Recent Pool Installers Reviews in Novato
- Premier Pools INCThis is a family owned business which I liked, a father and his two sons. They were totally professional and easy to work with, They showed up on time and they got the job done quickly. They re-plumbed and installed a filtration and pump system and the results are fantastic. It couldn’t have gone any better and I would hire them again without hesitation
- Premier Pools INCJames was always on track with our pool project and needs. Would also be using them for pool cleaning.
- Aqua Dream PoolsMany businesses will make the sale and you’ll never hear from them again. That’s not the case with Steve. He’s been responsive to my many requests after the pool was installed. Excellent customer service and support!
- Carlos Swimming Pools & LandscapingI'm a local realtor and have worked with many vendors on different projects over the years. These guys are by far one of the best contractors I've personally worked with. They were patient, explained the process before and during, addressed all my questions or concerns quickly, they provided great guidance through the process and they completed everything exactly by the date they said. I stare at my yard every day and can't believe that's my yard - it's gorgeous. Thank you! I will recommend you to everyone I know
- South Bay Pools IncI purchased my home a few years ago. The home had an existing pool with a leak and required some cosmetic work. Pablo and his team assisted in locating the leak and repaired it. Once the leak issue was resolved I decided to give the pool a different look. Pablo and team returned and did a phenomenal job. He built a beautiful retaining wall with two waterfalls, LED lights and a pool side fire pit. It could be happier for the type of service I received. The pool looks great and the water looks amazing. Thank you South Bay Pools
- Aqua Dream PoolsAqua Dream Pools was incredible in every phase of this project. The name proved to be true. Working with Steve was truly a dream. From his design and vision through every step of the project, Steve was as good as it gets. His management of our project made it go far quicker and far smoother than we could have imagined...and the finished product was nothing short of spectacular
- Shefer Builder INCUpdate: I was not paid to give a review and I did utilize and hire Shefer Builders for a total remodel. Remodeling can be stressful. So many decisions and expenses. We thought about it several years. We researched, planned, saved and interviewed several companies. We wanted a general contractor that could handle all our needs (one stop). We met with Yani of Shefer Builder twice. We shared our budget, our wants, and our concerns. It’s important you find someone you feel comfortable with and can have confidence in. It’s your home after all. He made us feel excited about the possibilities and his portfolio was extensive. He had loads of ideas and thoughtful ways and places we could make our dreams come true. We’d lived in our 1950s home for 20 years. Everything needed updating. From the roof down to new flooring, new windows, doors, outside stucco, and a gorgeous new open floor plan kitchen (removed a wall) and bathroom! We couldn’t be happier now! The end result is amazing. It looks like something in a magazine. Yet very livable. Yani helped with choosing wall colors, tile, flooring and fixtures. They built a new master walk-in closet with custom organizers. Added crown molding and pocket lights throughout and durable pretty flooring. During the process Yani stayed in touch constantly and sent pictures of the progress. If we had a question he was very responsive in returning a call or text. He stayed within our budget and even found places to save us money. We joke if we win the lotto we’ll have Shefer Builder back to add a second story. We’d be happy to provide more info
- Aqua Dream PoolsSteve and his pool team are on point. Steve has his pool installation process down and things flowed smoothly. He was quick to respond if questions arose and he followed up throughout the process to make sure things were going well. Side-note: I recommend choosing your tile and coping early in the process so it can be ordered and ready to go. Our coping wasn’t in stock (no fault of Steve’s) but waiting for it to come in put a hold on our project for a bit. We are very happy with the end result and our family is enjoying the new pool! Thanks Steve for a job well done
- Aqua Dream PoolsThe process with aqua dream pools went great! Steve was amazing. I’m very happy with how it turned out and highly recommend them.
- CARLOS LANDSCAPE & MAINTENANCEAwesome, it was done on the time frame they said. They are reliable and the product are gorgeous and they are very easy to work with.

