Antonio was great to work with! We hired them to replaster, do new pluming and new concrete to our pool. They did a great job! They were professional and respectful. They were quick, the job was finished in 2 weeks. The quote was very affordable and we would recommend North Star Pools to anyone wanted to redo their pool. Thank you North Star Pools!
