We are so happy with the results and the process. Kelly showed us all the tile and finish options available. He was very easy work with and always keep us informed step by step. HIs crews were professional, on time and cleaned up after each day. They took pride in their work and results; pool turned out awesome.

I can honestly say that these guys arent quick personable and professional. Just days before my sons big fourth birthday party our pool heater blew out and also made the pool unusable because it leaks so badly. I gave this gentleman a call and not even four days later they had a new heater installed and working beautifully on our pool. Their installation is top notch and they took time and care to make sure everything lined up perfectly and looks great.
Im looking forward to calling them back soon to upgrade some of our pool controls as well as some of our lighting. Thanks again one

Some of our pool equipment got damaged during the winter storm. We were waiting for our pool builder to come and make repairs, however they were backed up. Decided to look elsewhere and found Kellys Pool Care. So glad I did! Kelly was quick to respond to my initial email and came out to assess the damage shortly after. The price was fair and he had all of the equipment that we needed. Kelly did a great job with the repairs. Now we can finally enjoy our pool again! Highly recommend!

Kelly and his team did an excellent job refinishing my pool and spa. The work was done at the pace he told me before starting. His crews were very professional and willing to answer in detail any questions that I had throughout the process. What little follow up I needed was done promptly. I highly recommend Kellys Pool Care to anyone wanting a quality company to renovate their existing pool.
