UPDATE November 2025: As the season shifts from our hot SoCal summer to fall, I remain completely impressed and in awe of my pool. The heater with deep water returns keeps the pool at the perfect temperature, which is a testament to Robby and Team's design knowledge. I swim almost every day, sometimes more than once per day, and each swim is nothing less than perfection. On reflection of the process, I felt so listened to during the building of my pool, and Sundancer delivered my dream of a large, deep pool with a space to do all sorts of exercise. I couldn't be more happy! It IS perfect! Thank you so much!!

Here are some photos of the updated project. The pool was filled today!! Seems we are about 1/2 way done. The pool was empty for a few years, so now we work through what is working and what isn't. Remember on pool remodels, it's usually more of a project, with more details then you expect. But Marc and his crew will walk right along with you, to help make the right decisions for you, your family and your pool.

Our large, deep pool hadn't been remodeled since 1964, it was a mess! Sundancer did an incredible job thanks to Marc Correll and his crew, as you can see in the before and after photos. He maintained the retro character of our pool, decks and property, whilst updating everything to the latest technology. From day one Marc had amazing ideas. We had been struggling figuring out what to do with a row of old telephone poles, thinking we'd need to build an expensive retaining wall. Marc had the genius idea of simply replacing the damaged poles and building a low retaining wall in front. This retains the charm of our quirky property, we love it and get so many compliments on how cool it looks. Our project was a complete backyard and pool remodel including: - old poolhouse demo - new concrete decks everywhere - rebuilding/concreting upper patio - install decorative aged brick on all paths & patios - tearing out all old landscaping - install two stairwells with lighting - beautiful waterfall wall & 4 deck jets (mitigate freeway noise) - pool lighting, saltwater, solar, plastering & tile - all new pool equipment & plumbing - long retaining wall all down one side of large lot - building three raised planter beds (one with cool curved wall) - creating hot-tub nook with electrical hookup - and more! And yes that's an airstream in one of the photos... it's our guest house, for which Marc built a concrete pad and liaised with our plumber on the installation of water, sewer and electric. He even helped to get the Airstream in place, which was quite an event! We planned and managed the project ourselves, and Marc had endless patience and good humor with our often changing ideas, always coming up good solves or alternatives we hadn't thought of - literally nothing fazed him. With a project this size we hit some bumps along the way, which was to be expected - Marc communicated clearly to manage our expectations, and was always fair about everything. By the end he had become a good friend, he's just a great guy. Bottom line - I can't recommend Sundancer highly enough, and the photos really don't even do justice to how amazing our back yard is. People come over and say "wow it's like a resort back here" because it is!

After deciding not to build a pool last year because the company we were working with kept trying to oversell us, we decided to give SunDancer pools a try and gave Marc a call. We couldn't be happier with how it turned out! Marc is a pro. He's an expert at designing pools and patios, and super flexible and easy to work with. Marc is always available to answer our questions via phone / text and frequently stopped by to make sure everything was going as planned. The SunDancer team and contractors were all amazing. They work fast and their attention to details (especially Eduardo and the masons) was very much appreciated. Our project finished on time and budget, even with several changes and last minute additions. Thanks Marc and SunDancer for building the perfect pool for our property.

We contacted many companies during the summer of 2020 to help us build our pool. The unique thing about our pool was that we wanted it on the bank (up high). A few requirements for us were 1) Company has been around for longer than 2-3 years (for any warranty issues), 2) Most of their workers are employees of the company (not 3rd party contractors), 3) Responsiveness. Robby came out and listened to what we wanted and Sundancer came up with the best plan and an awesome idea for a vanishing edge that doubled as a water fall on the lower level. I enjoyed working with Robby throughout the whole process. He responds to texts even at odd hours when I had some ideas to bounce off him. Because of the demand, our pool didn't get started until end March of 2021 and we started filling water July 29th of 2021. I thought it was great progress considering the demand and supply shortage.

Pool was completed right on time, and we were able to make changes along the way when we wanted. Be prepared to make choices with tiles quickly and color choices fast. Certain decisions come up fast without alot of warning. With covid we couldn't look at stores at our leisure. Everything was done without problems and completed well. There were no surprises. Everything is laid out and there are no shady issues or problems at all. That's all you can hope for with a large contract these days. Be prepared to have some landscaping damage, possible broken sprinklers and high water bills during the process. We love our pool and wouldn't hesitate to recommend this company. We can't wait for this summer!!

