"I used to perform most of my own pool maintenance including chemicals, filter cleaning and fixing equipment such as pool sweepers so I understand what goes into a pool service. Unfortunately with an ailing back and some long work hours, I hired Luis to take over my DE filter cleaning. That was 8 years ago and since he has replaced 2 different pool pumps and installed a new DE filter. I cannot be happier with the service that he provides. Luis is a hard working, honest individual but most importantly he has expert knowledge and deep experience with pool maintenance and repairs. I highly recommend R1 Pools as your next pool company."

"Noe and his son did a superb job resurfacing our in-ground spa and making it look better than new. They were pleasant to deal with and were meticulous about their work. They also cleaned up each evening and left the work area spotless. I wouldn't hesitate to hire them again, and based on their work I'm considering doing the entire pool."

"These folks are true pros and take such pride in their work. Our project manager Juan Horta was brilliant and every time he brought something up to us we absolutely agreed with him. The pool and landscaping look gorgeous. All the edges and details are finished beautifully. The whole crew are experts in their different fields. Onecimo and the paver crews, Santos and the landscapers - we can see everyone put real care and pride in their work. Jackie Flor was our designer and she put in a lot of hours getting us the design we wanted. The price was laid out and explained at the beginning and there was nothing hidden or unexpected. They all went above and beyond. We're so happy we put in the pool and we're super happy we went with Pacific Outdoor Living."

"Overall grade: “A”. Summary: Aqua Concepts rebuilt most of my pool (70-year-old, 20’x40’, 9’ deep maindrain, rectangular pool) from the rebar on up, replastered the pool, added new steps, pressure tested my maindrain, installed a split maindrain, and recommended a pool Startup party that I am very happy with. Time Frame: May-June 2021 (COVID time) Issues\Complaints: None My AquaConcepts contact: Chris was always available to answer my questions whether by text, phone call, or in-person visit. He did so in a timely manner. He also suggested alternate approaches and ideas that could be implemented during the rebuild. Very helpful. Background: Initially I planned only to replaster the pool. The surface looked OK except for a few “red spots” in the shallow end. Those spots turned out to be rusted rebar that had penetrated the plaster! This finding changed the entire nature of the job. AquaConcepts dug several “windows” into the plaster and it was evident that rust was widespread. To affect a reasonable rebuild price, they built a new rebar shell (say 6” above the old one), covered both rebar frames with shotcrete (at 3500 psi), bead blasted my existing tile (came out pretty good looking) and all this for half the price of a new pool (new pool of this size: 80-90k.) They also built the rebar shell for the new steps. (As I’m retired, I watched every step of the rebuild closely, asked lots of questions, and enjoyed the process)."

"From our initial meeting with Joe & Eli from SES builders… we knew that we were dealing with a experienced, qualified and skilled team of people who could bring our dream pool into a reality. Everyone who was involved at our project really listened to our ideas and vision while their new design of how the new pool will look like was much more improved compare to our original concept. Joe is a wonderful project manager who managed an expert team and kept us completely informed in regards to the progress of the work and made all the adjustments hassle-free. Our new pool was completed within our budget and a little bit before the promised time and we truly enjoyed contributing in the makeover of our back yard. It was a real pleasure to have Joe, Eli and the team provide us with excellent service and a wonderful pool!"

"I thought pool plumber did a pretty good job with this pump installation, up until the point I requested a receipt for the work done. The reason I asked them for a receipt was so I could turn my application in for a rebate.
First, I was put off, then, after a couple more requests - silence.
My question is: Why? This is the reason I give them a sub-standard review.

"I really appreciate the work done by Edgar and his team. We ended up stripping up carpet and completely replacing subfloor--lots of unevenness and squeaking and earlier patches. Then put it in new laminate flooring. Edgar was super responsive and helpful and they got the job done very quickly. Would absolutely use them again. Not rating price because the other bids I got didn't get to point of including subfloor replacement, so I'm not sure how they would measure up."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Start by securing necessary permits from the local building division for equipment replacements, replastering, or electrical work. Check your neighborhood association rules for exterior modification guidelines. Verify that your chosen contractor carries proper insurance and understands regional inspection requirements. Request an underground utility check and a professional leak inspection before beginning extensive pool and spa service on an older California property.

Helpful?

Routine pool and spa service involves managing rapid water evaporation and algae growth during hot, dry summers. Clear heavy debris from local trees and fine dust blown in by Santa Ana winds to protect your filtration system. Winter maintenance requires freeze protection for plumbing in colder foothill areas. Always comply with regional water restrictions when draining or refilling your system in Pasadena to conserve resources.

Helpful?

Proactive pool and spa service immediately reduces energy and water consumption through efficient equipment and leak repairs. Updated systems ensure strict compliance with modern safety standards while maximizing your swimming season. Over time, consistent maintenance prevents severe structural failures caused by regional seismic activity. A well-maintained, fully permitted pool makes your property highly desirable in the competitive Pasadena real estate market.

Helpful?

Different professionals handle specific aspects of pool and spa service. Licensed pool contractors manage major renovations, structural repairs, and equipment replacements. Maintenance technicians handle routine chemical balancing and cleaning. Certified plumbers address pipe repairs, while licensed electricians tackle panel connections and lighting upgrades. Hire leak detection specialists who use advanced equipment to locate hidden plumbing issues throughout your Pasadena property.

Helpful?

Upgrading equipment during pool and spa service impacts your home electrical panel, as modern variable-speed pumps and proper safety outlets demand adequate power. Adding new heaters requires a gas line capacity check, especially in older properties. Plumbing modifications must meet local stormwater discharge rules. Furthermore, deck repairs in CA seismic zones expose structural movement, requiring immediate foundation or shell reinforcement.
