This is a long overdue review. Craig replaced our pool filter because it had sprung a leak. He had a competitive quote and the inspection, removal and installation took no time at all. The work was done well. I found him to be honest and reliable.

Thank you Stephy! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with others.
We are so happy to have found Saddleback pool services. Our former pool service company was doing horrible work. Our pool was full of algae. Criag and his team have done their due diligence to make sure that our pool is healthy, clean and free of algae he dedicated the first two weeks showed up two times a week to make sure that the algae problem was cleared. We are beyond happy with their service. And their expertise knowledge.
Price assessment: Great price
Services: Filter cleaning, Water treatment, Vacuuming, Swimming pool summerization

Thank you Nellie. We love hearing from our happy clients. Turning troubled pools around due to poor service from other providers is one of the best things we do. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Well organized, do a great job, good communication, on time, send you text messages when they are on the way, and email reports on the services conducted with photos. Couln't be happier with them. I went with them after my last pool service never fixed my booster pump or a flow issues with my hot tub (four months). Saddleback Mountain Pool had it diagnosed and fixed in three days.

We’re really glad to hear you’re happy with how everything turned out, Mike. It’s always our goal to make pool ownership as stress-free as possible, and it means a lot that you trust us to keep things running smoothly. Getting your booster pump and hot tub flow sorted quickly was our pleasure—thanks for taking the chance on our team after your previous frustration. We appreciate your support!
I've been using Saddleback Mountain pool and spa service for weekly pool service and couldn't be happier. My pool looks great, the water is clear and I don't have to think about it. The technician shows up consistently each week, is friendly, and always leaves a quick note about what was done. Pricing is fair. Highly recommend to anyone in the area looking for reliable, hassle-free pool care.

Thank you so much Saman! Professional and reliable weekly pool service is what we strive to provide. Thank you for letting us know you are another happy customer
The best pool service we have ever had! Craig is always on time and follows his schedule. His prices are certainly fair and our pool water looks crystal clear. He also spends time taking care of the pool instead of just pouring chemicals in the water and leaving after five minutes!

We really believe in doing things the right way, and we’re so glad that shows in your crystal clear water! Thanks for putting your trust in us—looking forward to many more sparkling swims at your place.
I’ve been looking for someone to service the big fountain in my backyard. The fountain has a pump and filter system similar to that for pools that’s why several companies that service fountains weren’t able to handle it. I’m so glad I found Saddleback Mountain pool service! Craig was responsive and came the same day I called. I have been working with them for several months now and couldn’t be happier!
Price assessment: Reasonable price
Services: Filter cleaning, Water treatment

Thank you so much Safa! Fountain can be very difficult as they are not typically constructed properly. We took the time to understand your fountain and now it’s looking great! Appreciate you leaving this feedback!

This company is honest and prices are reasonable. Employees have been very helpful and always on time every week.

Thank you Marilyn! I love to share this feedback to our service techs. We always strive for the highest level of professionalism and timely service for all of our Mission Viejo pool service clients
It took me five different pool companies before I finally found Saddleback Mountain Pool and Spa Service, and I’m very glad I did. I operate an Airbnb, so our pool and spa get a lot of use and must remain clean, safe, and guest-ready at all times.
They have done an outstanding job. They are reliable, knowledgeable, thorough, and pay attention to details that other companies missed. The water looks crystal clear, the equipment is properly maintained, and I finally have confidence that everything is being handled correctly.
I highly recommend them, especially to Airbnb and vacation-rental owners who need dependable, professional pool service.
