Say they have something, sells u that something, turns out what u bought wasn't what was asked for and what they said they had. Ended up not bothering going through the trouble, atleast what they sold me worked, just not in the way it was advertised or wanted. The staff did try their best to find something that worked as specified, but turned out they just didn't have what they thought they had.

I recently had my pool cover replaced. Carefree offered both the best price & quickest delivery/installation time. The office staff & Kenny, who did the actual installation, was all very prompt, knowledgeable & professional. I had a great experience. Service: General repairs & maintenance

I had to replace a pool cover that came with the purchase of the house. The ropes had been cut and the whole system sat unused for over 5 years. It had to be completely replaced. Carefree pools & Spas did an excellent job. They went above and beyond. The poor installer had to work on an extremely hot day and worked extra hours once he found a bigger issue than what we had originally thought. He did not leave until he knew it was completed and done right. I love the system and the quality. I highly recommend Carefree pools & spa.

Had no idea how difficult building a pool is, and how complicated. Carefree Pools handled everything and were so great to work with-they really paid attention to detail.

Rory and the team at Carefree are always very responsive to us when we need them. It is nice to know they will do what it takes to keep the pools and spas clean at all of our HOAs. They have a lot of accounts, but they always make me feel like a priority. Thank you!
