Owning a vacation rental property, I truly have nightmares about my pool heating or pool system going down because it has happened many times. Previously, fixes were not only expensive, but took a long time (parts took days/weeks) which really impacted my guests and therefore me. My pool heater just went down, and within a couple hours, Rolando had diagnosed the problem, quoted me, purchased the part, and fixed the problem. And his quote was beyond reasonable. He is the most efficient person out there, and he even responded to all of my texts and updated me throughout. He just recently built my friend's pool, and he works so quickly and efficiently with high-quality work, that this is a no-brainer. Don't even consider anyone else because it won't be worth your time. Rolando is a truly honest, hard-working, and trustworthy business man, and I'm so thankful to have him on my team.

My sister lived out of town so I worked with Graham and Gregory for many days just in the planning stage because my sister has a very large lot somewhat pie shaped and hard to figure out. She did not want a pool just two separate water features. Gregory was very patient with the plans and plant selection. We even met him at their nursery to pick out all the trees and plants!

Living in Palm Springs, pool maintenance is a year-round commitment, and Ethan makes it effortless. He's dependable, knowledgeable, and takes great pride in his work. Our pool is always crystal clear, clean, and ready to enjoy. Honestly, I can't imagine what condition our pool would be in without Ethan. It would quickly become our responsibility to maintain, and with the Palm Springs climate, that's not something we have the time or patience to manage ourselves. If you're looking for a reliable pool service, I highly recommend Paradise Pools. Ethan has given us complete peace of mind, and we're grateful for the exceptional care he provides week after week.

I switched and after a year with this new company I can say this is not normal. They overcharged for everything. They destroyed plants breaking branches, lawn - pouring pool water on it (still can't grow back) and when the pump broke they said they'd maintain the water while we waited for repair. They not only didn't maintain it but I had to drain it 3 times in 2 months because they could even get the water balanced from scratch. They were also dishonest on occasion about repair and showing up. Nice people but not acceptable service. I caution anyone from working with these guys. It's expensive and the damage is even more expensive.

My husband and I recently decided to remodel our pool, which was 12 years old and ready for a…read morerefresh. Before moving forward, we obtained three bids, including one from Melo's Pools and two other pool companies. While Melo's quote came in between the other two, we felt confident they would work closely with us to create our dream pool. Their detailed project timeline and professionalism gave us confidence from the start. We had already selected a glass waterline tile and needed expert guidance in choosing a pool finish that would be both beautiful and durable for years to come. Our Project Manager, Joaquin, recommended that we visit the NPT showroom in Palm Desert to explore our options. Following his expert advice, we selected a Stonescapes Mini Pebble finish in an aqua-blue color that perfectly complemented our tile choice. Throughout the demolition and remodeling process, Joaquin was always available to answer questions and provide guidance. His professionalism, confidence, and attention to detail helped ease any concerns and reassured us that our project was in capable hands. The day before demolition, Gabriel from the Melo's team arrived to drain the pool. The following morning, another crew arrived promptly at 7:00 a.m. to remove the old plaster finish and ceramic tile. That same week, Melo's tile crew installed our beautiful new glass tile and worked with us to create custom accents on the spa seating area, spa steps, and pool entry steps. Once the tile work was completed, another crew arrived as scheduled to apply the new Stonescapes Mini Pebble finish. After the finish was installed and the pool was refilled, Carlos from Melo's took over the startup and curing process. For the next six weeks, Carlos visited two to three times per week to ensure the new finish cured properly and that the water chemistry remained perfectly balanced. Carlos's professionalism, friendliness, thoroughness, and expertise in pool chemistry were truly impressive. He not only maintained the pool meticulously but also took the time to teach us how to properly care for and adjust the water once the startup period was complete. Throughout the entire renovation, Joaquin and the Melo's team maintained regular communication, ensuring that we were informed every step of the way. Every member of the team was professional, courteous, and genuinely focused on delivering an exceptional customer experience. Our newly renovated pool was delivered in perfect working order, and the results are absolutely stunning. We could not be happier with the finished product or our experience working with Melo's Pools. We highly recommend Albert Melo, Joaquin, Carlos, and the entire Melo's Pools team. We wouldn't trust any other company with our pool needs.

