It's been almost 2 years since Valentino and his crew redid our pool equipment and pool surface. Quality work and competitive price. Valentino made sure any issue was taken care of during installation and after the work was done. I will definitely recommend his crew to come out and do your pool. read more

We contacted many remodelers and re-plaster companies. After our search we decided on Generation Pool Plastering. They are a small family owned business which I liked. Their prices were reasonable, and they did not attempt to up sale unnecessary items. Picking the surface and tile was easy thanks to the samples they had in the show room. They also provide the catalog to see other options as well. The quality of work was satisfactory. We have no complaints. Big thanks to the one guy who spent two days installing 2 new skimmers and trenching and piping about 100 ft of new pipe. That man worked extremely hard and I was impressed he did it by himself. They dont do concrete. So if you're doing concrete, make sure you have good communication between your concrete guy and them. Coordinating the two was probably the worst part of the remodel. Nobody's fault, just need to get both contractors on the same page scheduling wise. If you get dark plaster, it WILL NOT be even. They explain this and make you sign. I honestly like the variation in our darker color. But don't be surprised or upset. It happens and its just cosmetic. I waited a year to do my review and we have had no issues. Would use again, but hopefully not for another 15-20 years! Thanks Valentino and team! read more

We bought a house with an old pool two years ago. The house flippers tried painting the pool to make it look better before filling it and it LOOKED okay at first, but within weeks it was horrible, the paint turned brown around the jets and the vacuum was pulling off the paint in huge chunks. Please everyone, please do NOT paint a pool unless you know what you're doing! We decided to replaster/tile this year and I started trying to find a company. I overheard a lady at the pool store telling someone she replastered a few years back so I asked her who she had used, she said Rodriguez Bros, but they appeared to be out of business. I sent a request out on Yelp and two companies responded. One came out to see the pool and one just did a quote through text. The guy who came out was from Generation but I saw on his shirt that it said Rodriguez Bros - it's the same family, they renamed it Generation because they are on their fourth generation in the business. :) I hired them. I chose a plain Jane white plaster with really basic tiles. They also replaced the old busted up skimmer, installed a handrail because we are aging, and replaced the nonfunctional original light fixture. I love it so much. I may be unreasonably excited about finally having a working light :) It's September so we probably won't be getting in again until next year but that's okay. I'm one of those weird people who genuinely enjoys maintaining a pool so in that way I enjoy it year round. Anyways the whole process went great, everyone was very nice, and really it wasn't even all that exprensive overall. I highly recommend this company. read more

Generation Pool Plastering is the best pool plastering company in Sacramento!! we recently just had our 30 year old pool completely redone by Valentino and is company and they are top notch! The communication with this company is the best I've ever had working with a business . They are quick to respond and are incredibly helpful. Every member of the team are great and make the process very easy. The quality of work they do is impeccable. The tiles were laid beautifully and the plaster is exactly what we wanted. They even put in beautiful turtle and fish tiles for us that make the pool that much more special. They added a Cabo shelf with an umbrella sleeve, it's the perfect addition to our pool! They are priced really fairly and I believe their quality is worth more than they charge!!!! Thank you Valentino, Erma, Greg, Eduardo and the whole Generation Pool team , we love our new pool! read more

When I first moved into my home 8 years ago, the pool plaster had a fair amount of staining and deterioration. I looked into different companies to resurface the pool and felt that Generation Pool Plastering offered great pricing and quality. They did a great job with installing a new quartz finish, step tiles, and LED lights. After 8 years, the pool still looks clean and like new. It's proof that their work is long-lasting as long as you make sure the pool receives its normal maintenance (i.e. chlorine, pH, alkalinity, calcium hardness, etc). read more

Great team. Very polite and courteous. Beautiful replaster job. They take pride in their work and I highly recommend them.

