What Our Customers Say

REGARDING SORIN CIRSTOLU / BELL AIR COMPANY

This letter of recommendation is written because I decided to tell you about a thoroughly reliable and honest, very knowledgeable, and devoted general contractor. He has done two major construction projects for me, one a rebuilding of a therapy pool enclosure and control station, that was built incorrectly by a previous contractor, and the second, replacement of an entire driveway, walkway, and patio, to solve problems with water drainage, and to create an artistic result as well as a functional one.

His work and his workers were very skilled, prompt, and careful, and my wife and I are extremely satisfied with his performance. I have some minor knowledge of the building business [I am the only one in my family who is not a building contractor], and I have yet to find an area of construction that Sorin is not an expert in. Sorin was here, himself, every day of the projects, to supervise and plan, and did not turn over direction to a subordinate [or to me!!]. He was respectful of my wishes and needs, and could adapt the project so that it was not only splendid in appearance and function, but economical as well.

He did not ask me to write this letter, and my wish is to give you a gift....the ability to discover and hire a thoroughly competent and honest contractor, who knows how to get the right job done, in the right way, at the right price, on a very timely basis. I would rush to hire him again, the next time a construction project is needed. Sincerely,

Malin Dollinger, M.D.

"Sorin, the man with the big smile… who put a big smile on my face from start to finish! This sums up of what one would want to say about a great general contractor. A few other words come to mind: professionalism, punctuality, cleanness, integrity, creativity, positive attitude, hard working and beyond the call of duty. May I dare to say that we have become friends? I highly recommend him!"
– Terry P., Malibu, California

"Endless Pools referred Sorin Cirstoiu and I could not be happier. He is a very personable and highly competent contractor. He and his crew finished the job plus improvements in the quoted timeframe. I am so please with him and his work and recommend to other in a heartbeat!"
– Christel M., Fountain Valley, California

"Sorin did a terrific job, and was very responsive and communicative. He's an excellent representative of your company"
– Suzanne M., McKevitt Landscape

"Sorin is a master craftsman. His work is superb. Sorin also takes the time to work out all the finesse details to ensure a pool that functions as well as looks beautiful."
– Nikki H., Malibu, California

"Great installer, friendly and very helpful."
– David M., Beverly Hills, California

"I was extremely pleased with Sorin and his work. Before meeting with Sorin I wasn't sure if I wanted my Endless Pool in-ground, partially in-ground, or aboveground. I wasn't even sure exactly where I wanted to put it. Sorin patiently reviewed all of the options and came up with a plan that worked beautifully. He was creative in using leftover fencing material for the sides of the pool and for the equipment enclosure. Everything looks great! I highly recommend Sorin as someone who is responsive, punctual, honest and fun!"
– Maritta A., Simi Valley, California

"My wife and I are very happy with the pool and its installation. Not only did he do an excellent job with the installation but also he has agreed to work on the pool if I ever have any trouble with it."
– Loomis J., Mission Viejo, California

"I highly recommend Sorin Cirstoiu and Bell Air Co. for the installation of your Endless Pool. He was very helpful in the design and planning stage, completed the pool for the contracted amount and time allotment."
– Brian D. Fox, Malibu, California

"Sorin...  took on the project and with your company's assistance gave us a wonderful pool in which to exercise and relax! He offered some great ideas for the finishing of the pool. The entire process was a positive one. He is a real professional!"
– Grace F., Burbank, CA

"I want to acknowledge the outstanding work Sorin Cirstoiu did on installing my pool and the required electrical and fan installation. I'd initially objected to having an assigned contractor who lived a significant distance away across some of Southern California’s heaviest traffic corridors. But once I met with him, I realized I'd been extremely fortunate. Sorin proved to be very creative and extremely personable, in addition to being a highly competent contractor. [My Endless Pool] arrived on Thurs, 7 April and I left him a voice mail. Friday he returned my call, and described his schedule for the first part of the next week. I was in no hurry and so advised him. 10 minutes later he called to ask whether he could come on Sunday! Worked all day Sunday and returned to complete it Monday. He had previously installed all the added electrical lines plus a wall fan--at his suggestion. I'd gone with his high-end recommendation, and have been very happy with its features, and grateful that he hadn't simply gone basic. He's a very articulate representative for Endless Pools."
– Rick E., Riverside, CA

