As home owners for 50 plus years we have experienced more than one pool renovation and a host of other homeowner projects with contractors of all disciplines. Our experience with Gorilla Pools has been above and beyond normal. From Cory to the staff we found nothing but highly motivated people taking pride in their work and happy in their jobs.

Applying Pebble Tec to our pool was well scheduled and well executed.

We were informed of every step along the way to completion, never had a request that wasn’t responded to and were always amazed how easy and pleasant his staff was to work with. If you want a beautiful pool and a pleasant experience Gorilla Pools can’t be beat.

The people at Gorilla Pools are so easy to work with. From the time we received their proposal to final setup, it was a seamless operation. Prior to the remodel, our pool was swimmable, but was tired looking with stains and cracks. Everything is so bright and new now, positively awesome! The price was very fair, the skilled crew performed everything in a timely manner. I am extremely pleased and highly recommend Gorilla Pools!

Gorilla Pools blew it out of the park with my swimming pool remodel. It was a breeze to work with Cory, Kathy, and the entire team from start to finish. Cory helped me pick out my tile and pebble tec colors when I could not decide, and I could not be happier with the end result. We even put in a new baja step with water feature that turned out amazing. I would highly recommend Gorilla Pools for all of your remodeling and repairs. These guys truly deliver excellence.

We just had our pool of 20 years upgraded to Pebble Tec with new Tile. We used Gorilla Pools and are amazed at the final product. Cory, the owner, came out to measure the pool and answer any questions. He was very knowledgable and explained different features of our pool. Then we worked with Kathy at the office...who was super patient with us when picking out a Pebble Tec design and Tile to match. The entire staff that worked on the pool were very friendly and finished any specific job in a more than timely fashion. I would recommend Gorilla Pools for any owner looking to upgrade your pool.

My pool needed to be refinished, the leveler was broken and the water line abandoned, plus the cement pad under my pool pump was cracking. They did fixed everything on my list and more. I upgraded to pebble from plaster and new waterline tile. Plus, they gave me such a great deal, that I was able to add in a sheer descent waterfall. The communication is excellent. Cory is so easy to talk to and definitely a wealth of pool knowledge. Kathy was my go to for everything daily-timing of the work and what to expect. I could not be happier with the results!

I had an outstanding experience with Gorilla Pools from start to finish. This was a comprehensive project that included replacing the pumps, filter system, and water heater, along with a full resurface and refinish of both our pool and spa—and Cory and his team delivered at a very high level across every phase.

From the initial consultation, their team demonstrated deep expertise and took the time to explain options, timelines, and expectations clearly. Communication remained consistent throughout the project, which is something I value highly. There were no surprises—just professional execution.

The equipment upgrades (pumps, filter, and water heater) were installed cleanly and efficiently, and everything is running flawlessly. The resurfacing and refinishing work completely transformed the look and feel of our pool and spa—it genuinely feels like a brand-new installation. Attention to detail was evident in every aspect of the finish.

What stood out most was their reliability and workmanship. They showed up when they said they would, stayed on schedule, and maintained a clean job site. It’s clear they take pride in their work.

Total satisfaction across the board. I would not hesitate to use Gorilla Pools again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for quality pool renovation or equipment upgrades.

Gorilla Pools did a wonderful job on our pool! We received five different pool quotes and their pricing was very comparable, but what really set them apart was their creativity and attention to detail. Cory immediately knew how to solve an issue with our old cooling deck by covering it with a beautiful new tile option, while other contractors told us nothing could be done. They also offered great Spanish tile selections. It was truly a pleasure working with Cory and Kathy—Kathy was especially helpful throughout the entire process. Highly recommend!

Highly Recommended! Cory's expertise helped guide us into the exact remodel we wanted. His crew completed our project on time and with impeccable quality. Kathy was incredibly helpful in coordinating the entire project and was always available when we had questions.

I can't say enough about the professional and work of Cory and his team, including his schedule coordinator Kathy. The entire process went very smoothly, from consultation, pool drain, plaster removal, choosing of the tile and installation, pebble sheen application, refill and pool pump start up. The application crew cleaned up thoroughly and I can't be more satisfied with the end product. One last, very important point to add - the price was very reasonable and a lot less than I expected. These guys deliver and then some, with no upselling. Don't hesitate to go with them.
