After obtaining several quotes for the work, Michael was by far the highest recommended company in our community. The work was completed ahead of schedule, pricing was the most competitive and workmanship was impeccable. He kept me updated on the progress of the work continually. Deserves a ten star â­ ï¸ rating!

So many of our friends and neighbors have had nightmare experiences with pool contractors. Some went into lawsuits, some went way over budget, some had the wrong products installed and one had the contactor just quit and leave a big hole in the ground. We interviewed 8 separate contractors. We hired Mike because he actually OWNS the company. He came over and did a thorough evaluation of our property. and listened to our ideas. He suggested we hire a friend of his to come over and create a computer-generated model of our idea. It was TOTALLY worth the cost for us to see what the concept we chose would look like in the end. Once we agreed on the pool project, we also had mike's team concrete finish the 2 sides of our property. His budget was absolutely perfect and beat 4 of the others. One was so under budget we just knew it would lead to problems. Mike took care of all of the permits with the city, and he worked with our HOA to get the project started on time. The city delayed our schedule due to permitting by 2 weeks, but Mike's team finished the build 3 weeks ahead of schedule. We built a 28 foot long and 9-foot-wide pool with a 7 by 7 hot tub at the end. They left 2 feet around the perimeter for planting and wired the planting area for future lights and irrigation. We used a "sandstone" concrete finish that is blocked in large geometric stone shapes. IT LOOKS AMAZING! Mike helped us pick the beautiful tiles and we added a Puerto Rican glass blend to our whit Caribbean pebble bottom finish. Our pool is BEYOND BELIEF and our back yard is like an amazing resort. Our family, friends and neighbors are just blown away when they see what Mike and his team built! Everyone asks if we are going to AIR Band B our home because it is so serene and resort like. Mike and his team are amazing at FOLLOW UP and that is one of the main reasons we hired him and his team. The other contractors were very bad with communication and follow up and often acted like we were bothering them. Mike's workers and sub-contractors were always on-time and so friendly. Remember, Mike will build what you ask for. So, ask the right questions...do you want gas heat, electric heat or hybrid? Do you want large steps, small steps, square steps Etc.? Our friends who have had issues did not ask the right questions. Mike answered all of our questions and we got everything we agreed upon. Once your pool is finished it is difficult to go back and change things. Mike explains all of these things to you. At first mike was suggesting we do not add a side bench, but his design guy added one to our computer-generated concept. Even Mike though it looked AMAZING and that is what we have. Mike knows A LOT...but ultimately, he will build what you ask for, and make sure you ask for what you want. Mike was only sharing his ideas, but he is totally open minded to design concept. Mike is one of the nicest people that you will ever meet! I am so glad that we hired him and his team! We finished the project early and right on budget. There were a few issues with the initial dig and Mike just absorbed that into the quote with no issues. Mike and his team returned our property to its original look. They rebuilt the wall that they took down to get the equipment in and they cleaned up and painted everything as per the contract. THIS COMPANY IS THE REAL DEAL....I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MIKE AND HIS TEAM!!!!

It was a joy working with Mike. His team did an amazing job and gave our pool some much needed TLC. We had our deck resurfaced and our pool resurfaced. We could not be happier with the results! 10/10 We love our pool again.

We reside out of state/country and needed someone we could trust to manage the pool resurfacing project on our vacation rental property. Micheal was excellent to deal with and did a great job on our pool. He was very attentive and provided regular updates on the progress of the work, and also made sure the project was completed on time to accommodate our next guest booking. I would highly recommend Michael for pool work.

The contract was paid in full but the contractor did not abide by it because he did not lay the tiles in the steps even though it was part of the agreement. When he received the last check he stated that he would come back in a month and lay the tile but a month has passed and now he is charging me $1200.00 in order to come back and do what he had already been paid for.

We are very happy with the results and timeline. Great service and the tile and resurfacing looks fantastic. We had turtles installed in the bottom of the pool and on the steps and it gave an added touch.

The job was completed on time. Mike was agreeable to performing additional tasks at a fair price. The quality of all the work performed by him and his sub-contractors was high quality. Mike also follows up and handles the chemical start up as part of the contract. Here is a very important trait Michael possesses. He does not over sell, If you do not need new tile he will tell you that.. Working with Mike was a very good experience.

After my pool remodeling was done, the breaker for the pool equipment he installed kept tripping. I called and texted him to come back and fix it and never heard back from him. There is no excuse for a no reply.

Response from Company:

We were not aware of the issue described by the customer, nor did we receive any call regarding the breaker. We would have gladly returned to fix a simple issue such as a faulty breaker. Repeated attempts were made to contact this customer after we became aware of the issue, and we received no response.

Michael did an excellent job remodeling our pool and I highly recommend his services. His professionalism, expertise and customer focus was refreshing and consistent throughout our 10 week project. He kept us appraised of ongoing progress, provided options after tear down, and recommended solutions which were critical as we were out of town during the majority of the effort.
