs to be worked out during the job? No bueno and no respect - Just too many red flags for me. read more

Highly disappointed on service levels and communication. Work was just satisfactory. Never saw the owner after the 10 min. he was onsite to measure and quote. Multiple opportunities lost because options not presented. Quoted me $450 for 2 new lights but never heard back until I forced them to install them when work was already in progress, then charged me $650. Stay on top of them! read more

We hadn't resurfaced our pool since we had it built in 1997. We were leery on who to have the work done. We had a few bids but didn't feel comfortable with the contractors, felt like we couldn't trust them or the quality would be bad. It wasn't until after we were checking out yet another contractor using Yelp reviews that we came across someone who had not so good things to say about the one we were checking on. (As well as several other reviews). This particular review had caught our attention, the person raved about Gammon Pools. So we decided to check them out and we were so glad we did. Donnie Gammon (The owner) came out to our home in a couple of days, he was very friendly and you could tell he was very knowledgeable on everything we discussed. After checking out his references and every single Yelp revew and I mean talking with everyone of them, (20 ppl) we were convinced that Gammon was the way to go. Every single person we talked to just raved about Gammon Pools, we checked the BBB,CSLB & other sources to be 100% sure and everything checked out. Donnie was there for us every step of the way, he made us feel confident, gave suggestions, answered every phone call and took care of business 100%. We were told that it would take three weeks to have everything done but with Donnie's outstanding team of workers it was completed in two weeks. They showed up every day and worked very hard, even in the heat. They have awesome skills , are professional and friendly! Our pool is beautiful and we are very, very happy. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND GAMMON POOLS! You don't have to go any further, Gammon Pools is your best bet! THANK YOU SO MUCH DONNIE GAMMON! read more

Gammon pools resurfaced my pool in Oceanside with their stone scape product. They did an excellent job and the pool looks fantastic.

the pool remodel is done and i cannot thank gammon pools enough.  every person who came to our home was pleasant and professional, and the pool looks great.  and we are really pleased with all the choices ashley and eric guided us through. i thought it'd be like replacing a roof -- a necessary expense but no fun and we'd put it off for as long as we could.  but we are really pleased with result and didn't expect to be rewarded with such a dramatic upgrade to our back yard. read more

Gammon Pools was recommended by a friend of mine that works for Zodiac (in the industry). We had already interviewed 3 other companies, but I was sold when the owner himself actually came to bid the work. We needed resurfacing and new tiles. Donny had a formal bid in writing to my email just 30 minutes after leaving my house. It was the most competitive of the bids we received and they had the best time line. Less than a week after deciding to go with Gammon, our pool was under construction. In 4 days, our pool was complete. You read that right... FOUR DAYS! Each crew that showed up did their jobs very efficiently, they were timely, courteous and cleaned up after themselves. Start to finish, this was a very impressive company. I'm so thrilled we gave them the business and highly recommend them to anyone needing to resurface or remodel their pool. Bravo Gammon Pools!!! :-) read more

Please choose Gammon Pools if you are searching for a pool surfacing company!!! Two months after a competing company finished our pool, the plaster on a step cracked and a large section separated from the shotcrete. Donny was hired to resurface our pool by the responsible subcontractor and my initial impression of him was positive. Donny was punctual, knowledgeable and professional. After discussing our project, my wife and I elected to upgrade our coating to pebble-tec which was very fairly priced. Donny's crew arrived on time, were very professional and most importantly provided a great product. Unlike the previous company, Gammon Pools completed the work without making a mess of my front and back yard. My family could not be any happier. Josh and Wendy read more

Honesty, integrity, on time, on budget, quality workmanship....not adjectives you usually hear about a Pool Contractor, but with Gammon Pools, it is 100% accurate! I was impressed with Donny from day one. He said he would have a proposal for me the next day and the next day the proposal was in my email. His price was very competitive with the other bids I had received so I decided to go with Gammon. Ashley in the office was great with the contracts and finalizing tile, coping and pebble tech finish. Once our start date came, there was non stop action with our Pool remodel. Pool was drained, demo was started, the job site was always clean. We wanted to add a baja shelf...no problem...done! Donny said it would be 3 weeks to complete the job and 3 weeks later the job was done! If you are looking to remodel your pool Gammon Pools is the way to go! read more

Gammon Pools did a fantastic job renovating our pool with all new tile and plaster.