We have finished the project! Actually finished about 8 months ago, but I wanted to updated this review with our experience with Robby at Sundancer from start to finish to continued support. Robby and the team at Sundancer has been beyond amazing. My wife and I have worked with many contractors over the years and none have come close to the experience and professionalism you get with Sundancer. Even to this day we look back on our pool build experience and wish all projects went that smooth! If we changed anything Robby was quick to answer with no problem and he made sure it got done. Our pool is absolutely beautiful and exactly what we pictured. We swim in it all the time and enjoy it as often as we can. I just want to give a heart felt thank you Robby and the whole Sundancer family for making our pool dream come true with no stress. Now we are itching for new projects and there is no doubt we will use Sundancer if that includes another pool!

After searching for months to find the right contractor to bring our vision for our backyard to fruition at the price point we were looking for, we happily found Dave Williams Jr. and Sundancer Pools. The result of our experience is nothing short of spectacular. Dave and his crew took care of us every step of the way, treated our home as if it were their own, and went out of their way to ensure our experience was as good as can be. In addition to creating a custom spool (small pool / large spa) with a waterfall, Sundancer Pools took ownership of a complete renovation of the back and front yards; providing an outdoor living room, outdoor kitchen, complete with artificial turf and landscaping tailored to our motif. We approached Dave with a plan for what we had in mind, and what he and his team were able to create exceeded all of our expectations. Sundancer Pools created an environment for outdoor entertainment, a soothing retreat, and a place for outdoor living - indicative of the Southern California lifestyle. We would highly recommend Dave Williams Jr. and Sundancer Pools to help bring your vision to a reality and exceed all your expectations.

Check out the before and now see the after. The pool only took December 2020 and it was completed May 2021 which was phenomenal time considering COVID! Our yard is a resort thanks to Sundancer Pools!

Marc Correll and the Sundancer team just completed a $150K plus remodel for us. I cannot say enough about how great they were. Each team they brought in, from the demo crew, to the tile crew, to the plaster crew were professional, on time, neat, etc. Any issues we encountered (like clogged drains, etc.) were taken care of promptly and efficiently, with no extra charges to us. We even had an issue with a cranky, complaining neighbor and Marc's team went above and beyond to appease them. In addition, the Sundancer team worked well with our other contractors (carpenter, painter, landscaper) to coordinate all parts of the project being done ON TIME. Sundancer DELIVERED. They did what they said they were going to do AND THEN SOME. They went above and beyond all my expectations.

We used Sundacer Pools as a subcontractor to do the demo, spa, hardscape, turf, BBQ island and water/fire feature of our outdoor living remodel. We had a fantastic experience with Sundancer Pools and Robby Williams in particular who was the project lead. When we first met with Robby we discussed how we wanted an in-ground spa, a water feature, a fire pit with built-in seating, and a BBQ island. Robby informed us that given the size of our small backyard that the best use of space would be to combine the water feature and the fire pit into a single centerpiece. He sketched his idea out for us on the spot and fast forward almost a year (it was a large project with multiple contractors + delays due to COVID) and we are simply stunned with the end result. Robby's on-the-spot design ideas came out better than we ever could have imagined. The multi-tier water/fire feature with built-in seating is stunning and we have received no end of compliments about it. The spa is even more luxurious than we anticipated. Sundancer was able to make it even larger than originally advertised and we have used it every single day since it was installed several weeks ago. Our young kids have also been loving the spa (which is big enough for them to swim in) and they particularly love the waterfall from the attached water feature. Robby and all of the Sundancer crew were polite, easy to work with, and responsive. As some other reviewers have mentioned, Sundancer typically makes rapid, on-the-spot decisions about various material selections. Since we were using Sundancer as a subcontractor the prime handled all of that and it was a seamless and a more-or-less painless process from our perspective. All work was completed on-time and in a professional manner and the few (minor) nits we have had Robby has addressed promptly. I strongly recommend asking for Robby if at all possible if you decide to work with Sundancer.

Embarking on a backyard pool construction project is equally exciting as it is daunting. We interviewed a lot of companies, narrowed them down, itemized proposals, and asked several questions along the way. Marc Correll with Sundancer was extremely knowledgeable, straight forward, responsive, and seriously patient with us as we navigated through the selection process. That combination, along with Sundancer's multi-generational reputation & their confidence to put a lifetime warranty on construction, is what won out for us. Throughout the project, Marc showed the exact same attributes as he did at the start -- that's the mark of a quality professional. We couldn't be happier with the result. Marc / Sundancer helped us create our family's "Memory Maker" in our backyard. I'd highly recommend them for your project.

While we have not decided on a company to build our pool just yet, I felt compelled to write a review for Sundancer. Shanyn has been so pleasant and easy to work with on the phone. She's been easy to reach via phone or text regarding our appointment. Dave, the owner, came and took measurements and got our ideas and submitted a quote to us in a reasonable time. We still have to make a decision between about 5 companies, but the icing on the cake from Sundancer was a personalized thank you for even considering them. So nice!

See all
