I would not build a pool with this company after being hired by Alan to do a stem wall after the pool he built was completed. We spoke on monday Alan stated it needed to be done asap we agreed on that Friday as I was assured that the needed dirt to build the stem wall would be on site Friday provided by bulldog. Friday comes im there ready to work and no dirt, I then bring in the dirt and send Alan a bill which to say the least after being cursed out it was never paid. Very unprofessional person and is very two faced.

We know that taking the plunge to invest into something can be very stressful at the least. After spending months of research and long conversation we took the plunge and went with Bulldog Pools. From the beginning with our salesman Todd, although new with Bulldog worked very hard to help us achieve what we wanted to Alan Anderson (owner) always answering our calls or returning them immediately and working hard to help us through the process. No construction is easy, there are hiccups along the way but everyone at Bulldog helped ease that and work with us. The final product is an amazing oasis

Being in the housing industry I have learned what the differences are in contractors and I know when I have found the best. Bulldog Pools is a top notch outfit. Allen, the owner, is a true professional who was always there if we had a question or concern during the entire construction process of our dream pool. The customer service is outstanding!! I would highly recommend Allen and Bulldog pools to anyone who would inquire. Our deepest thanks for a job well done.
