We looked at two other companies and did a lot of research before choosing Emerald to build our pool. Greg did a great job walking us through the entire process and came up with a design we love. Dani was always responsive and pleasant to work with. There were a few speed bumps along the way, and some communication issues with the subs, but that is not uncommon with a big construction project. Overall a good experience and we have a beautiful pool! Thank you Emerald!

We use our pool and spa mostly at Thanksgiving, when we are inundated with lots of family from around the country. Shortly before this Thanksgiving we turned on the heater and were chagrined to discover that it didn't work. We needed help with the heater, and fast, a real problem in these days of supply chain issues. Emerald timely came to the rescue, but the problem was was compounded by the fact that pack rats had destroyed the old heater, so we needed a new one. Turned out we had leaky valves and bad plumbing as well, a lot of problems that had to be solved in short order. Emerald got it done.
Particularly helpful was Mike Szukala. He is highly competent, patient with an anxious customer, and he made himself available even on Thanksgiving day to help with a hiccup with the new controls. Emerald and we are fortunate to have Mike.

Emerald hooked up a new heat/cool pump and a new cartridge filter. From admin to sales rep to speaking with the owner. These guys are a professional company that I'd recommend to anyone. Services: General repairs & maintenance, Filter repair, Pump repairs & installation

I have a lot of things to say so I will keep it short and sweet. Their GM is a pleasure to work with and a real standup guy. He guided me through the process of building my pool and even stopped by once or twice to eat dinner with me. The owner does a pretty good job when he's not so angry and I appreciate his expertise on pools and spas. Looking forward to having them over for swimming and BBQ once construction is done.

WOW! WOW! WOW! And did I say WOW?! New to the area and wanted to add a heater to our pool, but only had a short window to do it before company arrived from out of state. A colleague recommended Greg and his team at Emerald Pools, and I was blown away by the fast, professional and outstanding service Greg and team delivered. The product was exceptional and worked exactly as Greg said it would. Installation was on time and extremely fast, complete with tile work, plumbing, electrical and clean up, and the communication was perfect to keep me in the loop.
And a shout out to the electrician and paver crews Greg sent to prep and clean up. The work was excellent and I can't tell there was ever work done on the patio. I would HIGHLY recommend Greg and team! Very impressed with their fast and reliable service. Now, back to my nice, warm pool.!
