Report
Working with Carefree was awesome. They were very accommodating. I wanted to make some changes with the retaining wall and they just did it without charging me extra. I referred five other people to them, and I would definitely use them again. They were fantastic. I especially appreciate their attention to detail.

Say they have something, sells u that something, turns out what u bought wasn't what was asked for and what they said they had. Ended up not bothering going through the trouble, atleast what they sold me worked, just not in the way it was advertised or wanted. The staff did try their best to find something that worked as specified, but turned out they just didn't have what they thought they had.

I recently had my pool cover replaced. Carefree offered both the best price & quickest delivery/installation time. The office staff & Kenny, who did the actual installation, was all very prompt, knowledgeable & professional. I had a great experience. Service: General repairs & maintenance

I had to replace a pool cover that came with the purchase of the house. The ropes had been cut and the whole system sat unused for over 5 years. It had to be completely replaced. Carefree pools & Spas did an excellent job. They went above and beyond. The poor installer had to work on an extremely hot day and worked extra hours once he found a bigger issue than what we had originally thought. He did not leave until he knew it was completed and done right. I love the system and the quality. I highly recommend Carefree pools & spa.
