    Cracks everywhere & piec of rock fell off

    After a few years, the pool is getting a lot worse. Beware of this company, as these are the headaches we are going through. It's now to a point where we have to hire another pool contractor and go through this all over again. This has been an absolute nightmare and a complete disaster. He left us high and dry, and it is unfortunate as these issues will likely come up after Brady is long gone, and you will never hear from him again. It's not cheap to remodel a pool, and it is concerning to see this guy is still operating.

    Finishing up pebble.

    Brady and his guys were in and out, starting on Tuesday with emptying the pool, and ending on Friday with filling it up. His guys were clean, (which I was very impressed with), and Brady was great at answering any questions or concerns we had. It was a very fast experience and the cost was fair compared to the other quotes we had received. Our pool looks amazing and we are so excited for this next summer in our new pool. Thank you Brady and team!

    5 star service and quality. The mini pebble aqua blue is nice with tiny shells and blue glass beads. They installed it to where its not rough like other pebble I've felt. It actually feels nice! There is a huge team of workers and they got my pool and spa done in about a week. I had a concern about the grout color for my tile. The workers and Brady listened and fixed it quick with no hesitation. All the workers are professional, clean and do excellent work. Brady is a cool and trustworthy guy and communicated with me daily to let me know the process. satisfied.

    If I had one word to describe SoCal Pools Plus, that word would be "AMAZING ". After receiving four estimates for replastering our pool we selected SoCal Pools to do the job. By doing so was the best decision we made. Brady, the company owner, and his office manager Mandy were so helpful and engaged with us during the whole process. Brady explained everything regarding our options, including the pros and cons, related to the latest materials used today. We selected pebbles , instead of the traditional plaster. With so many color options, it was hard to decide what color would work best for us. Brady and Mandy were very patient with us and assisted us in making our final selection. Brady's team came to the job site on time for three days and completed the work on our pool. The crew members were professional and friendly. Brady came to the site everyday. He took an active roll in making sure we were totally satisfied, and answered any additional questions we had during the project. If you want your pool to upgrades done correctly with care and detail SoCal Pools Plus Is the company to go with. The prices were very fair, compared to other competitors. However the most important thing is the customer service and the personal interaction with the entire team. To Brady & Mandy, keep up the great customer service and support. We also have found new friends in both of you forever.

    Brady, owner, is amazing! He was thorough, knowledgeable, and very personable. He came to give us a quote and emailed me his estimate right in front of me! Talk about efficient! We needed an old pool refinished. Brady didn't try to push any extras on us, try to up sell us on more expensive options or say that everything needed to be replaced. He was honest and up front about the cost and the time frame. Once you talk to Brady, you will quickly see why he and his company deserve 5 stars! His personality is infectious. Once we decided to go with So Cal Pool Plus, work began within a week. We had a hard time choosing tile and Brady was very patient and gave us some great suggestions. His office manager Mandy was also super sweet. I am the type of person who asks lots and lots and lots of quesrions and they were both eager to answer them all. Once we finally decided on the perfect tile, we found out it that it was out of stock thanks to Covid! Brady, to the rescue, somehow he managed to scrape together just enough for our pool. When work began, Brady came everyday to make sure work was progressing on schedule and done to his high standards. The crew worked quickly and efficiently, were very polite and professional. The only thing I can think of that wasn't perfect, was that one 1 day, the crew left a bit of a mess behind. But that was quickly remedied the next day and the entire area was meticulously cleaned. The pool came out exceptionally well! We chose dark blue tile and Tahoe Blue mini pebble with lots of extra glass pebble thrown in. We didn't have our own pool guy so for the start up chemicals Brady gave us a recommendation and he was also amazing. Even after everything was complete, Brady called to make sure everything was good and that we were happy. We are very very pleased with Brady and his company and highly recommend them to anyone thinking about refinishing or building their own pool! I would give him 10 stars if I could!

    Brady is amazing and went above and beyond for our backyard pool/paver/pergola project. The work is beautiful, and we get so many compliments from everyone who sees it. As a side note, we had a petty theft break-in on our garage... when the cops arrived, they kept talking about how great our pavers looked!

    The 5 star rating is well deserved for the entire team at SoCal Pools Plus. After a bad first impression with another company, I reached out to four other companies including SoCal Pools Plus. I decided to sign a contract with Brady based on his initial professionalism, honesty and positive attitude. He promised to treat my pool and concrete project like it was his own and he did not disappoint. He was personable, responsive, and treated my family and I like we were more than customers from start to finish. Mario was just as good and showed up on time everyday with the rest of the crew. I could fill up a page with all of the awesome things they did during my project, bottom line is I highly recommend this company! Great team, and amazing work.

    Pool remodel 2016. Pebble, coping, tile, stacked stone, salt system, lighting, water feature, auto-fill, Baja shelf, and more.

