We had major damage to our 8 year old fiberglass pool after flooding rains from TS Hermine and Hurricane Matthew. The original fill around the pool was done with sand. Once the massive amounts of rain infiltrated the sand, it liquified and shifted causing the pool sides to bulge and also broke the supply line fittings. We were not sure the pool could be repaired. We contacted Mike at Catalina and he very quickly came up with a well thought out plan for the major repairs that included removal of conrete decking, excavation of old fill, use of gravel for a stable fill material, new piping, new concrete, and a drainage system. Mike was very easy to work with and did a great job of keeping us informed at every step and was very willing to discuss the state of the art repair techniques he used and to incorporate things we wanted to add. Mike and his crew always kept us appraised of the schedule and were careful to be as unobtrusive as possible to the surrounding landscape. The project came in on time and under budget. Mike believes in getting the job done right. We are looking forward to using our ‘new’ pool for many years to come. Thanks for a job well done!

Michael Gray, of Catalina Pools replaced our pool steps and provided a new liner. The pool was installed originally in 1986. Due to a leak @ the steps; our water bill was outrageous the past several years. Michael estimated the job, we signed a contract, and he completed the job in a very reasonable time frame. I was shocked when I saw how poorly the original steps were supported and back filled. Michael’s company installed the new steps and back filled with concrete first then crushed stone. An elephant could now walk down these steps.

After the steps were completed; they installed a new vinyl liner, and repaired the sinking pavers that were the result of the leaking steps. We had Michael return at the end of the season to apply the pool cover and winterize the pump and filter system. Prior to Catalina Pools, we dealt with four other pool and replacement liner companies. None of those other so called pool experts could even come close to the Quality, Experience, Craftsmanship, and Price of Michael Gray’s Catalina Pools. We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Catalina Pools to deal with any and all pool needs. We will never call anyone else.

As a Custom Home Builder we emphasize on attention to detail. When Catalina Pools was building our pool, they definitely placed a close attention to detail and scheduling. They provides a high level of personal attention to every step of construction process. I would rate Catalina Pools the highest level of honesty and integrity as well as one of the best Pool Builders in the industry.

We had the pleasure of working with Mike for our pool reno. He did a liner replacement, converted our pool to a salt water system, and installed a safety cover. He did a fantastic job! The pool had a much needed update and we were very pleased with his work and timeliness. He also was very patient answering our many questions since we are brand new pool owners. Catalina Pools had fair prices considering the quality of their work and I would recommend them to anyone needing pool services in the Tidewater area!