"We bought our house a year ago, and it had an older pool that had not been well maintained. We replaced the filter and got the pool water healthy again, but we knew that it was badly in need of new plaster, coping, tile and pump. Summer rolled around and we were really enjoying having a pool. Swimming, having pool parties, family with small children visiting and having fun. We decided to go ahead and look into getting it fixed up, so we could continue to enjoy it for years to come.
<br /> We got 4 estimates, and after speaking with each of the companies and reviewing the estimates, we settled on Aqua Gunite.
<br /> Our main point of contact was the salesperson Michael Hopkins. Mike was a pleasure to work with. He initially gave us great advice, a very complete and detailed estimate, a work schedule, and handled small change orders. His price was right on par with other companies (bit better than some, bit higher than others), but the quality of his guidance and thoroughness of the estimate ended up being deciding factors for us. Once work began, we spoke to Sharon at the office mostly about scheduling and she was great to work with as well.
<br /> We had a few small issues and delays. Some due to the time the city took to do inspections, which are obviously out of Aqua Gunite's control. The original 3 week estimate endued up taking around 7 weeks, but the crews were punctual, cleaned up nicely after the day's work, and whenever I was home I could see that they were very hard-working. The craftsmanship was superb on all of the work.
<br /> There was one minor mishap where a faucet was left on and quite a bit of water was wasted, but we worked it out with Michael and Sergio, the owner and they were very accommodating. And a couple of times where they did not let us know in a timely fashion that someone needed to be home for an inspection, which caused a bit of a scramble to make sure the inspections happened on time. We also would of liked a bit more of a heads up on what we as homeowners needed to take care of for inspections, such as self closing gates and door alarms.
<br /> In the end, our 35 year old pool looks brand new and the materials we picked with Michael's help and advice are all beautiful. We couldn't be happier with our old, new pool.

"My experience with Rick was fantastic. He has the best guys and installs the best equipment. Also important for us, he managed the entire project and I was only pulled in from time to time on design questions. All of his employees were top-notch and showed up on time. The project took longer than expected, but that was due to the landscape design team and not Rick. Rick also installed two other pools in our neighborhood and they had positive experiences as well.

"<p>5 Star Pool could have put more effort in plastering the pool smoother. The grout in the tiles has been chipping off, that started about 6 months after completion of the job.</p>
<p>There were problems with the County pool inspectors OK-ing the work, he had to have his guys come back to do a part of the job over so it would pass inspection. </p>
<p>The salesman that bid and sold the job could have spent more time looking after the men he sent to do the work, they may have done a better job if that was the case.</p>
<p>I don't believe the property owner will use 5 star pool again, I think she may go with a higher bid to get a move professional job next time. The lowest bid is not always the best way to go.</p>

"I'm so happy that I decided to work with Mike Logan. I interviewed 3 other popular pool companies in the area but not one of them provided the immediate attention that Mike did. Actually the other 3 didn't get back to me until days after i left messages. Mike actually answered his phone! Additionally, although the bids were fairly similar (10K differential), the three components of customer service, products and process to make the pool were VASTLY different. Make sure you find out how long the crew has been working for the company and what the turn over is for sub contracting companies - very important! Pool builders often use many different sub companies for each stage of the process - so know who your dealing with before you sign the contract.
<br /> Logan pools only uses truly the best people and products. Working with Mike was like dealing with a intelligent and trustworthy friend. He was incredibly professional from the first phone call, to the very end where we were sitting by the rock fire pit together bragging about my gorgeous pool! Mike was there - literally every step of the way. He personally supervises each job - meaning... he's at the project a lot! Our pool took about 8 weeks, pretty much right on target based on Mike's projections.
<br /> The crux of my review - I would have paid a little more (but I didn't need to) to work with someone trustworthy like Mike who made the project affordable AND stress free. His amazing customer service allowed me to be a pleasant bystander or be involved as much as I wanted. He always welcomed my questions and was very patient in educating me through the whole process.
<br /> Bottom line, Mike really IS as nice as he seems the very first meeting! This isn't a cheeky ploy to get your business. He is super happy go lucky, feels very blessed to be doing what he's doing combined with attentiveness, timelines and five star customer service.
<br /> If you're looking for an honest company, gorgeous pool & hardscape that compliments YOUR yard and personal taste - Mike is your guy!
