Having extensive experience in pool and spa cleaning and chemical maintenance, repair, sales, and construction, Kevin works to develop a relationship with each of our customers. Knowing about each customer helps Kevin find the best solutions and options for our customers and whatever they might need for their pool, spa, or fountain!

Customers Love Us
From Yelp:
“We've been with the Del Rancho Pool & Spa team since 2015 for our pool maintenance. They are super professional and friendly, and have never missed a week. Really great customer service and courteous staff.
We also went with Del Rancho Pool for our pool remodel. Chuck Grosse and Ken Kirven are awesome. Very professional, Chuck was patient and advised us on how to go about choosing the right materials and color, etc. for our pool. The demo team did a super job, clean, courteous. Chuck recommended the Poolsafe brand for our pool cover, which is just fantastic and looks & works great.
We are so happy with the result. Highly recommended!”
From a 'Thank You' card:
“We just wanted to say thanks for the beautiful work you did on our pool and spa and also for being such an incredible company to work with. Every employee was professional, courteous, timely, hardworking, and thorough. We have nothing but compliments for you and your company and would recommend you to all.”
From NextDoor:
“This year I worked with Chuck Groose and Ken Kirven in updating and resurfacing my existing pool, my outdoor covered family room and creating a new build full service outdoor kitchen. Being a designer and working with contractors often I have high standards and they were met 100%. They are experienced, reasonably priced and timely. I would recommend them over and over again.”
