Best above ground pool installation pros near Woodside, CA

"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.

"Price quote was much lower than others, reviews from others very good, and BBB check showed he is BBB member with no complaints. Work was performed on time, included jackhammering out old skimmer from pool deck, installation of new skimmer, patch concrete, cleanup and rebalance pool water. Very pleased with the results."

"It turned out to be a work of art. A beautiful, 100 ft stibewall that will never move and secures our back yard from the house behind us which is much higher elevation."

"The panel replacement went reasonably well, however the installers either misplaced or dislodged a part which became stuck farther down the pipes, blocking the plumbing. I decided to cut open the PVC pipes, remove the blockage and re-assemble the lines myself, instead of having them come out and pay their hourly rate. I was also a bit surprised by the cost of the repair."

"Everything went smoothly and according to plan. Everyone from Elite Pool Service was informative, efficient and friendly. The pool looks excellent."

"I had Paramount come out to give me an estimate on refurbishing my empty swimming pool. It had been leaking water and we emptied it 2 years ago so it was time to either fix it or fill it in.

The estimator/sales guy came exactly on time, discussed the process and the issues he could see and emailed me an estimate later in the day. The only fly in the ointment for this part of the process is that I wrote back and asked him what kind of things typically drove up the price of this type of project (originally slated to be a re-tile and re-plaster job) and he didn't have any. I think he could have but more on that later.

The workers showed up exactly when scheduled and got right to work. They found that much of the plaster had lifted away from the gunnite and they really had to take it all down. They also found about 3 times as many structural cracks as estimated but that had been left open so that was okay. I was disappointed to be hit with the new charge of stripping the pool but Jorge cut me a really generous deal for the cost of the stripping and the extra cracks and I'm pretty sure I got the better end of the bargain. They also found that there were cracks in the corners of the pool and they applied extra rebar and concrete to those areas. They did not charge me more money for those repairs.

The job started on 7/20 and by 7/29 water was flowing into the pool again and it looks great. The crew did a good job of cleaning up and I'm quite pleased with the outcome. I recommend Paramount without hesitation."

"I was recommended to Fine Point Painting by my parents. In the past my parents had bad luck with contractors who gave meaning to the term, Jack of All Trades Master at None. I grew up doubting contractors but Bill and his crew were fantastic. When he came out to do the bid he answered all of my questions and was thorough on explaining to me the reasons. When I had additional questions/concerns he was quick to reply via email.
The house we purchased to put it nicely, was in bad shape. Previously, it was a rental which I'm sure you can imagine the state
it was in. It also had termite damage in which Bill advised me to have the paint job done after the fumigation tenting. Apparently,
fumigation causes fresh paint to peel!!! Thank goodness we painted after the tenting.
We had the whole works done on the interior. The acoustic popcorn on the ceiling was removed, sanded, textured, primed, and
painted throughout the house. Also, the trim, doors and cabinets had oil based paint which needed to be sanded and primed in order for the latex paint to stick. The walls were sanded as well to remove embedded hair follicles and pebbles that were painted in the walls from the previous painter. Most of the interior of the house and entire garage smelled of animal urine and they pressure washed the garage with a cleaning solution to eliminate the smell. There were numerous cracks on the walls and ceilings which they filled. There were also 8 giant holes in the walls that they patched. They did an amazing job on the patchwork since you can't tell they were there!!! His crew was professional, courteous and they came on time. Also, they cleaned up after themselves very well. And this is coming from someone who is borderline OCD.
There were no hidden fees or added fees tacked on at the end. What made it easier for us was a payment plan which was broken down into 3 payment installations. This meant we paid them after each chunk of work was completed. I have heard stories where people have paid contractors upfront and the contractors run away with money or they don't finish the project.
If Angie's List had +'s and -'s I would give them A+'s. There are no words to express how pleased we are with Fine Point Painting. Our house looks amazing, the garage has no smell and I will hire them again for future projects.
