Reviews
What customers say
Customers who praised pool projects described an easy liner-replacement process and responsive communication during construction; one customer also praised Kevin’s communication about city inspections. Serious concerns were also reported: one customer described a sinking pool base, cracked concrete and a paver patio that kept sinking after installation, and said requests to address the backfill went unanswered. Another customer described unanswered follow-ups about a pool leak, while noting that the company waived an earlier bill and a later visit fixed a pump problem.
