Recent Pool Installers Reviews in Hugo
- Backyard LeisureOf course, we pick the worst time to go pool shopping. Between the supply chain issues and having vetted every pool installer's personal preference on pool type, we were off to a painful start. We met with many pool companies for over a month. Companies of all different sizes, and although each was independently unique, the same stipulations applied across the board. The pool installs were at least 12 months out and getting someone to sit down for a consult was around one month out. It was very frustrating. We stumbled across Backyard Leisure and decided to give them a try. Don't judge the company by the area in which their Raleigh office is located, these guys are legit. Aaron Garner actually sat down with us on the spot and provided us with the information we were seeking. He answered all of our questions and provided us with much needed insight to help us plan our next move. On top of all that, the anticipated install was less than 12 months out. Aaron clearly knew what he was talking about and also helped us realize the best approach to our inground spa. Aaron was there throughout the entire process; he was more of a partner than a salesman and still is. They have some real talent working for them, Alberto leading installs gained my trust and confidence within an hour of him being onsite during the install, he knows his stuff. At the end of the day, we are more than happy with the product and the team at Backyard Leisure. Cheers
- MH3 Design Group, LLCMark and his crew did an amazing job! We couldn’t be happier with the final outcome, it looks truly amazing! Everyone of the team is hard-working, courteous, professional, etc. We have referred them to our neighbors and other friends! We would absolutely use them again!
- Lowell Russell ConcreteThe project was complicated, with footings, foundation walls, and brick and a special stone facing, all having to be very precisely installed, and then a stamped and colored concrete sidewalk installed. The work was started in the fall, and then delayed over the winter. The work was finished the following spring, later than we had requested. In the end we are very happy. The workmanship was excellent
- Northland Fence MinnesotaEverything went according to plan. We got a late start on this project , Northland was about 2 months out, but they hit every date and actually did the final install 10 days early.
- Mallery Pool ConstructionHe is absolutely outstanding! All of our neighbors use him as well. He is more than punctual and is extremely honest and easy to work with. I would highly recommend him.
- Mallery Pool ConstructionThe rain delays were the only problems. It was obvious that Mallery was concerned about doing a good job. They were careful, they were detailed, and they made sure things were the way we wanted them (or advised us on the best way, if we didn't know).
- Mallery Pool ConstructionLeigh Mallery is the owner of Mallery Pool Construction. Leigh has been doing this for years and is very experienced. He listened to my vision of the product I wanted. He made appropriate suggestions. He was here himself working alongside his crew many of the days. He was out there doing physical labor on those really hot days we had last summer. He and his crew worked long hours and didn't really seem to take breaks. The only problem was the delay of the project caused by the electrician he used as a sub-contractor. Everyone else was ready when they were needed. The pool is beautiful. We didn't get to use it last summer because it was finished in fall. This spring, Leigh came out and opened it without my needing to call. Then, since the equipment was new, Pam came out on a Friday evening and showed me how to work everything. She was patient with me while I wrote it all down. She called me a couple days later to see how it was going and answer any questions I had. I called Leigh last week because of an issue with the auto-cover and he came out himself to work on it. One really neat thing he did was put in small waterfalls that can be used to return the clean water to the pool in place of the jets. We also decided on a water slide instead of a diving board, and it is a fast ride! With Mallery Pools, the service continues after the project is completed. I know I can call Leigh or Pam with any questions or concerns
- Mallery Pool ConstructionLeigh built our in-ground pool nearly 8 years ago. We were not only satisfied with the work done, we actually enjoyed the process! Mallery Pool was suggested to us for our project and we have since recommended Leigh to many others since. Never have we hesitated in our recommendation and expressing our satisfaction with Leigh and his team. If you are thinking about a pool, do yourself a favor and meet with Leigh about your project
- Northland Fence MinnesotaWe were impressed with Northland Fence from start to finish. We were planning to hire another leading company in the Twin Cities because they had done a good job installing a wooden fence at our previous home. We signed up for a free estimate from Northland because we were doing our due diligence in getting multiple quotes. We had a relatively big job, which required removal of a rotting wooden fence and three gates and replacing it with approximately 300 feet of vinyl fencing. The other company required us to hire a landscaper to build a retaining wall, and they planned to dig up all the old posts and cement and dispose of them. The cost was so high we thought the project would be a non starter. Then we had our consult with a representative from Northland who took time to walk me through the job so patiently. I had lots of questions after my consult with the other company. I left the meeting feeling relieved but also anxious about the price. When I got the estimate, it was exactly what we had budgeted for the project! Northland has a really slick system where they cut the old posts to the ground and work around them. They drive steel posts many feet deeper than other companies. Our three children were in awe watching the workers on the day of installation. Once we signed the contract, Northland said they were about a month out. However, the scheduling person moved us to an earlier date since we have a pool. She wanted to make sure our backyard was secure, which was above and beyond. On the tear down date (a Friday), two crews worked swiftly and hauled away the old fence. Then they drove the new posts into the ground. We were told to expect another crew to come within 2-3 weeks to finish the job. You can imagine my surprise when the crew showed up first thing Monday morning to assemble the fence. They worked all day and didn't quite finish, so they came out the next available day (when it wasn't raining) and completed the work. We had a slight issue with a fence post obstructing a window and some old posts sticking out of the ground. I emailed Northland, and an installer came out the next morning to fix it. We had one more small request, so the installer returned the following morning to take care of it. If I could give Northland a grade beyond an A for responsiveness, I most certainly would. We are so happy with our new white vinyl fence. Since we live in a development where houses were constructed in the late 1970s and early 1980s, many fences in the neighborhood are showing their age. We have had several neighbors inquire about the fence project because they are considering replacing wood with vinyl. I have enthusiastically recommended Northland to each one. They are a fantastic company
- PRESTIGE POOLSCurrently in the process of new pool install. Very happy with the product so far. Pat (owner) and Jeff at the main office are great to work with! I did my shopping around with pool contractors and I very happy with my decision as things are going smoothly and efficiently! Hopefully, swimming soon!

