Matt and his team completely transformed our backyard! We hired him for a pool remodel and the results are stunning. They applied a beautiful Tahoe Blue pebble stone finish, step markers, installed crisp new water line tile, added gorgeous ledger stone to our feature wall, resurfaced the slide, and sealed everything up with new mastic. The quality of their craftsmanship is unmatched. The Tahoe Blue pebble has a rich, deep water color, and the new ledger stone and tile completely modernized the look of our pool. Matt was professional, highly communicative, and made sure every detail--from the smooth pool walls to the perfectly poured mastic--was flawless. If you are looking to upgrade your pool, at a great value, I highly recommend Matt and his team. read more

We bought a 20 year old home in Aviara two years ago - unfortunately, the pool and all the equipment had not been well maintained over that 20 years. After replacing all the equipment with something from this century, this year we decided to replace the badly stained plaster. As a hard-core Yelper, I set off to find companies and read reviews. Sunset quickly rose to the top of the list, so I set up a meeting with the owner back in early June. Matt walked me through the whole process, finishing options (we chose midnight blue pebble w/crushed abalone mother-of-pearl), made a few AWESOME suggestions on finishing looks, and let me know that the pool couldn't be heated for about 30 days, so I immediately: - signed a contract - pushed off the work until late October, figuring the swim season would be over by then. I was wrong - I swam the morning that we drained. Matt's team showed up the next day and woke up the neighborhood with demolition of the old plaster. Two days later they were laying in the new surface! Acid wash the next morning, and BOOM. Start the fill. Fast, phenom quality work, and an owner that goes out of the way to make sure that the job is done correctly. Definitely highly recommended. read more

Our pool and spa is approximately 8 years old. The original 1"x1" glass tile was failing. It was very difficult to find a company that was qualified and available to drain our pool, remove the glass tile and replace it with 6"x6" porcelain tiles. fortunately we found Sunset Pool Company. Matt was very responsive and his team did an outstanding job removing and replacing the tile. They were prompt, courteous, very professional and, they cleaned their work area each day before leaving. Matt did exactly what he said he would do and completed the job on time and on budget. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Matt for the great job. The pool looks new again! read more

Matt and his guys did an excellent job remodeling an old 70 style kidney pool with a pebble tec finish. The quartz coping melds perfectly with the blue tiling and Tahoe blue pebble. They repaired some wiring issues with the pool light that had been done improperly by the previous electrician and hooked the light back up to its gfci circuit. It is nice to know that someone was willing and able to run down and fix this problem. Eric Ward, his plumber/electrician was excellent. The workers worked around my dogs with no problem and I highly recommend Sunset Pool Company. read more

Sunset Pool Company - Remodeled pool - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me

Sunset Pool Company, Matt, his lovely family, and the crew did a great job giving my pool some much needed attention. Not only did they resurface my pool and replace the tile, but they repaired a poorly designed skimmer throat and raised my hot tub to the proper level. The work was done in a week. They have this process down to a science and we're helpful from start to finish. Matt helped me pick colors for the tile and stonescape surface to compliment my patio. After the resurface he personally came and managed the chemistry for the water refill. I'm seriously impressed with their professionalism and quality of work. They are an awesome family owned business and I highly recommend them! Thanks again! read more

Awesome!! After months of researching and interviewing pool contractors we felt most comfortable with Matt at Sunset Pools to remodel our pool. Matt is 100% professional and knows his stuff!!.  He is quick to respond and easy to communicate with. He was very patient with answering all our questions and was very informative. We learned a lot from him as he thoroughly explained materials options, design and the entire process from beginning to end. Matt is very knowledgeable . We were surprised how much he knew about everything and felt assured with him handling our remodel. Our project included a ledger stone wall, new coping, new tile, and fully replastering the pool with pebble finish. He took the time to meet us at the stoneyard and tile store to help us in making the best choices on materials used. He was right on the ball with ordering everything promptly and made sure everything was available and ready to start the work on time. He even goes out of his way to drive to Anaheim for material unavailable locally.  Matt does what it takes to get the job done the right way using top professionals using best quality materials to do it properly and professionally -no shortcuts. Everything arrived on time to start the project just as he said it would -and had his crew of professionals (specializing in each area) ready to go according to plan.  Workers started early and worked a full day, cleaning up after themselves at the end of each shift.  Antonio, his top mason took on extra challenges and skilled work to make additional cuts on straight ledger stone to customize for a perfect fit on our curved wall.  The particular ledger stone we chose turned out to be the wrong type for our application, but this did not stop a true professional and master craftsman to make it work in order to please us.  We are truly impressed and grateful for Matt and his team of professionals. For anyone looking to get their pool done right, we would highly recommend saving yourself hours of research and going straight to Sunset Pools. Best value Best choice. He aims to please. Thank you Matt for our gorgeous new pool and for getting it all done in half the time than was agreed per contract.  Even with working around the rain. We can't wait to invite friends and family with plenty of time before spring/summer season to enjoy our backyard for years to come. read more

