Spectacular Pools and Spas

I am writing this review for the person who, like me, had never before built a pool and who, like me, might be a little overwhelmed by the decisions, uncertainties, practicalities, expense and all the other unknowns that go along with the process. I had heard horror stories from friends about shoddy work, bids that suddenly don’t match the final bill, work that was done in violation of or even without permits (and resulting fines) and on and on. I concluded that, knowing next to nothing about what I was embarking on, the most important decision I could make would be to choose a person I felt I could trust to guide me through the process.
I pulled a list of four contractors, each of them at the top of some list (Angie’s List, Unilocal,etc.). I interviewed each of them and got bids. Steve and his company, Spectacular Pools, was among them (as a result of these other reviews on Unilocal). At the end of the interview process the decision was clear. Steve and Spectacular Pools was it. Somehow I just knew I could trust him. It was the best decision I could have made.
From the beginning of the process (design) to the end (follow-​through and reconstruction of the yard) Steve has been fantastic. The first day we met he described what would happen and it happened exactly as he said it would. We broke ground on December 1^st, 2015, and the pool was filled on January 11^th, 2016. (It would have been before year’s end but for weather delays (rain) and Christmas and New Year’s.) I really cannot overstate how pleased I am with the final result and with the ease and transparency of the process in getting there.
Steve and Spectacular Pools are the best. Hire him!

Did a great job on our pool. We are delighted with the outcome from equipment to pool surface. Steve was great to work with and kept sending us updates as the pool was dug and completed.

We contracted Steve from Spectacular Pools & Spas to remodel our dated pool & backyard. He did a wonderful job!
Our old plaster pool & spa were updated w/​new tile & mini pebbletec. We are so pleased w/​the appearance! He also transformed our old landscaping in the backyard to a drought tolerant scape, removing 20 year old hedges & a less than healthy lawn. A rock. scape was put in w/​more desert friendly plants. Our yard not only looks larger but looks beautiful & colorful! We chose the color of small rocks & plants, picking out the area where they should be placed. Then Steve’s crew, did everything that we asked.
Our only problem throughout the transformation was that somehow, the tile place ordered the wrong color tile for our pool. Unfortunately, it was installed, but we came from out of town & caught the error in time. Steve was notified, & he immediately had it removed & had the correct tile installed.
We highly recommend this business if you are looking for a pool contractor. He is honest & professional, which seems hard to find these days.

I can not express how pleased I was with working with Steve and Spectacular Pools. I refrained from installing a pool for 4 years after hearing the horror stories most people have had with pool contractors. Spectacular Pools created a timeline and work schedule and followed it to the minute! Steve was clear, concise and exact on every detail. When he said a certain portion was going to take place at a certain time, it did! He had the entire job completed in 35 days, which was what he quoted, which was far better than the 3 – 4 months others were quoting. Not only was he competitive and timely, but the pool is truly «spectacular!» His crews were neat, orderly and quiet. Other contractors have seen the job and remarked at what superb quality finishes I have. I would not waste a minute calling anyone else but Steve for pool needs. And after all of my friends seeing the job, neither would they!
