Words cannot express how grateful my family is for Allen and his team. We had a harder project, to build a pool in a oddly shaped backyard with limited space. Allen and his team put so much heart and dedication into making our dream pool. The original price quote to the finalization was very close matching, Allen is honest and trustworthy, without adding extra costs. The dig to the time it was finished went fast and shows how Allen and his team are hardworking. The 3D image that Allen originally showed us matched the pool we are looking at today. Today it is finally completed and it exceeds our expectations and dreams. Stacey was always helpful in guiding the process to start and get the permit completed. Allen and his other workers, specifically Ryan are honestly so kind and helpful. They went out of their way to do things they didn't even have to do. This company not only does exceptional work, but are caring people. The pictures do not even show the true beauty. I will recommend Taylor-Made Pools to anyone looking. Do yourself a favor and go with this company. read more

Okay so I am always suspicious of all 5 star reviews on Yelp but Taylor Made Pools deserves every one of those star and more! First, Allen Taylor is a real pool expert and a genuinely nice, honest person. He is exactly the kind of man I love doing business with. When my pool tiles starting dropping off the wall and into the pool Allen came out quickly, assessed the problem and gave me a very reasonable price and timeline for the repair. His crew is the most hardworking team of nice, clean, punctual professionals I have seen. They are real perfectionists. They had the work done in two days and everything looked beautiful! I plan to use taylor Made for any and all of my pool repair needs. He is the real deal. Do not hesitate to use him. Thank you Allen and staff!!! read more

Allen and his crew are amazing. They do quality work and really care about making sure everything is perfect for the customer. They were extremely professional. I can't recommend Allen and his company more for your pool remodel. He really knows what he's doing and is patient with the customer. He communicates well and gets right back with you. I'm so thrilled that I went with Taylor/Made pools. read more

We had the greatest experience with TMP. Allen Taylor and everyone at TMP were efficient, communicative, and easy to work with. We interviewed multiple pool companies before going with Allen and his team. What first impressed me was his attention to detail and honest approach to discussing our job. He commented on aspects of our job others had not and he even went as far to explain why other companies would be unsafe to do what they had offered. In working with Allen he came up with a quote that was on par with other companies. He also explained cost that might have been higher than other quotes. Our full project was only higher in the end for upgrades that we chose in the end. One of the most impressive things we found with TMP was how quickly they were able to perform the renovation to the pool, add a spa, and update our pool equipment. We were AHEAD of schedule! Lastly, Allen is so proud and dedicated to his craft that he continues to check in with us and is available for questions the entire process. When people ask who did our pool we are quick to refer Allen and his team and have only positive feedback to give him!!! read more

Taylor made pools did exactly what I wanted in making my dream pool. Allen listened to every little detail about what I wanted for me. I have RA and steps were hard for me to get into a pool. He put a beach entry and a chair for me to get in and out of my pool. I love everything he did for me. Thank you Allen for all the great work you did. read more

Allen and his crew were phenomenal. I noticed the difference immediately when on the quote visit. Allen was super attentive to our desires, offered suggestions to improve the idea, and was very communicative through the whole process. Meanwhile others didnt even showup for appts, or gave a feeling like you would be chasing them down for items you agreed too. Everyone Taylor-Made sent were super courteous and professional and just did amazing work. read more

I don't really do reviews, but after meeting with Allen, I felt the need to share my experience. We have had a couple of other pool repair/remodeling companies come to our house and asked them for some advice for repairs. Instead of trying to solve the problems we asked about, these other companies were just interested in creating the largest project possible in order to make the most money. Allen took the time to give us advice so we could solve our issues without trying to upsell us on a huge remodeling project that would cost tens of thousands of dollars. He took the time to answer our questions and help us even though he would not make a bunch of money on our project. Allen reminded me of an "old school" company that cared more about their reputation than making a quick buck. Definitely a great change from the companies who seem to take advantage of their customers' ignorance about pools to fleece them for all their worth. If you want an honest opinion about whether you need a repair or remodel, I wholeheartedly recommend contacting Allen at Taylor Made Pools! Thank you, Allen, so much for your help and advice! read more

