We interviewed 5 different pool companies when we realized we would be able to afford a pool. Steven from Sunset was the only one to mention previous references, their insurance, proof of pictures demonstrating quality of work and a contract with a set price. What mattered most to us was the quick and efficient manner the pool was completed, as well as the pavers around it.

During this time there were shortages of materials etc and Steven did his best to make sure we were aware of the time frame and what our time frame was from start to finish. He followed through with all of the plans made and hired out for the BEST when it came to other parts of the project. We are beyond grateful we got to work with Sunset Pools and are so happy with how it all turned out! If you're looking for an honest/hardworking company to help you build the pool of your dreams this is it!

We had a great experience working with Sunset Pools. From the onsite visits, multiple design iterations, and all the extensive work details that went into building our beautiful pool -- everything was handled professionally and with awesome customer service. We were kept updated throughout the process which was especially important while dealing with a pandemic build. Completely recommend Sunset Pools!

So glad I went with Sunset Pools and Spas! Steven gave me great design ideas and during the entire process (planning, permitting, site prep, installation and startup) Steven and his crew were great to work with. I highly recommend Sunset Pools and Spas! Services: Design, General construction, Swimming pool water analysis

Wow, I cannot say enough good things about Sunset Pools and Spas. I would 110% recommend them. We had met with many pool builders before choosing this one and feel very lucky that we went with Sunset Pools and Spas. Both Corey and Steven were extremely knowledgeable about the entire pool building process and understood exactly what I wanted from the beginning.

Their quote was very fair and the best we could find. From the beginning, Corey and Steven advised us on what we needed and the different ways we could stay on budget and get the most for our money. On top of that, we gave them a very short time frame for the project and they delivered on time just as promised. Everyone that was a part of the pool build was an expert in their area.

Our project included remodeling our existing pool and adding heat and a spa. We were able to afford a salt system, a WIFI run pool, all new equipment moved to the side of the house, replacing old plaster with mini pebble, auto-fill and a water feature. Steven was super responsive throughout the process with any questions I had. Texts were always returned promptly and many times followed by a phone call. Steven was also onsite quite a lot making sure things were going as planned.

We really felt we were in good hands the whole way through. Even in this current, challenging economy there was never an issue of having to wait for materials or equipment, Sunset Pools had everything on hand. We discovered what a complex and arduous task it is to remodel a pool. It involves plumbers, electricians, laborers, tilers and the list goes on.

There was never a day where someone wasn't onsite working on our project. Having someone like Steven that is running all of these different jobs in concert was a big reason our job was done on time. The quality of work done was outstanding. One of our favorite parts of the remodel was the tile work. The person that laid our tile was a craftsman. The tile work came out beautifully in the end with the many complex cuts looking effortless.

The coping and mini pebble finish was also done expertly and came out even better than we thought it could. Whereas before we thought our pool was fairly unattractive and dated, it now is a beautiful and modern feature of our backyard. It is amazing that we now control our entire pool from our phones and never have to worry about adding water to the pool again. Thank you to Steven and Corey for making it all happen.

Sunset Pools and Spas did our new pool and spa build and they were awesome! A friend of ours had used them previously for their pool and we are glad we chose them as our pool contractor. I met with Corey and showed him a few pictures of what we liked and he drew up the design and Steven was our project manager. Def recommend them!

I'm sure I would not hire you now after 2 attempts at emailing you! I already have your email no need to post it here to look concerned when it's obvious your not interested in my project. No thanks!

Corey and his team did a great job on our pool and spa. It turned out even better than we expected. It was a new pool and not a remodel. They started demo on July 8, 2020 and were done by November. All of the workers were great and each crew does a specific step of the process that they are best at. There weren't many days off unless it was weather related.

They work fast which is great because you hear of many projects that take forever. We even added glass tiles which take longer to cure. The travertine was something we added after the initial quote and of course that was extra money but other than that the add ons were minimal. I would recommend getting the salt pool with the system you can control with your phone.

It makes operating the equipment super easy and you can schedule the water feature and lights to go on and off at certain times. There are always little hiccups when doing any home improvement project but working with someone like Corey that can get you through those things makes it much less stressful.

We took a long time to find the right pool contractor for us, I must have interviewed at least five contractors in the Orange area and Sunset Pools and Spas was by far the best of the bunch. Corey was always on time, gave us an honest idea of what we could do in our backyard, and a fair price with no hidden fees. He never made me feel like "just another project" or "just another client" which is far too easy to do in the current home renovation craze. Sunset's contract laid out every phase and charge nicely so people who are not pool experts (us) could easily understand what to expect and what we were paying for when. Corey was easy to get a hold of when needed and great at communication.

