We have been a customer of Hammerhead Pools since our pool was installed in 2021. Working with Mike & Chandler has been great. We worked with Mike during the construction portion, then transferred over to Chandler for all service issues. Our Salt Chlorinator started to malfunction just outside of our warranty. Chandler scheduled a service call the same week and was able to talk with the manufacturer to have our salt chlorinator replaced fairly quickly once the part was available. Any service issues or questions that come up, Chandler is quick to respond. Chandler also follow ups after the service was completed to verify the work was completed and is working properly. read more

Hammerhead Pools has been servicing our pool for a few years. Today Carlos cleaned our pool filters. We asked him to switch to a different area due to lack of drainage where he was. He was very accommodating and also did a great job cleaning up at the first location when he finished. We appreciate the great job and his attention to all details. The filters look great! read more

We've had three service requests since our pool was installed in May, 2024. All requests were responded to very timely. The first request was a faulty valve actuator and was replaced as soon as the part was received (it was on backorder). The second request took a bit of time to setup, but I was still very happy with the service. The latest request was the best response yet. We had a power outage (we live Cool) and somehow our spa no longer functioned. Chandler responded to my request within 24 hours to setup a visit for the following week. However, he called me a couple days before the service call to try a fix through the Intellicenter App. SUCCESS! What I value most about the Hammerhead Pools service was that Chandler had my spa issue on his mind over the weekend and Monday, which tells me he/they value their customers. Thank you Hammerhead Pools! I love my pool and spa! read more

OK, so Hammer Head Pools built my pool approximately 10 years ago. Mike the owner is a great guy and really knows pools inside and out. From building new to servicing, etc. Over the last 10 years we've had some ups and downs on the service side of things, but the new service manager Chandler is going to be a great asset to the service department for sure. I also own a Plumbing, Heating And Air company and really appreciate great customer service when I receive it! Chandler has been the best Customer Service I've seen from Hammerhead in the service department and I would imagine I'm not the only Hammerhead customer that will appreciate him. His follow up has been great. When he says he's going to do something he does it. He checks in after it's done to make sure that his team is doing a good job and if I need anything else taken care of. Keep up the good work and I'm so thankful that you joined the Hammerhead team. You were definitely needed. read more

My hot tub heater stopped working so I called the office to schedule the repair. I spoke with Chandler and he had a technician scheduled within 24 hours (despite that it was just after the holidays). The repair was quick and very affordable! Chandler provided excellent customer service, attention to detail and communication throughout the process. So pleased and highly recommended Hammerhead Pools! read more

I've been using this company for over 5 years and they've been consistently professional and reliable. They truly care about their customers and always do a very detailed job--much better than other pool companies I've used in the past. I'm very grateful for everything they've done for my pool and highly recommend them. read more

We had several quotes in the area for new pool construction. Hamemrhead was the most professional and efficient. A friend of mine recommended Hamemrhead and I am so grateful. I was very pregnant and wanted a pool done quickly after almost two years of shopping. We started a contract with another company and at the very end before signing, were told we had over 23 digs ahead of us, which put our completion date over a year out! I contacted Mike with Hammerhead and told him our situation. We had our design and quote drawn up that weekend! Construction started within weeks and completion within a few months. Before I had my baby. I was even able to enjoy my pool at the tail end of my pregnancy. Mike was great with communication, easy to talk to, and very practical. We were even able to make a few small changes during the process with no hassle. Recommended Hammerhead to a friend and they have also started a project after several other quotes. Highly recommend! read more

Four years ago we decided to shop for a pool contractor. After talking to several contractors who we weren't comfortable with, a friend recommended Mike at Hammerhead Pools. Mike listened to our requests and built the pool exactly to our specifications. The pool and decking are beautiful and he turned our backyard into a beautiful oasis. Hammerhead has been servicing our pool ever since. Jeff now maintains our pool weekly. Our two dogs can't wait to see him. I highly recommend Hammerhead Pools for both construction and pool maintenance. Carl R. Sacramento read more

Hired these guys two months ago. Absolute disaster. Project manager was clueless. New equipment they put in doesn't work right. There is a leak in the plumbing that has been going for 2 months now; they're tried and failed to fix it 3 times. Every time I call the owner, Mike, he pushes me to someone else. Who also can't answer any questions. I'm going to have to hire someone else now to fix their disaster. Update: The ignition on the heater went out. Brand new unit they installed. Absolute disaster. Update: Hired another company and they fixed the leak in 30 mins. Been fine for 2 weeks now. read more