We started looking for a pool contractor last summer. We met with 6 different companies, Taylor-Made, and specifically Derek, were amazing during the initial planning process. We spent a few weeks going back and forth locking down the design, before we ever paid a penny or signed any sort of contract. I was getting my financing through a bank who requires paying the contractor directly, in 4 payments. This differed from Taylor-Made's standard payment schedule, but they worked with me, and helped in every way to ensure the financing and payments happened as the bank required. Once the work started after the 1st if the year, Allen took over, and was also incredible. He was straight forward, honest, and communicated well throughout the process. I would recommend Taylor-Made to anyone considering a pool, especially if you live in East County. They do amazing work read more

If you're looking for a pool construction company that is honest, hard working, diligent, pays attention to detail, knowledgeable and time conscious, Taylor Made Pools is the company for you! I cant say enough about Allen and Derek for the job that they did from start to finish. I interviewed several local companies and was really appreciative of their no-pressure approach. As a homeowner and never having had a pool before, the endless questions in my mind were maddening. They were very patient and explained everything very clearly throughout the whole process. Their work crew's schedule was clearly communicated and they were always there when they said they would be. Derek was super knowledgeable about the latest pool technologies and gave us in-depth tutorials on how to operate everything. Thank you Taylor Made Pools!! read more

We just finished a total resurfacing of our pool and spa. Allen and his team are truly top notch. First of all, their bid was very competitive, and the work was better than expected. Allen personally came at the start and then periodically throughout the project. He was always in good communication with us. His team was professional and thorough. The pool looks amazing. Just a big thank you to the Taylor-Made team. They are a 10 star group. Thanks much. read more

Allen came out and gave us a quote to do a complete remodel on our pool. New cantilever pour in place coping with a sanded finish, new waterline tile, new stone on the raised walls, mini pebble plaster, rock water slide that came out amazing with a separate water fall, added a Baja shelf and a new step/seat on the other end of our pool. Allen and crew did an amazing job and the best part was his constant communication. He was on schedule and no hard sales tactics. Allen gave me lots of help with ideas to make my pool just perfect. The crew was friendly, on time and professional. Stacy the office manager was always pleasant and helpful too. I got 6 different bids from other pool companies. Taylor Made was actually the first company that came out but I felt like I needed to do my homework and get more bids. I was ready to sign Allen at the end of our meeting, that's how much I liked and respected him. Another extremely satisfied customer!

Alan and his crew resurfaced our pool with pebble-tec, added a baja shelf, redid some tiles and installed a new heater and variable speed pump. Everything has been up and running for 2 months now and we couldn't be happier. Everything about Taylor-Made Pools was top level professionalism. From start to finish (right on time) there had to have been at least 20 different people on the job and every single one of them was respectful and hard working. Pricing was very competitive and we felt very fair. read more

Look no further! We had an outstanding experience with Taylor Made Pools on a pool resurfacing. From the original estimate to completion they were courteous, timely, clean, thorough, trustworthy and their work is absolutely top of the line. We chose the Hydrazzo polished marble and could not happier. The best part of the project was working with Derek, who managed everything from start to finish impeccably. They did demo, finish and fill in 3 working days. Also did an excellent job with filter clean and start up. I have been involved in pool builds and resurfacing before, but have never been so impressed --with Derek, the office staff and Taylor Made Pools. Highly recommended. read more

I have been enjoying my remodeled pool for a year. This is a good time for giving thanks and to show sincere appreciation to the excellent crew of people who work for Allen Taylor. Every member, including Stacie Mosley, were pool construction professionals and were a joy to have working on our pool and spa in 2022. The special requirement of a handrail and steps for a disabled person to use the pool has been a tremendous improvement to a healthy lifestyle. The coordination among TMP, Coastline Pools, Flex Pool Solar, and Precision Pool Tile Cleaning was virtually seamless. They have made a 20 years old pool into a brand new one much better than the original. read more

