I don't know why I have to give one star. They don't even deserve one star. I hired California pool to remodel my pool and add a jacuzzi and change the pavers. It's been over a year and not even half of the job is done. Although they have collected most of the money. Robert Monroe is not a reliable Contractor. Every week we get an email that they will start next week. For over 10 months my Backyard is all sand and we have been walking on the sand all this time. They also put the gas line on the wall in my front yard when I asked them what is going on? He said can't you just

Very disappointed with the customer service from this company. I called multiple times and even left a message with contact info and never received a phone call back. I finally was able to get a hold of them when I called and someone picked up the phone. I thought maybe they were just busy because of Covid but no. They came out to survey our property (and waste our time) to not only leave us with no follow up or phone call but still to this day, no email with the quote they had told us we would be receiving just a few days later. I even followed up with the owner of the company in Valencia!! He

If i could give NO STARS i would. But, Yelp makes you give at least one star. Absolutely horrible service. I called back in early August 2019 for an estimate on a pool remodel. Robert Monroe came out took measurements and said would get back to me with a quote.
1. 8/17/19 - emailed and asked for a status update.
2. 8/19/19 - Robert responded and said he had no quote yet because the designer was on vacation.
3. 9/24/19 - i sent another email to check the now over a month status.
4. 9/25/19 - Robert responded that hes working on it.
5. 10/2019 - called Robert and his VM said he was vacation

I am so very surprised at the negative comments on this page. I hired California Pools to build a pool for me at a home in Bonita Canyon and they did a fantastic job for me. It was the selling point of the house because they did exactly what I wanted and if I did not like it Kimo Horn was right there to let me know they would change it to my liking and they did. Since then I have called Mr Horn several times to get referrals for other jobs and he has always been responsive and helpful even though it had nothing to do with the pool. I am about to build another pool and will only hire them from past

CA pools did an awesome job! Project was done around the time they expected, looks great, works great, and the people are great! Robert, Spencer, and Jesus are all awesome to work with. I would definitely recommend Cali pools to anyone asking. The 3D renderings they do are really cool too, the finished product looks basically identical.
Sharing a picture but just be aware, the landscaping is not complete yet.

Kimo, Spencer and Robert were awesome to work with - they follow through with everything they promised. "3 years later" - We are still loving our pool. We get great complements every time we have barbeques with family and friends. As we walked through the process with Permits, Excavation, Equipment, Plumbing, Gunite, Masonry steps 1 & 2 and last but not least Decking and Plaster. Anytime we had questions Robert was always available for our family. You guys are the best in the pool business!!

The overall experience with California Pools was dismal to say the least. The whole project took 9 months when it was supposed to be done in 16 weeks. We had a hole in our backyard for three months, the communication with the site manager was unconsionable. I had to call and speak to supervisors each time in order to get things done, and what they promised still has not been done. This company is obviously having management and communiction problems and all they want is your money. BTW you have to pay up front, before the work has even been done!
The positive is it looks great, and the designer

We had our pool built by California Pools in 2006. It is a custom "rock" pool and we could not have been happier with the process and finished product.
We have dealt with many contractors over the years and jokingly have our own Wall Of Fame and Hall of Shame to cover a myriad of home improvement projects.
Robert Monroe, now General Manager of California Pools, sits prominently at the top of our Hall Of Fame. Our experience with Robert and California Pools was incredible. It was if we had a family member looking over the job for us.
Robert is a class act. By the time the pool was finished

Awesome, Fantastic, Impressive,Outstanding!!!!!!
Kimo, the GM did a great job helping us lay out our pool /spa design in a very awkward shaped back yard. Then came Adam, he was our project coordinator, Adam was at the house over-seeing daily operations, and I do mean daily! They all were great and helpful assisting us with our many questions and changes. This company and it's employees were top notch, very knowledgeable in every aspect from the permits to choosing our tiles. etc. The whole process went smoothly and everyday we saw huge progress.
We couldn't be happier with our beautiful

So for our 30th Wedding Anniversary, my wife and I decided to spend money in our backyard as opposed to going on a "Big Trip" or on jewelry. I called California Pools and began to develop and design a Spool (Small pool/spa) that would fit in my backyard. I knew what I wanted and as I described the 'dream', Kimo Horn was with me all the way. I was looking for a pool about 4 1/2 to 5 feet deep with a water feature and rock formation where you could sit behind the waterfall like a grotto. I also of course wanted a spa as well but in the pool area, I wanted to have a wading shelf
