One of the things that truly stands out is how quickly he handles emergencies, even outside of the regular service schedule. Recently, I had an urgent issue with my pool, and Justin immediately arranged for one of his service technicians to come out. The technician arrived at my house in less than 30 minutes and resolved the problem quickly and efficiently. That level of responsiveness and customer service is very rare these days. If you are looking for a pool company that genuinely cares about its customers and takes problems seriously, I highly recommend Justin and his team.

Justin did an incredible job bringing our pool back to life. When we first contacted him, the pool…read morewas green, dirty, and in rough shape. We needed it cleaned up quickly so we could take photos for an appraisal, and he exceeded our expectations. To make things even more challenging, our pool equipment wasn't working at all. Despite that, Justin worked tirelessly to get the water as clear as possible. Within just four days, the pool went from looking neglected to looking crystal clear and nearly brand new. Justin was professional, responsive, and clearly takes pride in his work. And it was affordable!!! We were amazed by the transformation and couldn't be happier with the results. Highly recommend LA Island Pool Care to anyone looking for honest, reliable pool service. I wish we had a pool now so we can utilize his service again!

I recently switched to Castro Pool after dealing with a previous pool service that completely…read moredropped the ball. My old pool guy wasn't maintaining the pool properly, and it got to a point where it was no longer usable. Castro Pool came in and completely turned things around. They took the time to properly assess the condition, reset the system, and get everything back on track. Within a short time, the pool went from looking rough to being in amazing, crystal-clear condition again. What really stood out was their professionalism, consistency, and attention to detail. You can tell they actually care about the quality of their work and keeping the pool in top shape--not just doing a quick pass and leaving. If you're dealing with pool issues or just want reliable service, I highly recommend Castro Pool. They brought my pool back to life.

I would never recommend this pool company or the individual who came out to my property. From the…read morevery start, he tried to upsell me on an estimate from another company--asking me to pay him the difference directly while claiming he could do the job himself. The work in question was mostly masonry repair for a pool crack, but it became clear very quickly that he was neither knowledgeable nor reliable. He constantly showed up late (when he showed up at all), invaded my privacy by looking up my personal profile on Facebook, and then lied about it by saying that I had looked him up. Completely unprofessional behavior. On top of that, he tried to charge $2,500 upfront before any work was completed, and then demanded another $2,500 after the supposed "completion"--even though he left the pool completely empty, which every real contractor knows can cause serious structural damage and new cracks. That alone could have cost me thousands. To be safe, I brought in a licensed masonry and construction contractor for a second opinion, and he confirmed what I already suspected: this guy didn't know what he was doing and was simply trying to take advantage of us. His exact words were that the original person I hired was "an idiot" just trying to take us for a ride. Save yourself the stress, money, and potential damage to your property--go with a licensed, experienced contractor who knows pools and masonry. This person is not trustworthy, not knowledgeable, and not worth your time.

BEWARE! I wish I could give this business 0 stars…read more I talked to the owner in December about hiring him to clean my elderly parents pool. This was a Christmas gift for my parents. They opened it on Christmas and were so excited only to have the rug pulled out from under them. They called Clear Coast to schedule their first cleaning and no one showed up. I have now called and texted the owner several times and he doesn't even return calls. I tried to be a good son and make my parents lives easier but Clear Coast completely ruined the gift and upset my parents even more. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS.

We found Greg Herman and Aqua26 Pools thru Yelp and we are SO grateful…read more We own a rental in the West Valley and strive to provide a quality experience for our tenants. The previous pool man (a one man operation) failed to service the pool for 3 or 4 weeks due to claimed illness. He made no provision to let us know and provided no substitute service. By the time the tenant realized the pool wasn't being serviced, we had a mess on our hands. We called Aqua 26 and spoke with Greg. What a refreshing experience! It was obvious that he cared about providing quality service. We learned that he had several crews and assured us that he was able to provide continuous service. Greg went by the property and reported back immediately what was needed to restore the pool. We hired him on the spot and couldn't be happier. He and Max brought to pool back to health in an amazingly short time. The tenant says the pool has never looked so consistently good. Greg keeps us posted if anything out-of-the-ordinary needs attention and we appreciate the open line of communication. His prices are fair and his service is the best we have ever had in 55 years of pool ownership. We highly recommend Greg and Aqua26 Pools for a whole lot less worry about your pool.

His pricing was also very reasonable. His partner, Alfredo, and their crew did an outstanding job. The project included replacing our 50-year-old concrete deck with new pavers, re-plastering the pool, installing new tile and plumbing, adding a new pool light, and building a Baja deck. The original timeline was four weeks from start to finish, and the project was completed just one week later due to a few additions we requested, including a new auto-fill system, Baja deck, drain lines, and electrical work. Ted also has excellent resources for selecting pavers and tile. Alfredo's crew is hardworking, detail-oriented, and takes great pride in their work. We highly recommend Ted and his team.

It has taken me MONTHS to write this, but I was waiting for our full yard and pool area to be…read morecompleted and here we are. We got quotes from several pool remodeling companies and Smart Swim came in right in the middle. We are strong believers on "you get what you pay for," and opted to go with them even though they were not the cheapest. From beginning to end, the guys at Smart Swim were easy to work with and truly wanted our project to come out great. After 30 years, it was time for our pool to have a remodel! Through the remodel, it was uncovered that we had many severe leaks, down to the rebar that needed to be fixed in some areas. Sam was great at making sure we understood the severity and that we were okay with any new costs that needed to be added. Not only did they do our pool, but also installed turf by the pool area and put pavers all around the pool and yard area. We also got the new gray gate installed from them as well, to replace the wooden fence in the yard (between the pool). **Noting that the perimeter wall/wooden top was painted black and sanded/stained by a different company. We truly appreciate their hard work and even when we had an immediate death in the family during their time working on our project, they were very respectful and gave us some space as needed.
