Euan Petrie

Buds Spa’s and Pools did an amazing job with our backyard pool! From start to finish it just only took them 3 weeks before we were swimming. Don’t let me forget that they were the lowest of our quotes we received. They took care of all the permits and electrical/gas technicians. They were very communicative throughout the process and didn’t leave us waiting on replies if we had any questions. Lindsay was very helpful for the selections we had to made and payment schedule. Paul was the prep crew lead and was an awesome guy to deal with. Only reason we gave 4 stars was because they didn’t really ask/communicate with us regarding where to put the left over screening sand they didn’t need. They unfortunately cover and buried our black garden rock that we spent time relocating from one garden to another. So that’s a clean up we will have to do next year. Right now we just want to swim!

Joey at Bud’s Pools did a stellar job helping me troubleshoot and fix my pool issues from the parts counter. He took the time to explain what I needed and helped me sort out the pipe connections properly. Thanks to his advice, the pool is now operating perfectly. Knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely helpful—excellent customer service!

Bud’s Pools installed a plunge pool and we are so happy that we chose this company to work with. Although this can be scary and stressful, Bud’s made it a pleasant experience. Lindsay was our point person, and she is phenomenal to work with. Communication is excellent. We had lots of questions and Lindsay always made us feel that we were tops on her list. She was excellent at keeping us informed, and scheduling the various stages of the project. All of the crews they used for the various stages were long term associates of Bud’s Pools and they were great. Professional, prompt, friendly and thorough. We went with Lindsay’s recommendations for gas, electrical and carpentry and again, excellent experiences with everyone involved. The follow up water and equipment orientation were great, informative and not too technical. They took away all the concerns and made it very easy to understand. If you are thinking of installing a pool, give the fine folks at Bud’s Pools a call. You will not regret it. Pete & Lilly Walker

We finally did it!! We looked around for years for a company that could do our pool for an affordable price. Called buds and spoke with Lindsay and she was amazing from beginning to end. Buds set a 3 week time table for our pool (depending on weather of course) weather was perfect and the pool was finished in 3 weeks! We had a minor issue and we contacted buds and they came and fixed it asap! I highly recommend using them. Thank you too everyone at buds you guys are amazing! If you need help with anything to do with Pools, ask for Chris really nice guy. Went out Of his way to FaceTime me when I had a pool problem and I truly appreciate that customer service. I only come here for all my pool issues.

We recently had an inground saltwater pool installed, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the entire process—from start to finish, everything was seamless, professional, and beyond our expectations. The entire project was completed in just three weeks, which is truly impressive given the level of detail and quality involved. From the moment we reached out, the team was incredible. Andrew, Bill, and Lindsay were absolute standouts—each one of them was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly responsive. They kept us informed every step of the way, patiently answering all our questions and ensuring we were comfortable with every decision. Andrew brought a calm confidence and deep expertise that instantly put us at ease. Bill was hands-on and made sure the workmanship was top-notch throughout the build. And Lindsay was a fantastic point of contact—always organized, cheerful, and helpful with scheduling and communication. The end result is more than just a pool—it’s a dream backyard oasis that our family will enjoy for years to come. The saltwater system is smooth and low-maintenance, exactly what we hoped for, and the craftsmanship is outstanding. We highly recommend this team to anyone considering a pool. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail set them apart. Thank you again to Andrew, Bill, Lindsay, and the rest of the crew—you’ve turned our vision into a reality, and we’re so grateful!
