They did a beautiful job on the construction of the pool. We have about 1900 sf of travertine decking. For 9 of the past 12 years we have had to replace 30 to 60 pieces of travertine every year for 9 years. We made it just past the 3 year warranty before all the problems started. So if you do the math, its cost us 1500 to 3000 a year for the last 9 years. They washed their hands and all responsibility of us just after the 3 year warranty was barely up. The last photo is of the demolished travertine decking that we are having all replaced. I do not recommend Marquise pools.

Hold customers ransom if they underbid a job. Won't finish the work unless customer pays everything upfront regardless of what is stated in the agreement. BAD BUSINESS.

So have been saving for a long time for a new pool and got a couple different companies to come out and give me bids. Marquise pools was definitely the my favorite of the three for a couple reasons. One the gentleman that came out to look at the job Marvin Cruz was extremely knowledgeable and informative even showed me some ways to cut cost and add some things to the project! The job went smoothly without a hitch and everyone was very kind and professional. I have since recommended my sister and my neighbor to them and they had extremely good service as well. If you live in the Houston area and

Wanted to say a big thank you to Marquise Pools for our awesome pool. I have four friends that have also gotten their pool built by Marquise and we all love not just the pool but the entire experience. Greg and his team gave us the best design by far and followed up on every question and concern. When my wife and I made a few changes it was not a problem and they didnt hit us with huge change orders. Even after we have had the pool for over a year any time I call Greg he gets right back to me and is there to help. If you want to have a top quality pool built with premium materials and great

What a great job! I did a lot of shopping and comparing various pool companies but most of them were the same. Cookie cutter bare bones choices across the board. What I got from Marquise was a one of a kind, high end custom pool and entertainment area. From the design through the build process the customer service was awesome. Of course the weather impacted the schedule but the entire team did a great job getting the project done on time. Change orders, all of which were of my own request, where handle fairly. The warranty and after installation service has been awesome! Defective lights were replaced

My dad can't swim in our new pool because Marquise failed to install a handicap railing which was promised in the original contract. There were several other issues including many dead plants but the fact that my dad can't get in and out of the pool is the most upsetting. If the company cannot deliver pools to accommodate the handicap, they they should not make those promises. They changed subcontractors during the 18 month process. The project has not been completed. Disappointing
