Very disappointed. I don't get responses and I have unfinished work that has been waiting for attention. Many problems with stonework and concrete and its only my 2nd pool season. The mess that was left is unacceptable but the owner has never came to even look at it. Coping had to be replaced after one season and they did it in late fall 2020. The worker was very unhappy about having to do the job and intentionally made a huge mess. There is concrete stuck to the bottom of the pool. Mortar all over the liner under the coping that won't be able to be removed without causing damage. The caulking

We did not have a positive experience with Pond For People Pools. During my initial visit to the store I spoke to an employee about a variety of things- pool fencing, pool alarm, maintenance etc. The employee took all of my information and said she would do some research and get back to me...there was no follow-up. I tried to call the store on multiple occasions but never got past voice mail. We then had our pool opened by the company- there were a few issues with the pump and heater. It took multiple days on 2 occasions to find out if they had the required part (which they didn't). After 3 weeks

By far the best pool shop we've dealt with!
Ryan Adams has been so patient and helpful in teaching us how to properly take care of the pool, Hannah took the time to email me a list of instructions as to how to open the pool, and Angie has been so courteous as to scheduling with me around my hectic scheduling needs. Highly recommend this company! Thank you guys so much for taking such good care of us.

After a few months of planning and construction, Dave and his crew finished up our new in ground pool. Their commitment and attention to detail has been terrific and we are thrilled to dive in next summer!
