Sunset Designers & Builders Inc.

Kept it simple! John tried to keep us in the budget we set. Of course we added more to our original plans. No big deal there! Comparative pricing no hidden cost or agenda. I like that he was practical, upfront and honest. From the start I felt confident that these guys were just going to TCB. Set it and forget it. His team was In and out, cleaned up daily. Small construction footprint during the entire process. Met all the way with our request. Be specific or let Sunset Designers create your own backyard Oasis! Thank you!

Dream Backyard Come to Life with Sunset Designers and Builders We recently had the pleasure of working with John (JZ) and his incredible team at Sunset Designers and Builders for our backyard remodel, and the outcome was nothing short of a dream come true. From the initial design concepts to the final touches, every detail was handled with utmost care and professionalism. What stood out to us was the seamless communication; John made sure we were updated daily, both in person and via email, making us feel truly part of the process. The team's dedication to bringing our vision to life while ensuring the highest quality of work was evident throughout. We couldn't be happier with our new backyard oasis and highly recommend Sunset Designers and Builders to anyone looking to transform their outdoor space. A heartfelt thank you to John and the entire team for making our dream a reality!

John and his team delivered on their promise to transform our backyard from a dated pool to a backyard paradise. Their communication was outstanding, offering regular updates that preempted any need for us to inquire about what would happen next. We'd happily recommend them!

Full transparency: We’ve been due to leave a review for JZ and his team at Sunset for a long time…and we’re finally doing it because the weather is cooling down and we’re not in our pool 24/7 now! From start to finish, John was communicative, detail oriented, and honest. He gave his expert opinion on our design choices, guided us through our decision-making, provided us with daily updates, and treated us like we were at the top of his priority list. Both John and Nate were easy to get a hold of if we ever had a question and were a wealth of knowledge and resources when it came to any additions we wanted. Our whole yard was transformed and has been the go-to spot for parties and BBQ’s this past summer. We honestly couldn’t be happier!

John Zahn, Nate Trimmer and his team are exemplary outdoor contractors and specialists that design amazing outdoor spaces. They delivered a modern, creative design on-time and did not cut any corners when we asked them to build a pool and spa in our backyard. John thinks of every detail and provides many options. The thing that sets John and his team apart is his communication style and processes. His daily video emails and nearly daily drop in visits set him apart from anyone else that has ever worked on our home. We love our pool so much that we also asked him to transform our front yard and driveway! We recommend Sunset Designers and Builders in a heartbeat!

What an amazing job that John Zaun and his team at Sunset did on our recent pool build. He guided us through the entire process and made it seamless. John provides you with constant communication each day and keeps you updated on any changes or issues that arise. We highly recommend his services for either a pool build or remodel. Thank you John and team!

John and his team were incredibly knowledgeable, efficient, courteous, and hard working. Their communication was wonderful, providing daily updates so we never had to ask what to expect next. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Any concern we had was immediately addressed and remedied. We would absolutely use Sunset Designers & Builders again and have recommended them to everyone who has asked for a referral. They were a pleasure to work with.

John and the team at Sunset did a great job in helping us create and build our outdoor oasis. Right when we met John my wife and I really liked how open and honest he was. All the pricing was very well documented and he took a lot of time to provide all the samples we needed. When we decided to change something he made sure it was in writing and that we agreed to the price. His communication was great and we always knew what was going on with the project at all times. We even made a mistake in a choosing some pool tile for the the spa overflow that just didn't look right and he removed it and put different tile and didn't charge us for the mistake we had made. It was great working with John and the team at Sunset. Our pool has become the neigboorhood YMCA because every kids and parent want to come enjoy our backyard oasis.

This is a long overdue 5-star review I owe Sunset Designers & Builders as we have been busy enjoying our newly built pool/jacuzzi :). John and team from Sunset Designers & Builders is definitely the top-notch pool builder that you would want to hire if you want a high-quality, well-commuinicate, smooth and worry-free pool building process. John is always quick to response, attentive and accommodating. Pool and hardscape were beautifully done about a month and half ago. We (both myself, wife and kids) now miss John's voice and his daily update video a lot because it's sort of addicting watching it every single day during the whole building process lol.

