Absolutely thrilled with our pool remodel!
From start to finish, Ron and Thomas Pools was professional, responsive, and detail-oriented. The transformation is stunning — better than we imagined! The crew was on time, respectful of our property, and kept us informed throughout the entire process. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool renovation.

Ron from Thomas Pools is simply the best—kind, knowledgeable, and incredibly professional.
From our very first meeting, Ron made us feel completely at ease. He took the time to really listen to our vision for the backyard, gave thoughtful suggestions, and approached the remodel with unmatched expertise. Throughout the process, Ron was meticulous with every detail, constantly communicating and making sure we were always in the loop.
One of the things we appreciated most is that Ron respected our budget and stayed true to the quoted timeline. No surprise expenses, no last-minute changes—just honest work and reliable follow-through. In today’s world, that kind of integrity is rare and so appreciated.
The end result? Absolutely breathtaking. Our backyard feels like a personal retreat, and friends have told us it looks straight out of a magazine. We’re beyond happy with how it all turned out.
But more than that, Ron’s kindness and genuine nature made the experience even better. He treated us like family from day one—and now, that’s exactly how we think of him. If you’re dreaming of a backyard transformation, we wholeheartedly recommend Thomas Pools… and especially Ron. He’s not just a great pool guy—he’s part of our family.

Thomas Pools did an amazing job with our pool remodel. It came out exactly how we wanted it. Eric Villafana was so helpful and always available to answer any questions. From the design stage to the construction Eric was there every step of the way to make sure everything was running smoothly. He really went above and beyond to make our dream pool a reality. Thank you Eric and Thomas Pools!

We had interviewed several pool companies and had heard horror stories of friends purchasing pools and the companies stopping construction and leaving half way. With such a heavy investment we wanted to make sure we chose carefully. In comes Ronny. He gave us an estimate and chatted with us for a long time and even did a magic trick! He answered all questions thoroughly and he made us feel at ease. We decided to go with Ronny at Thomas Pools and we are so happy we did. It was amazing seeing this company at work! They did an amazing job and everyone that comes to our pool loves it. The worst part of this process is no longer seeing Ronny on a weekly basis!!! If you need a pool , don’t take a chance and make sure you go with Thomas pools!

Where do I begin? We had a limited space to install a pool. The first company we contacted was unimpressive - very generalized design plan, and there were hidden costs (e.g., they said the pool equipment would be a separate cost and would not commit to a fixed amount). No thank you - that is a stupid way to conduct business in my opinion!
Then we met with Ron from Thomas Pools. Within a matter of minutes of my wife and I talking with him, and hearing his ideas for our pool and spa, we knew that this was the company for us!! He kept enhancing the design, providing meaningful and well-reasoned suggestions most all of which we incorporated into the final project. We especially appreciated his concern for easy access for my wife who had dual hip replacement. The contract was very detailed and specific as to exactly what we were getting and the cost for those features. The pool excavation began about a month after we signed the contract (while we waited for the final set of plans, permit to be issued by Santa Clarita, and the HOA to give its blessing).
The baby bobcat began excavation on April 3rd, and the pool was done and filled with water 4 months and one week later (almost exactly what Ron had estimated). It would have been done earlier, but our fence contractor (Art and Iron in Simi Valley - who did a fantastic job as well) was in a motorcycle accident and that delayed his part of the project.
Every sub-contractor that took part in this process was very professional, personable, and most importantly - took pride in their work. Ron was here multiple times to oversee what was going on to make sure it was exactly what we wanted. For example, on the day the gunite was poured, he was here three (3) separate times that day just to check on the work!
We did make some changes (such as upgrading the tile, adding a lot more pavers and ledger stone, and some additional plumbing and electrical to enhance the final product), so we came in about 20% over our initial contract price, but it was worth it. Everyone we have over to see the pool with its beautiful lighting, fire bowls, waterfalls, etc. has expressed how much they love it!!! Of critical importance, with Ron's design of the stairs, my wife is able to get in and out of the pool with ease!!!
If we were going to have another pool installed at another property, absolutely, we would have Ron from Thomas Pools handle the project. My wife and I could not recommend this company - and specifically, Ron Osborn - more highly.
