I am so happy with my lap pool. It is exactly the lap pool I wanted. The entire company personal are professional and experts at building quality pools. Kelly was on top of every aspect of the project with his expertise and wanted everything to be perfect. I did not wait long for the project to begin and when it did, it proceeded at a fast-pace. I highly recommend this company.

We are beyond thrilled with the way our pool turned out! The communication and the process was amazing ( which is unheard of in the pool industry right now). Kelly stayed on top of the sub contractors and made weekly visits to make sure the project was going smoothly. Lauren was amazing getting our permits and helping guiding us. Ryan helped with the process and design. We are so happy with the whole team! And the best part. we were swimming in 15 weeks! We can't recommend Lakeside Custom Pools enough!

We could not be happier with our experience with Lakeside Pools! In 13 weeks we are swimming. Our pool is beautiful, exactly what we wanted. Everyone we dealt with was easy to work with and Kelly kept us updated on everything that was happening and when it was happening. I have spoken with several people building pools when we were, and I can tell you we most definitely had the best experience. Highly recommend!
