    Backyard project
    Michael L.

    I contracted Pete to help with my backyard renovation project, which included a pool, jacuzzi, pergola, putting green, and concrete. Pete and his team (especially Joe Panella) did a fantastic job. They took care of all the paperwork which includes the permits and engineering. They also help you build a visual 3D design that you can see prior to the build to make sure everyone is on the same page. The permit part of the process took a long time but after that, his team was here getting the job done every week, and finished within 6 months. I definitely recommend using Pete for your project. Just be sure to be very detailed and patient. I let Pete do his thing and avoided actively managing any part of the project. Sometimes you might get worried that he forgot about you or something but Pete has it under control. Definitely also be conscious that there could be changes in prices due to materials, etc. Need to be prepared for that.

    We contacted Peter to build us a heated cocktail pool with spa jets, a gas fire pit, & a putting green. Peter & his team are experts at their jobs & each crew that came in to work were all very professional & nice. We have a disabled daughter so we designed the pool together around what we needed for her. The cocktail pool is the perfect size to lounge in & cool off in the summer & in the other months small enough to heat up fast & not make the electric bill outrageously high. Even the pool guy we hired to do our start up service was amazed with how well it was built & how good the equipment is. I would totally recommend Peter & his crew to build the backyard you are looking for.

    When we decided to have a pool built in our backyard, we had discussions with and received quotes from multiple builders (and you should too). Peter was the most transparent and down to earth of them all. He did not offer us the cheapest quote but he also didn't try to gloss over the cost of the project, he explained every step and seemed to really know his stuff and he's local, so we chose him. Peter jumped started the process right away for a small pool, spa, deck and even a new retaining wall to expand our backyard. I was very nervous about starting such a large project but Peter handled every detail, including our city's painful permit process and listened to all of our concerns...and we had a ton. The full process did take longer than expected due to delays in permits plus this was done in 2020, need I say more. Our new backyard is now so inviting! We are extremely happy with it and cannot wait for those long summer days to get here. Until then we are enjoying our spa in this amazing California winter weather. Peter and his entire team are very good at what they do but a project of this scale does not come without stress and anxiety. Peter did such a good job trying to keep my nerves in check, assuring us that everything would work out and not to worry. And he was right, every issue that surfaced, he made sure it was taken care of. Through this process Peter was always the same, down to earth guy that we first met, we even got to meet his amazing kid and his handsome dog. Do yourself a favor and at least call Peter out for a quote and don't settle for less.

    Peter and his team have been a great group to work with. They were on time, professional, and highly responsive, even through this challenging global supply chain crunch. They helped our dream become a reality and it turned out even better than we could have imagined

