Long story short. Wanted a pool liner installation. Poorly done work. Continually tried to call to correct the problem. Said they would come out and would not show up. Tried calling owner SEVERAL times and when they asked who was calling all of a sudden he was on vacation. Owner screens calls. Left messages for Jim to call back. He never did. Worker that did the work admitted it was not done properly. Problem was never corrected and full payment was made to this company. Pics show some of the wrinkles and gaps that are going to eventually rip. I would not recommend them to anyone! Awful.

Critical: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness When asking questions on a pump that I purchased almost a year ago the rep waited on two different customers. Was not helpful in getting information on what or who to contact for warranty service. Will not use this store again. Service: Swimming pool equipment repair

This was the store I used all the time for everything. I went in tonight to have my water tested about 30 minutes before they closed. Was told by the guy they stop that at 4. Funny I have never been there before 4 any other time. So went down the street had them test it purchased my ladder and chemicals from them. A simple 30 second test cost them 350 sale. Lesson learned.

Purchased a pool and was told it would be installed in about 2 weeks. Two weeks pass so I check on things (after no response from messages left) and am told they have no idea when it would be so we could find another installer if we'd like. Um no, you had no problem telling me a couple weeks ago and lying to my face when they clearly had no clue at that time either. Got a refund and went somewhere else, for cheaper too.

After reading these bad reviews I'm not surprised about any of it. I met another lady last weekend who is now looking for someone to install their pool because the same thing happened. Save yourself the disappointment.
