This review is long overdue, as Thomas Pools and Spa completed our pool in February 2022. We pursued bids from multiple companies but decided on Thomas Pools because they are a family-owned business, and we couldn't be happier with that decision. Kaytea managed a portion of our build; she was professional and easy to communicate with. I can't say enough good things about her and the exceptional level of service she provided. I asked several questions throughout the build, yet she was always happy to answer. Charlie and Jimmy built our incredible grotto and our deck. We discussed our design with Charlie, and he delivered. He was as excited as we were about the project and was more than happy to give us additional ideas regarding our design. Similar to Kaytea, Charlie was always happy to answer our questions. Everyone else was also great to deal with, including Ryan, Shane, Rick, the staff in the office, and especially the owner Todd. When the owner comes and ensures that portions of the build are moving as planned, you know you are in good hands. Todd would go above and beyond for any questions or concerns to ensure they were always answered. The professionalism and level of service of this builder are unmatched! If I ever build another pool, I will use this Thomas Pools again.

Couldn't be happier with our pool. Communication needed improvement but got better during the process. Every single person involved with the build (including their contractors) we're so so kind and efficient. From dirt to an oasis, it took ours two months only! We were able to get many swims in before the temps dropped. The beauty of your pool is significant, but the hard work behind it, is key. Thank you so much Thomas pools and spas. Overall: * organized * fast and efficient * price was affordable vs other pool companies

Same as above

So now Thomas Pools is denying the fact that Rebecca, their office person, has fielded any calls, email or texts from me regarding all of the above issues I listed. Todd himself told me MONTHS AGO that Thomas Pools would be removing the extra concrete. They took it upon themselves to remove old concrete I had and created a different design due to it "looking weird"...that's a direct quote from Todd...but leave a fairly big eyesore worth of concrete that they broke? Comical. And offensive. Essentially calling me a liar about contacting them because I HAVE to assume they checked with Rebecca, and still said they have no indication I've reached out with concerns. I also see no mention of the crazy amount of dirt they left and just conveniently spread out over my lawn. I'm attaching screenshots of text conversations I had with Rebecca who was my point of contact. We also spoke on the phone a lot as well. I didn't realize it was necessary to call or text the owner of the company every day for something the point of contact was handling. Rebecca assured me Paula would call me, which never happened clearly since Paula is alleging that I haven't lodged any complaints. Rebecca also stated that Paula was very upset because there apparently are a lot of jobs that hadn't been completely finished and that she was going to talk to Todd about it and get back to me. She also assured me that Todd or someone else would come back to show me how to use my pool equipment, which still hasn't happened. These are Rebecca's words. Not surprised about one hand not talking to the other. So again, I've already paid a contractor to remove concrete that Todd told me he would have removed. He told me they would also remove the dirt once concrete had been poured and they were assured of not needing any more of it....dirt is STILL here. And since I wrote my original review, they have STILL not reached out to "clear up misinformation". Lately there are several other bad reviews of this company. I've also had other folks reach out to me regarding my review and sharing similar frustration with Thomas Pools. I had no problem paying each step of the way despite my concerns but again, I am not paying until the job is finished. Feel free to CALL or TEXT me, Paula. Rebecca assured me you would.

As of 8/15 demo of the backyard and dig have been completed. Ryan has been great to work with, he is very responsive to our calls/texts. Katie has also kept us up to date, we appreciate the communication. The demo and dig crew completed in two days, the crew was very professional and cleaned the site once completed. Ryan also went above and beyond and helped us put our fence back up, we truly appreciate him going the extra mile.

Rebar and shaping ready for cement. The long 2x4 is holding the deck drain.

Update as of 3/26 Things have overall been going good. A lot has been done and I would say we are about 80% done. There have been some concerns that I have brought up and Todd the owner came out to wither fix it or explain things to me. Becca who works in the office has been AWESOME!! She has been keeping us updated and letting us know when workers are coming. She for sure is a big asset at Thomas Pool. She also came on her own time to bring us our rock earlier before they installed it so that we could seal it with a special chemical sealer. I don't know to many places or people that do this. Now the only negative for me at this point was that at the beginning of this build I let Ryan and Becca know that I wanted things done right and not rushed like other pools builders may do, but I did ask for the pool to be completed by the end of March 2021 and it looks like we may be a couple of weeks past that which is kind if a bummer. Things were moving very smoothly even with Covid, however it seemed that after the holidays things really slowed down. I want to believe there is a reason for this, but it seems like there have been time with a 1 or 2 week gap were another job coukd have been going on. It also didn't help that the custom waterfall features we ordered had to come from Pentair who's factory that builds them were closed until January 14. So all in all with everything going on, it's been good I would say. The best work so far has been done by the tile guys and cement crew. The color we added to cement is called Omaha Tan. It looks much nicer in person I think. Here are the latest pictures as all the tile/rock work was completed yesterday 3/25. I will post again once quartz goes in and pool is completed and update my review and star rating as needed. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions.

