Best above ground pool installation pros near Tiburon, CA

"We are thrilled that our on line search for a pool contractor led us to the BEST….Mel & Echelon Pool &Spa!! His knowledge & expertise were evident from our initial discussion & throughout the project. He quickly assessed the source of multiple calcium deposits throughout our pool. It was, he said & later verified, the result of a previously faulty re-plaster job in which substandard materials were used & old plaster not removed, but plastered over!! This created a separation of the two surfaces which ultimately filled with water & led to disfiguring calcium deposits leaching into the pool. Mel’s knowledgeable & dependable team quickly & efficiently restored our pool to “like new” condition including the addition of a handsome & generous underwater seat in our pool’s deep end, repair & re-grouting of coping tiles as well as those at the water line! We are now aware of the engineering knowledge & skill needed for a project of this scope & thank Mel, Martin & his excellent team of experts for restoring & meticulously upgrading our beautiful pool! “Cherry on top” is the gorgeous “Tahoe Blue” color he promised we’d love, & we do! Thanks ever, Mel! R&R"

"probably the best contractors i have ever had here. pool was resurfaced and re grouted in a timely manor. all workers were fast and very polite"

"They did an excellent job. The only issue was that after starting to chip away at the old plaster, they called me and told me that my pool had been replastered before. Therefore it had 2 layers of old plaster. That meant more work to chip it all the way down to the gunite. That would cost $1,500 more! I had chosen PPP because of their low bid and good reviews on Angie's List. I was very upset. Jorge said that he could replaster without stripping down to the the gunite. I told him that other companies specified in their estimate and quot;strip down to the guniteand quot;. He agreed to drop the surcharge to $1,200.
Notwithstanding this, PPP were still cheaper and did a superb job.
My recommendation to others is to make the contractor be very specific as to his assumptions and state what are the incremental costs if these assumptions turn out to be incorrect.Jorge is a very pleasant man who is a pleasure to deal with.

"It went very well. They did a great job with prepping. The painters were very helpful through suggestions and were always professional and friendly."

"It went very well. They did such a great job and they did it quick. I highly recommend them."

"It went very well. Everyone was very informative. They kept me up to date with the process and whenever I had a question, they were really prompt with their answers whether by email or phone. They were on time when they say they will begin work and the guys that installed my solar panel and inverters were very clean. I mentioned that I'm very worried about leaks because my son is very sensitive to mold and they made sure to seal everything very well n show us the work they've done and ask if we see anything that needs to be addressed. I was very pleased with the whole process. And it was easy, they took care of everything."

"Excellent work at a fair price. On-time. On-bid. Solid craftsmanship. And handled unusual work environment (neighbor problem) with professionalism and style. Would love to work with them again, and can recommend without reservation."

"Tim took the time to call and give me the names of other movers who might be able to help.

The pool related tasks were of very high quality, but the concrete deck work was sub-par, including excessive cracking, poor color matching and poor quality sealing of concrete that resulted in a lot of white haze on the deck (my guess is that the sealer was drying before they applied it). 

It was very difficult to get hold of anyone who knew what was going on with respect to the schedule.  There was a lot of wasted weeks between activities with no apparent explanations.  Overall, frustrating to work with, though again, the quality of the pool work was great (tile, plaster, plumbing, new equipment install).

"Excellent work with the help of his son, Yelcin, doing electrical work. William was also polite, arrived promptly and was a pleasure to work with even as the project changed. I would recommend him highly."
