What Our Pool Clients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 10 reviews Posted on Jesse HartmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had such a great experience with Brian Cardiff and Advantage Pool Company! They built us a beautiful pool, and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. Brian was super patient, attentive, and easy to work with. What really impressed me was his willingness to help preserve our existing wall when other companies said it couldn’t be done. The quality of the work is top-notch, and the end result looks amazing. Highly recommend Brian and his team if you’re thinking about putting in a pool—you won’t regret it!Posted on Terry KetchelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best! If you’re looking for someone who is precise and has attention to detail, then look no further. Brian Cardiff and his team have gone beyond building our pool to extending service. He’s always been there years later for any questions or repairs or issues that may come with the longevity of the pool . We went with plaster versus pebble tech, because it just stays so nice, bright and white, and had some ceramic designs inlaid, and added solar for the pool. and if he can build pools and is interested by pool inspectors, I felt that was a really good résumé.Well done.Posted on Juan AguileraTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family and I have had the opportunity to work with Brian and his family. They are great people and are men of their word. Always honest and transparent. They build high quality pool and I couldn't recommend them enough. Really, really, really great people to work with.Posted on Carlos HernandezTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I couldn’t be happier with my experience working with Advantage Pool Bay Area Inc. From start to finish, Brian and his team were professional, attentive, and truly committed to making my dream pool a reality. Brian guided me through every step—from design ideas and material choices to construction and final touches. He was always available to answer questions, offer advice, and make sure everything was running smoothly. The crew showed up on time, worked hard every day, and kept the area clean and organized. What impressed me most was their attention to detail and commitment to quality. Now, 5 years later, my pool still looks amazing—and Brian is still just a phone call away if I ever need anything. He doesn’t just build pools; he stands behind his work and honors his warranty without hesitation. Thanks to Brian and the entire Advantage Pool Bay Area team for your hard work, professionalism, and dedication.Posted on Joe PeraltaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ A Backyard Dream Come True! Working with Brian and his team at Advantage Pools was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. What was once just a patch of dirt is now a stunning backyard oasis that feels like a resort right at home. From start to finish, the process was seamless, professional, and actually enjoyable. Brian’s vision, attention to detail, and passion for creating beautiful spaces truly set him apart. He listened to our ideas, offered great suggestions, and brought everything to life beyond our expectations. The craftsmanship is top-notch, the materials are high-quality, and the final result is simply breathtaking. Not only did they deliver on time and on budget, but the entire crew was respectful, tidy, and hardworking every single day they were here. We couldn’t be happier with our new pool and outdoor space.

Brian and his team built the most amazing pool I have ever seen. It’s 5 years later and everything is still as amazing as the day it was completed. They pick up the phone whenever I have a question or need advise. Fantastic business and even better people. I would recommend them to anyone wanting the best pool, at the best price, made by amazing people.Posted on Yale GordonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great pool company ! Jarett has amazing communicationPosted on Jeff KozanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Spoke with Jarett !! Great guy, good communication.Posted on Dorla DaughertyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had the great fortune to pick Brian’s company, Advantage Pools Bay Area. I had unusual (some could say impractical) ideas about how to fit a pool into my “front” yard. It was a unique and problematic project. Instead of trying to talk me out of my ideas, Brian collaborated with me to make sure the pool was a success and that I was happy with the outcome. Due to the nature of the positioning of the pool there were several hurdles with the Permit Office. Brian’s personal reputation and positive relationships with those in the office as well as his creative problem solving kept the project moving forward. This asset is invaluable and I could not have foreseen its need at the start of the project. We began early 2020 just ahead of the pandemic. Brian worked through all hurdles and kept up with timely communications with me and the subcontractors during this difficult time. His professionalism and calm demeanor was greatly appreciated. It also has to be noted that Advantage Pools Bay Area goes above and beyond using upgraded materials like thicker rebar than other contractors and for that I am grateful! Advantage Pools Bay Area stands by its work. When something comes up (often user error!) Brian and his people are there to lend a hand either providing information or coming to the site to see the issue themselves. A couple years after project completion rats ate through some wires creating a critical problem. Advantage Pools Bay Area and their subcontractors came out and solved the problem no charge even though this definitely was not covered under the warranty. They answer the phone and my questions consistently to this day and I am confident they will be there tomorrow. There are many pool companies out there that could have built my pool. I doubt there’s another out there that would have done it with the professionalism and pride that Advantage Pools Bay Area did. I truly doubt another would still stand by me and their work today - five years later.Posted on c boerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great experience working with Brian and Jarrett at Advantage Pools Bay Area. My pool was completed on schedule, the contractor's were courteous and professional and I love the finished product! I highly recommend them.