    ***FINAL REVIEW*** PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND READ THIS REVIEW COMPLETELY!!! Werth Builders has done EXACTLY what they said they would do and it is what we agreed to get done over the course. But I am going to use Yelp for which it is intended a true review and experience. I am not going to take away from the workmanship of the pool and deck with the exception of the pool bottom. I had to re-drain the pool and was disappointed to never have heard from Peter to follow up on his subcontractors and check on the bottom. I now have to complete my own repair on the botched acid wash job from excess acid not being rinsed away and the black bottom is less than expected....but this final is more about their process and communication and Peter's lack of. I want to liken my experience with Peter and his business as successful but like going to the dentist.... you will get fixed, AND it will be better, but the road to getting there runs the risk of pain depending on how you get numbed up. The final product is beautiful except the bottom (stay away from dark bottom and quartz), however iron out the details in front of you! Get a scope of work even if generalized (unless it doesn't matter and you just want to jump in when it is hot) There are all kinds of choices for equipment, pool plastering and trades involved. I was not a fan of Alex over the course... he started strong but the mess and questions that were left in his wake daily got to be unbearable and unsanitary .... i will simply leave it at that. Memo and his team were the fixers... which they did and were clean and respectful of the property. The communication was less than desirable myself and Peter had a few less than pleasurable conversations but the professionalism bled through when needed and we were able to push through. Too many people that were involved that didn't have the authority to make the needed correct decisions or provide the expectation... Peter is the business and has a responsibility to update the owners of these projects as things change and spot check his guys. As a homeowner/customer on a project this size and (at least to me a considerable sum of money) i want to know what is next and what i am to expect, so if it is not as expected we can address and move forward. If the details are ironed out and you know exactly what you are getting he is your man- if not plan on being involved and asking a lot of questions. Things that can bite if not addressed: This is with any contractor so not strictly a Werth issue... BTW Werth did not gouge me for this, it was like the dentist hitting a nerve then realizing he needs to numb that spot. work out deck colors, textures and finishes and make sure they are qualified to do what you are asking (remember that concrete is VERY different than what you see on your ipad this in light of my concrete background and everyone needs to know) make sure the final set of drawings is what gets used and get detailed drawings of your vision who is paying for pool fence? who is paying for permits? who is paying for the pool start up? who is paying for equipment programming if any? what additional alarms are needed and when? get setup with a local pool supplier and have water tested prior to accepting your pool from your contractor I want to thank Peter but believe that there have been takeaways for everybody from this project. Would I recommend Peter for another job? Yes with the details clear ***START OF ORIGINAL REVIEW*** This is going to be a diary review. For the next 120 days we will be in a relationship with Peter and so far the intro, follow up and flexibility has been 5 star... as we progress the ratings will be based on the phase of the job at that time! We will report the good the bad and the ugly (if there is ugly ). I called Peter yesterday and within a day my schedule was accommodated, job bid, price accepted and timeline put in place. We are having a full backyard retreat with fire pit, spa, pool and deck and told 10-31 should be achievable and within an agreed budget! Next phase is design and site work! Stay tuned!!!!!

    We had several companies give us bids for our project. Some were higher and some were lower. We hired Peter based off his yelp reviews and the feeling we got when we first met Peter. We did a complete backyard remodel. The workmanship is top notch and the workers were very respectful. There were a couple bumps in the road, but that is expected with any contractor. Peter is a man of his word and fixed any and all issues that came up. Alex and his crew were very easy to deal with, and gave us some good ideas throughout the project that we did not think about. We were very involved in our project and the communication with Alex was very good.

    Peter and his team built the backyard oasis of our dreams. We had a small space to work with but Peter maximized it and gave us everything we hoped for. The work was done quickly and of great quality, and we're thrilled with the final product. I highly recommend hiring Peter to build you the pool of your dreams.

    My suggestion is to let our research be your gain! We interviewed quite a few contractors to do our backyard and can say Peter was very competitively priced and was an amazing partner through the entire process. Our project included removing a large area of grass and some concrete and replacing it with a fire pit, seating wall, bbq area with a bar and a patio cover. Peter also had the idea to add a planter wall, which we had not thought of and he was right...it looks amazing. At first I was skeptical because I like to see line item details, blue prints and have it all tie together. Peter stated he could provide those but it would take some time and add additional costs. He stated if I were to trust him we would see he will deliver exactly what we want on time and on budget. Well, we decided to trust him and are so glad we did. We did not pay a dime over what was quoted, the project was completed early and we are extremely happy with the final outcome. We met with Peter of 4th of July weekend on a Saturday morning. Within an hour after that meeting to our surprise Peter and Alex returned. Peter wanted us to meet Alex as he is the foreman of the team and would be the one we would see daily if we decided to move forward. Alex and Peter took us to the backyard, walked through what we had discussed and drew some painted lines around to help us visualize it. We were sold and signed up. (We had done a lot of research prior so we knew the price he had offered was competitive and we had not met anyone who worked as quickly as this) The next day, a Sunday on a holiday weekend, Alex and team showed up in the morning and by noon they had our backyard demo completed and were ready to start building it back up after the holiday. We were very clear we didnt want to lose the whole summer with no backyard and the agreement was they would be done in no more than 4 weeks. We have had a lot of contracting work done on our house and my wife was not very happy with a lot of their attitudes towards her if she were to ask questions or ask to make a change. Unfortunately we have found you dont know you want a change until you see things being built!! It is impossible to understand exactly what things will look like..in all other cases any time she wanted something changed there was a corresponding charge. NOT with Peter and Alex. The awesome part of working with them is they partner with you!! They actually asked for her opinion on things before they do something and if there needed to be a change...they made it...NO CHARGE! This included our decision to shorten the patio roof area and enlarge the BBQ space which I was certain would have cost extra...but nope...they just made the change and moved on... I cant say enough about Alex as the foreman. He and his team were on time, hard working, polite and always went the extra mile. They did little things I would have never expected such as took out and brought in our trash cans at the end of the day, spent time hand watering our front yard because the sprinklers had to be disconnected as they did work in the backyard and at the end of every day they would sweep, hose things down and kept our yard orderly during the entire process. I could keep going but I think you can get the picture. The last thing I will emphasize is the job was completed by the end of July...beating the agreed upon time! I recommend Peter and his team to anyone looking for a contractor. If I were you I would stop searching and use Peter and team!