Firstly, John was extremely knowledgeable and helpful during the design process, taking time to listen to our vision, needs and preferences. He also offered valuable advice and suggestions to create the perfect outdoor space for us. John understood that I am not an architect or a designer but that I had basic ideas of what I wanted. He was so patient and worked with me helping to design the perfect yard. In addition, he also provided a detained timeline and budget, which he adhered to throughout the project. The construction process was seamless, and the team was always professional, courteous and respectful to our property. John kept us informed every step of the way by sending us daily short video updates that we really appreciated. This is not the type of company that doesn’t show up for days or that you need to hunt down. John was always available to answers any questions we had. Also, before anything serious would take place, for instance pouring concrete or placing drainpipes, he would walk the project with us to make sure we were all on the same page. The finished product is beyond our expectations, and we have been enjoying our front and back yard ever since. We have received numerous compliments from friend, passersby, and family. We are confident in recommending Sunset Designers & Builders to anyone looking for a quality pool contractor. They truly went above and beyond to ensure that we were completely satisfied with our final project.

Ever since we moved to Rossmoor we have wanted a pool, we finally did it!! I’ll start by telling you that we interviewed three different companies. The one that stood out by far was Sunset Designers & Building. We literally showed a hand drawn sketch of what we had in mind and it went from that to a beautifully designed pool which is in our home today. John Zahn from Sunset presented us with a multi page proposal which represented all the possibilities we could incorporate into our design. It was professionally written and had line by line items with pricing. During our second round we asked that John stop by and go over each line item to make sure we understood our choices. The other contractors gave us a written proposal that consisted of overall cost but not really line by line items and some loose verbal ideas. John asked us what the number one thing was that we wanted from a contractor, our response was communication. We received a daily video from John via email that explained what was accomplished each day and what would be happening the next day. It included any rain delays or work changes; we were never left in the dark as to what was taking place. The email also included a living budget that accommodated our disbursement schedule or changes we made. Most importantly John was very transparent throughout the entire job from start to finish. During our design stages John explained elevated pools, pebble tech, and water features etc, it was one thing talking about them but then showing us pools in Rossmoor that had been completed by Sunset Designers was a totally different thing. Once our design was finalized (there was still time to modify) we received a plot plan with dimensions that showed us our pool design. John took care of applying for the permits/inspections and immediately our project calendar was set. Shortly after that came a 3D rendering of what our completed pool would look like. It was at that point our dream was to become a reality. Sunset provided design ideas with sample, such as pool tiles, coping, equipment options (pumps, filtration, heaters) lighting, water features that would accommodate our in ground pool or elevated pool. The constructions details include the demo; dump fees, permit services, etc. A big plus is Sunset Designers only work in Rossmoor and immediate surrounding areas. They have dedicated crews that ONLY work on pools. Each crew that came to our home daily was friendly, answered questions, and was very skilled at their various jobs. As each day came to an end the clean up was exceptional. In the end it was very satisfying to hold up our initial 3D rendering and look out at the completed pool which included a spa, lap pool with seating, and baha shelf to see a near mirror image. Neighbors commented "it looks like a resort, “and “Wow I heard of elevated pools but this is gorgeous,”. Needless-to-say we were impressed with Sunset Designers we highly recommend that you choose them to build your dream.

Our experience with Sunset was excellent. John is an excellent communicator and was on the jobsite everyday. If anything was ever needed John was there immediately to take care of it. We made a few changes mid-way through the job and everything came out better than expected. Nate, Johns assistant is equally as good. Nate followed up quickly every time we asked for anything. He took the lead on projects and performed flawlessly. We feel fortunate to have worked with these men. I would recommended Sunset to anyone looking to put in a new backyard pool or spa.
