Love our pool from here. Great people to work with. Small, family business. Many styles and sizes to choose from. Mostly above ground pools and supplies. Fair prices. Good installation service. We went to two other pool places and they didn't even ask if we needed help! Once a year Best Pools has a party for it's customers old and new. Before you buy anywhere else, check them out. Updated June 2022 - Worth the drive from Providence Forge to Yorktown.
Still a thriving business. They suffered some setbacks due to a fire, but they are in business and we found everything we needed. Had our pool water tested. Staff so helpful, quick and friendly. They were busy but quickly checked out.

The owner is so unprofessional. It amazes me they are still in business. I can only think it's because other customers have not had to come in direct contact with her. She would rather blame the customer for her employees (admitted) mistakes than own it. Because of her, and her alone, I would not recommend this business. I waited to do a review because I didn't want to write one with anger. Well, I figured out that will never happen.

Seriously the most educated, helpful, informative people in the area when it comes to pools! The amount of knowledge they have freely given me to upkeep my pool is priceless. Their prices are competitive and they do deals when you buy in bulk. Every time I come in, they answer my hundred questions with ease. Helped my pool go from green to mean

Bought our 2nd one from them 2 years ago to replace the old one. Bought the first one from them as well. Whenever we needed something we were treated very well, they were always timely and courteous. When second pool went in we were under the gun to have completion before our backyard wedding. There had been many rain days backing up their schedule. Somehow they were able to get us done, knowing the importance of the event for us. Went out of their way to accommodate us. We would recommend Best Pools to anyone interested in a good product and excellent customer service. Sorry it took so long to post.

Best Pools has literally lived up to their name! I am a first time pool owner with a billion questions and each time they have been very patient with me. Antonio was very polite and helpful each time that I went into the store. Over all I absolutely love Best Pools and will be returning for all my pool needs.

Great pool vendor and sales. They are excellent in their recommendations. In a no pressure environment, they offer suggestions and sound advice to make owing a pool extremely easy. Their free water test station allows you the opportunity to make your pool swim ready in under a weeks time (although your pool may vary). Great business and employees who I recommend to anyone who owns a pool.

These guys are awesome! After going to other stores for help and spending all day trying to repair my pump, we were prepared to spend $300 for a new pump. I called and then came in, but before the purchase they asked what was wrong with the old one. We showed them and within minutes they identified the problem and within 10 minutes we were done and fixed and ready to go. We only paid for parts. We should have come here first.