Wow! Just simply wow! If I could give 10 stars I would. This company was simply amazing from the beginning until the end. Kaytea was amazing when we first met her for a quote. She was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions as a first time pool buyers. She put together couple of different 3D sketches and helped us in our decision making. You always hear nightmares from other pool owners about the process, how sometimes a pool company goes weeks, even months before the next phase. This was not the case with Thomas pools. Once the design was finalized, the digging started shortly after. We live in a new development and other pool companies told us they needed to take down our fences to be able to dig and dump the dirt out. With Thomas and pools, they had a small bobcat that dig up the pool in 2 days without taking out the fence. The only thing that they needed to remove was the side door gate which is understandable. With us always being at work during the day, Todd, the owner of the company kept us up to date with everything that was happening. He was extremely professional and always helpful. I could text or call him at anytime and we would return the call/text the same day. The pool was completed in 7-7 1/2 weeks which was incredible! We had some small hiccups along the way just like any other project, Todd and his team would come by the next day and address/fix those issue. Another nightmare is after the pool is done, that we would never be able to reach the pool company to fix issues. This is not the case with this company. We addressed some issues with cracked concrete, and dusty pool bottom after the initial fill up, and Todd was over the house personally to fix all those issues within a day. Todd personally has be over the house for the set up of our system, salt water pump, I have seen him in the backyard even cleaning our pool when we did not ask for it. He showed us how to use the equipment, walking us through all the functions. We absolutely LOVE our pool! We highly recommend using Thomas Pools for your pool needs. My apologies for the long review, I just wanted to make sure I could justify giving them 5 stars.

This is the corner

in October we contacted this company for a pool costing $65,000 which we approved. The construction company who dug it out and did the gunite work and tile was awesome. but because of miss communication on the company's part the tile that was to be in the steps didn't get installed and the guys who was to do the rails took wrong measurements and took I've a month. when the came back to put rails in the guys broke the cement and from drilling a bigger holes drilled into the pipe. finally after another month rail was put in but noticed that underneath they did cement the corner where the tile is wasnt fixed. have contacted them many time with no prevail. very bad on communicating and responding to repairs from their mistakes. but they were paid in full. also the man who was to dial in the chemicals never showed up on many occasions which cause the pool only 2 months old to get black mold due to critically low salt. he never came to correct the issue so we went with another pool company for maintaining it. caution when hiring this company. Ottther then thes issues pool is beautiful but should have these problems after paying the cost.

So far pretty happy they are very professional. We understand that it is taking a little longer due to the COVID. Quick to respond to any questions you have. Started off ruff with communication but has gotten better. You need to be flexible with time .

Our beautiful pool from Thomas pools

Thank you Thomas pool. Todd and his crew did a fantastic job. The pool came out better than what we expected. They did everything we ask for. We highly recommend them to anybody.

Digging day

See all

COMPLETE DISASTER We…read morewere referred to Empire Pools, aka Oscar Zamudio Sanchez, by another contractor who could not take the job for health reasons. It was the worst referral we've ever received. Oscar's crew drained our pool into our neighbor's yard, which likely would have flooded their house had we not intervened. They demolished a rock wall we specifically told Oscar to preserve. And much of the work Oscar did was completely inadequate. He also vanished from the job for weeks at a time. Even worse, Oscar requested a $20,000+ deposit for work he had not completed, which is prohibited by California law. When we eventually told him we needed to find a new contractor given his poor work and lack of diligence, he had spent all the money we paid him up front. We eventually filed a small claims case against him and received a judgment, which he has made no effort to pay after 6 months. We also filed a complaint with the state licensing board. In that process, we learned that Oscar's contractor's license is already suspended due to his failure to pay an arbitration award in another matter. The information is public on the CA Contractors State Licensing Board web site. Who knows if we will ever recover the money he took from us, but anyone thinking of hiring Empire Pools should understand his history.

However, I feel it's only fair that I leave reviews for all the contenders even when they weren't selected. Unique pools came over and after hearing me out, they provided me with tips on what would look better with the space provided. After a day or two they submitted their bid and although it was very competitive, I didn't get any 3d designs. So even when it looked good on paper, I just couldn't picture the final design. I did get an email from Lupe inquiring about my decision, but by then I had already decided on another company who did provide 3d designs and came in within my budget. I would recommend Unique Pools and what I would do different next time around is shoot them an email and ask for 3d renderings. Who knows maybe it was a quick request but I never asked for it.

We were patient enough that our phone calls and text messages were not responsive to unique pool designs.

At that moment in time as we were discussing quotes. They could have said, sorry we can not complete your project, but yet we get strung along, with I'll forward the message and before you know it, there is no message, no follow, no nothing! They must not want our business, this is a bad reputation in bad customer service skills.
