Report
Carlton Pools did an AquaBrite upgrade on our 30 yr old pool in Fall 2019. We were very happy with the process. 2 yrs later we are still happy with the upgrade. We use the local store for our pool water testing & chemicals. We are happy with the staff & water treatment results. Plus the store is close to us & on my errand path. The few people that I know with pools, I suggest Carlton for water testing. I trust their results.

Critical: Professionalism, Punctuality, Quality, Responsiveness, Value Terrible experience thus far. It's been almost a year since we signed the contract and Carlton took most of the payments just to hit us with a massive unexpected delay at the last step. They are non-responsive and completely unwilling to rectify the situation in accordance with the signed contract. Stay away. Service: Inground pool installation

It has been almost 2 years since Carlton has completed my renovation job on my pool. I had a list of warranty issues that were discovered immediately after the job was completed. I want all prospective customers to know that NOT ONE warranty issue has been resolved to date. NOT ONE! I have called their warranty division and Pablo Mattos (site supervisor) doesn't return phone calls or texts. Pablo was here 6 weeks ago and promised to complete a few items within a week.
I haven't seen or heard from him since. I think it is important to let everyone know my story. I have been more than patient. Horrible Customer Service IMO! Update 6/22. Going on year 3 now without any resolution to my warranty claims. No returned calls. No one at Carlton cares. NO ONE!

Most disrespectful company ever. does not return your call, do not answer your phone calls texts. they take their money upfront and whenever they feel like it they show up to do certain tasks. never tell you when they're coming and random people are in your yard. pernits were approved in august of 2021 starting digging in November and until today they're not done. site looks horrible because they tore up the entire yard and entrance to the back yard and wont fix it. concrete left over were thrown around no care in the world. coping stone pieces thrown around. piles of stone and dirt left over again destroying more grassed area. overall horrible experience and wouldnt recommend them to anyone.
