I would not not recommend them. While the work is fairly high quality, Our 4 month project took almost a year.

This company is still building our pool- but the service has been horrible! We were originally told our pool would be complete by beginning of July- now beginning of August- the pool is nowhere near complete.
Not sure how pool companies work but the majority of the time we have had only 1 individual working on the pool and some days no one even shows up. The other day a man showed up with his young (10 or so) son who was playing in the pool while his father worked. Very unacceptable.
A few elements of the pool design were left off the pool.We are extremely disappointed in this company and feel we were fed a bunch of lies to get our business.
We will update this review once the pool is complete and will review the pool quality.

We chatted with Joe for an hour or so telling and showing him what we wanted. Then interviewed a bunch of others...all of which did more talking than we. When Joe returned he provided us with a D size drawing of EXACTLY what we wanted. Started in 8/2011 and finished in 3/2012. Plus we added an outdoor kitchen area and concrete slab. The pool is stunning and we have spa and gas fire pit with seating. The rock work - looks just like the granite boulders we dug up in yard. Excellent work and communication
