Report
We sought designs and bids from four different builders and chose Gold Medal Pools. Kimberly really listened to what we wanted and happily made tweaks based on our feedback until we had exactly what we were looking for. Our original project manager left about half way through our build and was replaced by Logan, who stepped in and never missed a beat. He was always quick to respond, even when he didn't have good news to deliver.
We knew with a project like this that delays, be it due to weather or supplies and labor shortages, were inevitable but Logan's willingness to communicate and make sure we knew what was happening made this process much more tolerable. We love our pool and would absolutely choose Gold Medal Pools again.

Report
I started using Gold Medal Pools after they acquired my previous pool cleaning company. My pool steadily went downhill until it basically became a green pond. They didn't show up to clean the pool the week that I had my daughters birthday swim party, so I spent almost two days running to Leslie's and getting the algae/green walls cleared up. I emailed them on two occasions.no response either time.

We tried again this winter to get it fixed. They placed a work order. Came out to look. Didn't follow up. THEN they tried to tell me I had a payment past due for them coming to look. When I asked what the follow up is (what's the fix, when, etc.), they ghosted me and didn't ask for the bill again. So here we are THREE years later. Still a crack. I've sent multiple requests (a few a year). I've sent multiple pics. I've shown multiple of their employees when they were fixing our pump bc of the freeze. BUT for some reason they don't want to honor the structural integrity that should last a life time.

I had them for a monthly pool service. They performed the very basic requirements.on-site for 10 mins. Came at random times without notifications.for example they came at 8:30PM and we had guest over swimming. They needed to put chemicals in the pool---so everyone had to get out pool. One weeks they show up on Tuesday.next week Friday.etc.