"For 2 years I had been trying to think of a way around the logistical problems of installing an Endless Pool on my Patio, in the Hollywood Hills. I had almost given up when I was referred to Sorin Cirstoiu.  He immediately took all the problems on as his own and solved every one.  He and his employee are such perfectionist that my pool looks like it's been there forever and fits beautifully into the surroundings.  In order to make sure that I could have the pool ready as soon as possible, Sorin even worked until 9:00pm a couple of nights.  Everything about the experience was above and beyond the call of duty.  I would recommend him to anyone for their installation."
– Darcene M., Los Angeles, Ca
 
"Thank you for the referral of Mr. Sorin Cirstoiu. Sorin did an excellent job servicing our pool. I am very happy with his services. I would recommend him to others."
– Patricia and Carter M., Winnetka, CA

"Much to my delight, Sorin was nothing like the contractors we've used in the past. He is an honest, skilled, and responsible contractor who takes pride in his workmanship and cares about his customers. I would recommend him wholeheartedly to everyone."
– Linda S., Lakewood, CA

"We hired Sorin Cirstoiu to install a customized Endless Pool in April of 2006. Since our project was located some distance from Sorin's typical working area, he encouraged us to find local contractors who would not need to pass travel expenses on to us.  No local contractors demonstrated comparable abilities and knowledge specific to Endless Pool installations, so we persuaded him to take on the project.  Sorin's work is of excellent quality and his estimates were reliable on all phases of the project. We also feel that we benefited greatly from Sorin's many creative solutions to logistical and aesthetic quandaries that arose.  A year later we contracted with him to upgrade our old and failing heating and air conditioning system. Once again, his estimates were reliable and we feel we have a good value for his work."
– John and Katherine G., Wildomar, CA

"When we decided to purchase our Endless Pool, we wanted the very best craftsman to complete the installation.  Fortunately for us, the folks at Endless Pools recommended Sorin Cirstoiu and he has exceeded every expectation.   It is rare today to find a contractor who is honest, trustworthy and who meets every commitment made.  Sorin is that rare find.  We have been so pleased with the quality and reliability of his work that we are contracting with him to do other construction projects at our residence.   Obviously, we highly recommend Sorin for Endless Pool installation and any other projects requiring a dedicated contractor."
– Steve and Shirley L., Rancho Cucamonga, CA

"The adventure of adding an Endless Pool to our home was one we looked forward to with hopes that the experience would be easy and completed in a timely manner. We chose to enclose our pool in a sun room, which added a few challenges, and we hoped that we could coordinate everything seamlessly.  Once we added Sorin Cirstoiu to the mix, things went swimmingly!! Literally!!  We were swimming in our pool in no time!  We highly recommend Sorin!! His expertise, knowledge of the Endless Pool and construction put our minds at rest. His instant availability to our job, excellent work ethics and good nature made this project a dream come true.  We are enjoying our pool every day! Thanks to Sorin!!!"
– Jack and Maureen G., Torrance, CA

Bell Air has provided the Learning Castle and La Canada Preparatory with superlative air-conditioning service.  [Sorin Cirstoiu's] technical knowledge and efficiency are second to none... Based upon my six-month experience with Bell Air, I cannot imagine havng our schools' air-conditioning serviced by anyone else."
– Steve Miller, Maintenance Supervisor, La Canada/Flintridge, CA
The Learning Castle and La Canada Preparatory

 Thank you, Sorin.  Thank you so much for doing such fast work, and at such a reasonable price.  I have never met a contractor who kept his promise to be there when he said he would, and be so willing to do even the smallest repair, rather than trying to sell us on work that wasn't necessary.  I will be more than happy to let all my friends and relatives know about you."
– Harvey Branman, Burbank, CA

 My air conditioner had not been serviced for years.  When I called Bell Air Co., Sorin came by and personally did the work.  He cleared away the brush for me (not asking the gardnerer to do it), washed out the inside, replaced worn parts, and cleaned the unit with an acid bath.  It looks almost new now and it's working great!  Sorin also explained to me everything he was doing and why it needed to be done.  That personal touch gave me a feeling of comfort.   He knows what he's doing!"

"Sorin built a patio cover for us that is exactly what we wanted only better.  It is beautiful and highly functional, a very wonderful addition to our house.  We are very please with his work, and highly recommend his services.  He is thorough, professional, and very detail-oriented.  We plan to use his services for another project very soon."
– Beverly Phelps,  Banker, Burbank, CA

"Sorin at Bel Air Co. is  a pleasure to work with, it is rare to find these days a person with integrity. He is punctual and completes the job as promised. His care to detail in his workmanship is note worthy, I have yet to hear he was called back due to not fixing a problem correctly the first time. I have referred him to my clients and he has consistently made me look good. Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
