Surfside is 10/10. We have had the BEST experience using them for our pool. They delivered everything they promised and we're so pleasantly surprised with the quick timeline and turnaround they provided us. Scot and his team are honest, provide excellent customer service and we will recommend them to anyone looking to build a pool!

Mike was not professional what so ever. We paid for pool service to have our pool cleaned and all he discussed with my wife was his medical conditions. I will not disclose her name/last name due to the hospital she works for- Privacy since she's a MD. We wanted our pool cleaned and she was bombarded about medical questions regarding a thyroid issue and weight loss. As well he was taking pictures of birds, amphibians, and our beach front property. Where is the privacy? The professionalism? Absolutely inappropriate. I do not recommend this company. Uncalled for! (The account is in my wife's name) Ridiculous!

Called SurfSide pools to schedule them to come out and install a new heater for my pool and Jacuzzi. From the first phone call all the way through the install, my experience was amazing. They were very competitive on the price, customer service was prompt and courteous, install team did a great job and explained things very thoroughly. I have since recommended them to other friends who shared the same experience. Thanks Scot and your amazing Team!

Recently purchased a home with a pool that needed some love. All of the equipment was in poor condition. Pumps not working. Heater was broken. Electrical issues. You name it and our pool needed it. We called surfside and everyone was extremely helpful. They sent Jake out to estimate the work. Very reasonable price. Their office staff followed up with scheduling and they even did a demo for us on how to use our equipment and what to turn off if issues arise. They were quick, efficient and our pool is looking great.

They have been better in the past, but recently they seem to have lost their customer focus. What company installs a $2600 pump and controller and then has you call the manufacturer to set it up? They should be doing that. And they used to. As a customer since 2004, I am disappointed in the direction they have taken.

Called to get a estimate for new pool. Attempted twice to get someone to call me and no one ever did! So if you need a company that will call you back- won't happen. The receptionist was rude both times. Heard an individual yelling in the background of my second call! A friend was sitting with me listening to the second call and couldn't believe how rude the receptionist was!