In November 2022, I signed a contract with Hammerhead Pools for the construction of a new swimming pool and spa. In March 2023, I paid Michael Marier from Hammerhead Pools $15,000 in order to terminate the contract as part of a settlement agreement. I then filed a complaint against Hammerhead Pools with the Contractors State License Board (CSLB). The outcome of their investigation was that "...the involved contractor was responsible for one or more possible violations of the California Business and Professions Code", as shown in the letter below. I would not recommend using Hammerhead Pools for anything. read more

Our backyard project was the last project to complete our forever home. We interviewed 4 different pool companies for this project. We did a TON of research on what things cost, the invisible mark ups that exist in the pool industry and came up with a budget that we could afford. Mike was the only one that worked with us and broke everything down. NPT is the tile company that services pretty much all pool contractors in the area and every tile, rock, hardscape all looked the same. We didn't want the same look every other pool had. Mike took time to understand the "look" we were going for and allowed us to find our own tile through Modern Tile. Through each stage of the project, Mike explained to my husband the process and was patient with him as he likes to watch and learn. Mike's subs are some of the best in the area. They were on time, they are definitely passionate about the work they did and it showed. They cleaned up their area before the end of each day. I would pop out from time to time to just go over aesthetic questions and they were open to feedback. With Mike being so busy and so hands on on all his projects the only suggestion I would give is for him to get a project manager that can field additional questions, follow up non-emergency, random question calls and deal with the daily minutiae that clients like me have. Hammerhead pools does quality work and my husband and I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a pool contractor. read more

We had Hammerhead Pools remodel our 30 year old swimming pool. They re-plumbed the entire pool, added a Baja Shelf, redid the waterfall, updated our pool equipment, and resurfaced with mini pebble.

When I moved to Folsom a year ago, I knew I wanted a pool. I couldn't find a house I liked that had one, so had to have one put in. I contacted three different companies, that came out and bid on my project, and after lots of research, ended up choosing Hammerhead. I worked with Ryan, and he came up with a great design that accommodated all my requirements and fit in my small space. They not only built the pool, they were able to save my turf and re-install it, put up a beautiful patio cover, and provide additional landscaping. Ryan worked with me throughout the project to be sure I was happy, and was very responsive any time I contacted him--and the project cost exactly what was quoted, except for one upgrade that I requested. Couldn't be happier with the result, and they are now providing my weekly service as well. read more

The owner Mike started with us by advertising their company as Pentair experts, supposedly fixing our Pentair system (Intellichlor, lights etc) in return we will give the monthly service of our pool to them. After a year and thousand of text messages and calls and visits, our pool gotten worse. The salt water started to smell chlorine and the lights that he promised he'll fixed has gotten worse. ) He started blaming the contractor / builder of our pool(El Dorado Custom Pools.) After almost a year of all these frustrations we decided we could no longer allow them to get in out property, he decided to file a lawsuit against us for not paying their lousy service. We are fighting back, just for and for those of you who had the same experience, please PM me because we are about to turn this into a Class Action Lawsuit. We need to put a STOP on these P.S. If more than 1 reviewer claims the same thing about him, You better believe it. The fact is, he try to act like a victim here and he try to twist the whole story. While thousands are calling us heroes nowadays, he calls us Fraudulent. He took advantage of people like us that are so busy. read more

Wish I could say something good, but I'll share my experience (or lack there of so far.) Called the company about 3 weeks ago reference making some minor repairs to my water features. Spoke to the service manager named Justin, who stated they could definitely assist with my need. He stated the owner Mike services the Rocklin area and would call me right back to get me on the schedule. Well, I didn't get a call back that day or the next. I called Justin the following week and he apologized for not getting back. I thought well at least he apologized and he stated he would call Mike now and give me a time for him to come look at my pool. I get a call back stating Mike is in the area and will stop by my place around 2pm. Then a time frame of 1:30 and 3. I really have been wanting to get my pool repaired and make it a priority to be home to meet with mike. Changed my days schedule and waited around the house. I get a call from Mike at about 2 pm saying he is busy and can't make our appointment. I try my best to explain my pool issue and he tells me that they are booked up for about a month or two out for jobs, but he could get someone they work with to help me. I asked if I could send some photos that he can provide to those people to get it fixed. He says sure and says this was his cell phone. I give some photos and I don't hear back. I texted him to confirm response... No answer. I wait two days and no call back or follow up. I then call his phone twice, one time I leave a message with my contact Info twice. Apparently, blown off and or not wanting work because here I sit with a broken pool. I honestly hate leaving bad reviews, but super unprofessional. Would love to amend this and have my experience changed. read more

