ANOTHER project with JJ and Tropical Breeze Pools!! The pictures don't do it justice! Thank you for all the compliments and direct messages from our previous pool; I'm happy to report that we followed our own advice for all of you... GO BIG! Don and JJ understood our desires and design for our dream pool and they made it a reality. Always on time, responsive, and answered all my dumb questions. They're busy because they're awesome...But we waited and I'm Glad we did! Not only did Tropical Breeze save us tons of money, but also tons of stress because I knew we were in good hands and the attention they paid to every step of the work, all we had to do was wait to swim. Yes, we got other estimates... they were insulting! Don't waist your time with another contractor.. give Tropical Breeze a call and get started!! Here's the new pool!

I chose Tropical breeze after extensive research, and they exceeded my expectations. From the initial consultation to the final touches, their attention to detail was impeccable. The project manager kept me informed throughout, and the skilled workers displayed craftsmanship in every aspect. Despite the complexity, they adhered to the timeline, and the end result is a beautifully constructed inground pool that perfectly complements my backyard. Highly recommend for a seamless and top-quality pool construction experience. Finished the pool in 3 months. Don, JJ and Jose all are pleasant to work with!! Patel Family!!

JJ and his team did an amazing job on our pool. They took my vision and made it a reality. He kept me well informed from start to finish. The pricing was more than fair, and the work was done professionally and quickly. Every member of his team was outstanding! He has even taken the time to help me with any questions or concerns I had once the pool was completed. If you want to add a pool to your home, Tropical Breeze are the people you should call. Thanks again!!

Tropical Breeze Pools. We worked with Don twice. The first time we did not pull the trigger on getting the pool. A year and half later we called Don back up and everything changed. Covid!! Don was up front with us from the start with the issues that have caused delays and the challenges they have been facing getting projects started and completed. He gave us an estimated completion date of the first week of November 2021. Well it's now February 2022 and the pool is completed and looks great. Don and JJ kept us updated on the progress once they broke ground. I get and understand the delay as we are still seeing how Covid has affected just about every business industry today. Some of the delay was our choosing to do some extra hardscape work done that we did not plan on. But made a world of difference. JJ used great people throughout the project. Can't complain at all about the contractors JJ has used. Very friendly, professional and will answer any question you may have. Again we can't stress enough the great people that worked on our pool project. JJ was always attentive to our questions and responded in a timely manner. I don't get or understand the bad comments on JJ nickel and diming his customers. Please note materials cost money labor cost money, just realize changes that differ from your original design may incur addition costs. I recommend that you look at as many pool jobs online as you can find so that you know up front what you want done in your pool project before you call any pool contractor. Be as knowledgeable as you can. Also know your property elevation. I did not understand that some of the decision I made that affected future steps and potential problems in regards to elevation and that is the only thing I would recommend to JJ and Don is to let customers know about elevation from your yard and neighbors on certain choices you might make. With Covid and now the economy and material shortages be patient and expect delays that are beyond the contractors control. We could not be happy with how things progressed and how our pool turned out. Tropical breeze was by far the best bang for the buck. Many contractors measured our backyard and started quoting prices over $60k without even giving a sales presentation or design outline. They bid the job with intent of having to dig up big boulders out without knowing if any were present. Don took his time to go over what they offer what pool equipment they use. He was thorough in what we were getting. Not once did JJ try to alter the price of the original agreement or look for reasons to charge more try to sell us on any added features. JJ was professional every step of the way. His whole team was professional. Just so you know this was not a large pool project by any means and JJ never treated us any less important.

Tropical Breeze where do I start so many pros even with COVID-19 the job took longer then expected but with all obstacles J.J and team came through. The communication, safety, timeframe, tropical breeze construction crew and subs are knowledgeable and informative with every step. Thank you Tropical Breeze Custom Pools.

I bet he got his full commission and pool for how much he charged me  and considering some of these were on the original estimate.

Bid and everything was good. They were on time and finished when they said they would but they didn't put stuff where I wanted it. Then they started with that's extra and that's extra oh and that's extra and could never give me a price of how much extra. JJ is unprofessional and the salesman lied said I wouldn't need a pool a guy with the system I bought for the pool and then to top every off the pool heater was broken and not one of them could tell me that. I will never use them again. Buyer beware !! When I did get sent the chicken scratched invoice on all the so called extra's some of them were on the original proposal but yet i stilled owed them more money. Rip of artist if you ask me

