I believe Blue Haven has a motto that states " teamwork is the dreamwork" and I can honestly state that we witnessed the superintendents Jorge Arrevalo, Javier Garcia, and Michael Burnham live by that motto while working on our project. They are the epitome of teamwork. This "teamwork" attitude is what makes this company stand apart. Not once did we witness a lull in work on our project, all due because of the motto they live by.
Work consistently kept moving because of the teamwork amongst these fine gentlemen. And our pool designer Ray Houston kept his promise to us to stay with us through the build. He was always quick to respond to my texts and calls. Not once did we feel that our pool would not be what we were hoping for. Our project was completed in record time not only because of our timing in deciding on a pool but, mainly because of the efforts, dedication and hard work put in by everyone that put their hands on our project. I highly recommend Blue Haven for your pool project. PS. please note we planned our pool early in the year before summer was even close. Timing and planning is key to any pool build.

My pet peeve is a contractor that doesn't supervise their sub contractors. That's Blue Haven. In less than two years my pool was drained 3 times and acid washed 4 times because of the poor plaster application. Then replastered with terrible results. Streaking and staining throughout. Only see them when it's time to pay. You must be extremely pro active and call all the time for schedules. Now they refuse to remedy the terrible plaster. Don't get enticed by their low price as their product is inferior. Too many good quality companies to choose.

I would definitely NOT recommend! When they 'decide' to show up they are sloppy and inefficient. The amount of litter I had to pick up after them was obnoxious! They threw trash everywhere. Never showed up when they said and never said when they were coming. Got yelled at by the foreman regularly because their inter communication was so poor. Sooo.a year later still not finished and it makes me sick to think of the money we spent. In a nut shell.unreliable, foreman with an attitude, salesperson who only wants to sell and horrible communication. Look elsewhere.

Blue Haven built our pool, but the service has been terrible. The lack of communication and lack of customer service has been unacceptable every time we have contacted them. Our interaction with the individual service technicians has been fine, but the office doesn't communicate and is not helpful in any way. It is very unfortunate that we need to find a new company to service our pool and equipment. Also, we have certain equipment that Blue Haven installed yet they have no idea how to repair.

Do not recommend. If you use them, make sure your read the back page of the contract. They will tell you 65 working days to complete. Ours was started in September and was not finished until middle of March. Multiple screw-ups that they had to fix, some multiple times. Expect little coordination of subs from your PM. Nice guy, but was managing over 40 pool installs at same time, spread all over the place. Can not recommend them at all. I see Patrick L. is having the same experience that we did. He's right. A horribly managed company.

Horribly managed company. Signed contract March 1st and now it's about to be August and we still don't have a pool. On our 3rd foreman so I suspect the employees don't like working there either. They have lied to us multiple times and now I can't get a straight answer from them about when my pool will be finished. They have disappeared from the site without even a word for several weeks at a time.
I had to hold back payment so they can make any progress at all. Actually I held back payment because they didn't show up for a whole month (mid May to mid June) The place is full of one clown after another. They had no problem making promises to deliver but we are now going on twice as long as they said "the most" it would be. Jerry the head foreman should not be trusted. Sadly all I want is a working pool.
