We just finished a complete renovation of our pool with Oscar's Pool Service, and I can honestly…read moresay it was one of the best decisions we've made as homeowners. When we bought our house three years ago, we knew the pool needed to be redone. Unfortunately, because of other major repairs, we had to wait. Our house was a flip, and whoever patched up the pool before us did a quick, cosmetic job that started falling apart within months. The plaster came off in sheets, the 1960s tile was covered in decades of calcium buildup, the coping was old red brick with mortar literally crumbling out, and some jets and plumbing didn't even work. The pool was technically swimmable, but it was depressing to look at. This summer our weekly pool cleaner told us the plaster was about to fail completely, so we started calling around for estimates. Most of the big corporate companies gave us inflated quotes and made us feel like just another job number. A trusted friend recommended Oscar's, so we checked Yelp, saw all the great reviews, and gave him a call. Oscar came out immediately, took careful measurements, walked us through every detail, and his knowledge and professionalism instantly won our trust. From there, the process moved quickly. Within a week of signing, his crew demoed the entire pool in just a few hours. We got to choose tile from several suppliers and ended up with a beautiful pebble mosaic that matched our house. At first, we thought we'd keep the old red brick coping, but at the last minute we switched to a modern dark gray brick. Best decision ever! It completely transformed the look of our backyard. As often happens with older homes, surprises came up: our original 1964 gas and electrical lines were corroded and had to be replaced. Oscar handled everything--brought in trusted contractors, coordinated the work, and saved us the headache of dealing with multiple companies. While we were at it, we upgraded our equipment to a top-of-the-line Jandy system with Wi-Fi controls, plus added a heater and automatic pool filler. Yes, the budget went up, but every upgrade was worth it. Watching the transformation was amazing. Once the new tile, coping, and plaster went in, it felt like we had a brand-new pool built from scratch. The white plaster makes the water sparkle, the equipment runs quietly and efficiently, and with the heater and lights, we can swim comfortably day or night, year-round. Beyond the work itself, what made the experience so special was Oscar and his family. He's personable, honest, hardworking, and clearly cares about his craft. His crew was professional, respectful, and fast. By the end, it felt like we weren't just hiring a contractor--we were working with people who truly cared about making our home better. Now every time we step into our backyard, we can't believe the difference. What was once an eyesore is now the centerpiece of our home, and we're enjoying it constantly. If you need pool renovation, plaster, tile, coping, or even just reliable weekly service in the San Fernando Valley--call Oscar's. He's the best! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DKKSP_c4UY

The 3rd time I was asking questions about white streaks across the bottom of my pool. He said, and I quote, "I know exactly what kind of customer you are!" I said, plesse tell me, what kind of customer am I? He said the kind that complains about ecery little thing. I said "Billy, i have not complained once on this phone call. i have asked you questions about the bottom of our pool." I asked questions because we just spent $30,000 to have our pool resurfaced and there were no white streaks on the bottom of our pool when we hired Billy. We also asked questions once when our jacuzzi was not heating up and he spoke to my wife and I like we hadn't ever used our jacuzzi. He said the pool water was too high and cold water from the pool was keeping the jacuzzi cold. Ummmmmm, nope, we have kept our pool level the same for 15 years, and it has worked. But, no, Billy refused to even entertain our problem. I refuse to support a business that does not listen to customers. You should hire anyone but Authentic pool & spa. If you do, you will regret it, unless you are a man.

His pricing was also very reasonable. His partner, Alfredo, and their crew did an outstanding job. The project included replacing our 50-year-old concrete deck with new pavers, re-plastering the pool, installing new tile and plumbing, adding a new pool light, and building a Baja deck. The original timeline was four weeks from start to finish, and the project was completed just one week later due to a few additions we requested, including a new auto-fill system, Baja deck, drain lines, and electrical work. Ted also has excellent resources for selecting pavers and tile. Alfredo's crew is hardworking, detail-oriented, and takes great pride in their work. We highly recommend Ted and his team.
