If you have a spa and needs to fix it don't try anyone else. This is the best company I have ever worked with to get my hot tub fixed. They will save you time and money.

Fantastic. I switched to Sterling some two years ago for both pools. Professional. Clean pool. Accurate on repair estimates (for things like the sweeper). They also installed my pool equipment at my current course after we did a major remodel. About $14,000 (back in spring of 2015). Everything works great. The owner is very responsive.

They have very knowledgeable service technicians. They show up regularly every week. When I call and ask a question or want some extra service they provide it. Their price is competitive.

On Phone, lots of reasons why couldn't even try. Also company is less than 10 miles away and it was too far to come to us!

Sterling Pool was able to diagnose the problem and then replace the pump professionally within few days after we first contacted them for our serious pool issue, while other service providers would have scheduled a much later date.

Homan is very professional, responsive, and punctual. He came by for a quote and deducted the consultation fee when I had the work done a couple of months later. He and his staff were quick and did a great job. He is very knowledgeable and is a great resource for pools. He is trustworthy and ensures the job is done right. He is honest about what his limitations are and the areas where he doesn't quite have the expertise (that to me is a real sign of a professional).

Fantastic. Homan and his assistant have always shown up on time, give accurate estimates and really know their stuff. Homan is "super' customer oriented and takes time to teach novices like me how the programming of a pump is done. They are efficient, show up on time, and cost competitive. I would recommend them for pool repair without reservation to anyone needing equipment repairs in the South Bay. Homan ROCKS!

Excellent service all the way around. Sterling was able to help us quickly - much sooner than other service providers. Showed up right on time, with the right part, and fixed the problem promptly. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks!

Response from Sterling Pool Supplies & Service Inc

"(Removed member name) called us on July 31th for an free estimate on pool filter & pool pump installation which he had purchased himself over the internet. We showed up on August 3rd within the 2 hour scheduled time frame that was given to him for a free estimate. Our manager wrote the proposal with the prices itemized and the installation labor clearly written on the proposal. He did accept the proposal and signed for the job to be completed at the time.. We went back on Wednesday August 5th between 2-4 pm to install his pool equipment (this was the time the installation was scheduled with him & we were there on time). Job was completed as requested and the final bill was exactly as per estimate which he had signed for earlier. I'm not sure what it is about the cost of the job that (Removed member name) didn't like resulting in giving us an "F" since he was fully aware ahead of the time about the cost of the equipment installation and he had the option to go with another company if he was not happy with our pricing without any sort of commitment to us as this was a free estimate. We were on time on occasions showing up on our appointments and not sure (Removed member name) displeasure was with the job we did since we never got a call about any problems out there after the job was complete just like him not leaving comments or reasons about why his displeasure with the job we did. We aim100% to please every customer we do a job for and are willing to go back as many times as necessary to correct any problems that they may see. But it makes it very difficult when you only realize this through reviews and even then there is no reason as to why this was?"

Sterling came out and installed a new RayPak Pool Heater for us earlier this month. We found them here on Angie's List and the reviews were positive so we went with them. Not disappointed. We have had a lot of work done in the last year and it's very rare to have the Job done right the first time without hassles.  They take pride in their work and the work they did was far superior to the folks that had originally installed our Polaris Pump. In fact, when I pointed out to them how badly the pump had been installed they took it upon themselves to re-install the old pump to the proper location and even re-pipe it correctly! Now that's good service! 
As for the installation that they did? Pretty much perfect. It's a great heater too. Very quiet and very powerful. If I want to pick nits, there were some surface scratches on the metal cabinet, but I was able to get them mostly off with Goo Gone. Otherwise, it was installed perfectly straight on a pedestal that they provided and it looks very professional. I would definitely use them again for anything Pool equipment related. They did my Sister's Pool Heater too, and she was very happy with them as well. 
Overall, I'd give them a 5 star rating. They carry top brand equipment at a fair price and the quality of work is well above par. If you are looking for someone who is responsible, and cares about the quality of their work and their reputation you have found them. I would not hesitate to recommend Sterling Pool.

Our pool is aged. The fiber glass is wearing out. The pumps were 20 years old. The skimmer had not had a weir or a float valve in years. As new owners to the home we did not know what was missing only that the system was out of date and not doing a good job. There was algae haze on the walls and dirt on the bottom. The existing pool cleaning service did not have the know how to understand the systemic failures. I searched through Angie's List and went for the best rated Sterling Pools and Supplies. An appointment was made for the next day and Eric expertly walked me though the failing issues regarding the pool structure, poor build design, missing parts, and pumps. By the following Monday Sergio had installed up-to-date variable speed pumps, new weir, float valve, and cleaned the pool sparkling. The system is so quiet I can't hear it start up at 5:00 a.m. The pool will need to be resurfaced after our California drought but Sterling extended its life, made it beautiful for its age, and well educated its owners. We are very pleased with Sterling for their professional know how, spirit of service, and friendly demeanor.  We have referred their service to our family members. Also, the cleaning service tests the pool water weekly, adds the proper chemicals to keep it safe and clear, and does not use guesstimate chlorine tabs. The costs for the pumps was on target for my estimate and the weekly cleaning service is equally competitive.

From the start, the guys from Sterling pool were professional, on time, accurate, and knowledgeable.  They got everything working including my pool lights, the waterfall feature, and of course the iPhone controlled total system.  
Every time I had a question, they were super friendly and addressed my question.
Most important of all was my solar system.  I had the solar panels (for the pool) installed by Warm Corporation.  They were poor.  Very poor.  They would not show up on time.  Did not pressure test the system (to find the leaks).  Sterling was on top of that even though they could have easily said they were not responsible for that part.  They helped push Warm Corporation to finally do the pressure test, find three leaks, and fix them all.
Sterling is not the cheapest (nor the most expensive).  But, they are worth every penny if you want the job done fully and correctly.
I also use Sterling for my weekly pool service.  The quality and consistency is great.
I highly recommend them.

He responded to my initial phone call quickly.  He accommodated my schedule for the appointment.  He showed up promptly.  He was friendly and knowledgable.  The repair was done efficiently.  The cost was nominal.  I would definitely both recommend him as well as call upon him again, should I need him.  This is a good guy.

Erik is a pool guru, and explains everything about the system, points out areas for improvement but isn't out to sell unneeded equipment or services.  He gave me great confidence that my money was being well spent. Homan (owner) came out after the work was done and gave me some training on maintenance of the pool with the new pump and filter.  I would turn over my pool maintenance to Sterling if they serviced my area (Rose Garden SJ). Third pool company I've worked with in 2 yrs and now I don't have to look elsewhere.
