We LOVED working with DuWet Pools for our pool construction. We worked with Randy from the start (owner), who helped us design exactly what we wanted! From the smallest details, to explaining the pros and cons of upgrades, they helped us get exactly what we wanted. During construction, the crews were very friendly, and would explain what they were doing as they went. We were very curious and would watch "the process".
They kept a clean project environment, clean conversations and no loud or obnoxious music as many contractors do. Since completion, they are always available to help us learn how to use the equipment and coming out as we have more questions trying to learn how to best take are of the pool. We HIGHLY recommend them! They have been great to work with!

Amazing pool company professional and committed to your project. From start to finish our pool was done in 2 mos. Never had to ask what was going on, sent weekly updates, never left in question on anything. Final job was better then imagined and we love it. Services: General construction, Design

I had a pool completed by this come in the summer of 2013. They were great while everything was in under warranty. But sense the pool has been install I've been through 4 pool pumps and 3 salt cells. Call them to replace the pump again and they declined my business as they are to busy. But they can not explain why I keep losing pool pumps. On the 3rd salt cell we went to a larger one and that has worked well.

We had a great experience working with DuWet. They built a beautiful pool, deck, and pool cage for us. The communication with them was great. Each week we received an e-mail update on status and next steps. Their crew is top notch and some of the nicest people around. Our pool project manager was very detailed oriented. Noticed a microscopic hole in the pool screen and had the pool cage contractor out that day to rescreen that section.
And unlike others, once they started construction they stayed on it. We know people who have had pool builders start, then disappear for a couple weeks, and then they just show up. With DuWet we always knew what was happening and when. We were forewarned that our yard would get torn up but at least DuWet tried to minimize damage. One of the Association board members even mentioned that our pool build was the only one in the neighborhood that did not result in a cracked sidewalk as DuWet takes measures to minimize damage from the equipment. To my surprise, our cable wire was never damaged unlike others we know who had pools built. I would definitely consider DuWet if you're in the market for a new pool.
