*** WE DO NOT BUILD, SELL OR SERVICE ABOVE GROUND POOLS. In-Ground Pools Only *** Prestige Pools & Spas is St. Louis’ number one award-winning pool and hot tub company. We have served St. Louis and its surrounding communities proudly for over 40 years. We specialize in vinyl liner pools by Latham, fiberglass pools by Trilogy, and gunite in ground pool construction. We also offer a variety of premier hot tub and swim spas.We have an A+ BBB rating. We are a year round full service and In-ground pool and spa installation company. We have a full time staff for both service and showroom. WE DO NOT BUILD, SELL OR SERVICE ABOVE GROUND POOLS.

"Horrible! Prestige pools promised the world when selling us the pool and fell short at every turn. I own a home renovation company so know the game. Signed contract because they promised it would be built before the winter. Mid June after many calls they finally started. They worked a day here....a day there....never letting us know when or why . I made many calls asking when the guys would build because of what was promised and I needed to get more concrete done around the pool once they were done. Secretary every time was like talking to a recording, saying the same bull they tell everyone on why pool wasn’t done. I ended up hiring my own crew to backfill ditch in yard and grade yard that had huge piles of dirt for months left . They left a massive pile of gravel in middle of yard no where close to pool for me to get rid of. My pump pipes leaning so bad I have to re do. Concrete around the pool is undermined all over . Left concrete dust in pool and made us vacuum up. Cracks in concrete, tape , caution tape, and trash left all over the place. No matter how many calls I make they never show to finish. They take half the money on start, almost half half way through, and never show up to finish. They take as many jobs as they can to sell and once they get money you will wait forever to get started and they will put you on the back burner to finish if they even do. Worse experience ever. If I ran my business like prestige I wouldn’t have a business"

"I purchased a swimming pool from this company and paid half of the total price in a deposit of $4800 using my credit card. They strongly encourage you to use pay with a check and charge a 3 percent transaction fee for a credit card. After reading all of their negative reviews and BBB complaints, I felt that it was worth 3 percent to have the peace of mind that a credit card allows. At no time and no where on my receipt did it say I could not cancel and get a FULL refund. A week later they called me & told me that the pool I paid the deposit for was not available and they didn't know if it ever would be. They also wanted to have me switch to a different pool that was "significantly more expense at no extra cost to me" but couldn't provide me with any details of the pool so that I could check to see if it was legitimate. I requested a refund of my deposit because they could not provide what they had sold me. When I went in to pick up the receipt for the refund, I was informed that I would be charged a $144 transaction fee because I used my credit card. I refused and came home and called my credit card company and they advised that there is no transaction fee when a refund is issued. There are very limited options locally for pool companies, but PLEASE read the reviews on Yelp and elsewhere and the BBB complaints before you give these people any business, most read the same as mine."

Install Above Ground Pools questions, answered by experts

Most importantly, you should never cut corners when building a pool. Whether it’s an in-ground or aboveground, poorly constructed pools are dangerous to both the swimmers and your property. Leaks can even lead to home foundation damage. While you can DIY smaller elements of pool installation, always hire a contractor to oversee the process.

There are many factors to consider when building an in-ground concrete pool. This includes the pool’s primary purpose (relaxation or exercise) if you live in a warm or cold climate (how often it’ll be used), and if you have the budget for chemical treatments and pool maintenance. In-ground pools are often more costly than aboveground pools, but they’re considered more luxurious and hold more value.

The best way to heat a swimming pool depends on your pool and location. Those living in sunny environments may find that a solar-powered heater works just fine, but you may need something more reliable, like a gas or electric heater if it’s often cloudy where you live. When in doubt, try a few lower-cost options first to see if they meet your needs before going all in on a more expensive heater.

Small animals, particularly rats and mice, like to burrow inside pool heaters. To keep them out, seal any entry points with caulk or steel wool. Then, place mothballs inside or around your pool heater. As a final measure of protection, you can cover the pool heater in hardware cloth or wood paneling to further block entry points.

You should always check your user's manual for the weight capacity of your pool enclosure. In most cases, it is not safe for someone to walk on their enclosure. Professional pool installers will have more experience in repairing enclosure roofs and how to scale them without risking injury.
