    Handel turned our dirt backyard into a dream desert oasis. Handel and his crew were efficient and methodical in completing each phase of the construction. His team handles a 15' x 33' foot pool and 7' x 7' spa, a built in bbq, flat work, turf, landscaping, and landscape lighting. His crew knows how to do anything you might need to turn your project into the yard of your dreams. Handel is easy to talk to, and will go out of his way to make sure you are happy, and everything is handled in the most efficient professional way possible. Pool contractors are notorious for saying one thing, then doing another, or gouging you on any changes you make; not Handel. He and his team are so well put together, that little changes here and there are not a big deal for them. It's no small amount of money to put in a pool/spa/turf/landscape/bbq, but Handel made the process a breeze and finished my project in very efficient amount of time. Please see pictures for details.

    Handle was awesome, he took our dirt empty backyard and made it a true oasis. He had us swimming in 2 1/2 months. He sent us pictures and updates regularly and changed things as we requested. He was excellent to work with.

    Handel is known for handling business. No pun intended. I am so happy I went to Handel and not Tessera. I felt the entire time I was dealing with a rep constantly trying to up sell and not giving me a clear price. I met Handle and loved how honest he was and willing to go the extra mile to make my vision come true! I think my country club now has the best pool on the block. His team was amazing, sharp, detailed, and fast! My pool was done in less than 6 weeks and Handel stopped by to check on the project on daily basis. I have never seen someone so on top of things while juggling different pool projects. Thank you for the great quality of work. My fiancé and I can't thank you enough.

    Boring......

    How does this....become THAT???? Handel, that's how. He is amazing. When he told us that it would be done in 8-10 weeks, I thought, ok, but how is that possible? He is a Superman, with a Super Crew! He went above and beyond for us. He tiled the outside of our spa because that was what would make it stand out vs just the stucco that was the original plan. I am in awe of him. When I asked for a built in BBQ, he delivered more than I could have imagined. We wanted very simple and something that wouldn't take away too much of the patio, and it is just perfect! I am literally brought to tears everytime I hope the curtains. Never did I imagine I could own my own little Desert Resort in my own backyard!

    Day 1.  Let's do this !!

    Handel and his team are the BEST!!! From the start I knew we had chosen the right company. I told Handel what we wanted the pool to look like. Within a week we had computer generated photos of our pool. From start to finish the job was fantastic. All the different crew's were on time and cleaned up when the day was done. Which was very important due to I live in a gated community. Handle was available by phone and in person when we had questions during construction. When it was time to pick out tile and pool finish, he met us at the showroom. He gave us his professional opinion on our choices and in the end we are extremely happy. Handel, his brothers and all the crew get 5 stars form me and my family. Really looking forward to summer and all the good times ahead. So if your looking for a swimming pool contractor who is honest, on time, and truly cares about you the customer. Handle is your guy !!!!

    After 13 months the plaster is falling apart.

    After 13 months of spending $15,000 for new pool deck the plaster is crumbling and falling into pool, and the tile is separating from pool. I tried calling several different numbers and the mailbox is full on them all. I had the same problem a year ago when trying to reach them. They need better service communicating, and I see no excuse for pool plaster falling.apart after 13 months.

    We hired Handel because we had a budget and design and he was able to provide everything we requested and suggested improvements within our budget and without changing our design. Something other Pool companies weren't able to provide. Handel's team was amazing, professional and very knowledgeable. Jose his foreman always answered his calls and made sure everything went smoothly. Jose and his team were also very helpful and did an excellent job. Handel and his team were able to bring our vision to reality. I definitely recommend them.

    AMAZING service AMAZING contractor. First we went with another contractor after finding out that our paper work was not turned in to the city of Indio we quickly contacted Handle's pool service and got the ball rolling. We broke ground on November 1st and the pool and back yard was completed December 30. Amazing, professional, and honest everything that was promised and delivered, we were so happy that we had Handles construct our BBQ, and putting green thank you for your great work will definitely recommend you in the future.

    We highly recommend Handel's Pool Service! We were close to finalizing a contract with a very large established company to build a new pool, spa and decking but we realized that we wouldn't get the personal attention that we needed. After doing some research, we were fortunate enough to find Handel's Pool Service right here on Yelp. Handel personally answered his phone on New Years Day (which in itself was remarkable) and within 2 weeks he already started on the pool. Handel took care of every detail from design to completion with professionalism and thoroughness. The end result was a spectacular pool and spa that completely transformed our home into a desert oasis. Handel is a man of his word that ensures his clients are completely satisfied. We are happy to provide a reference should anyone have any questions. Thank you so much Handel for all of your hard work and attention to detail, we truly appreciate it!

    I shopped around and did some research online to find the most reputable builder and I found Handel's Pool. I'm so happy I did The employees were professional, knowledgeable and meticulous. The team kept to the quoted construction timeline. In fact, they completed work within three months! The end product surpassed my expectations. Handle's Pool does quality, beautiful work. I would refer them to any friend who was looking to put in a new pool or spa. The quality is a direct reflection of the owner, who was honest, accessible and friendly.

    We chose Handel's Pool Service based upon the 5-star YELP rating.  We were NOT disappointed.  Handel's Pool finished work ahead of schedule.  Handel's Pool did exactly what they said they would do.  Handel Caballero is very professional.  His price was very competitive.  We would definitely recommend him to friends and use his services again.  We had the pool resurfaced with pebble stone and shallowed the deep end.  We also had two new LED lights installed.  Handel's Pool carefully dug under the concrete deck to install the wiring for the new lights.  His team did a great job and cleaned up daily.  Handel worked with us very closely and patiently to select a color and a texture.  We are very satisfied.  Thanks Handel for a job well done!

I was quite impressed with the Yelp reviews of Melo's Pools. I sent a quote request via Yelp and had a response within 10 minutes! Appointment was set for five days later. Albert and Pablo arrived to my home on time. They measured, took pictures and assessed the pool along with the pool pump system. We discussed ideas, timelines, finance options and they left me with a book that contained sample ideas. The following week I met both of them at their showroom to look at the actual tiles and find a match for the pebble. Albert and Pablo were great at making suggestions and giving me space without any pressures of making a decision, signing a contract, etc. A couple weeks later I signed contract and a demo date was set. The crew was on time the first day, and that stayed true until end of project. To no surprise there was a leak detected after opening up the plaster. Mauricio, the project manager, brought it to my attention immediately. He showed me the issue, explained what needed to be done, had a plan ready to go and with my sign off they had the issue fixed expeditiously and the project was kept on track. As a matter of fact, the project was completed a week earlier! Even my neighbors commented how quickly they worked and how great the pool turned out. From Day 1 to the end, the entire crew was respectful. Mauricio kept me updated on the progress of the project. Even after the project, Pablo and Mauricio came back (each separately) to ensure all was good. As I explained to them both, the tile is even more beautiful in the daylight and the colored grout was a perfect match! Worth every penny. Customer service is above and beyond at Melo's. Working with Melo's was effortless. Thanks to Melo's, I love my pool again. Thank you, Albert, Pablo, Mauricio, Art and crew!
