"My husband and I interviewed a total of seven swimming pool contractors in the Los Angeles and San Fernando Valley area. Mr. Soto came highly recommended to us by our general contractor. Without a doubt, Manuel Soto was one of the best referrals we have ever received. We hired Manuel to reconstruct, redesign and upgrade all facets of our existing pool and spa. My husband and I were very impressed with Manuel’s knowledge of pool construction. He’s equally adept with design and maintenance. He took the time to sit down and layout all the various filtering systems available. He made me color samples of plaster and deck surfaces. I remember being very concerned about the new lighting system he had suggested. I didn’t think it would create the ambiance I was looking for. He sensed my trepidation and came over one evening with his electrician. They brought what seemed like a ton of extension cords and illuminated the new set of lights. They then placed them in various areas of the pool. Manuel went the extra mile just so I could be certain and happy with the new lighting. Another wonderful quality about him was that he always took the time to explain the pros and cons of everything that we were interested in. He’s a very understanding and kind person. He handled our project with such care and patience. What a pleasure it was to work with him. Nothing was ever too trivial or complicated. From conception to final completion, Manuel Soto and his associates were highly professional and hard-working…They’re the best in the business. They also have a weekly maintenance service that I also highly recommend. But here is the absolute best part, Canyon Country Pool & Spa completed our entire project on time and in budget! That was worth everything for my husband. Manuel Soto has helped us design, create and maintain our dream pool and spa…And may I say “It’s sensational!”
