He kept me informed at every step as did the office staff. The pebble finish is beautiful and the pool is gloriously shimmering in the sunlight. Thanks Miguel." **- Maggie Riddle, October 2025, 5/5** **Source:** [Google Business Profile](https://www.google.com/maps?cid=8824315971570831988) **Service:** Custom pool construction **Outcome:** Pebble interior finish completed, project managed start to finish with proactive communication. --- > "This review is long overdue! We started or planning process in July of 2024 with Mike who was very helpful bringing our vision to life. We iterated a bit on the design before settling on the final and Mike was helpful and informative the whole time. He was also upfront about the timeline and the things that were in his control and the things that were not, like permits. Once everything was approved the dirt work started. We were introduced to Jeff and Auria. Both were excellent to work with. Jeff had a very busy schedule but was always quick to reply and addressed any issues with a thorough explanation. Auria was an absolute pleasure to work with. She communicated everything clearly and checked in every step of the way. The construction was started in January 2025 and finished in May, including the decking that was done by Bayview Landscaping. Overall we couldn't be happier with the finished pool. Lastly it's worth noting, after the pool was completed we had some minor blemishes in the pebble finish. I contacted Mike with the concern, he let Auria know and the repair was scheduled within the week. Thank you to everyone at Royal Pools for an excellent experience." **- brandt frankie, October 2025, 5/5** **Source:** [Google Business Profile](https://www.google.com/maps?cid=8824315971570831988) **Service:** Custom pool construction with decking **Outcome:** Design started July 2024, construction January to May 2025.

They do quality work and they get it done quickly. We have worked with Jeromy the PM for both of our pool projects and he is the best. He always comes by to make sure everything is running smoothly and answer any questions that I have.

Named staff across the reviews include Miguel Sanchez, Mike, Jeff, Auria, Jeromy, John, Kim, Don, Adam, and Robert. - **Communication during construction:** 5 of the 10 reviews cite being kept informed, checked in on, or responded to quickly as the primary reason for the rating. - **Honesty about what the builder controls:** 1 review specifically credits the designer for being upfront about which parts of the timeline were in his control and which, like permits, were not. - **Post-completion responsiveness:** 2 reviews describe support after the project closed, one a warranty repair scheduled within a week of being reported, one a pool still supported 15 years after installation. ### Quantifiable Outcomes Mentioned by Clients - Build duration: one review documents construction from January 2025 to May 2025, roughly four months of construction following permit approval. - Design cycle: one review documents design starting July 2024 for a project completed May 2025. - Warranty response: one review documents a finish repair scheduled within one week of the customer reporting it. - Service life: one review documents a pool in service over 15 years. ### Service-Specific Validation - Custom residential pool construction: 7 reviews - Pool and spa construction: 2 reviews - Showroom and design consultation: 1 review - Repeat customers: 2 reviews describe building with Royal Pools more than once ### Honest Context on the Aggregate Rating The Google Business Profile carries a 4.0 average across 17 reviews, with 11 five-star, 2 four-star, 1 two-star, and 3 one-star ratings. The written sentiment among recent reviews is materially stronger than the aggregate suggests, and the negative ratings concentrate in the 2020 and 2021 period. The review base is small relative to the company's project volume, so individual ratings move the average considerably. --- ## About Royal Pools by Adams Royal Pools by Adams designs and builds custom residential and commercial swimming pools across the San Francisco Bay Area.