He was often on site checking on the construction, even pitching in to help and his crews were professional, easy to work with, and respectful. I would recommend him to anyone looking to install a pool in their backyard and would gladly hire him again without giving it a second thought.

Overall enjoyable process with Corey and Steven from Sunset Pools & Spas. Scope was a remodel of existing pool and adding a spa and some new equipment. The process was outlined and followed very well. Timeline and budget stayed on track. Communication was excellent through all phases. I asked a ton of questions so I was informed of as many details as possible and Steven, the project lead, was always available to explain each step in the process.

The quality of work seems to be high and the aesthetic is great. We had a few very minor follow up items that needed attention, Sunset was able to complete everything to our satisfaction. We look forward to enjoying our pool and spa this summer. Will plan to update this review after we've used it for a few months. Thanks Sunset Pools & Spa!

We started our pool project in July of 2020. We signed a contract that stated our pool would be completed in 70 work days. its the middle of March 2021 and we are not done. Every point along the way of the project has been a problem. All of the work was subcontracted and there was no communication. Everything that was done needed to be redone. We are paying over 90K and are only asking for quality work.

As of today we have paid close to 80K and I can not get anyone to call me back from the company. if you are considering this company to build your pool be prepared for headaches and you'll be swimming in a year.

4 months and still not finished. Lots of issues all through the process. Not my first pool remodel and sunset has been the worst. Corey sells you job but never was onsite from day 1. Definitely do not recommend. If you don't recognize me as a client you don't have a problem refunding me $40k then right?

Couldn't be happier! We highly recommend Corey and Sunset Pools. Like most we contacted 8 companies and read all the reviews. Our decision wasn't totally focused on price it was budget and comfort of who would be working in our backyard. My favorite thing Corey said "I love building pools for families". It wasn't a pitch or a slogan it was a genuine response to some questions I had. Corey did everything he said he would do and then some.

He had just direct to his cell phone and was on site all the time. He gave us schedules and timing and any time there was a change he would update us. His professionalism stood out like none other. His crews were hard working, kind and kept the project area as clean as possible. We cannot thank Corey and his company anymore. They did an exceptional job bringing our dream alive. We have recommended them to our neighbors and friends and they have all signed with them. Thank you Sunset!

Corey and his amazing workers truly made what was once a dream for my wife and I become a reality. I am so appreciative every single morning that I look out my kitchen window, that everything turned out exactly as discussed. In a year that has been interesting to say the least, this was our bright spot. Thank you again!

Talk about a full service company. From the beginning Corey (owner) was on top of everything. Very responsive, true to their word and hard working. I texted Corey on Wednesday at 12:10 and he responded to me by 12:30 and the appointment to meet was setup for Monday. He was a bit early to the appointment and extremely pleasant. We probably ended up talking for 30 minutes after we had gone through everything for the pool build.

He promised renderings within the week which he delivered on. We had 7 total bids and did a lot of juggling with tweaks and I have to admit, Corey took any change in stride and truly made us feel like a customer even though we hadn't agreed to go with them yet. After a week of back and forth we chose Sunset. They were not the lowest bid nor the highest but their pricing was in line with what we thought and hoped.

The best part of Sunset and Corey was how involved he was with our project. He kept us up to date with the city and permits and then was at our home for every step of the way. It was a real personal touch. His crews were all hard work and pleasant. They kept the project as clean as possible. They were meticulous on everything they did and the result was awesome.

We have referred Sunset to neighbors and friends and all of them so far have signed with Sunset. In all projects you run into things, Corey took any change or issue in stride and always made us feel great about what we decided and how it came out. Highly recommend Corey and Sunset.

Like a lot of people, my wife and I thought it would be a good idea to install a pool, firepit and BBQ Island during COVID-19. We did the usual three bids. Steven from Sunset Pools came out did a consultation and gave us a bid. He seemed to understand what we where looking for and gave us good ideas. His bid was very reasonable and in great detail, listed my options for my build.

We signed on with Sunset and didn't look back once. There were definitely challenges trying to build a pool during an epidemic, with city hall shutting down or opening one day a week. Steven and his crew where outstanding. The quality of work was simply amazing. The final product completely exceeded my expectations. Steven and his crew were committed to doing it right and if it wasn't, Steven had them do it over without me even saying anything.

