They were always quick to respond to our questions, kept us informed throughout the project, and provided exceptional customer service every step of the way. Marie was also great about keeping us updated on dates and times, which made the entire process even easier. Every contractor and crew member who worked on our pool was professional, friendly, and did excellent work. It was clear that everyone took pride in what they do, and the quality of the finished product reflects that. Our pool turned out even better than we imagined, and we are so grateful to the entire Premier Pools team for making our backyard dream a reality. We highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool project!

I live on a one way road and they promptly backed into my driveway to avoid disrupting traffic. They craned the hot tub and efficiently hooked up the electrical and got the tub running in no time.

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.

Why do you insist on covering a lie with a lie…read more First, Why are most wood burning stoves not UL listed? There are several standards that wood burning stoves must meet. UL listing is not a required standard for stoves, so most manufacturers elect not to have that testing done.. The UL laboratories are a private nonprofit organization that some manufacturers elect to send their products too. This certification can be costly and because the certification is not necessary for wood stoves, most manufacturers do not submit their product to Underwriters Laboratories for approval. There are only three wood-burning stoves that are UL listed Second, the only certification needed is when you install a new wood stove and that requirement is a stove certified by the EPA Third, older wood stoves are grandfathered in and there is no fire code that exist that states that you must upgrade to a new wood-burning stove when you buy or sell. If you do change out the stove, then it must be upgraded to an EPA certified stove Finally, there are manufacturers data plates that are on wood stoves that show the minimum clearances from stove to combustible materials. This particular stove met all the minimum distance requirements to combustible materials. Yes, the fireplace surround was ugly, however it was a cement fiber board that is a non-combustible material. In addition, the stove flue was exposed for the first 5 feet and is of a triple wall design which has a higher heat value. So I stand by my claim that your inspections are fraudulent, froth with misinformation, with intent to upsell or some new products to the person's home that you inspect.

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. All in all, thank you!

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.