Because of the large investment in building a pool, I will be giving a lot of information about our process, learnings, and experience with Tropical Breeze. Our first point of contact was Jennifer in the office. She was very professional and scheduled our visit with their sales guy, Matthew. Because they were so busy, the appointment was about a month away and was set for September 13th. Matthew came by and got some preliminary information about what we wanted from a design perspective and measured our entire backyard. He was very nice, and we ended up spending time talking about our families, local politics, and other miscellaneous things. He promised he would have a computer-generated design in about a week. A week later, Matthew followed up with his promise by emailing us some options and an estimate. After evaluating a variety of factors, we decided to go with Tropical Breeze. This was a very tough decision because the other pool builder was very professional and the price point was in the ballpark. A few major factors for the decision were that we had a neighbor up the street and a close friend who lives nearby used Tropical Breeze. We got their perspective on their experiences, and we were also happy to see that they completed both projects. On September 26, 2021, we signed a contract and gave our $1000 deposit. This began the process of acquiring permits, engineering, and blueprints. Due to the process of waiting for all these things and adding the holidays, our project did not start until mid-January 2022. Excavation: This process started on January 12, 2022, and was competed the following day. The team was very professional. This is the day we met the owner, JJ, and his superintendent, Wayne. A payment will be due based on your agreed terms in your contract. Traditionally, the excavation process can take from 1 to 3 days for a full-size tractor. Smaller tractors can take longer. Rebar/Plumbing: This process started on January 21, 2022. One professional (Angel) completed this work in 3 days (January 24, 2022). This is typical depending on the size of your pool and difficulty of the project. Angel did an amazing job! Plumbing started on February 15, 2022. Pablo, Ben, Q, and Alejandro worked tirelessly to get this completed. You need to know that this is when your equipment (filtration & pumps), water lines, spa lines, main drains, return lines, conduit for lights and electrical, and gas lines for heater are installed. Due to supply chain issues, only one pump was installed at that time, but our second pump was installed later in the process. For our build, we had the gas line run through the attic of our home so we could minimize breaking up driveway concrete and backyard concrete that had already been installed prior to our decision of building a pool. Running the gas through the attic takes some time because of the space you may have along with how long the run is between the gas meter and the heater. The crew was great to work with and very professional. Shotcrete: On March 11, 2022, the shotcrete crew, led by Arnulfo, attempted to start this process, but it was too windy (challenges of living in Fontana during the windy season). The crew was rescheduled to March 21, 2022, and again, mother nature decided to blow wind again. The unfortunate reality is that shotcrete really can't be installed if it is windy. The wind can blow the sand and cement from the jet stream. Another bad effect of wind is that it can cause cracking from drying shrinkage as well as from evaporative cooling. The wind can also blow unwanted matter that could blemish its appearance. The third reschedule was set for March 29, 2022. The crew showed up and I was afraid they were not going to be able to shoot the shotcrete due to it had rained the day before. Fortunately, the crew was able to complete the job. Electrical: Due to the pandemic, pool construction has been in high demand which has put a strain on pool equipment and supplies. With people not traveling as much, backyards have become retreats for many families. Electrical was started on May 17th and completed on May 18th. In an effort to get things moving, we elected to have a manual switch installed instead of the Pentair Smart application. Pebble Plaster: On May 25th, a crew was scheduled to pebble plaster the pool shell. It took the crew one day to install the pebble plaster and the second day to acid wash. Once the crew finished acid washing, we began to fill the pool. With two hoses and good water pressure, it took us about 16 hours to fill the pool. Conclusion All in all, we had a good experience with Tropical Breeze. Matthew (sales guy) is great to work with and Jose, one of the supervisors, is great to work with too. All the trades did a fantastic job and great to work with. Their prices are reasonable with today's fluctuation of supplies and cost, and they will start and finish your job.

We came across Tropical Breeze Custom Pools at the LA County Fair. Hanley came at the appointed time and designed the most amazing pool for our backyard. We didn't have funds at the time but the images of our future pool encouraged us to save. We called Hanley a year later. Just to make sure, we had three other estimates. Tropical Breeze was not the cheapest but not the most expensive. We checked with friends and relatives and confirmed that we were getting top quality equipment for a fair price. The employees were some of the most courteous people I've ever met. They were eager to please and answered every question we had. Four months after signing the contract we had our pool. We are in heaven! Bring on the Covid lockdown!

My husband and I are very happy with this company. Don Hubble our sales guy was very knowledgeable, friendly and honest. We had 3 estimates and Don was the only one who did not rush us through the presentation or push us into anything we did not want. We were kept up to date on every aspect of the project ( which due to this years rain in Calif was quite a process.) JJ, the owner and Wayne, the supervisor were great to work with. In fact every team that came out from the digging to the concrete and plaster was professional and reliable. Wayne the supervisor is such a down to earth guy. He was such a joy to work with. He answered all of our questions with a smile on his face ( and we did have a lot of questions). My husband is a residential contractor in Whittier and even he was happy with the process and the pool. Tropical Breeze also included pool service to come out for a period of time to show you how to use your pool filter and heater system! We went with a UV/ ozone system and we love it. Our pool water is so clean and sparkly. We have received so many compliments on our pool. We would highly recommend Tropical Breeze to anyone thinking of completing a pool and spa project.