    The first meeting with Peter went well.He talked to us about the process,ideas,finishes and listened to what we were looking for.I had drawn a rough plan of what we wanted in the back yard and he made it our reality. There were some hiccups on the way,but that is construction. Overall my family and I are very happy with the outcome.

    Pool
    Kurt V.

    Peter Werth built us a beautiful pool and backyard space. He cares deeply about giving his clients the pool and space they want and will do what it takes to make that happen. The crew he uses from top to bottom are top notch - they work so hard and do really quality work. The only reason this is not a 5-star review is because the communication and scheduling was sometimes a problem. It may not be for everyone but we have dogs and work full time so we needed to know when the workers would be there to plan ahead. Due to the demands of other jobs, availability of materials, etc., it is not always easy to know much in advance but this was a problem at times. Having said that, he always responded to me when I reached out and I always felt attended to. The only other advice I would offer is to make it very clear in your contract when the periodic payments are due based on the phase of work being completed and make sure your plans and conversations with Peter accurately reflect exactly what you want to avoid delays and potential increased costs. All in all though, we have a beautiful backyard space and it was great having a contractor who cared about giving us that.

    Peter & his crew built the backyard of our dreams! I couldn't be happier with the finished product. It was a huge job! We had 7,000 sf of weeds in the backyard & he turned it into an oasis. We put in a 70x20 freeform pool with a cascading spa, water features, fire bowls. A very large 15 person fire pit , two 20 ft long custom built BBQ islands & a beautiful 25x25 pavilion with an outdoor fireplace. All of this surrounded by pavers & great landscaping. I highly recommend Werth builders for any project big or small. His guys Memo, Rene & jesse were a pleasure to work with! Very professional & experienced company.

    I am currently in negotiation with Peter on correcting the poor craftsmanship on our job. However he is very okay with it. See video and text message. That is his voice those are his words.

    Peter and his team did a great job building our dream jacuzzi. It took a little longer than expected due to issues with the City, permits, gates, etc. But I have to say it was totally worth the wait. We love it. The attention to detail was wonderful. They were able to match our existing stonework on the new spa. I highly recommend.

Last year, we needed our pool slide scrapped and re-coated as the initial construction of the slide was done poorly. We asked Paul if this is something his company does and he said yes. Tells us he'll send his stone guy to take a look at it. I emphasized that I wanted to use whatever material would last us the longest. He quoted us about $2k. It's steep, but we know Paul and trusted him (or so we thought). It has been a year almost exactly and the coating they did is now peeling. We reach out to Paul about remedying this and he's basically washing his hands of it, saying that he has no affiliation with the person/company he sent out and that he had called his stone guy. I've attached photos of what the slide looked like before, after, and now and part of our conversation where he explicitly stated his workers and not some referred outside company. We paid the invoice sent through Beachfront, not some 3rd party he claims to not be affiliated with. This is not to mention that our pool has had issues with algae for the last 2 months and they claim that it was a pipe leak which we paid for to be fixed and look at the state of our pool now still. I would stay far away from this company. I don't know why they have so many stars but my experience with Paul and Beachfront have been disappointing and expensive.

