What Our Customers Say
100% Real Reviews From Real Customers
“RT Malins exceeded my expectations. Bobby is definitely a master builder. Our pool finished right when California shut down and Bobby personally ensured all of the small details were handled correctly. We have been in the jacuzzi and/or pool literally every day for the past 5 weeks. The quarantine hasn't felt like much of a quarantine to my family. Our backyard is our own resort getaway.”
Gregg Dalton
La Verne, CA
“From start to finish, the team at RT Malins was professional, communicative, and delivered exactly what they promised. Our pool was done on time and on budget. We couldn't be happier with the result — our backyard looks like a luxury resort.”
Maria S.

“We got three bids and RT Malins was the most transparent about pricing and timeline. They delivered on every promise. The quality of the stonework and the waterfall feature is absolutely stunning. Highly recommend to anyone in the Inland Empire.”
