what our clients are saying

“Sally and I would like to thank all of you at Modern Pools for building our swimming pool and Koi pond at our new home. We have built several pools in the past and this experience has surpassed all the others. Modern Pools gave us a schedule, stuck to the schedule, kept a clean worksite, and delivered a beautiful, flawless pool. We are especially pleased with your workmanship, professionalism and attention to detail. You are all a pleasure to work with, we would not hesitate to use Modern Pools again or recommend you to friends.”

“I can’t say enough good things about Jan with Modern Design+Build.  He built our pool in 2004 and we are still friends with him and Keli today.  The worksite was always clean, they were flexible with changes during the job and very fair on all cost.”

More than once, they have helped take our project to the next level through design and through construction. Communications, management, and execution are always on point and on time. If you want your project done right let Modern do their thing.”

“From the design to the finished product, Modern Pools, was on schedule and on budget, Quality and creativity that tied into our total home design. Highly recommended!”

— CREED FORD III

“There is no more beautiful, functional or well-built pool than a Modern pool. Jan knows more about pool design, technology, materials and implementation than anyone I have ever met. He and Keli manage their people and projects to their own exceptional standards. If you are OK with average, go somewhere else. If you want a pool that will make you the envy of your friends and show up in design magazines and Instagram, go with Modern.”

— SETH PASKIN

“I had my pool built by Jan Sotelo (Modern Design+Build) about 10 years ago. Awesome....awesome! Great job, on time, reliable, fabulous eye for detail and always answered my calls for help when I didn't know what to do with the automated stuff. Friends and family raved about it! I wouldn't use anyone else!”

— LYNN LARSON

“Modern Pools did my pool in 2007. They were referred to me by my landscaping company. I sell homes for a living and all I hear from people are about how frustrated they get with their pool contractors....so I was prepared for that when we embarked on this. Jan and his team were a pure joy to work with from the design to the day we jumped in. They were 20% UNDER budget and a month ahead of schedule getting it done. That is absolutely unheard of in their industry. I have sent them countless clients and never had a single complaint from anyone. I would not consider using anyone else. Our pool was large and expensive and their quality and customer service exceeded my expectations.”