They have been great! I was hesitant at first bc they weren't a big name but Mike has made the process easy and stress free. Even with the rain it has taken a little over 8 weeks and will be done in a few days just in time for our big party with friends and family can't wait to enjoy it with them. Looks amazing! Mike has been awesome to work with. I have many friends want to get quotes now after seeing how fast and awesome they have been. Will post pics early next week when they are done it looks amazing!!! read more

From the beginning of the process through completion and maintenance, Mike has been easy to communicate with. We couldn't be happier with the pool and maintenance. Mike was helpful in figuring out the positioning of the pool with our property. He also helped us come up with the perfect size for the sport court and spa. We appreciated his input on the pebble fina color, the color is beautiful. read more

I cannot speak highly enough of this company. We have had them tend to our pools on numerous multi family properties without any issues. Mike & his team are communicative and always answer any questions we may have. Their team always makes sure we are in full compliance with code and have educated myself and my team on things the county doesn't provide clear information on. They're always prompt and if for any reason a scheduled service must change, they communicate it ahead of time. After trying out numerous companies, some very disgruntled and matter of fact or even price gauging, Hammerhead Pools were suggested to us and we haven't looked back. Their prices are more than fair and their work ethic makes it extremely easy to work with them. Overall, a great company & team. read more

I had three estimates for a new pool and felt most comfortable with Hammerhead Pools. Mike came out talked with me, took measurements and work with me on the design and water features. We love his staff they are very respectful and he met all timelines to get this project completed. Also, Mike was always in good communication with me and still is. We have Hammerhead doing our weekly our pool service and Jerry is assigned to us and he is very friendly and explains all about the chemicals. We are very happy with our whole experience and love love love our pool! read more

Had high hopes but got blown off by this place. I would have appreciated honesty over being left without hearing anything back especially since Mike came to our house to give us a quote. Sure hope this isn't how they build their pools read more

We had a certain pool equipment replaced with Hammerhead. Mike is a good salesman and knows his stuff, he communicates fast and timely manner. The tech came on time and did a good job. But watch for the prices they quote for equipment, it is much more expensive than what you would find elsewhere because of their extremely high markups. When asked about this, I was given a lecture on free market and capitalism. Yeah, no kidding. Good tech and know how, but not a great interaction. I felt belittled by Mike's aggressive attitude and behavior. It is like he doesnt care for customers to return with more business. UPDATE: I am not his employee and never was. I was a customer and here is proof of what kind of person Mike is. Here is his messages to me in response to this review "Good morning Kasey, In our earnest efforts to get in touch with you to discuss the situation you have provided we have found that A. We have no customer in our database with your information B. You have not returned any response from us trying to get in touch with you. We are now proceeding forward and allowing the sheriff's department to track your information so we can file a defamation lawsuit against you. Just so you are aware it is illegal to post Fradulent information in order to damage the reputation of a business. In this situation the court will rule how many days the post has been online and estimate the damage caused by dollar amount. With this information turned over Yelp can tract the IP address and break down your information from their." BTW, I will be reporting your threat to Yelp. And I dont sit on Yelp all day to respond to your threats. This is the same attitude he had lecturing me on free market economy. read more

I've been an in ground pool owner for 7 years now and have gone through 5 different pool maintenance companies. Mike and hit team at Hammerhead Pools is by far the best we've had. Honest, responsive, knowledgeable, ethical are just some of the many superlatives I could use to describe their work. Mike saved us money early by realizing that none of the previous companies adjusted the RPMs on the filter. This, in essence ran hundreds of dollars a year needlessly down the drain and over worked the motor. We've had the pleasure of being serviced by Aaron, Greg and Carlos. Each of them have gone out of their way to find quick resolutions to problems, stayed until the job was complete and even came on their off time, on holiday weekends, to resolve issues and get us swimming again that day. As I have with my friends, I will always HIGHLY recommend them for pool building, service or repair. read more

Called multiple times to get quotes. Never shows up. When I called when he was late I had to remind him who I was. On the second missed appointment with no call I chose not to call him or use his business. read more

