We love our pool and outdoor space! When COVID hit and we were home all the time, we decided to put in a pool! We did not know it would take so long, but we are thrilled with the end result. JR and Dex were extremely easy to work with and built our perfectly designed space. Each person who came to work on the project was very professional and did a good job. There were a lot of moving parts and some design changes along the way that delayed the project, but I know PBJC was doing their best.
I am so glad we chose PBJC to complete the pool and outdoor space. It was easy to deal with one company for the entire project. They also facilitated our landscaping, which was wonderful. We use the area all the time! Wish we had done it sooner.

Great company! We signed our contract in October. In April we decided we wanted to make a change in the design. We were told it would cause a delay as it was already in permitting. The change was made and digging began in June. The pool was filled with water Thanksgiving weekend. We have a beautiful backyard oasis. Jeremy was responsive when contacted with questions. The travertine crew ran by Eddie was incredibly respectful of our property.
They were quick and cleaned up after themselves. Jim completed our pool school with us and installed a few pieces of equipment. He was always very friendly and helpful. Throughout the process we had several occasions in which we spoke to Debbie by phone and email. She was always pleasant and happy to help out anyway she could.

Hello, I would like to thank PBJC for completing my pool. The final product came out AMAZING. This is the first time I have ever own a pool so I didn't know what to expect and how the process worked. However, Covid did push the project time longer than I had expected, but the result looks beautiful. Next, I especially want to thank JR Rothman because he went above and beyond any salesperson I have every dealt with.
I'm giving him a 5 STAR plus rating! He was always there to answer my calls or questions. Also, JR was very personable, and cares very much to help elevate the problems and concerns I had with the pool. Nowadays that is hard to find in an individual. So, if you use PBJC for you next pool asks for JR. Lastly, one recommendation I have is when someone call the main number there should be people in place to answer the phone. You shouldn't have to leave a voice message and wait a long period of time for a call back.
