They had a full schedule but they managed to work me in for a public pool open. They arrived early, did their thing, and they knew our pump and chlorine generator better than I did. Set us up with the correct pool start-up chemistry and took the tjme to teach me a couple of tricks - very willing to share k James he and answer my questions. Would never call anyone else.

Critical: Professionalism This company employees a person that nearly demolished my car and everyone in it. When I called to report the driver, the company hung up on me. Do not invite this company into your residential neighborhood, unless you also don't value the lives of others.

I called multiple times for the field representative to acknowledge that my family and I were building a 7k+ square foot home in Mt. Sterling Kentucky and we're indeed looking at gunite pool with spa installation professionals to accommodate our needs and wants. Upon multiple calls and reservations as my cell phone number was left for with whom named Matt was supposed to call me back to initiate this process, it was never met or even slightly acknowledged by even a text to Matt's' cell number with a read receipt the same day. No, I wouldn't advise this company as they seemingly don't care about their business especially considering I was looking to spend well over 150-200k for their services. No thanks. Go somewhere else in which I did.

Top notch company across the board. Our project was started in the spring of 2016-got off to a slow start as a result of what seemed like never ending rain, however the finished product was worth the wait. All service requests-both warranty and non-have been dealt with in a more than timely manner. No complaints!

There's so much to say, but the bottom line is; the team at Mid American cares! From the initial quote, to the dig team, from the steel and tile crew to the gunite guys.the plaster, the equipment, service and start-up crews. right up to the owner! Mid American pools are the quality you would expect from a company with such a stellar reputation, because their people care about their work and take pride in the final product.
Our work involved two-years of planning and more rain this season than we've had in decades. Mid American took their time, worked diligently and accommodated every little question we had, right up to the last day - when the owner stopped by again, just to be sure the final product was up to our expectations and his standards. Dont settle for the lowest bid when it comes to something so important for your family, quality and workmanship lasts a long time - and we intend to enjoy this pool for decades to come! Thanks guys. Thanks Tim. God Bless.

My family has enjoyed 13 years of perfect pool conditions thanks to Mid-American! The construction team re-tiled and re-plastered the existing pool with a French Gray plaster, which makes the water that gorgeous resort/spa color. They installed new equipment over the years, which has kept the water clean and as warm as we wish, April through September. The weekly service team keeps the water quality perfect.
They open and close the pool and are responsive to schedule requests. Everyone we've worked with has been very nice, which is icing on the cake. Mid-American was recommended to us by our landscape architect as the best in the region. This was after several frustrating years with another well-known pool care company, which was unable to keep the water clear and unreliable in scheduling.
