Our warranty issues have been resolved and new coping installed. Supply chain issues directly affected this situation and I acknowledge that. As soon as we established a secondary plan, all the communication and timing issues cleared up. Thank you.

I would have given 0 if there was an option . It's been almost 12 months since we signed the contract ( during COVID 19 time ) and was well assured by sale executive to get the work done in 4-5 months max .

Although we haven't hired them yet, they came out to provide a consultation and give an estimate and we greatly appreciated that there was no pressure whatsoever and Mike Blackburn took a lot of time with us and helped to guide us on what would be most feasible for our hillside area. He was doing the opposite of an "up-sell." Which shows he cares about the clients they serve, and not just how to get them to spend more, but to spend wisely. So while we are still on the fence about whether or not to invest in getting a pool, but if we do, we aren't even going to call anyone else

Didn't show up for initial consultation and didn't call to say they were running late. Not a good sign of professionalism before even starting the project.

I would strongly recommend you to find another company to build your pool . Main reason: Delays, delays, delays and delays. No schedule. No commitment. Poor communication. So much stress for my family. I wish we never had made business with this company