While I'm not yet working on a project with Matt and Sunset Pool Co., I'm beyond impressed with Matt's responsiveness and patience with all of my questions. Matt was the only pool company that provided me with a re-plastering quote without me forwarding over my pool measurements. The 3 other companies that I reached out to in the San Diego area would not even take the time to provide a quote without the measurements. As someone whose line of work involves providing quotes to my clients, I can appreciate the time and effort that Matt put into forming such a detailed custom quote for me. The quote that he provided is reasonable and in line with what my husband and I had in mind, and included different resurfacing options and links to look at sample tile and finish options. The COVID disruption is the reason why we have not yet proceeded with the re-plaster, but as someone who respects others time, and appreciates those that give me theirs, I am hoping that we can work with Sunset Pool in the near future. Thank you, Matt for answering my many questions and showing that you genuinely care about your customers! read more

I would not hesitate to recommend Sunset Pool to anyone needing pool remodeling, tiling or plastering. After speaking and getting estimates from a couple of other companies salesman I contacted Matt and he came out personally and gave me a bid to re plaster my pool. He answered all my questions and never pushed or suggested doing upgrades like the other salesman did. After discussing my pool I decided that I would also like to replace the tiles and coping to go along with the new plaster, basically a remodel. He mentioned that the coping was probably not possible because of the pool decking but researched and found a beautiful stone that would work and moved forward with the project. The final result is a stunning resort like pool, better than I imagined. Matt was always there through every step explaining the process and answering all my questions. He is a stand up guy and knows most everything about pools. If you are looking to update your pool, give Matt a call, you won't be disappointed. read more

Hands down the best experience with a contractor or company I have had! I got a quote back almost immediately! Even during this madness of Covid-19 Matt showed up and was an expert in his field answering all my questions with extreme professionalism. It was a quick and easy process, they looked high and low all the way up to orange county for materials for my pool due to the lack of supplies at the moment. Absolutely magnificent job! I will be telling everyone that Sunset Pool Company is the place to look for any and all pool-related jobs! read more

Sunset Pool Company refinished my pool during the summer. Matt, the owner walked me through the entire process, including potential problems we could possibly run into, in particular the rebar and the quality of the concrete below the finish. We did run into problems. The problems were obvious to me and we dealt with it. The job did have a few delays due to shortage of crew members, but the job also started earlier and in the end, finished in time. Matt was great to work with and I do recommend Sunse read more

Sunset Pool Company and owners Matt and Tracy Faris are fantastic. We hired Sunset Pool Company to redo our tired looking 15 year old pool. Matt is always prompt to all of his appointments, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the pool equipment, the workings and designs of pools. He had some great suggestions about things we had not thought of. His proposal was emailed to us the same day we met with him, and was a very reasonable bid. He never had any add ons or changes. Extremely professional and honest. We replaced all of the tile and plaster, reconfigured the spa spill over (Matt's idea and we love it), and replaced all the pool equipment. Matt poured a knew pool equipment pad, installed all the equipment himself, and his crews for tiling and plastering were amazing. He sticks to his schedule, and has the work started and completed when he says he will. Even with all the rain, he was able to work around it and get the job done in a timely fashion. It was very easy to get in contact with either Matt or Tracy if we had questions, and they have great follow through. Matt even helped us figure out what was wrong with our deck drainage, and worked to fix it for us. We could not be happier with how our pool turned out. Matt and Tracy made the project run smoothly, and we now have a gorgeous pool. It sparkles with all the abalone shells added to the plaster. We were so happy with how the pool turned out, we hired Matt and Tracy to replace our very large driveway. Matt helped with the design, and hired an amazing concrete company (Black Lion) to demolish and replace the driveway with a new driveway that has a textured finish. It was a huge job, and Matt was on it from beginning to end (Matt and Tracy even helped with the clean up after sand blasting). I cant recommend Sunset Pool Company enough. Everyone involved was professional, reliable, courteous, and honest. read more

I had a pool solar system installed by Sunset in May of this year. I absolutely love it. Matt was able to give me an estimate, and install and get me up and running in a couple of weeks. Other companies told me it would take at least that long or longer to just get me the estimate. Matt was able to max out the panels on my roof and the temperature of my pool has been amazing. Very reasonable price. Thank-you Matt! read more

