Our family could not be more pleased. It became apparent very quickly that your attention to detail, listening and professionalism were what made our choice of pool companies very easy. From the start, showing up on time, following through on promises, and orchestrating your team to perform flawlessly made the entire process fun and stress free.

I am extremely happy and fully satisfied with the work that The Pool Man performed. It is obvious that you have high standards for everyone connected with the construction process. I also appreciate the continued follow-up that has been since the completion of the pool and spa. The fact that someone from your company still stops by from time to time to check up on my satisfaction is unbelievable in this day and age.

Let me just tell you that if you are in the market for a gorgeous, one of a kind custom pool, than this is the company to use! From the beginning the process was easy, fair pricing and timely installation. I need to specifically call out Bryan Murphy. He went above and beyond on many occasions to ensure everything was done properly and that I was taken care of. I would use them over and over again!

From the first time their designer Wes came out to discuss what we wanted to the final day they came to teach us everything about our new pool, the entire team was professional, patient, responsive, and respectful of our time. We had narrowed our search to two companies, but the reason we chose The Pool Man was because Wes was constantly asking questions and bringing up options and topics that we had not thought of.

He was patient as we made small design changes to the pool. even after they started digging. Every step of the way, they were communicating exactly what was going to happen, will happen, and had happened. Every concern we had was dealt with in a timely manner. Once the pool was done, they did not disappear. When we have questions about care and or how to operate equipment, they have been more than happy to stay on the phone with us to ensure that we have our questions thoroughly answered. Customer Service: Exceeds Expectations. Professionalism: Exceeds Expectation. Design: Exceeds Expectations. Quality: Exceeds Expectation. If I could give 10 stars I would.

Had The Poolman remodel my 18 year old pool. Laurie Barry was excellent to work with. I did not want the typical travertine finish that is all the rage now. Laurie was great about designing just what I wanted. Good working relationship with all the trades/subcontractors. Kept me well informed about schedule. Bottom line, Laurie listens, communicates, and follows through to insure every detail no matter how small is completed correctly and that I was happy with final results. Thanks

I recently built my house and heard about The Pool Man. I spoke to Wes and he showed me a amazing 3D design of how my backyard would look with the pool. Then Jimmy was in charge of the building process and did a fantastic job and made sure everything was on schedule. Lastly Cody showed me in good detail how use the PCC2000 that helps keep the pool very clean. If you have any kind of pool problem I highly recommend The Pool Man.

If you're looking to get a custom pool built and want excellent service from start to finish, then look no further than the Pool Man! We, like many others, decided we wanted a pool with our house during Covid. We looked at several different builders before deciding on the Pool Man. We had seen many neighbors deal with problems while building pools over the past year. Many companies dug the pools without finishing gunite, leaving massive holes in their yards for months.

Others had delays in materials caused by supply chain issues that left their backyards a mess for 6 months at a time. The Pool Man's process from design to build was painless. Supplies were ordered and received before construction started, alleviating any potential delays from that end. They also made sure to schedule the gunite well before construction started, so once our pool was dug it wasn't long after that it was structurally reinforced and well on it's way to being finished. From the design, price, construction schedule, etc, we've been very happy with our pool from the Pool Man. Highly recommend them to anyone looking to build their backyard oasis!

My new pool construction with Pool Man Inc finished late last year and the final result is amazing! We chose Pool Man based on recommendations, as well as the great upfront design process we had with Wes Colby. We also had a great experience through the pool build with Jimmy Bullock as the supervisor. We are very appreciative of Jimmy's positive attitude and that he had a solution for every challenge that came up.

This company has a team of dedicated professionals who can service any problem! They absolutely bent over backwards to restore my pool even though I was a new customer and it was the peak season. They promised sparkling water and they delivered. Their cleaning service has kept it in pristine condition and makes sure we get ahead of needed maintenance. On top of this everyone who works there is sincere and caring, they respond promptly to any request and explain everything that needs to be done!

Every chance we get, we're outside enjoying our own little piece of paradise. From sales/design with Wes, to building and project managing with Steven, working with The Pool Man was a pure joy. They listened to our needs and wants, shared their expertise and now we have an amazing resort-like feel in our backyard. We decided on the in-floor cleaner and it's been amazing. There's no worry about making sure the pool is clean before jumping in. The PCC2000 keeps the pool wonderfully clean! We couldn't be happier with our experience with The Pool Man and our beautiful pool.

The Pool Man installed our pool almost two years ago. During the building things were handled very professionally and concerns were addressed right away. Since then there's been a little issue here or there but the company is always super responsive and gets things taken care of right away. Our friends that have used other pool builders often have horror stories to tell but we have nothing but good things to say about The Pool Man.
