5 Star Review for Vista Pools We recently completed our pool project with Vista Pools, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. Scott and JJ were fantastic during every phase -- initial contact, planning, pool selection, installation, and final walkthrough. With their guidance, we chose the Thursday Pools Aspen model (35×16) in Caribbean Sparkle. They clearly explained the pros and cons of each option, helped us understand what would work best for our yard, and were always willing to answer questions promptly and honestly. The installation process was flawless. The crew was professional, efficient, and respectful of our property. The pool was set perfectly, the equipment layout was clean, and there were no issues whatsoever during the build. Another major positive was their transparent payment schedule. Each payment aligned with a real project milestone, which added a level of trust and clarity that many contractors lack. Vista Pools delivered top tier service, craftsmanship, and communication. Scott and JJ truly went above and beyond. Highly recommended. read more

Vista Pools built us an absolutely incredible custom pool, and I can't recommend Scott, JJ, and their team highly enough. I'm a lifelong swimmer, so I wasn't looking for a typical backyard pool. I wanted a large custom gunite / plaster pool with a full 25-yard lap lane, a shallow end, and enough space for the family to enjoy it too. Several neighbors had used Vista for fiberglass pools and had great experiences, so I reached out. Scott understood what I was trying to build right away. He put together a quote and an initial design, and after some back-and-forth, we had a plan that looked fantastic. We also walked through it at WalkYourPlans, which helped us make a few final adjustments before construction started. Once they got moving, they REALLY got moving. Within about a week, we had an enormous hole in the yard, and from there the work was nearly nonstop. Anyone who's dealt with contractors knows how unusual that is. Crews showed up, work got done, and the project kept progressing. I honestly couldn't believe how quickly and smoothly everything moved. We also made a significant change to the shallow end during the project, and they were able to accommodate it without throwing the entire schedule off. The quality of the work was excellent across the board. A friend with metalworking experience looked over the rebar and was very impressed. The gunite and plaster turned out beautifully. The tile crew nailed the lap-lane markings exactly the way I wanted them. My only small regret is that we didn't choose darker marker tiles on the stairs, but that's a design choice on our end, not a problem with the workmanship. Vista also selected a full Hayward equipment setup for us, including filtration, lighting, heating and cooling, automation, and saltwater chlorination. Everything has worked together very well. We started with the normal new-plaster process and switched over to saltwater afterward. One thing I'd tell anyone considering a large gunite / plaster pool is to take the startup and maintenance seriously. The bigger the pool, the more water chemistry and cleaning you're dealing with. During the first month, daily brushing is essential. Honestly, twice a day is even better if you can manage it. Keeping dirt and debris off the new plaster takes effort, and it's definitely a workout. Vista will get you started and answer questions, but after the handoff, maintaining the water becomes your responsibility. Buy a good test kit and the proper cleaning tools before the pool is finished. If you enjoy learning how everything works, you'll probably have fun with it. If not, budget for professional pool service. For me, this pool has genuinely been life-changing. I knew I'd enjoy having one, but I didn't realize how much it would mean to have a lap lane available whenever I wanted it. It turns out this was basically a lifelong dream I hadn't fully recognized until it was finished. Scott and JJ delivered something truly special for us. The pool looks amazing, works beautifully, and has completely changed how we use our home. I'd hire Vista Pools again without hesitation. read more

Scott and JJ are wonderful people and I highly recommend Vista pools to anyone. From start to finish their team takes great care of their customers and provides great value throughout the whole project. Everything we asked for we got! read more

Our family's pool journey began with an 8-foot diameter, 700-gallon stock tank that we put an above-ground pool filter on during the summer of 2020, partially as a test to see if the kids would really use a pool but also as a distraction from the crazy COVID era. It was a total hit, so we started talking about in-ground pool options during late Spring 2021. Not necessarily sold on the idea of a fiberglass pool, we reached out to a manufacturer for more info on them as part of our due diligence and received an email from Vista Pools within less than an hour which led to a phone call and some preliminary ballpark info then a formal quote followed. Over the course of the next 6 weeks and consultations with several other area pool builders, Scott patiently indulged all our questions and even provided a recommendation for a vinyl liner pool builder when we told him we thought we were going to go that direction. At the end of the day though, and hearing many pool building horror stories, we felt the higher-priced investment of going the fiberglass route thru Vista Pools was worth the additional expense because Scott was the only pool builder we consulted with that we felt we could truly trust to do the job right. By the end of July 2021, we were under contract and our pool was ordered from the manufacturer with an anticipated late 2021/early 2022 dig date. Our dig started late January and 9 weeks later the project was finished. Scott was very communicative throughout the entire process, always letting us know when his crews would be onsite working, and was onsite & hands-on when he needed to be. Not to mention, all the calls/texts he answered during the entire process! Scott's crews that worked on the different phases of the build were all trustworthy, respective of us and our property, and worked hard to get the job done right and on time. And let's talk about integrity- they made us aware of problems that popped up during the build that we wouldn't have ever noticed on our own then put in the time and effort to make them right. That was the a-ha moment we knew we chose the right company for the job. Throughout the entire process, invoicing and the payment schedule was very transparent and easy which helped cutting such large checks less stressful. Vista made sure the pool was cleaned properly and we knew how to operate everything prior to "handing over the keys" so we felt confident in being new pool owners. Even after project completion, Scott still makes himself available to answer all of our new pool owner questions regarding the operation of our pool equipment, water chemistry, etc! If we had to do it all over again, we wouldn't change a thing. And we recommend Vista Pools all the time to anyone who will listen. read more