Allen did an amazing job on our pool! We bought a house that had an old fiberglass lined pool. He took it all out and redid it with the pebble surfacing. It looks awesome! He was so easy to work with and it looks great! Bonus, a friend suggested their pool guy who would "hook us up". He couldn't beat Allen's price. Great quality work and good pricing - you can't go wrong. read more

I started to look for a pool remodeler and once I met Allen I stopped looking, he gave me great advice, a great price and they were fast and professional. Thank you Allen and crew.

The workers Allen has are all professional and with Allen's direction we couldn't be more thrilled!! Choosing the tile and Pebble Finish was tough. Too many options!

Allen and his team did an excellent job on our pool remodel. I honestly couldn't be happier with the outcome. Not only does the pool look great but I'm still amazed at how quickly he completed the work. He managed to drain our old pool, jackhammer the old plaster, replace our old cracked coping with beautiful custom cut chocolate quartzite, redo all the tile and lay new Tahoe Blue mini-pebble plaster in less than 2 weeks. We were actually in the pool and enjoying it in a little over a week, even prior to the seal being installed. The entire job took about 2 and a half weeks to complete and the results look amazing. The funny thing is that he put int he contract that the pool would be done by the end of June, which would have been 6 weeks and he was actually done by the beginning of June. Talk about under promising and over delivering. Allen transformed our old outdated cracking and peeling pool into a beautiful resort style grotto that we'll be enjoying for most of the year. Not only was the work done well but Allen has a real passion for his trade and he takes pride in what can be considered an art form. The work he did on our concrete when adding in a new dedicated vac line and skimmer line was professionally done and I wish we would have had the funds to have him re-do our entire back patio area because he did a great job. We actually got quotes from several other contractors before having the work done and while Allen's bid wasn't the cheapest, the high quality materials he used made up for the small difference in price. I did my research and Quartzite is more dense than flagstone and will last longer. In addition the Stonescape Mini Pebbles have a much longer life expectancy than the Quartz plaster the other contractors were quoting as the materials in their bid. Overall I'd definitely recommend Allen and Taylor Made Pools to anyone looking to have their pool re-done, build a new pool or even to have your entire back patio re-done. His work speaks for itself and I'm sure that you won't be disappointed in excellent work they'll do for you. read more

What a great small local company! Out of the three sales people to come out to our home they were the most professional and detailed. Gave us all the options for the pool itself - beautiful color brochures to really get us excited about the process. And Derek the contact person was so knowledgeable and patient with us. He even came out a second time with his excavation person. We have a very difficult yard to get into and that is the ONLY reason we didn't ultimately hire them. But price was competitive too. If you don't have access problems hire them, you won't be disappointed. read more

My husband and I had 6 companies give us quotes for a pool in our backyard. We narrowed our choices down to our top two companies we felt comfortable with. In the end, we went with TMP because they really seemed to understand what type of pool we wanted for our purposes. Our project manager was Derek and he was great at communicating with us from start to finish. Our pool was done on time, they had great customer service, and the workers were respectful. We did have a couple minor issues along the way, but Derek and Allen (owner) resolved matters quickly. We are so very happy with our pool and glad we chose Taylor Made Pools. We've already recommend them to our neighbor and a few friends. read more

We are in the market for a standard size pool and have interviewed about 5 pool companies so far. Derek came out and spent well over an hour with us.

Great job on our pool remodel. On time and super clean. Office kept us abreast of any delays due to weather and the stay at home virus requirements.