I did NOT have a great experience working with Gammon Pools. I am not happy with the results of my pool resurfacing or color. Non-stop harassment for payment. Service and communication have been very poor. I would not recommend Gammon Pools. read more

I would like to commend Gammon Pools for their extremely fast, efficient and professional service.

The Gammon pool service after visiting the pool , he treated us as his own family . He stayed with the job step by step and delivered exactly what i asked for. Meanwhile in the process the communication and the quality of their work was admirable. Thank you Gammon for building our beautiful pool . we are really enjoying our backyard . God bless you and your family and your business. Sincere farrah hassani read more

I was really hoping to like Gammon Pools after reading all the positive comments. I invited Don to submit a bid for a pool resurfacing with separate line items for other projects, including the conversion of an attached "kiddie pool" into a jacuzzi. While I knew this would be pricey, I asked Don to propose a bid for it nonetheless as we are seriously considering this conversion. Upon meeting Don, his attitude seemed to be "no" on everything I asked about. He did warn me that the jacuzzi portion would be pricey, which I said I knew. I waited for a bid and finally had to call him to get a status update. His response, "Just so you know, I'm not doing the jacuzzi." Funny thing is, I've gotten several other bids and they are all happy to do the work and eagerly provided a quote. Ironically, still no bid for the rest of the work either from Gammon. Too bad they don't want the work. Frankly, I'm certain I just removed a major headache by not choosing this vendor. read more

I researched several pool companies for resurfacing my pool. I picked Gammon Pools, because of a recommendation from a co-worker, on-line reviews, and the estimate provided. I am very happy with Gammon Pools. They were on time from start to finish( there was a slight miscommunication on the start date) however the finished product was great. I would definitely recommend Gammon Pools. read more

Gammon Pools completed the remodel of our 1995 pool in Feb 2020. We wanted a contractor that had experience with all aspects of a pool remodel. In addition to resurfacing the pool with a new pollished pebble finish, we had them replace all the old brick coping with Silver Travertine bullnose coping, remove and replace new waterline and above grade tiles, add an additional stairway exit to the opposite end of the pool, replace the lighting, and build a baja shelf and entry step into the west end of the pool. I was also able to coordinate the replacement of the concrete deck around the pool with a contractor of my own choosing and worked with representatives from Gammon to add a gas heater which will extend our swimming season. Its true what other reviewers say about the excellent quality of workmanship and honoring their committment to complete the job to the satisfaction of the homeowner. I would absolutely recommend Gammon Pools on your pool remodel. read more

I shopped all the replaster companies and after doing so, found a perfect fit with Gammon Pools. The owner, Donnie Gammon, is a real positive, can do type of guy. Didn't find this attitude with the 6 other companies I had come out. And I was by no means, an easy customer. Very picky, changed my mind a couple of times, and still found Donnie and his office manager, Ashely, handling this very well. No attitude problems or expression of impatience. Both Ashely and Donnie worked with me to chose waterline tile and step trim tile, an made sure I saw prior pool jobs so I could make an educated decision on what mini pebble finish to go with. One pool finish hit my eye...perfect blue water color and great looking surface color when viewing the shallow parts (spa and baja shelf). The crew demo'd my old pool in only about 6 hours, and the finishing crew came afterwards and got the finish on in perfect form. Again, it's all about customer service...and frankly, none of the other pool companies impressed me either with their initial presentation or their personalities. And that impression was what the other pool job referral ppl had to say about Donnie and his staff/crew as well. One final and very important comment...he was competitively priced to boot. Take it from a pickey, nervous, admittedly high maintenance customer...this project was one of the best experiences I have had over the years working with contractors. read more

