We still have an unfinished pool. The contract said they would be complete in February 2022 and nobody has done any work on our pool since early March. It has been 3 months since any work was done on our pool.

Hired Mission Pools to build me a in- ground rectangular pool in Coronado. In short, they started, but were unable to complete the excavation. They appeared to cheap out on the excavation phase which is typically a costly phase in the build process, by using unqualified personnel. I terminated the contract with mission pools and hired San Diego Pools. San Diego Pools visited the site and excavated and built my pool with no issues - drama free. Buyer Beware - Do your homework.

I needed to get the air bubbles checked in our year old pool that was built by mission pools. I have to say, Kevin and Desiree on the service team are AMAZING. Such a great company.

We contracted with Mission Pools in July of 2020 to put a pool in our backyard at the recommendation of our general contractor. There were a couple of missteps at the beginning and the project took longer than expected. But our salesperson Chris and the construction project manager Dave did everything in their power to get the project back on track and finished. As we approached the Thanksgiving holiday they pulled out all the stops and worked on Saturday and Sunday to finish up so that we could use the pool during the holiday weekend. The end result is beautiful. We are very happy.

Dawn helped design our pool and came out to our house several times, she was very patient with our questions and modifications. Ty was an excellent PM and was constantly checking up on each crew. They were all very easy to work with plus the back office employees were always professional and competent. We love our pool! They are probably not the cheapest pool company but we are glad that we paid for the excellent craftsmanship and professionalism.

Please ask your drivers NOT to block sidewalks with their work trucks. I am in a wheelchair and every time the truck is parked there, I have to find a way around it and it's dangerous because the street is very busy.

Probably not a good idea to drive around with your business on you car when you're not paying attention driving 40 mph in a parking lot and almost run a little kid over. Pay attention
