Disaster. He never finished our pool even though we had paid 95% of the contract. We had to spend another 50% of the original contract value to get someone else to complete it. Have a pending lawsuit against him and he has been non-responsive. Spending good money to chase bad.... Avoid Shavano and Clyde at all cost. You get what you pay for. He is a scumbag who doesn't care. He does not know how to manage a business much less manage his cash flow. I wish we would have paid attention to the other reviews but when we asked him about them, he said they were lies. Clearly not the case!!

Our experience with Shavano Pools was a nightmare. They were punctual and got everything done quickly until we paid at gunite per the contract. Once they had their money that was the end of the progress. Our pool sat there for 6 weeks until they started working on it again. It was like pulling teeth to get anything done and it was only because we are down the road and could harass them in person that the pool was somewhat completed. The plaster has cracks and when Clyde's new plaster crew came out they even said it needed to be completely redone. Clyde has avoided us since then and we still don't even have automatic fill as promised. We get to drag out the hose anytime it needs water. We were never given instruction on how to use the equipment and eventually even received certified letters from the pool deck company that they were putting a lien on our home because Clyde never paid the bill. It was an absolute nightmare from the time we gave them their final payment which was required half way through. You live and learn but I hope no one ever goes through the nightmare that we did.

Avoid Shavano Pools! We saw Shavano Pools at the Parade of Homes and thought they would be a reputable pool builder. This is not the case. They used to build a lot of pools in San Antonio when they were associated with a few builders, but now are down to a bare bones operation. We started construction over a year ago and still do not have a completed pool. The owner, Clyde Toscano, has stalled and stalled after getting paid as per the contract. He has high employee turnover, hires under qualified cheaper trades during construction, and does not follow through on his word. We are extremely disappointed, especially after seeing many of our neighbors swimming in beautiful pools from other companies that were started well after ours. I cannot stress enough how much you should choose a pool company other than Shavano Pools and Clyde Toscano.