We can't speak highly enough about Sunset Pool Company. We hired them to configure and install a solar water system for our pool and have been very pleased with the results. From their help with the initial design of the system, to the purchasing of all the necessary hardware, to the installation, and then to the on going service, they have been great to work with. And the results have been fantastic, our gas bill has gone down accordingly. TWO BIG THUMBS UP!!!! read more

Great service and price. Matt and Tracy were very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. Had solar water heating for pool installed and it went fast and smooth and has been working like a champ. Made a big difference in how often we use the pool now. I love to heat the water all day and have an early evening swim in warm water. I will be using them again in the future for other pool projects. Thanks! read more

Finally decided to invest in solar for our pool and we could not be happier. Matt and Tracy were amazing and answered all of the million questions we had prior to instillation. They were very timely and efficient and delivered amazing customer service. I would recommend them to anyone in search of pool services! Thanks so much for the heated pool for summer! read more

We had Sunset pool out to resurface our pool, and they did a fantastic job. Matt and Tracy are great people and provided excellent service. I can't recommend them enough. Professional, reliable and honest. read more

I bought an older house with a pool. It needed some love. My kids love to swim so we needed it to be clean and warm. I contacted Matt with Sunset Pool Co. and he came out the next day. He went over all of the pool resurfacing options with me and to my amazement went on to tell me he could do the solar too! I had talked to some other companies but no one could do it all. I was going to have to keep shopping around to find 2 different companies to do the jobs. Matt gave me great prices and stuck to the schedule. I am very happy with the job they did on my pool and my solar. I definitely recommend them. read more

Wow, I don't know how they got other 5-star reviews here in the yelp but the guy who replied my call was just very impatient and so rude that he hung up on me after he thought he might not be able to get my business because he just tried to upsell his solar panel and I didn't buy it. I am glad I don't have to give them my business for anything. read more

I must correct a few statements. I never said the pool company that did a messy job plastering my pool was unlicensed. When the person I spoke to at Sunset Pools asked the name of the contractor, I said, he owned his own pool company, was referred to me by a Neighborhood website as a pool company that had good reviews and serviced residents in my area. He was my pool servicer for a number of years. He closed his business during the pandemic. Secondly, that day I was told by the person I was speaking with, if I didn't need tile work on my pool, I could probably be squeezed into his schedule. I pay cash, never ask for special pricing or discounts. Why would it be necessary to get angry at a pool company when I was getting an estimate? I already had two lower estimates, but price was not my main consideration. Quality and knowledge of work to be done were part of the criteria. How did a "messy" job translate into inspectors and the other rhetoric about refusing to repair my pool? I don't know how anyone can come to such an analysis without a visual inspection. It did not happen. I never discuss religion or politics when conducting business, for this reason. I was not aware of any material shortages, manufacturing shutdowns, or trucking issues that was presented to me in this conversation. I responded to his comment, "Way To Go Biden", by saying, "he inherited this mess" at which time I was told about the socialism, communism, etc. that Biden was trying to enact. I simply hung up the phone. No argument, or raised voice. This call was on speaker phone with two other people present. My issue is now with the conversation scenario represented as factual. I can express or convey anything I have to say, without being loud, boisterous or whatever the term that was used. I had nothing to contribUte to that conversation, so, I just hung up. I am not asking for special favors, payment plans or anything other than a good job. I support Biden, that's my choice, as it is my choice not to hire a business that disparages him. I would never say the name of the former president when discussing business, or initiate anything that involves him. If you just want to repair pools, then don't go off topic into politics. And be truthful about your verbiage. This is now about integrity, not a pool repair. I am done with this. read more

I got a new 400BTU pool/spa heater from Sunset and couldn't be happier with the process, they are very professional and honest. I called many companies and everyone was charging a considerable amount more for the same unit.. so it's good to know who to call next time I need a pool upgrade without having to check around first. read more

I recently had my pool remodeled and then decided I wanted to add solar so that it was actually warm enough to enjoy. I called around, got quotes, but Sunset stood out from the rest. Tracy was very polite on the phone, gave me a good idea of the cost, then had Matt scheduled to come out and meet with me the next day. He confirmed everything and we signed a contract. That was Thursday. Matt was back on Monday to install the system and had it done in a day! The installation is so clean, the attention to detail was great and the speed at which they completed it from initial phone call to installation was impressive. The fact that it is a family owned and operated business is a bonus, I like supporting businesses like theirs. I highly recommend them if you need anything done. I'm very happy I found them. read more

We just had our pool re-plastered and couldn't be more pleased. Matt, the owner, was there every day and went above and beyond to answer all of our questions and ensure everything was done to our satisfaction and on schedule. The finished product is beautiful. Their price was affordable and their customer service can't be beat. We would definitely recommend Sunset Pool Company to anyone who needs a remodel! read more
