I can't say enough good about our experience with this company. We are so happy with our pool. Whitley Rainwater was an excellent sales person who got it all going for us. David Montes was over the contruction, and was an excellent source of communication and guidance, along with his crew. David has taken our calls even after the pool has been finished. His customer service has been second to none.
Everyone involved in this process has been very communicative and professional, and just great guys. Richard Melton and his crew did an outstanding job on the concrete surrounding the pool as well. We are loving our beautiful, fiberglass, saltwater pool! Thank you so much to Burton Pools! We highly recommend!

Three years ago we shopped around for inground pool and decided to go with Burton's, not because they was less expensive but they had been in this area for so many years. Also, they offer a in floor system that is amazing! During installation that Fall the concrete decking did not turn out stamped it just looked stomped, foot prints and misc! Just a very bad pour job! I got in contact with Jimmy, he and Caleb came out to evaluate the mess.
A lot of conversations took place to reach the decision to jack hammer out the existing and pour new concrete. This year we now have the beautiful pool that we had envisioned. It took some time for it all to be resolved BUT.Burton's took care of everything! Special Thanks for going above and beyond. JIMMY, BRENT & CRAIG!

I recently had my pool serviced by Burton to address a pump flow issue. I wanted to appreciate David who was the technician that came out. His attention to detail and willingness to take the time to explain what he sees as the issue and then address each part is unique for his position. He has rebuilt my trust in Burton and their ability to address issues. Jerry thanks for taking my call on concerns and sending David out this time as he is a great talent for your organization.

This is our 2nd pool we have built through Burton Pools and while not everything went as planned, which is very typical with any type of building project, we love how our pool turned out. Josh was hands down the best construction manager I have ever dealt with. I am BIG on communication and Josh was top notch. He went above and beyond, even on items that did not fall under his responsibility- he continued to follow up to make sure everything handled properly.
I really appreciate all the hard work Josh did.and I really really appreciate him responding to the countless hours of phone calls and text messages I made to him. If you build with Burton make sure you get Josh as your construction manager/supervisor.

Burton installed our in-ground, vinyl-lined salt water pool and helped us design the space around it to provide for a natural entrance to the pool from the back deck. It's beautiful and we are so excited! Josh was our project manager and he was absolutely amazing to work with. Like, I feel bad for y'all if you don't have Josh leading the way! The teams of guys that he sent out during the project were all very kind, helpful and professional. Josh kept us in the loop of everything going on, and was super patient as we asked a ton of questions along the way. Burton guys are hard working, and efficient. They were there at the crack of dawn and did not miss days of productivity when the weather allowed it. They run like a well-oiled machine! Highly recommend!

Recently we had the coping on our old pool replaced along with the liner. Jimmie Brown and crew were awesome to work with. The crew of Bryan, Alex, Torger and David are a great bunch of guys and were very easy to work with. After their efforts, our 40 year old pool looks brand new. Very happy with the results, and wouldn't hesitate to call on these guys again for any pool maintenance related items.

Josh and his crew with Burton are AMAZING. Work is completed in a timely manner and they are very professional. Communication is great, quality of work is Amazing, team shows up ready to work rain, sleet or snow. They follow up continuously from beginning to end and makes sure you are completely satisfied before moving on to next phase of installation. I would highly recommend Josh and his crew. It was a pleasure working with you.

Burton Pools made our pool building experience seamless. The crews were professional, friendly, and knowledgeable about their product. Work was timely and efficient. They keep you informed on the the process and what the next step is. The entire organization from top to bottom care about satisfying the customer. We were well informed on the process and they updated us weekly (sometimes daily) on where we were at, any issues that arose, and what to expect next.

Federico, with Burton Pools, did a phenomenal job putting in our pool. He worked from dawn to dusk, even staying until 2am one night to make sure the concrete for our pool deck was perfect. He is so professional and personable. I enjoyed having him and his crew. He made sure everything was cleaned up at the end of the day, and kept me informed with the schedule and process. After getting started, we had to make a few changes, as well as adjusting our retaining wall and stairs.
He did a great job building them. He made it look even better than our original plan. Federico went above and beyond my expectations. It was a real pleasure working with him. Whitlee and Jay were also just as great to work with. They are very personable, quickly answered all of my questions, and were very helpful during the whole process. I highly recommend Burton Pools for anyone who is considering putting in a pool. They get a 10/10 in my book.

Recently retired in Poteau had an old above ground pool that needs some serious attention. Out of all the contractors that we've had in the last eight months remodeling our house Burton pools employee Chance Was the only person that did their job professionally the final product looks great and Burton pools Was the only truly professionals working on our house. Everyone else final product had some deviation of what we expected. Bourbon pools did exactly what they said they would do exactly how they said they would do it.
Even after I delayed the job for three months due to drainage issues. After these issues were fixed Burton pools completed the job at the original price. I don't know about everyone who works for Burton pools But if they are all like Chance Nothing but good people work at Burton pools. thanks again for a job well done

I promised my parents (not tech savvy) I'd write a review this place deserved. AWESOME! They never have to worry about their pool because the staff is always so friendly and willing to help. It gives me peace of mind living in CA knowing there's one less thing for them to stress about. Definitely recommend

We had our pool put in over the winter and we are excited about swimming in it this spring. They are finishing up the opening of the pool for swimming and giving instructions on how everything works. They have been easy to work with and when there's been a concern they were quick to address the issues and take care of it. Andrew will be working with us throughout the first year to answer any questions that come up. Thank you Burton pools for helping us make our dreams come true. Ron & Sharon Lewis