Generation Pool Plastering just recently did our entire redo of our pool plastering . The job came out amazing . They were extremely proffesional, prompt, cleaned up after job. Extremely fair priced, actually lower that several, but because of their reputation of excellence in what they do we picked them. They did our job with over expectations, Irma was very nice and helpful to set up times, dates. The company flow ran great, everyone was on time, they were all very experienced. We have in the past been over promised and under delivered by other companies. This company did the opposite. We are extremely, extremely happy on all levels from start to finish. This is a top notch business! read more

Our dream of owning a pool recently came to fruition and we couldn't have had a better experience working with Val and Erma- Generation Pool Plastering. Communication was easy and efficient. Their level of professionalism, attention to detail, and knowledge and experience in the industry makes them stand out as a company. I felt valued and supported as a customer, every step of the process. Picking out tile and plaster color/finish can be nerve-wrecking and overwhelming but their suggestions helped us narrow down our favorites. We left the showroom feeling good about the selections made. We love the aesthetic of our pool and continuously receive compliments from friends and family. The pool was the last puzzle piece to our backyard transformation into a peaceful and serene haven. Thank you Generation Pool Plastering! read more

We were referred to Generation Pool Plastering in the hopes of remedying a previous sub-standard plaster job by another contractor. First the owners do a great job communicating - it's summer and they are very busy but rarely did an email take more than 24 hours to get a response from Erma (even on weekends) - usually an email came back within a few hours and a text was almost immediate. Valentino's experience is invaluable when picking finishes - he knows the weather impacts in Reno and understands how pool chemicals affect different finishes. My advice - heed HIS advice. His demo and plaster crews are hard working pros. They run a professional process - the foreman communicates proactively, they listened to my wife and I when we had questions, worked with us to address details and left a clean job site. I thought the pricing was reasonable and when I asked for some considerations they were willing to listen and offer solutions where they could. I know there are other options, but this is a 4th generation family-run business who care about what they do and how they do it. I enthusiastically recommend Generation Pool Plastering. read more

If you are looking to have your swimming pool renovated, this company requires 30 + days, I was verbally informed this-after we signed the contract of completion. We signed the contract in April and to start the project second week of May, our project didn't get done until the end of June. The project was supposed to start first week of May, however, we went on vacation! I think it's lack of manpower? Lack of communication and direction! read more

I want to thank Val and his team for the wonderful job on our replaster for our old in-ground pool. The pool is beautiful, the communication was good and each team that came was respectful, knew their job and did a great job! Their price was fair and most importantly, they got the job done in time for our daughter's wedding in the backyard just like they promised. I could not be happier with the result AND they also set up a guy to fill in a five foot circle with concrete. We had a massive tree removed. The concrete matched our aggregate pretty well. I appreciate that he has separate crews come that specialize in their own areas- the demo crew, the electrical, the plaster guys and then the clean-up crew- each group did a great job and were efficient. Don't hesitate to call Val or Erma- they are well priced and do a great job! read more

I recently installed a new in-ground spa. When it came to plastering, I contacted Generation Pool Plastering. They had replastered an old pool at a previous residence many years ago and had done an amazing job. They didn't disappoint this time either. They actually fit me in early due to a cancellation. They came on time, were clean, and professional. The mini-pebble finish they put in looks awesome. I would recommend them to anyone! read more

Man I can't say enough great things about Generation Pool Plastering and the owner Valentino and his entire crew! Very responsive, always answered my calls (and I called a lot lol) Valentino and Erma always answered, and if the rare occasion they didn't answer, they always called me back right away and answered my questions. I don't know why people on here say that the office staff was rude and non responsive, because that is so far from the truth, Erma always responded to me in a very reasonable time frame and was very polite, every time. My wife and I went to there show room to pick out tile, and she was so nice and patient with us, as we were taking forever, and Erma was helpful, kind and patient. I think the people that were saying otherwise in there review, either need to get there head examined, or they are just the people that think the world revolves around them, or that they are the only customer... unreel! Valentino's son came and did our tile and you can tell he has passion for what he does, he took the time to make sure everything was perfect, and it was! Valentino, went above and beyond with my pool, made sure along the way that I was happy with the work and at certain stages he would let me know, now would be the time if you wanted to add anything, I did add a few things and he was more than fair with his pricing, I know because I priced stuff out with several companies, and Valentinos pricing is very competitive, I was blown away! I'll wrap it up with this, his whole team are excellent workers and take pride in what they do, along with so friendly and respectful! You can tell that they all love who they work for, I would sit back and watch them work from time to time, and they all got along, we're happy, laughing while still working hard and getting the job done. To me that speaks volume on Generations and how Valentino operates, that's a huge part in why they have been around for so long, along with there amazing work!!! My pool looks amazing, I am more than excited with how it turned out, thanks Valentino and team for all that you guys did for us!!! Your the only company I will use and recommend to everyone!!! read more

