The worst. They charged a $250.00 deposit just to book an appointment. It was explained to me that this was necessary as people would often cancel last minute or not show. After receiving several other pool quotes and even designs without paying a single penny I realized how outrageous this was and called to cancel my appointment 3 weeks ahead. They refunded me $150.00. So essentially they charged me $100.00 to be in their calendar for a couple weeks even though they never did a minute of work for us. Insane business practice. I can not imagine trying to build a whole pool with this company.

We love our pool and service of this family/local business. We had three companies come out and Jordan Courage was the only one who listened to out requests. Full on pregnant in the hot sun she was here, onsite, daily. Her father, also here. Crews were on time, if not early, did impeccable work. Pricing was incredible and so easy. We were able to add on last minute requests, move a fence, add stained/colored concrete, add two gas and water and electrical outlets. Jordan suggested items I hadn't ever considered as well such as lighting, salt water, sanitization, heating of pool and spa, phone apps, cleaning service, a raised spa, cabo shelf and even holes for future umbrellas and volleyball.
A couple days after pool completion she gave birth to her first child. I was beyond grateful for her work ethic and customer service. When we move we are calling her again. Thank you Courage Pools! The Sloan Family.

As the neighbor of someone getting your pool you get one star. - no integrity no keeping commitments I agreed to allow you to remove my fence and bushes to access the neighbors yard with the machines under the condition the fence was put back up end of day due to my dogs -- didn't happen. And that the bushes were correctly replayed within a couple weeks - didn't happen. With all the choices out there pick a company with integrity instead

Called them for building a new Kavian's possibly remodeling our pool, the sales woman didn't let me finish, she was just saying we can't! We only works on blank backyard!
