"Great company and person. We had a different pool service that had provide excellent service for several years, but when I came back this year the service person had changed and was not doing a very good job. One of the problems I had was a lot of calcium build up. I used Angie's List to find a pool tile cleaning company and subsequently  contacted what is now So Cal Pool Tile Cleaning to address the problem.  Richard came in two hours, gave me an estimate and performed the tile cleaning two days later. The entire tile cleaning process only took several hours, but the results were fantastic. I was so pleased with his work that I have him taking care of our pool on an ongoing basis. Richard is great and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

"We contacted Steve through Angie List because we wanted to give our old 80 style pool a much needed and quot;faceliftand quot;. Unfortunately, to finances a full remodel is not an option at this time so we wanted to do the best we could with the limited funds we had available. We contact several pool contractors and Steve at OC Pool Technicians was the only one who seemed to undertsand our budget and needs. He came out for a consultation and told my husband the possibilities and his recomendations of how to spend our $1000 max budget. Our primary concerns were the staining and discoloration of our white pool plaster, tile, and grout. We also had a missing pool drain cover. Steve told my husband that once the acid bath was done the plaster would be white again and the discoloration and stain would be gone that he could clean up the tile and grout and that he could replace the drain cover and replace the spa light all within our budget. It took about a week to get a written estimate and after careful consideration we decided to move forward. It took about another week to schedule the start of the work. it started with draining the pool which took a couple days, then the repair of plaster on the step, then the acid bath which took a day, then the sanding, then to our surprise with a couple of days from starting the job, he was filling the pool back up. It's here we run into all the complaints...the pool plaster was not all white after he did his job, you could visibly see the same discoloration and while the staining was better it was not by any means gone as he'd promised. We contacted Steve and he responded that that was best it would get and that to him it looked beautiful. Well that's great but to me it looks the same and I'm the paying customer. So we pushed the issue and continued to express disappointment. Then came the excuses...he had one for everything we weren't pleased with...the first excuse... was too old to do any more treatments or sanding and that if we wanted more we would have to sign a waiver releasing him of any libaility or damage to the pool. Feeling very disouraged and not pleased which we communicated to Steve we had him finish the work on the spa light and filled in the pool. Our only request was that he make the tile and grout sparkle to hopefully at least give the pool the illusion of being updated. He said he came out and worked on it several times but it not nuch better either--definitely not how I expected/he promised it to be. When we communicated how unhappy we were with the tile/grout outcome we got excuse number two..now it was it too old and simply needed to be replaced. WOW! Really! we already new that and we're not pool contractors. the experiance and outcome was less than diserable and while there is an improvement in the appearance of the pool its absoluely not what we were lead to believe it would be. It's. About 60% better than it was to start. Absolutely not $1000 better. Of course, he wanted to be paid along the way for the process and upon completion. He offered no discount for the service even though we weren't happy with the outcome. In my opinion he found out how much money we had to spend, told us what we wanted to hear, and made promises to get our business but couldn't ever deliver what he promised to. I've had lots of great experiences with Angie's List contractors this just wasn't one of them.

"I've used United States Pools (Palm Desert a.k.a. Pool Spa America) since 2008 for repair work and routine service of a large in-ground spa (gunnite and plaster).
  Repair work included helping resolve a horrible mess with a pool controller manufacturer who would not honor their warranty but we got it repaired under warranty.  They've replaced a broken light fixture, repaired broken conduit, cleaned filter, and incidentals  Their prices for these were reasonable and quality fine.  There were more delays than I'd like but none of these items were urgent.  Their quote for tile cleaning was excessive so I did not hire them for this. 
  I also used them for more than a year to do weekly cleaning/service and was not satisfied with this.  They did not use correct chemicals, despite my protests and frequent algae growth.
  My grades average the good and bad.  I recommend highly for repairs and low for routine service.
