We used Nick and Kalifornia for our pool install. I've always wanted an in-ground pool but when our 11 yr old son was suddenly diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer we in Sept 2020 we decided to get it done so he could use it while going through treatment. Nick, like all pool builders last summer, was extremely busy but he made room for us in his schedule! Nick and the crew are amazing! We were probably not the easiest clients to work and communicate with since we had a lot going on with my son's treatments, traveling every day from the N. Metro to Rochester Mayo Clinic and never doing a huge project like

Loved working with Nick and his team. Very professional. Quality work. Built in November. So, won't be completely ready until the spring, but they did such a great job and looking forward to finishing everything up with them!

Excellent installation of our above ground pool years ago, now time for a liner replacement. They responded they no longer do above ground pools. If so, their website needs updating.

Kalifornia Pools installed our inground pool late fall 2020. They did an excellent job and we are very happy with the end product. Their price was fair and the install/construction was just about flawless. Any questions or concerns we had were quickly addressed and taken care of by Nick. Nick owns the business and understands his name is on the final product. Thank You Nick, it was a pleasure. Our only complaint was that summer ended too soon.