Keep up the great work. read more

Taylor-Made Pools & Spas - Mini Pebble (StoneScapes) Tahoe Blue finish with glass abalone for the sparkle effect. Wow, Taylor Made Pools is the best. - Pool & Hot Tub Service Near Me - Santee, California

Thanks so much to Allen and his team for making our pool beautiful! When we purchased our home we decided we would need to resurface the pool as the plaster had many stains/parts coming up. It was a difficult process to choose what type of surface and what color. Allen was so great at suggesting different options and that is how we landed on mini pebble. He was also flexible. Due to budget, the color I wanted would put us over budget (Tropics blue) so I asked if it would be possible to use the dye from tropics blue and the stones from aqua white. He was able to do this. Allen was the most reasonable on cost and timing as well. I had my heart set on a July 4th pool party and the team made it happen. Our pool equipment was also redone and we couldn't be happier with the setup. As you can see from the pictures, our pool is really amazing. read more

Allen and his crew did a superb job on our swimming pool remodel. We were a little skeptical going with the Pebble finish at first, but we are so glad we did. Allen doesn't pressure you into something if you aren't interested; he really listens to what you want. He was great to work with and his crew were exceptional. They were great on the clean up and were really friendly too. Kudos to Taylor Made Pools, they are a great company, very good quality work and the pool was finished sooner than we expected. We now have Allen doing our weekly service and I can honestly say our pool has never looked so good. Way better than a plain white plaster. We are indeed very happy customers. We went with the Aqual Cool Pebble Finish. Sincerely, Dan & Kimberly Marler Santee, CA read more

Allen and his crew were wonderful to work with on our pool remodel. We had several cracks and our plaster looked bad. The original pool materials were very basic and were also in need of a cosmetic upgrade. Allen was 1 of 3 contractors we received bids from. His pricing was slightly lower, but on par with the other contractors. While cost is important, there are other factors that we consider as important, if not more so. Experience and reputation are critical, especially where a major investment is concerned. When Allen arrived to bid our work, he came well prepared to answer all of our questions and he was the only contractor of the 3, who provided materials for us to review. We were able to peruse the brochures at our leisure, in order to determine some of the finishes we would select. We did our homework and felt confident that he was a contractor in good standing, BBB accredited, as well as having all good Yelp reviews. Once we decided to hire Taylor Made Pools, he directed us to local suppliers where we could choose our Quartzite coping color, as well as pebble and tile options. I would highly recommend doing this as colors are never quite the same as in the catalog photo. We also discussed options for our new cement deck and Allen was very helpful in advising us about which ones to avoid. We decided to add a tan color to the cement and to add a top cast finish, at his recommendation. The process of demo and all the steps to finish, is a long one. There is a lot of dust and mess to deal with, but the results are well worth the disruption. Allen's crews were highly skilled, very personable and their work, interesting to observe. We have a Sockeye Salmon Quartzite coping, Tahoe Blue mini pebble finish and a Silverstone "ocean" tile. Our new pool is gorgeous! We couldn't be happier! Also, as a side note, our next door neighbors also received bids from the same 3 contractors and also selected Taylor Made Pools. As a result, we received a multi project discount as well as a few really cool extras. Our pools were done simultaneously and our neighbor's is gorgeous as well. read more

Taylor-Made Pools did a fantastic job with our new pool. We had an existing pool that was in bad condition, and they helped us from start to finish.

Allen and his team completed a very challenging remodel of our 1959 pool with expertise and efficiency. The pool had been untended for over 20 years and needed extensive overhaul. Allen was able to guide us in pragmatic decision making which included integrating existing decking and basic design. He was patient with our questions and creative in his use of materials and equipment. We love the halogen lights placed at the side of the pool wall, and the Tahoe Blue mini pebble finish. Quartzite coping updated the style, along with Ocean Blue waterline tile from Silverstone. Allen and his crew were always on time, always cleaned up the site at end of workday, and demonstrated personal investment in the project. Work was finished on schedule, and the price was competitive with other bids. Allen was always available for phone calls, questions or updates, which made communication clear and easy. We are so pleased with the results of Taylor Made Pools and recommend them to anyone needing pool remodeling. read more
