"We can certainly understand the frustrations about your pool. Adams Pools has agreed to resurface this pool. However, unfortunately, the work cannot proceed without written agreement between the homeowner and the pool builder Cookie Cutter pools. My understanding is that an offer in writing was made to the homeowner from Cookie Cutter Pools and has not been agreed upon or signed as there are multiple items about this pool project that need to be addressed. This dispute is between the homeowner and Cookie Cutter Pools; the dispute is not with Adams Pool Specialties. to my knowledge: Cookie Cutter Pools bond company (Great American) has denied the claim (31960-02) Contractors State License Board was closed. (#2016008792) Adams Pools bond company is still reviewing the claim When negotiations and resolutions are agreed upon, Adams Pools will proceed with resurfacing this pool upon Cookie Cutter Pools request. thank you."
"Hi [Member Name Removed], im so very sorry we did not respond. I will discuss and handle with my staff. Unfortunately we do not service the Arnold area. We certainly should have at least called you to let you know that. I recommend you contact Burketts Pools they may service your area."
Unfortunately because we kept waiting to hear back from them, we delayed contacting other companies and now our pool resurfacing job will be done after the start of the swim season.

The Foreman tried to change my mind from plaster to Pebbletek on site by telling me that the finished product would turn out mottled. I told him to proceed with the plan.
Adams gave us names for pool service providers to help with 'starting the pool' proceedures, and we hired one of them. A few weeks into the process, I noticed white spots showing up on the bottom of the pool and my husband called Adams. White spots on a dark plaster are very visable, although they were small. The same foreman came and we looked at the white spots, and he blamed the pool service people for it. The pool person denied this. He has all his records as to what chemicals were added to the pool, as well as brushing of the sides, etc.
White marks are due to dried, unmixed pockets of concrete in the plaster, and feel like small bumps. They could be sanded out, but that would require draining the pool. We never got to that point with Adams as they would not admit that it could be their fault.
Rodger Berry, our sales rep, is extremely knowledgeable and knows his products. Once we made the initial decision on the pebbletec surface, color, and tile, Rodger made arrangements for my husband to see the surface installed at another client's home. I am so thankful for that, because while my husband was the one who wanted the black, he did not like it at all once he saw the finished product. We did a complete 180 and went with the white pearl instead.
The staff at Adams are well trained, very patient, and top-notch professionals. The crews that came to perform each phase of work were all friendly, pleasant, and efficient in their work. Karen was our contact in the office, and she called me daily before and during the work at our home. Our change orders seemed like very big deal, changing-our-mind-at-the-last-possible-second type decisions to us, but Karen and Rodger took it in stride and made it happen. I love that Karen took my calls like we were old friends and answered my questions and last-minute requests as if I were doing her a favor by calling to ask yet another question about the work schedule or what to expect next.
Adams started and finished the work within the promised timeframe. The crews showed up on time and cleaned up at the end of each day. Everyone who came to our home was polite and respectful of our property and grounds.
The final result is beautiful, so much more than we imagined when selecting our materials. The last-minute add-ons (installation of multi-colored LED lights, abalone, and glass beads) are worth every single penny. The advice and education my husband received in the care and operating of our new surface, valves, and fancy lights came is priceless.
We are delighted with the results and would highly recommend Adams Pool Specialties.
"I first want to apologize for the delay in my response to you; we truly appreciate your feedback and review. We recognize in these busy times that it takes extra effort to stop what you are doing and go out of your way to write a review for us and we greatly appreciate it. Please call us anytime you have further questions or needs about your pool."
We have a few spots where the PebbleTec is lifting off of the pool but we have not contacted Adam's yet regarding it. I have every confidence that they will resolve it once we contact them.
I contacted Adam's Pools about a year after the pool was built about a couple of issues with the PebbleTec. It took a little while for them to show up but once they did they fixed all issues at no charge.
"Thank you so much for your complimentary review Customer. We truly appreciate your business and the time you took to put your review online for us."
