During my 57 years of life, I have had the privilege of successfully starting, managing and selling both private and public companies. In that capacity, I have interacted, and contracted, with countless entities, both large and small. However, in my opinion, nothing in the decades in the industry could have prepared me for the level of deceit, incompetence, and absolute indifference to the clients concerns as I experienced after hiring Atlas Pools to build my family a swimming pool.
After paying them over $100,000.00 and incurring thousands more in legal fees to get them to comply with basic contract terms, Im still having to bring in third parties to clean up after their mess. I struggle to convey just how much heartache (and heartburn), grief, and misery my family has suffered during the nearly two years it took them to build one residential swimming pool - we are not talking a pool for the Four Seasons or the 2024 Olympic Trials.
I would absolutely not use this company again. However, if you are interested in staggering ineptitude, customer indifference, and the joy and privilege of incurring thousands of dollars in attorneys fees just to get them to comply with their contract terms, then this is the company for you.

Critical: Quality Do not use Atlas Pools! They built the pool in my house 2 years ago and it has rusting due to mesh wiring poking through on the stairs. Clearly a structural issue on the build. They will not honor the warrantee as it was built by the prior owner of the home. Buyer beware as they do not care about the quality of there work. Service: Inground pool installation

Atlas pools has completely let us down. The process started off great. The work was moving quick and things were getting done. Once we made our final large payment everything stopped. Work stopped, communication stopped. It has been like having a second job staying on top of our construction manager. If we don't contact him we would never hear anything. We text and call multiple times and most times there is no response.
When he does respond the information is vague. We are continually told we are "on the schedule" but when we ask what day and time they can't tell us. Turns out we aren't on any schedule. Our pool was supposed to be done 6.1.2022. Now they can't give us a date on when the pool will be completed. The professionalism is lacking. The need to get things done and help this process move along is almost non existent. The communication is horrible. We have paid thousands of dollars and deserve better treatment than this.

Absolutely horrible experience with our custom designed and built pool and spa. Our supervisor Martin stopped responding to us, and Atlas never fulfilled the punch list despite our 9 months of follow up. In the end we had to pay an outside contractor to finish the work because we just needed the work done. Additionally, the design they provided and built for our sunken kitchen was not built to drain properly, and again we needed to find and pay a contractor to resolve the issues because Atlas stopped responding to us.
We escalated all the way to the VP who had the same mentality of his team and didn't value proper customer communication or issue management. Atlas does not value its customers in any way. I cannot recommend enough that you DO NOT build a pool with Atlas.