After meeting with and obtaining estimates from four companies - all of which had been recommended by others who had used their services, we decided to contract with Generation Pool Plastering for the remodel of our more than 20-year-old pool. In large part, our decision was based on the fact that Generation offered the same services for substantially less than the other companies we'd contacted, and because they are a family-owned and operated business. We had some communication hiccups, but any concerns we had were promptly addressed by Valentino Sr., and crewmembers responding to those concerns were friendly and courteous. Throughout the remodeling project, the crew was impressively tidy. We went from a white plaster to a Diamond Brite onyx plaster, and were worried about making such a big change. However, we absolutely love it! It looks very much like a tropical lagoon. We also changed the mastic color, and are very glad we did, as it is a much better look for our deck. read more

It's been over 1 year now and my pool and tile still look amazing! I just realized that I never mentioned how kind, down to earth, and knowledgeable the owner was when he came out to give us a quote. I would still highly recommend this company!! Great price, service, time frame, and it's held up beautifully so far. read more

Generation Pools exceeded expectations. Every aspect of the job to refinish our pool was executed flawlessly. Scheduling the work days was simple and days/times were communicated well in advance of the work to be done. Gregory did the tile work. Gregory's passion for tile is evident and his work is top notch. Valentino stopped by on the day the npt mini pebble surface was applied to make sure the job was going as planned. This might be one of the rare family run companies left that does excellent work! It will probably be 20 years before I go thru this process again and generation pools will always get my business. read more

We'll keep referring our co-workers and friends! Thanks! read more

First let me say that my husband & I are not the easiest to impress. He does a lot of work on our house and is a perfectionist. I am an over communicator, therefore communication back & forth with a contractor was one of my top concerns going into a large project. When I say "large" project I mean we needed a 100% overhaul on our pool. I joke that the only thing that didn't get redone was the existing hole - we not only needed new plaster and tile, but also coping and because our existing plumbing needed to also be completely replaced, it meant new pool deck/cement. Having said this, I can say Generation Pool met all our expectations and their communication with us was excellent. They were always on time, stayed on schedule, had a competitive estimate (one of the lowest actually), the workers were all respectful & cleaned up each day when they left, and our pool turned out exactly how we had hoped! We feel confident recommending them to friends & family looking for a pool remodel. So that's my quick recap on 5 stars. If you're interested in the details, read on... We contacted about half a dozen pool plaster businesses to come out to our house for an estimate for our original 1960's pool. We learned through contacting so many pool companies that some could be flakey - either they wouldn't show up, would be late or WE had to chase them down after they came out to get our estimate for the work. When I called Generation Pool and spoke to the owner, Val Sr., I instantly liked him. I could tell his top priority was making sure his customers were 100% satisfied and he was going to be thorough. Because Val Sr. was busy with existing pool jobs & due to my husband's work schedule, Val Jr. came out within a couple days to look at our pool and provide us the estimate for the remodel. First, we were impressed that Val Jr. was not only on time, but 5 minutes early. Doesn't seem like a big deal but with our experience with other contractors, it was. Val Jr. was very personable, took the time to listen to us - our concerns & what we wanted with no rushing us into what he thought we wanted or suggestions on up-selling us on anything. This may seem strange to point out he listened to what we wanted but a few of the other pool companies that had come out tried to talk us into replacing ALL of our pool deck in order to replace our plumbing below and to do it in a way that we wouldn't need coping because we probably wouldn't like the replacement coping. Well, we didn't want to have to replace ALL of our existing pool deck, as it was in good condition and would add on an easy $20k (and let me point out the replacement coping we ended up with is beautiful). Val Jr. suggested we move the plumbing on the other side of the pool so that we only had to replace part of the pool deck - along the deep end & the narrow path on the far side of the pool, which would be further away from line of sight for matching purposes & a smaller patch of concrete for cost purposes. This was the "think outside the box" moment that we never got with the other companies that came out.  Before & after signing the contract, and continuing into the remodel, communication was excellent - if we texted or called with a question, we got prompt replies, sometimes within minutes (certainly not expected) and each week Erma would give us the following week's schedule. Everything went smoothly, a little hiccup may have been when the tile was laid we noticed some were crooked on our step, but no big deal, we let Val know & they sent someone out the next day to fix it and we were short a handful of coping stones originally, but more were ordered and neither seemed to affect the timeline, they just worked around it and got it done! The pool turned out beautiful - we love the diamondbrite medium gray plaster color, the tile, the coping and they got the replacement cement/pool deck to match very closely (many of our friends weren't sure what sections were replaced until we pointed it out.) See pictures for before, during and after. Thanks Val and crew! read more

