Drexel Hill Above Ground Pool Installation

Recent Review: Aquathority came out very quickly to measure the dimensions of the pool and provide an estimate for costs to make and install the Coverlon pool cover. The delivery and installation took a few days longer than expected but the representatives we spoke to on the phone were always courteous and helpful in determining status. The installation team was very friendly, efficient and helpful in explaining what they were doing and what we needed to do in order to ensure we were happy with the product. Additionally, they sent two workers out to investigate a possible leak in our pump system free of charge while we were waiting for the cover. I would highly recommend the company and we plan to continue to use them.

Recent Review: The pool looks beautiful, and we are very happy with the appearance and quality of the products used and the construction methods. We especially like the multi-color brick-type coping and the Diamond Brite plaster, which looks and feels beautiful and natural. Izabella, the business owner, was very knowlegable, responsive and professional from start to finish, and the price was competitive with other vendors we interviewed. The project was on target with budget and schedule. Izabella visited our site after each stage and kept in touch by phone and email to ensure things were going well. Her crews were professional and thorough, and they took their time. We once had our pool refurbished by a different vendor in the past, and we thought that Price Right did a far superior job. Highly recommended!

Recent Review: Excellent...we had a problem leak in our swimming pool. It was initially difficult to schedule an appointment because they are so busy. They were able to get to me sooner because they had a cancellation. Mike identified two problem areas. One he was able to fix the same day and the other we had our pool maintenance company fix. Thanks goodness for Mike Haines!

Recent Review: We used Armand Pools to put in a new pool at our home in Bryn Mawr, as they had a reputation for delivering a quality product and they were at least in the competitive range, initially, in price. They built a great pool for us, and we have used the pool for years and - for almost a decade - used them for service as our service contact - Gus - was always helpful and responsive. We did notice, over the years, that they were almost always at the very, very high end for any service work outside of normal service calls. When we added a salt cell system to the pool, they were 2-3 times as much as the other bids (for exactly the same unit) and 6 times what it cost me to buy the unit on the web and install myself. Despite that, we continued to use them for routine maintenance. This spring, however, when I got bids to replaster our pool, their bid came in at $19,000 when bids we got from other companies using similar sub-contractors (including, interestingly enough, the one that shot the gunite in our pool) came in at an average of $7,000 - again with the same product specifications. I understandably went with one of the other bids (not the lowest, but one from a reputable company that was in the range of reasonable) and have been very happy with the work they did. This is where the story gets interesting... When Armand's owner (Jeff) saw other trucks in our yard doing the plaster work (the sub who had shot our original gunite) but figured they were working for others, he chewed out the sub for doing work for us through another provider. He then provided to write me a lengthy three page ranting email about how Armand would have been worth it for me to pay them to do the plaster work. I had to call my Armand sales contact to get Jeff to lay off harassing the subs. Then - despite 10 years as a customer - all of sudden Armand's service people stopped even returning my calls for normal maintenance stuff, which I was planning on keeping with them. I called four times with not a single return phone call, despite being a customer for 10 years, always paying on time, and having spent probably nearly $100k with Armand. If this is how they treat a 10 year customer, I'd hate to see how they choose to treat a new one! I have now found a much, much better pool service company (Arrow Pools) that has been easy to work with, uses the web seamlessly, and has some great service people. I am very happy with my new choice. I would recommend caution to all who deal with Armand - at least based on my experience.

Recent Review: I bought a new pool cleaner from them, spent around $700, expensive stuff. The pool cleaner does not work. They say I cannot return as return policy is 14 days, and also they say "basically once you put it in the pool you cannot return it". They took it to fix it, twice, and claim the issue is with my system, not the cleaner. they were not cooperating at all to get my issue resolved. I had to go to manufacturer to get support. At some point the manufacturer is telling me that Leslie's told them they sent a technician to my house and he confirmed the issue is in my system - this is a brutal lie ! There was no tech person, and in fact the problem is not with the system. I took my cleaner to a friend's house - the same problem over there ! My recommendation - do yourself a favor - go somewhere else - the least they can do is give proper service after taking so much money for a pool cleaner. Soon the season is over and the cleaner still does not work !!

Recent Review: Retail operations are fine, although pricey. I bring the pool water in, they test it and recommend chemical treatments. Chemical prices are high, but they use high quality products, and provide testing, so I don't mind. Carlton has opened and closed this pool since they built it almost ten years ago. We moved in four years ago, and have noticed a fairly consistent slide in the quality of service. It started with the technician getting into an argument with my neighbor last fall about where he was ejecting water. Technician should not have argued, and it created an ugly situation. Then, this spring, it took me three calls to the new service manager before he returned my call. Very cavalier about not getting back to me, then couldn't find me in the computer. Got the opening scheduled, and was surprised to see that price had gone up. This fall, called to schedule closing, and again, multiple calls before my call was returned. Closing was scheduled, but technicians never showed up, never called, and I never received a call from service manager. I called a competitor, and they were out that weekend, for less money. I now have a new pool service.

Recent Review: Satisfied customer; excellent project management, where all steps were explained. Lots of useful practical advice and recommendations throughout the project - from purchase to startup. Sylvan's experts helped with the construction and material selection (e.g. deck and coping) and all the considerations that come with owning an in-ground pool. An overall good experience.

Recent Review: Excellent workmanship, very reasonable pricing, excellent communication with customer.

Recent Review: Mark, the owner of the company, arrived when he promised and completed an installation of a new pool pump/motor for our above-ground pool. He also completed some additional work on the pool connections after traveling to secure additional parts. Mark only charged us for the parts; no additional labor. In addition to completing the work in a professional manner, Mark returned to our home the next day to verify that everything was running smoothly, make any adjustments necessary, and offered some pointers on pool maintenance. B&M is now our new pool service company.

Recent Review: If you are in the market for a well built, custom concrete swimming pool do yourself a favor and call Giorgio Custom Pools and the master of concrete pools, Mr. Barry Charles. You really don't need to call anyone else, Barry will give you a fair and reasonable price for what he provides and build you a high quality concrete pool using custom features that others upcharge you for and much better quality equipment that others use. Trust us, we talked to some of the other big name builders (even had a deposit down with one of them), Barry's price was right in line (not the lowest, not the highest) and when you factor in all the additional value Barry adds it really is a no brainer. Barry has been building pools his whole life and it shows, we knew within 5 minutes of meeting him that this was the guy to build our pool. We told him what we wanted, he checked out our site, knew exactly how to handle the slope in our yard, gave us a proposal and we signed. The construction process couldn't be smoother, the guys were there every day that Barry said they would be, Barry oversaw the whole project, there were no surprise upcharges, hidden costs, etc. Our pool was filled (included in Barry's contract, everyone else wanted to leave that out) 15 days after the first shovel went in the ground! Everyone else wanted 2-3 months to complete the job. We couldn't be happier and choosing Giorgio Custom Pools was the best decision we made.