Final inspection is completed. Wewould like to thank you all for a fantastic build . You have a great crew and our pool is just as designed and how we imagined. Thanks for your attention to detail and we hope for your continued success in the future. Sincerely Edward

Tropical Pool sent me designs that were nothing like what I asked for. I had even drawn the pool in paint over the entire grass area.
Jeff S.

I reached out to Tropical in Jan of 2021 wanting a pool. I had my own sketches and conveyed everything to them. I had stated at that time that I wanted a quote to have an 8ft area for my kids to dive. I got back junk designs that were nothing like the design in my sketches or even the painted lines I had put in my backyard. They even put the steps in very back of the yard instead of close to the house. It made no sense. We were working towards a design and price. It seemed like they were taking designs they already had and pasting them in my yard mockup. After a few revisions that were still wrong, I finally sent them my own design including all measurements and asked for a quote on it with the 8ft area option. Suddenly they stated their excavator was no longer doing any 8ft digs with walk-in gate access and they stopped responding to my emails (the builder I went with had no issues with an S70 excavator through my 3ft fence). I accepted that Tropical did not want to to the pool for whatever reason, but then I asked them to quote adding concrete to my driveway (which they had stated was their "bread and butter") and they never even bothered to respond. I have no idea what the problem was, but they wasted my time the whole way.

Slumped steps. Was told , "it happens".

COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF! JJ, nice guy. Shows up when money needs collected only. You pay before you see the work. Scammed us on concrete work(his bread and butter). Gave quote then padded the whole job(more than nickel and dining). His coping/concrete=sloppy. TBCP quoted our neighbors and ironically, the things that were "extra" for us were part of the deal with them. JJ is a smart business man for his level. He feels what people want and adapt$ to the change$. At the moment, we are in arbitration and legal battle with what he says he cannot fix. So, we are forced to go after him to rectify the work and go our separate ways. JJ TRULY HIDES BEHIND THE MASK:)

Ana S.

From conception to completion! We love the way the whole project turned out. It took a little longer due to COVID but it was worth the wait. Hanley came up with an awesome plan and JJ's team made it come to fruition. We are very happy with our final product!

The exterior looks great; however, it's the components that have issues and their service to fix issues is TERRIBLE.

See all

Good Life Pool Service

Finally found a solid pool guy ! My old pool guy could never get my pool clear and just finally…read moreghosted me .. tried to take care of it myself for a few weeks but no time ...Had a party going on and was out of town the for a week came back to a green swamp ...my neighbors pool is always clean! so I got the referral and called Eddie This guy knows what he's doing ! #happywifehappylife

Eddie came out to give us a quote and seemed friendly enough. That was about it. Every other word…read moreout of this persons mouth was an excuse as to why work was not being done. He said a part for my pool equipment needed to be serviced and replaced. When I told him that I had a home warranty that covered the equipment instead of letting him service the equipment directly, he became less than helpful. When I had the technician for my home warranty check the part, he said it needed lubricant, but I watched him service the part with my own eyes, and put the part back in one piece. Next thing I know, Eddie is complaining that the part is broken. At which point I told him that it had been serviced, and it was ready for him. He insisted that it was broken, and when I went out to verify, the part that I just saw placed back in the equipment was now broken in half. Please keep in mind that the only people to touch this equipment are the home warranty company, which placed it back in front of my eyes. I also had checked the equipment myself, and it was fine post repair. Then the person from this company comes out and now the part is differently SNAPPED IN HALF. I'm not sure if this was retaliation, or just improper handling, but I know that the home warranty company nor myself left that piece snapped in half. So, let's do the math. After which, I called the home warranty company BACK and they then replaced the NOW BROKEN backwash valve. In the meanwhile, I had paid Eddie to perform two filters cleans, one of which he hadn't completed, so I asked him for my money back for the time being as the service wasn't provided and I needed to make sure the funds were available in case needed for the repair. Then Eddie and his company GHOSTED ME. I have texted and called, left several messages, all trying to be kind and professional, none of which were returned. If you own a company, even if you don't want to provide service to a customer, at least handle your business properly and tell them just that. I don't want to provide service to you. Not hard, right? I mean, let's get mad because I didn't let you rip me off multiple times? I understand I have some issues that needed to be addressed. I have several dogs which I needed to dispose of my dogs waste, which was done when mentioned. However, how do you present yourself as a company, break the customers equipment, and then ghost on them? Watch out! Not very professional, and a little shady.
