Easy water test, kind expert who showed me what additives I needed, and I was out the door. Kind old shop dog was a lovely greeter.

We went to the pool shed to have our water tested! Our pool was a mess to say the least. The guys at the pool shed gave some really great advice, made sure we had the products we needed (and didn’t oversell products) and said if we followed everything the said we would be swimming in the pool within 24 hours! They were right! We are beyond grateful for the time the guys spent with us giving advice, tips and tricks to get our pool back to where it needed to be!

I love The Pool Shed! They installed our pool in 2005 and have serviced it ever since. They have always treated me well. I would highly recommend them.

The Pool Shed and Mowry Bros are terrific! Great people and they did a beautiful job. We LOVE our pool. We love the service and the support - they took the time to explain everything. Plus they somehow took our uneven backyard, stuck a giant pool in the middle and made more level ground around it than we had before. Thanks, guys!

Cathy Bissonnette on The Pool Shed

We put in a pool this year. As with everything else, I did my research. The name that kept coming up for a quality product and great customer service was The Pool Shed. From our first meeting with Eric, to our "pool school" with Shawn, we were completely impressed. Each and every day during the installation process, an owner was on sight and working to insure things were completed to their very high standards. Everyone on their crew was professional, courteous and definitely knew their roll in the process very well. Even after completion, they were more than happy to answer questions and help with water testing issues. There is no doubt that an in ground pool is an expensive investment. I would not suggest you select your company by price alone. Make sure you are comparing apples to apples. There were many items included with the price of our pool from The Pool Shed, which others considered extras. More importantly; however, is the fact that everyone we talked to who had their pool installed by The Pool Shed had only positive things to say about the experience, the quality of their pool, and consistent great customer service long after the install. We would highly recommend The Pool Shed!!!!!
