  I understand that there have been backlogs and delays that are outside of Kayak's control, however, Kayak has gone above and beyond to work with me through the process. We are parting on good terms and they are giving me a full refund, I would definitely recommend.

  DO NOT BUY FROM KAYAK MIDWEST. Our review is not based off their product, rather the horrible process and empty promises. We are fed up with the process & company. Just like they are "allegedly requesting that complaints filed with BBB be closed as "resolved" by the consumer as a condition of expediting delayed pool installation" (reason they got there bbb accreditation revoked), I don't doubt most of these positive reviews are bought & fake. Their business ethics are questionable & lacking. Communication is horrible, we were misled numerous times by the salesmen like giving false promises of installation timelines.They are deceptive about what Kayak calls an inground pool. After seeing the documentation, the pools are not true in-ground pools, rather recessed temporary structures. These pools are not considered permanent structures per pool industry. We were told by 2 different people Kayak would provide EVERYTHING needed to file for the permit - Lies! Our village requires grading/stormwater plans but they would not provide those. Why tell us they would provide everything if that's not true? When we complained about it, they offered to take on obtaining the permit for an additional $1.5K. When we brought up our permit issues after we indicated our intention to get out of our contract, our salesman indicated they would provide us with the necessary tools to file for the permit, not how it was initially sold to us. They ask for all money (certified check) minus $1K upon delivery of materials & then $1k (certified check) once the pool builder is done because they don't stand behind their product/service. We negotiated to withhold $10k until after completion (Instead of $1K). If you decide to get one, at least negotiate the amount. They will ignore you once they have your money! if there's an issue with your pool? Good luck! Check the Kayak Pool Owners Facebook groushow more

  Rare is it that you come across a company and people that are so amazingly different, so incredibly good, and so wonderfully consistent in their excellent performance, but that is exactly what you get with Sergio Esparza, and his wonderful employees. Our relationship with Sergio and his team has lasted the absolute test of time. For more than 10 years, from the installation of our pool to opening and closing it, as well as for maintenance, Sergio and his team have delivered nothing short of complete excellence each step of the way. They were meticulous in their installation and clean up after, and this is exactly where other pool companies that our neighbors have used have fallen short, and usually way short. Not with Esparza. They were the complete professionals and left the installation spotless and with all the details taken well care of. Opening and closing the pool has been another area of excellence where Esparza has outdone and outperformed the competition. One year we failed to schedule Sergio and it was our fault. We used another pool service and we immediately realized it was a mistake. The competition was sloppy, left a mess, and we had to redo all of the work they did, taking longer to remedy than if we opened the pool ourselves, and we regretted it. The fact they were also more expensive made it even worse. When it comes to knowing exactly what has to be done for installing new pool liners or accessories or a new filter or heater, Esparza once again delivers superior knowledge and expertise, and thankfully prevented us from purchasing the incorrect products for our particular pool. Even when there was a glitch with the product we purchased being a lemon, Sergio was there to mediate and make sure we were treated well and the situation was properly rectified. Thankfully we were able to get a new product shipped and at no cost to us, and we owe it all to Sergio and his wonderful crew who always go above and beyond the call of duty. Today was our most recent Esparza experience and the weather was terrible. It was raining, cold, and miserable. Yet Sergio and his crew were just as meticulous and careful with their work, setting up and testing all of the equipment, and with making sure they were meticulous in their clean up and how they left everything. Especially given the weather, it was especially noteworthy that they did not rush and cut corners despite how cold and uncomfortable they must have felt. Perhaps the most important quality of Esparza is that you can trust them. They not only do excellent work but they take care of our pool, the accessories, our yard, and our home as if it was their own, and they always come through. Thinking of going with someone else? Ugh. We have experienced that and never want to again. Esparza always takes care of us, gives us expert wisdom when it comes to making decisions, and makes sure we are safe, protected, and happy with all that involves our pool, each and every year, without missing a beat. In fact, I think they actually keep getting better and better when I have always felt that was not possible. Esparza. It is the only name you need to know when it comes to pools and your families safety and happiness with your pool investmentshow more

  It was a bit bumpy of a ride. Overall the pool install itself took only one day. We would purchase again.

  I bought a house with a pool and had no idea how to take care of it. I called around they gave me the best price and took care of everything. Very happy customer, will use them again this coming summer.

  Got bids for liner replacement of a 10 year old pool that had begun to tear at waterline and leak water. Previous homeowners did not provide pool build measurements, so I needed someone to also make accurate measurements. All Seasons was one of three bids I received, but also offered to get the job done early in the spring due to a party I had planned for the first week of June. Dave (from Sales) was quick to respond, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. After selecting All Seasons, they quickly setup measurements and got the liner ordered. Once the liner was in, we were quickly scheduled to begin as soon as the weather began to break. The team did a great job removing the old liner, took a couple days to prep the sub surface with a new skim coat (extra cost but not entirely unexpected), and then installed the new liner. They communicated well, keeping me informed of everything that was happening each day. Overall, very happy with my experience and would recommend All Seasons againshow more

  This job went very smooth from start to finish. I have been involved in construction all of my life. Things usually don't go as planned. That is not the case with Presidential Pools. I had 4 estimates on this project. Of the 4 one never came up with an actual figure. Two did give me numbers but every time I asked a question the numbers changed. When I sat down with James MacDougall in the Bell Rd. location I gave him the information I had give all of the other sales people. When we meet the second time he had a lot of great suggestions for options I choose the ones I wanted. We agreed on the price and that is the price I paid. This is my second home and I was not in town for most of the construction. I was very concerned about the effect the project would have on my neighbors. I did not have one complaint from anyone during the construction. All of the workers were very courteous and respectful to all of the surrounding properties. The completed pool is great. James MacDougall said at the start I don't just want you to have a pool in your backyard. I want to transform your backyard into something that can be enjoyed for years to come. The finished product did just that. The value of my is much greater and I could not be happiershow more

  This was literally a heavenly experience. To say that Sergio and his team were awesome is an understatement. They literally exceeded our expectations by 1000% in every conceivable way. I still cannot believe how prompt, detailed, precise, and hard working these guys were. Sergio has the most amazing demeanor and is completely focused on making the customer happy and he is so dedicated to exceeding expectations that it at times seems too good to be true---he is so responsive and so awesome at follow up. When he says something, you can take it to the bank. His word is gold and his work is outstanding. I cannot imagine what life would be like if everyone we dealt with for our home was like Sergio and his wonderful team of employees. They simply are the best people we have ever worked with and made the entire experience a pleasure. We cannot recommend them enough, and we cannot be happier at having met this great man with a wonderful company. You will not be disappointedshow more

  Greg came out to see us quickly after we made first contact. We signed the contract a week later. We gave Greg our deposit and he took care of the required permit. Once the permit was issued, Greg's team showed up on the agreed upon date at 6:30 am. They dug the hole, graded the yard, connected the plumbing, dropped the pool in with a crane, filled the pool with water and connected the heater and filter system. All this was done in ONE day. His guys stayed until almost dark that same night to get everything cleaned up-even the driveway and street. The only thing we had to wait on was the concrete around the pool. Seems the concrete contractor overbooked and then rain messed up the schedule. Once they started the concrete it was done in two days and they did a great job. Greg Hoover, our contact at Expert Pool, was with us every step of the way and we think he and his team did a fantastic job. I would highly recommend Expert Pool Builders. They service both Illinois and Michiganshow more