Couldn't be happier with how it turned out. Our project manager Tamir was exceptional -- responsive, organized, and clearly invested in the quality of the work. He kept the job moving at a surprisingly fast pace and promptly resolved issues as they arose. Pricing was competitive -- we got multiple estimates and Way To Go came in reasonable without cutting corners. You can see it in the finish quality: the stonework is clean, the tile on the curved bench is precise, and the side yard pathway turned out better than we imagined. Our pool cleaner gave high praise on the resurfacing work when he arrived for the first cleaning! Highly recommend for anyone looking to transform their outdoor space -- quality work, fair pricing, and a timeline that'll surprise you.

The remodel included changing the old plaster to mini pebble, installing new tile, adding a new LED pool light, and doing the deco seal around the pool. The finish came out great and it completely refreshed the look of the pool. Once all the materials were ordered and ready, the actual work was completed in about a week, which I was really happy about. Tamir kept everything organized and the crew stayed on schedule. I also appreciated that he was able to accommodate a couple of last-minute additions I requested during the project and made sure everything was taken care of. The crew did solid work and the pool looks great now. I'm happy with how everything turned out and would recommend Way To Go Builders if you're planning a pool remodel.

    We hired Platinum Pools after weeks of meeting with and getting bids from lots of (both big and…read moresmall) pool building companies.  This being our first pool, we wanted to make sure we made the right decision on a contractor.   From the first phone call we felt very comfortable with Dennis (also the owner).  He was very knowledgeable and came out (himself vs sending a sales person like many of the other companies did) the very next day to visit the site and meet.  From that initial meeting we knew he was our guy and the hunt was over.  He was knowledgeable, realistic, and we felt we could trust him and his work.  He even offered to take us to jobs he completed nearby to see the workmanship and speak to other past clients.     Once we signed the contract with Dennis, we hit the ground running.  We met with his designer/plan preparer the very next day.  The designer (and Dennis) was able to take my (crazy and all over the place) ideas and vision and turn it into something better than I imagined.  We even added a built-in fire pit and BBQ counter to the design which I am SOOO happy we did.    Within days after permits in hand, demo began and everything moved quickly.  His crews are polite and respectful and know what they are doing.  Their mason (I think his name is Sergio) is a true artist and my kids loved watching how patient and particular he completed each task from installing the pool tiles and coping to building the BBQ area.   Unfortunately, it rained for about a week after the steel was installed in the pool so we had to put things on hold for a few extra days until it passed.  Once the rain was gone, Dennis and the project manager Deny were here bright and early with water pumps and had the project back on track in no time.     Before hiring Platinum Pools I had already picked out the tile that I wanted to use to go around the pool area that I saw in a showroom at MSI.  I didn't even think about how slippery this could get once water gets involved (later I realized the tile I wanted was for indoor use only, I had no idea there was a difference).  We are so grateful Dennis and his awesome designer brought this to our attention at our initial meeting and recommended a porcelain tile by Pera Tile that is made specifically for pool decking... it has a special magic grip already added to it so its WAY less slippery when wet.  It looks almost exactly the same (I actually like it better) and it was less expensive!   It would have been a nightmare going with the tile I was set on having kids running around the pool area.   Needless to say, our experience with Platinum Pools has beyond exceeded our expectations.  Our finished backyard looks amazing!  Dennis and/or Deny were in constant communication with us, kept us in the loop of the scheduling, what to expect, answered our questions in a way we could understand, and even got the project completed two weeks faster then promised.  From the initial meeting, to the designer, their crews, to the final walkthrough we have been impressed.  We are so glad we choose Dennis and recommend Platinumm Pools to anyone looking to upgrade their space

    Just wanted to say thank you to the team for bringing my backyard to life. They built my new pool,…read morespa, patio, and full landscape from the ground up. The quality, communication, and attention to detail were on point. Highly recommend if you want it done right and correct price.
