"Response time was fast"

"We had a very old pool that needed resurfacing and re-tiling. There was also coping that needed to be repaired and concrete work that also needed to be done. Pool effects came and bid on the project in a timely manner, they were excellent and their prices were fair. They came to do the work when they said they would, were extremely professional and dependable. They also had to deal with our difficult tenant and were kind and patient. We would recommend Pool Effects any time . We are extremely pleased with the finished product, they did a beautiful job."

"A+ professional, honest, competent, and they got the job done ahead of schedule. Their installer, Isaac was knowledgeable, friendly, and totally cleaned up the site and removed the old unit. There is no doubt whatsoever that if I have any pool equipment issues in the future, I will call them in a second John Ferola"

"Jarrod was great. He always gave me updates week by week and always returned calls and answered any questions I asked. The workers are very professional and did a great job from excavation to the little details in stone work and tile work. My pool looks great and my entire backyard is finally a place in our house that me and my family can enjoy."

"They did not do the pool deck correctly and have to replace along with a wall."

"We hired Tropical Breeze to complete a driveway replacement in July of 2023. Shortly after the driveway was completed and the final bill was paid, we noticed large unsightly dark spots all over the entire driveway. Some of the bigger spots measure over five feet long and three feet wide. We contacted JJ, the owner via text to explain the problem and attached plenty of photos. We also asked if he would return to the job site to look at the dark spots in person. He was very dismissive from the get-go and said there wasn?t much that could be done and to wait until the summer to see if the spots lightened up or go away. We waited the recommended time and the large unsightly dark spots did not go away. We reached out again via text explaining the problem did not improve and again asked to schedule a phone call to discuss. He was again very dismissive and unwilling to even discuss the problem let alone do anything about it. Do not use this contractor. "

"Working with Dane and the KG Aquatics team was a great experience. Clear communication from start to finish. Professional team. I am happy with my pool and spa. Dane set a great expectation for my project, and the KG team exceeded those expectations "

"Project manager was a general contractor not a pool person. You do not know the quality of the work until it is done then it is too late. Concrete has large dark blotches in a few places. I think it?s because concrete wasn?t mixed thoroughly leaving an inconsistent color. Looks bad. Developed a crack within the first couple of weeks and was told nothing could be done. Concrete around top of spa is crooked and inconsistent. Amateur job. My neighbor?s was done around the same time (different company) and is perfectly straight. Salesman was knowledgeable but never returned to check the job. I do not think anyone really knew what they were doing. Just kind of faking it. Do not recommend. No real upside to the job."

"I signed the contract for replastering my pool for $9,300 with Alex on April 4, 2025. All the contractors talked about the length of the project to be 2 – 3 weeks. The payment terms were 50% upon demo, and 50% upon completion. I left the time of completion empty, because naively I thought that they would be eager to complete the job. My ratings are: Price 5 star; Quality of work 5 star; scheduling of work 2 star. Average rating 4 star. Alex was eager to do the demo, because this triggers the first 50% payment. Demo was done on April 16, 2025. We also amended the contract to install new lights ($1,200) and replacement of Deck O Seal ($1,800). New contract price $12,300. My payment of $6,150 on April 16, 2025. The value of the Demo may be about $3,000. I therefore had now paid about $3,000 in advance. Waiting and waiting. Alex is texting: Out of town, mother in hospital and then two weeks later: death in family. Ok, I expressed understanding Continued on attached jpg"