    After getting visits and quotes from over half a dozen companies, my husband and I decided to go with SoCal Pools because: Nathan's quote came in 33% less than most of the others, he was knowledgeable about the work, he welcomed questions and the discussion of ideas, and he was personable and friendly. He is also a military veteran (USMC) and, to me, that implies certain admirable traits. In addition, with expensive projects like this, it's important to me that I "click" with my contractors; I'm a high maintenance client and I need to feel like I can trust and rely on them (without annoying them)... And Nathan didn't disappoint. My husband and I bought this house in March 2016. We knew we wanted to remodel the pool and when we found out we were expecting, there was suddenly a timeframe around "when." We needed everything done before our baby came. Nathan took the time to walk us through what to expect, helped us select materials and colors, and stayed in contact throughout the project, even doing some of the work himself. His team, including Mario, his project manager, were courteous, efficient, and friendly. The end result was better than I had imagined. Nathan even worked with our budget to get in something that I really wanted, but didn't *need* - a water feature. We are extremely pleased with SoCal Pools' work and cannot recommend them enough. With SoCal Pools, you aren't getting a polished salesman. You're getting someone who knows the job and will get it done right. Pros: *Personable and friendly *Knowledgeable and experienced *Hands on, does their own work (no sub-contracting) *Takes pride in the job and finished product *Flexible, adjusts to changing conditions and new requests *Available on weekends *Educated us on how to take care of our pool and equipment *Followed through on commitments (e.g. Came back 30 days later to check pool even though all payments were made) Cons: *Timeline got extended an extra week (mostly due to weather issues) *Late to a couple appointments *Communications occasionally delayed But, wait. If they weren't perfect, why five stars? Two reasons: 1) Throughout the project, Nathan would check on the progress and ensure that the work was up to his standards. A few times, he noticed things that he wanted tweaked - things that I, as a detailed micro-manager, hadn't even noticed. 2) Shortly after giving birth, while I was still in the hospital, something needed to be done with the pool. I don't remember what or why exactly (I don't remember much from those few days), but I remember Nathan texting me and saying not to worry, he'd take care of everything... And he did.

    "Before" Shots

    Nathan and his crew did a wonderful job transforming our dated pool with spotted plaster into a beautiful oasis. We chose a good time of year to do the remodel (March) and we were completely done within a few weeks, and even that timeframe was impacted by rain delays. When we wanted some changes to the rock coping, Nathan graciously agreed to make the change. His workers were professional, friendly, neat and punctual. We have already referred some friends to Nathan and would strongly recommend his services to everyone. He is very laid back without the high pressure that some contractors apply in an attempt to close the deal. So Cal Pools Plus' work is excellent, and their prices can't be beat. The total price for the remodel, new tile, Pebble Sheen, rock coping, and a water feature was the same price another contractor wanted to charge us for JUST the rock work! Thank you for everything Nathan! We love it!!

He was upfront on what would be expected of me and what he would do weekly/yearly. I had no idea what a pool needed. He explained that the pump needs to be run at least 6 hours a day to circulate the water. He would come weekly to test the water, clean the pool and check the small filter (and probably other things I forgot about). Yearly, he puts conditioner in (he explained what it does but I can't remember). A couple months ago, my pool started to turn slightly green. He put some other chemicals in to help it. But it didn't work. So he checked my big filter and told me it needed a cleaning . He and another guy came that weekend and cleaned it. After he was done, he texted and explained everything he did to the filter and pool and what I needed to do to make sure the water clears up. By the next day, the pool started to clear up. Within a couple days, it was back to normal. He's very responsive and helpful. He comes when I'm at work so I usually text him if I need anything or have questions. He speaks English but is also fluent in Korean. Totally hire this guy/company if you need a pool guy!

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our project manager Tamir was exceptional -- responsive, organized, and clearly invested in the quality of the work. He kept the job moving at a surprisingly fast pace and promptly resolved issues as they arose. Pricing was competitive -- we got multiple estimates and Way To Go came in reasonable without cutting corners. You can see it in the finish quality: the stonework is clean, the tile on the curved bench is precise, and the side yard pathway turned out better than we imagined. Our pool cleaner gave high praise on the resurfacing work when he arrived for the first cleaning! Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space -- quality work, fair pricing, and a timeline that'll surprise you.

The remodel included changing the old plaster to mini pebble, installing new tile, adding a new LED pool light, and doing the deco seal around the pool. The finish came out great and it completely refreshed the look of the pool. Once all the materials were ordered and ready, the actual work was completed in about a week, which I was really happy about. Tamir kept everything organized and the crew stayed on schedule. I also appreciated that he was able to accommodate a couple of last-minute additions I requested during the project and made sure everything was taken care of. The crew did solid work and the pool looks great now. I'm happy with how everything turned out and would recommend Way To Go Builders if you're planning a pool remodel.