His crew was very polite and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely hire them again if I ever build another one. You definitely owe it to yourself to call Sunset and talk to Steven if you are interested in putting in a pool. I got way more then I expected and couldn't be happier.

"You never have a second chance to make a first impression". We called to make an appointment for an estimate based on our design, and were told someone would call us back in a week to do so be ause they were so busy. Wjat.no one can make a FUTURE appt.?. It's been five weeks and no return phone call. Poor customer service and time management. Don't bother keeping business local. Sunset was scratched off our list. No lawn signs and pretty pictures take the place of of poor customer attention.

I am writing this review on behalf of my friend and client of Sunset Pools. She was blocked by Corey from making an honest review of him and his company after walking away from the job unfinished and bad work. Attached you will see pictures of missing tiles that have been coming off steadily. Also, the bad design of the waterfall which only lasted about six months before it chipped off.

The concrete patio that has been losing layers and leaves crumbs of concrete all around every time it gets wet. Sunset Pools should not be used. Update: I just saw his response. This is not true. No one ever fired them. The work WAS not ever finished. The job is still not done. He still has a chance to just go over and fix everything! Just fix it!

I honestly can not believe as a business they would talk this way about anyone. Beware to all that Sunset Pools might not finish the job and then lie about you on Social Media. They are really good at deflecting.wow!

I had a 40-year old backyard and pool that needed some. well, ok a ton of help. I decided to tear out the whole backyard and replace everything. That is a huge commitment so I spent some time (years, in fact) talking to different contractors and finally settled on Sunset because they had great advice about the design I wanted, and their price ended up significantly under the other contractor bids.

They were happy to include lots of miscellaneous items that saved me having to deal with them separately. They were easy to work with and responsive to my questions and needs during the project. I was in my new pool 10 weeks later, even with a couple of weeks off because of rain. The craftsmanship is top notch and I know I made the right choice to go with Sunset.

Corey and his crew are top-notch. Corey was extremely responsive during our project. His communication with us was outstanding. We were able to text and call him and he always responded within minutes to our texts and picked up the phone when we called. We were amazed how quickly his crew got the job done. The work they did was beautiful, replastering our pool, putting in new tile, and installing the autofill capabilities. Corey was also very helpful in connecting us with ancillary professionals that we needed (pool tile company, pool fence company, etc.). We highly recommend Corey and his crew for any pool work that you need done!

The Sunset Pool & Spa team was great to work with! The process was simple, our pool works great & looks amazing! More importantly, after over a year our pool has been a source of fun and enjoyment for our 4 kids. I liked that Corey was quick to respond to any issues during the process with 100% follow-thru. I have so much faith in Corey Fritz and his team at Sunset Pool & Spas that I have recommended them to several friends, family and the new homebuilders we work with. Thank you Corey and team at Sunset Pools and Spa!

Corey did a great job working with me on the pool project. He was an awesome communicator. His crew was professional and very detailed with the work. I waited a year to ensure everything worked well and I was happy with his work before posting. We are all enjoying the backyard. It was worth the cost. Doing a pool is a costly and scary project. I recommend Corey he made it seamless.

I called Sunset Pools & Spas and met Corey in 2017 when I requested a quote to build a pool at my home in Tustin. I knew after meeting with him that he was the builder I wanted to go with. Unfortunately we had to put the build on hold, but when we were ready again in September 2019 I called Corey! He picked up right were we left off confirming the design and providing an updated estimate.

I liked that Corey was a local OC pool builder and would be able to be on site more than the average builder covering more areas. He was available and accommodating at all times. This is priceless as you will definitely have questions, concerns, comments and even complaints. This is normal, just like any construction project, but having your pool builder available is the key to ensuring your happiness.

Anything I threw at him was immediately addressed and resolved. The crews he sent were polite, on time, clean and professional. Corey was able to get my pool built in record time. Just 34 days from the day they broke ground. In the end we got everything we wanted, it looks beautiful and we can't wait to jump in! Thank you Sunset Pools & Spas.

Since my last review we have run into issues with the pool service that we paid for that was included in the pool remodel. Corey's pool maintenance staff is very unreliable. In the contract someone was suppose to come out 5 days in a row to check overall pool functioning and maintain chemicals and cleanliness, etc. Of course someone didn't come out for 2 days and when I brought it to his attention he sent a screen shot of the convo stating we were "crybabies". His employee said he was there everyday but he wasn't! We know this because someone is home 24/7. Completely unprofessional!