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!

Brady, their salesperson, was a few minutes early, courteous, friendly, and easy to talk to about our concerns. He produced the proposal within 72 hours (on May 4th, we signed the contract). Their proposal was professional and not a single-page document like some of them had. I want a proposal that lists the details and warranty information. Al, the owner, scheduled the project on a Monday (May 8th) and our pool was done by Sunday with water. I can't say enough good things about the crew and AL! They were professional and answered all my questions. Sunkist pools know what they are doing. We got to know them since they were on site working almost every day until the plastering company arrived on Friday. The tile work was exceptional! The tile man even made some design recommendations, which we love. We are happy with our decision to use Sunkist Pools and highly recommend them for your pool remodeling.

My experience with Sunkist Pools was extremely disappointing and ultimately resulted in litigation…read morethat ended with a judgment in my favor. The problems went far beyond a simple disagreement over the finished product. In my experience, the project was plagued by missed deadlines, repeated delays, days when workers were supposed to show up but did not, poor workmanship, and an unwillingness to correct work that I believed was clearly unacceptable. ### A 60-Day Project Took Approximately Five Months I was told the project would take approximately 60 days. Instead, it ultimately took about five months to complete. Throughout that period, there were missed deadlines and occasions when I was told work would be performed on a particular day, only for no one to show up. The repeated delays and uncertainty made an already significant construction project much more frustrating than it needed to be. ### Workmanship Issues I also had serious concerns about the quality of the finished work. One of the most significant problems involved a masonry wall. In my opinion, the workmanship was unacceptable. Among the issues I observed were uneven grout lines, misaligned masonry, almost every block was damaged, the wall was not plumb, and a portion of the wall appearing to sit partially off its foundation. Rather than satisfactorily addressing my concerns and making the work right, I felt I was repeatedly expected to accept workmanship that I considered substandard. I had similar concerns about tile work. When I pointed out what I considered shoddy workmanship, Al Braun's response to me was: "That's the way we do it in the desert." That response summarized much of my frustration with the project. I wasn't asking for perfection; I expected the work I paid for to be performed professionally and for legitimate workmanship concerns to be corrected. ### Demands for More Money The payment issues were equally concerning. Despite the fact that I had already paid Sunkist Pools for work that remained incomplete, Al Braun threatened to stop all work on my project unless I paid additional money in advance. I found it particularly troubling to be pressured for additional advance payments while work I had already paid for remained unfinished and I was still raising concerns about the quality of the work. ### Equipment I Had Already Paid For I paid over $10,000 in advance for pool equipment. Several weeks later, it had still not been delivered. Despite Sunkist already having my money for that equipment, when I questioned when my equipment would actually be delivered, Al Braun told me that he decides when my equipment gets delivered. As a customer who had paid for the equipment weeks earlier, I found that attitude and response unacceptable. ### The Dispute Ended Up in Court The dispute ultimately resulted in court proceedings, **Case No. CVPS2505486**. The court entered judgment in my favor, awarded me attorney's fees, and the mechanic's lien against my property was removed. Prospective customers do not have to rely solely on my description of the legal dispute. I encourage anyone considering Sunkist Pools to look up Case No. CVPS2505486 and review the public court record for themselves. ### My Experience I hired Sunkist Pools expecting a professionally managed construction project that would take approximately 60 days. Instead, my experience involved a project that stretched to roughly five months, missed deadlines, no-shows, workmanship I considered unacceptable, resistance to correcting that workmanship, demands for additional advance payments while previously paid work remained unfinished, disputes over delivery of equipment I had already paid for, a mechanic's lien, and ultimately litigation. Based on my experience, I would not hire Sunkist Pools again. If you are considering this company, I recommend documenting everything, getting all schedules and promises in writing, carefully monitoring payment requests against the work actually completed, inspecting the workmanship closely, and researching the public court record before signing a contract.
