They were incredibly helpful, responsive, and guided us through every step. The pool turned out better than we imagined, and we absolutely love it. We had an automatic cover installed and it was definitely worth the investment. It has been a great addition and gives us extra peace of mind and convenience. Also, they fit the equipment in a tight space, when other builders wanted a huge amount of space dedicated to the equipment (worth it if you live on a smaller lot) Catalina Pools built us a quality pool and the team truly cares about their customers. Thank you for helping us create a backyard we will enjoy for years to come!

I have been trying to troubleshoot a leak in our pool for several months on my own. I knew that the…read moreaverage price for leak detection runs $500 and I was trying to narrow down the leak myself in the hopes of avoiding that high fee. After a couple of months I was able to isolate the problem to the skimmer but knew that was only as far as I could take it so it was time to call in the experts. Finding companies that do this type of work in San Diego is virtually impossible. One company wanted to go straight to replacing the skimmer ($1600-1800 estimate). Another wanted to go straight to a "throat foam injection $500" and then replace with new skimmer if that procedure didn't work. All my online research indicated that those were last resorts so I kept up with my calls, none of whom returned them! Then I got hold of Joe at Griffith Pools, whose DBA is Pacific Oasis Pools...one and the same. Since I had isolated the problem to the skimmer he agreed to reduce his troubleshooting rate considerably. Once eyes were on target he was able to quickly ascertain that the leak was in the equalization side of the plumbing and that the fix was not only easy but cheap! I was thrilled. Joe was extremely professional and knowledgeable about all the pool equipment. I now have a go to guy if any other pool problems arise (fingers crossed this won't happen).

Not only did they do a great job on re-surfacing my pool, but they did some beautiful tile work as well and added a nice waterfall feature leading from my spa to my pool and I couldn't be happier!

Several of my neighbors have been over and are super impressed and will be reaching out to them as well! Can't wait to see what LINO does for them too!

Our pool pump was fitted with a rebuilt motor shortly after purchase eleven years ago. In the last…read morefew months the motor began making more and more noise; it was clear that the motor would need replacement soon. Our electric bill was increasing each month as well. A search of the Internet made the case for a variable speed/variable flow pool pump, so we went to Yelp.com to find a highly recommended pool professional. After we got three proposals from high rated Yelp pool pros, I called one more - Freestyle Pools - and was introduced to Nick. Nick completely explained our options and provided us with a written proposal within minutes. We liked his prices and called him to see when he could install. He said he had the pump in stock and could install it that afternoon and haul away the old equipment. A lot of firms send a tech; I especially liked it that Nick would do the work himself. As promised, Nick arrived on time and surveyed the pool equipment. I suspected that there might be a need to upgrade more than the pump. The cramped way our pool equipment had been arranged left no room to install the new pump securely (see the BEFORE PICTURES with pool piping on a cinder block and the motor hanging off the slab). Nick would need to relocate the pool filter to the rear of the slab for the pump to line up on the concrete, and after some discussion I asked about a new one. Nick said if I bought a pump, filter and chlorine generator, Pentair would extend their warranty for all three pieces for (3) years. It made sense. Nick arrived at our home at 2:15PM, and - not counting a quick trip for parts - worked continuously until 7:30PM. If you look at the AFTER pictures, you'll see that Nick truly is an artist! He managed to line up the new pump on the concrete, facilitated by a new filter taking up less space to the rear, and the new configuration works like a champ, doesn't leak a drop, and is very quiet. I like watching someone work who know what he is doing, and Nick certainly knows pool equipment and operations! We were so impressed by Freestyle Pools that we even decided to try Freestyle as our weekly pool maintenance choice, leaving a pool service we have been using for a number of years! We are not folks given to whimsical changes, but our change was demanded by Nick's outstanding efforts to go "above and beyond" to satisfy our pool needs. We certainly are proud to recommend Freestyle!!

First, I read two (2) reviews from people who stated they weren't contacted by Adrian after an…read moreinitial contact or a visit from one of his staff. In fact, one person stated "worse company" ever. So, let me tell you about my experience. I contacted the owner, Adrian Donnelly, to discuss my pool condition. He asked me to send him photos. I did. Two (2) days later, he responded with a text. I responded that I had brushed the algae and had the pool relatively clean. I needed service for five (5) weeks. It's been over three (3) days and I haven't heard from him. My experience is he engages and then never follows up. I provided him with my dates, but he never contacted me to arrange service. Frankly, I don't know how this guy runs competent business. Based on everything I've experienced, he demonstrates poor business practices. I would strongly suggest seeking pool services from another provider. I'm not wasting anymore time dealing with him and his so-called business. I'm going with East Mountain Pool Service in El Cajon. They are responsive, do good work and have very competitive pricing. I would suggest contacting them for your pool service needs.
