Great service! They were very helpful in explaining everything that I needed to do to get my pool cleared up. Explain everything in great detail and answered all of my questions on pH, alkalinity and keeping the algae down. Service: Swimming pool water analysis

My wife and I would highly recommend Wideman Pools for your pool installation. From the first meeting with Rodney to talking with Kendra at the office to watching how Rodney, Mike, and John took every step important to making the pool just the way we wanted was ideal. We love the finish product and we were very lucky with the weather, so start to finish was 13 days. Pricing was very competitive with all other pool installers, and the products seem solid. I love the variable speed filter to be able to control the jets to make the pool more festive. I would definitely recommend giving Rodney a call today for your pool purchase if your in the market.

From start to finish, Wideman Pools did a fantastic job with our backyard project. We were reluctant pool purchasers. We had over a million questions. We had no idea how to care for a pool or what the continued investment would be. Wideman Pools did an absolute fantastic job of answering every question, walking us through fiberglass pool ownership step by step. They have been very quick, within hours of me asking, to answer my new questions as they pop up.

After a decade of purchasing the vinyl and metal framed pools each summer, we jumped in (literally and figuratively) to our new backyard oasis last summer. It has been wonderful for our family to have a space, in our own backyard, where we can relax and unwind. Ownership and maintenance is exactly as Wideman promised; easy. Our added expense with chemicals has been less than $100. If you are hesitant, just like we were, I can tell you there has not been a single day, hour or minute where we have regretted our investment. Rodney, Ron and Kendra are a terrific team. Thanks for all your hard work, time and patience.

I always wanted a pool as a kid, then wanted one for my kids. So when I bought my house in 2016, the pool was a big selling point. My pool is 40 years old and Wideman's first pool install. I feel pretty proud of that! It truly shows the durability of these pools. I always find Rodney and all of Wideman's sales associates extremely helpful with any of my concerns or questions. We look forward to many more years to come enjoying our fiberglass pool.

Wideman Pools does an excellent job! My family has been enjoying our Viking Pool we purchased from Wideman Pools for five years and we could not be happier. My wife and I looked at gunite, vinyl liners and fiberglass inserts when assessing this project and a fiberglass pool was the obvious choice in this part of the country. Rodney and his team have been helpful each and every time we have had questions, concerns or needs before and after purchasing the pool. Do yourself a favor, save some grief by calling Wideman pools and letting them help you!