Gammon Pools...we HIGHLY recommend them for remodeling and resurfacing your pool. Very hard working, meticulous gentlemen. It took exactly two weeks from the time they started draining to pool to when they started filling it up again (included the 4th of July weekend, otherwise it would've been sooner). Eric Bennett had excellent suggestions and followed the job from start to finish. We had two pools built, one at our previous home, then this one. Both companies were terrible. We were apprehensive to start this project, but with a recommendation from a friend of our daughters, we went with Gammon Pools. Now we want to pass on the recommendation! From Erik, Ashley in the office, to the gentlemen that did the work, they are all AWESOME! Thank you all! read more

Donnie and team did a great job in removing faulty glass tile and replacing it with ceramic tile. Process took a month or so to schedule and a week and a half to complete. We are pleased with the workmanship. This was not a big job and we had several contractors drag their feet on bidding and committing to the job. Donnie gave a prompt quote and once the work started it was completed quickly. We highly recommend Gammon Pools. read more

The Gammon pool team was excellent. They were on time from start to finish. The workers did an amazing job of cleaning up every day before heading home.

AWESOME!!! We are very happy with our remodeled pool. A few reasons why I highly recommend Gammon Pools are, 1. Excellent customer service. Both Yvette and Ashley took a lot of time to walk me through the details of my project. They took the time to answer all my questions and had excellent communication through phone, emails and in person. 2. The project was done on time and on budget! 3. I have zero complaints! What more could you ask for? Our pool just finished filling and it looks amazing. Couldn't be happier. Looking forward to enjoying our pool this summer and for many years. Thanks Gammon Pools! read more

Gammon did a very professional job renovating our pool. The price was reasonable, they started and completed the work very quickly, and did a great job. They answered all the questions in a very friendly manner. Before choosing a contractor I contacted 10 different pool companies. Only half answered, and only 2 ended up as serious contenders. Gammon won because they came closer to giving us a proposal that was what we wanted without trying to sell us extra stuff, and because they could do the work immediately. If there's one complaint I'd have it's that I didn't like the tone of the emails from their billing person. We paid everything exactly on time, showing up in person to give them checks, but we got emails lecturing us on our obligation to pay on time. That would be OK if we were late, but we weren't. read more

Don Gammon and his crew just replastered our 24 year old pool with an exposed colored aggregate mini pebble finish, some tile repair/replacement and applied new mastic.

We were impressed by by their knowledge, expertise, attention to detail and outstanding clean-up after each phase of the project. Gammon Pools exceeded our expectations and we would recommend them to everyone needing this type of pool work. We'd give them 6 stars but Yelp only goes to 5. read more

One of the Best Pool Remodeling and repair businesses around! It literally took me about three years to find a pool company that could do the job the way I wanted it for the right price. A couple of other well-known SD companies came to the house but there was always something wrong with the quote, they didn't show up on time, or at all. Once a guy showed up to give me an estimate driving a really expensive sports car! I don't have to tell you how high his quote was! I found Gammon pools during a Google search and decided to give them a call and get a quote. The staff was courteous and concerned about making my experience with them a good one! After I got their quote I noticed that it was the lowest! I have been an experienced Manger of purchasing for many years so my gut has always told me to go with the middle quote and never the lowest one. However after reviewing their BBB file I threw that idea out the window as their BBB record was spotless (unlike all of the rest of the companies that quoted me, especially the guy's company with the expensive car)! I called them up and made arrangements to start! I had to go out of town for a couple of days during the construction and was apprehensive about people working at the house without me being in town so I rigged a camera to watch the construction and the workers. WOW these guys worked from the time they got there in the morning until quitting time each and every day. Very impressive and appreciated! If you need pool work done get Gammon to do it! I rarely write recommendations about companies that do work for me but in this case I think it is not only earned but required. Thanks again Gammon Pools and all of your friendly staff! read more

Wow! I recently hired Gammon to redo the plaster on my pool. I had them install a pebble finish. They did an awesome job. Everything was done on time. They were very easy to work with.

Bottom line, I can without hesitation highly recommend Gammon Pools. read more
