What an amazing experience!! From the first on site meeting to fill day, Ryan, Matt, Andrew, Megan and Nathan were all wonderful to work with! What stood out most was the honesty and transparency—they set clear expectations early on and followed through on every promise. Our project was completed right on budget with no surprises, which is rare these days. Even more impressive, everything stayed on schedule, with no timeline issues or delays (40 days from dig day to fill day and that included weekends). Each phase moved along exactly as planned, and we were kept informed every step of the way. Their attention to detail truly shows in the final result. From the layout and finishes to the small touches that make the pool area feel polished and complete, Salvo Pools’ workmanship is top-notch and you can tell they take pride in what they do. Communication was excellent throughout the entire process. Any questions we had were answered quickly, and updates were consistent and clear, which made the whole experience stress-free. Even 4 months after completion, they are still available when we have random “new pool owner questions”! We highly recommend Salvo Pools if you are looking for a team that delivers high-quality work, stays on budget and on time, and treats you with honesty and respect! Our backyard has been completely transformed, and we’re thrilled with the results. We couldn’t be happier with our project and the entire experience from start to finish!

We are very thankful to Salvo pools for making our dreams of a pool a reality. Our pool turned out to be better than we ever imagined. Our pool is a 16 by 34 rectangle with a tanning shelf, deep water bench, and wide steps cut into the paver deck. 8 feet in deep end. About 24,000 gallons, salt water chlorinated, heated by the sun and uncovered. I would like to emphasize that Salvo was quite different from the other pool companies we consulted. Their evaluation process was far more detailed and involved multiple visits. The result was a proposal that reflected all that we wanted. We thank Seth Garrett and Nathan Pugh for this initial process to get us to contract signing in good shape. We can’t say enough for Nathan‘s practiced eye in setting the site for the actual pool, considering the elevation and drainage, and the two large oak trees that had to be considered. The way the pool lies on the property is simply perfect, and is something we did not think was possible. The pool construction went according to plan, quicker than we imagined. It took three months from initial dig until the pool was filled with water, and that included time for Christmas and New Year’s break. The teams of subcontractors handling the specialized work were all highly skilled and considerate of us and our property. We want to thank especially Matt Dillard, our project manager, and Andrew Phillips for their help with construction. In addition, Salvo was able to do a special thing for us: take a 150 year old corn grinding millstone, a family heirloom, and set it in a lovely spot in our pool deck. Finally, we think Ryan Salvo, the owner, for personally answering our questions, and for his Pool School, which left us novices with enough knowledge to make a go of it. In short, we highly recommend Salvo Pools. They have done something truly beautiful for us and our family.

After tons of research and asking friends who had pools or had them installed, salvo was mentioned quite a bit. Upon an onsite visit and well in depth quote with their team we were pleasantly comfortable with hiring Salvo pools to turn a sketch I had drawn up on paper and turn it into reality. Their team members as well as Ryan (owner) not only stayed in constant communication, were extremely professional and punctual, they also made suggestions that would better suit my family’s needs and wants but also the performance of our pool before during and after construction. They made the construction process a breeze, handled HOA permits as well as city permits professionally. We are utterly amazed and appreciative of how the Salvo team went above and beyond to accommodate what we were looking for and functionality of a pool especially as 1st time pool owners. Very pleased to learn that they also provide a pool school for new and previous pool owners that goes in depth with maintaining and functionality of all pool equipment as well as getting the very best out of the interior of the pool for long lasting enjoyment. If you want a pool that exceeds your expectations and level of work along with a headache-free process. Salvo pools and team is the way to go and smartest choice you will make. Thank you to Salvo Pools to include ALL team members for making our dream pool come to fruition and looking forward to many many years of enjoyment! ~ J

The team at Salvo was very easy to work with and finshed ahead of schedule. We want to thank everybody we worked with; Matt, Seth, Nathan, Jay and Brittany. They were all very responsive and helped us through this first pool experience. It had some challenges because we have a very high water table and all but two foot of the pool had to be built above grade, but everything turned out great. We highly recommend Salvo Pools to anyone wanting a pool of their own.

The team at Salvo Pools is literally unmatched. From start to finish they were there to answer questions, give suggestions, and guide us through our pool build. Matt handled the construction smoothly and coordinated with our home builder to make sure everything aligned perfectly. Once the pool was complete, we even got a gift basket filled with pool goodies. It really was such a nice touch! Thank you Matt and all of the Salvo team for providing a fun and smooth experience. We LOVE our pool!