Mike and his team built our pool, it looks amazing even after two years. They were incredibly fast and the pumps and equipment work flawlessly. I wanted everything to be on WIFI, not a problem for them. One of my friends broke a spillway, they fixed it to perfection. They are busy, but seem to work out the time for you. I highly recommend! read more

I have to say i am extremely happy with Hammerhead Pools. The owner Mike and his staff are awesome to work with. When a problem arises they get the job done with no delays. I've dealt with several pool maintenance companies and Hammerhead Pool is the best i've come across. Good job to Mike and his staff!!! read more

Contacted these guys through Yelp this morning about a pump not working and they had a guy at my place same day! He was able to diagnose and fix my problem easily! Took him about 30 minutes. Thought I was going to need a new pump but turns out it was just a priming problem. Definitely going to recommend them to my neighbors and friends. 100% felt like they were honest and know what there doing. read more

From the beginning Mike, the owner, responded very quickly with a reasonable quote. He is very knowledgeable and responsive and he truly understands the meaning of great customer service. My pool build started on October 1st and was completed the second week of November! I know nothing about pools and asked many questions during the building process. Mike was very patient and always thoroughly answered my questions. All of his staff were great and very respectful. I highly recommend Hammerhead Pools for anyone interested in a new build! My family is very happy and can't wait until it gets warmer to start swimming! read more

I am posting a review regarding Hammerhead Pools Maintenance Service. My new swim/spa was completed in March of 2017. I hired Mike to do the top level service for my pool, pool water, and pool equipment. I had three different maintenance persons during one year. The constant change was not helpful in building a relationship with the person taking care of my huge property investment. I have researched and learned lots during the past four months regarding salt/chlorine pools. In these pools, the salt is converted to chlorine by the intellichlor. This action with the salt causes corrosion ten times faster than just chlorine. Therefore, maintenance must be analytical and meticulous. The conversion of salt to chlorine can make the pH level seem too high and when it reaches the pool water it may lower. The weekly testing of pool water is very important to rule out any possible problems. The attention to the intellichlor output is also valuable information. My intellichlor blinked high salt content all of summer 2017 and all of winter 2017-2018. My intellichlor output was set to a high percentage and I ended up with a pool of chlorine and chemicals. Maintenance told me that the intellichlor was inaccurate. My builder, Advanced Pools, said do not worry about it. It was never reported to Pentair under my three year warranty. The ending result as of April 2018 was a soup of green chemicals in my pool, damaged hydramatic cover due to the high chemical levels, and corrosion to all of my Pentair pool equipment. All of this could have been avoided if I had been receiving experienced service and if my filter cartridges had been cleaned as stated, if my intellichlor had been monitored, if the percentage output of salt had been adjusted, if my service schedules had been adjusted after the first shock and balance of my water. I knew nothing about the equipment and paid for that service. Now I know more than I ever wanted to know. I did not receive competent experienced service from Hammerhead Pools. Mike never came out to make sure that I was receiving all my paid services and that all was in good shape. He also is to monitor the maintenance reports at all times. This was not done. If I built a pool again? I would build a chlorine pool. I would have a written maintenance contract versus oral, and I would hire one person/company to maintain my pool, pool water, and equipment. I would hire a person only with years of experience. I now have huge property damage and if fixed, I must disclose everything when I sell my home. So not only is my property presently damaged, it is damaged for a future sale. I would not recommend Hammerhead Pools for maintenance. Yelp is a public forum for reviews whether positive or negative. read more

Excellent customer service!! Very knowledgeable. Would highly recommend for any pool and hot tub service, whether it is cleaning service or building a new pool. So thankful that they were able to come and make it possible to use our hot tub again!!!! read more

I used Hammerhead pools for over a year when my last company sold his business and moved away. The last part of my year while my neighbors switched due to bad service I said "well I haven't experienced it" so I stuck around. It was just a matter of time with me though. I went several weeks in the winter with a dirty pool however I didn't complain because we weren't using it. Then as Spring hit and I actually started to pay attention to my pool and spa more I would reply to my weekly pool reports that are emailed asking questions and getting no reply. I also would send text messages asking why my spa continued to look like a swamp and if they had ordered the filter cartridge that they said it needed on the weekly report.... still no reply. Never once did the pool man skim the pool or spa and I continued to have the same leaves in the bottom of the pool that I had in the winter. In one day with a new pool guy... My spa cleared up, my pool is clean and clear because he said it was under chlorinated and my spa had zero chlorine at all which is why it looked like a swamp on top of needing a new filter. I am very dissatisfied with Hammerhead pools. read more