so when I look for a quote with any other company than this they give a call back and without attitude. when I send an email 10 days ago and you want to call and argue it's been a week put me off immediately. I don't know who the woman was but I had to hang up before scolding her on professionalism. to not be able to call set up an appointment time to do a quote within a week is very unprofessional. as a business owner myself if I had treated any. of my clients the way they treated me I would expect to have no clients soon. I have no interest work with this company and giving them $40,000 for this treatment. As for the response of this review from the owner if you or anyone could have called with intent you would have understood the scope of the project but you didn't. As for I can't appreciate; I own my own company. I have to contact clients in between projects and set time aside every day to set up schedules that work for them and myself 7 days a week. You obviously are too busy to handle any more work. You were not there for the conversation so to mislead others into believing "she was respectful" is laughable. I sent a message on 9/10/2022 it's 9/20/2022 that's 10 days. Don't argue with facts it makes you looks ignorant as an owner. Hope you do better for other customers because I'm not even considering this company after this. read more

My pool plaster was falling off after 18 years of service, a friend was having his pool re-plastered by Generation, I reached out to Val and he came over within a couple of days. I had a vision for what I wanted and Val confirmed what and how they could achieve it, Val gave me an honest estimate, he kept his word for what he said he would provide. Val and Erma with Generation were a pleasure to work with, as a Project Manager in the construction industry, I have a very good understanding of time lines, manpower, processes and cost controls, Val and his crew far exceeded what I was expecting, needless to say, I'm thrilled with the work Generation did on my pool. I made a couple of changes along the way and Val and Erma were very understanding of what I was trying to achieve and didn't try to deter me or gouge me in extra cost, what extra cost there was for the extra work was more than fair. In closing, I would like to thank Val and his crew at Generation pools for the fabulous work they provided me but also encourage anyone lookin for pool remodeling to give Val a shot, I'm sure you won't be disappointed. So let me try this again since my post last week was removed for not being so called "authentic", I have no relationships with anyone working for Generation Pool outside of the work they performed in the last month.

**UPDATE** I reached out to Valentino directly after reading his comments below as my intention was certainly NOT to damage the reputation of this business, which by all accounts does great work on gunite pools and replastering. He returned my call within a couple hours and we were able to clarify some miscommunication that occurred. Since my pool was fully converted to a fiberglass shell, I no longer consider it a "liner" pool, however it does not have concrete/rebar support and would need those things for it to be converted and serviced by this company. Ultimately the owner is looking out for the quality and longevity of the work he does, and the office manager who I spoke with simply misunderstood what I was trying to ask from an uninformed standpoint (possibly using incorrect vocabulary). While they are not able to assist with my particular situation, if I were interested in making the conversion to gunite I would absolutely reach out to them based on how responsive and willing to discuss the situation they have been. 2 stars due to quick response but incredibly unpleasant customer service. I submitted an inquiry online regarding refinishing my fiberglass pool due to some cosmetic discoloration. The gal who called me quickly indicated they would be unable to assist as they do not work on fiberglass pools. OK, no problem, is there anyone in the area who does work on fiberglass pools that you recommend? She stated nobody would go near a fiberglass pool and my only option would be to have a completely new pool installed. A quick (more specific) Google search results in several area pool companies who specialize in fiberglass. The condescension and disdain for my particular pool type was incredibly off putting, hopefully the gal was just having a bad day but I wanted to share my experience. read more
