Reviews
What customers say
Recent customers describe Barrington Pools as reliable, professional and competent. One first-time pool owner valued helpful guidance and advance scheduling for seasonal openings and closings, while a customer with an automatic cover and PebbleTec finish says owner Mike returned after the job to check the work. One recent customer reports three visits to open the pool and a bad heat exchanger in the company-installed, under-warranty heater after chemicals were added; the customer says the company would not take warranty responsibility and that the ground was not level.

Do not waste your time here, after the pool installation this company accepts zero responsibility and your warranty isn’t worth the paper it’s written on. On open up they will need 3 visits for all the things they forget to do. I think they are living off a reputation that died long ago. They will use scare tactics of bad pool installations to get you to pay them 30 percent more than any other pool contractor. The quality isn’t any better they can’t even level the ground. Took their technicians 3 visits to open my pool. After they opened it and added chemicals my pool heater which is under warranty that was installed by them had a bad heat exchanger.(they claim to water problems on a previous occasion they said it was sabotaged) They were the ones that added the chemicals on start up.i will post the receipts so you can walk into doing business with these people with eyes wide open.

We used Barrington Pools to install a new automatic pool cover as well as a new Pebble Tec surface finish. Everyone that was working on this job was top notch and knew exactly what they were doing They were always available for any questions we had during and after the work was completed. One of the owners, Mike even came out after the job to make sure everything was done perfect. Great people to work with. I highly recommend
Randal Johnson
Barrington Pools has been very reliable, professional, and responsive. As a first time pool owner at a new house, they had helpful staff educate me on everything involved. We had our pool, mechanicals, and deck all updated. The team took care in evaluating every detail down to the water drainage. Everyone at every level works hard and gives me confidence that my pool is well taken care of. I recommend the twice per week service. It has worked well for us. They are also very good at planning the openings and closings well in advance. We are very happy.

Barrington Pools designed, built and services our pool (a 2+ hour drive from Chicago). We have found them to be reliable, trustworthy and competent - they do what they say when they say they will do it. And we have stuck with them as servicers of our pool despite the long drive and increased resultant cost because of their skill and competence.
When something goes wrong with the pool they are generally able to fix it the same week. We have found dealing with both Isabela in customer service and the on-site teams to be great.
Could not recommend Barrington more highly!
Ted Fountas
Barrington Pools has been, and continues to be, a pleasure to work with. Their product is excellent!
From our initial discussions to the completion of our pool, our experience was wonderful. They helped us every step of the way!
As important is that their service continues to be impeccable. We have used them for years. Friendly and reliable customer service is always followed up with quick, courteous, and high quality work delivered by their field service team.
We highly recommend Barrington Pools!