"It went perfectly smooth from start to finish. Nick was very accessible by phone or text and promptly delivered on his installation & honored his price as discussed on the phone. I needed the heater installed on very short-notice before we had Labor Day guests coming to stay with us for the holiday. Nick and his company came out, installed & took the old heater/parts with them within less than 2 business days. He just completed my pools winter shut-down too at no extra cost, just as promised so I am very satisfied with him and his company. I plan to use him for all future pool work at my residence. Thank you Nick!

"The team at Northland Fence was extremely professional while providing a high quality ornamental fence install. It was simple to get the process started and communication was always strong from beginning to end. We have a half acre lot with some interesting angles and an intersection nearby and I was able to freely discuss ideas or concerns, and even redesign the original concept a few times before feeling great about the install. Everyone I met was knowledgeable and nice. I highly recommend!

"After getting 6 bids for this project I hired Lowell Russell. He was the most articulate and knowledgable about how to resolve our water and drainage issues for the driveway, patio and walks. His work is excellent. The crew is highly skilled and hard working. His suggestions for improvement were all well worth the extra $ we had not planned on spending. He provided multiple options to work with our budget and what we were trying to accomplish. His price came in mid range and competitive, with more value added than other bids. This project was done in late fall. As of this spring, our water issues are resolved! I highly recommend Lowell Russell!

"Everything went extremely well and on schedule. I have them open and close my pool annually now. They are wonderful. The quality of their work is stupendous.

<br /> update*
<br /> I have spent the last 5 plus years working with Atlantis Pool and can't say enough about their customer service. They are there to answer any questions and help make it a fabulous season. I look forward to working with them every year for my pool opening and closing and all pool supplies. They have spas as well but I haven't branched out to that yet.

"The weather was perfect and Performance pool came out as scheduled to remove the old pool liner and replace with a new seamless liner. They encountered some ground water but continued with the uninstall and installation. Began filling the pool and everything was looking great.
<br /> After filling the pool to the spot they had indicated, we noticed a air/water bubble on the bottom of the pool. I called and they said they would take a look. We had gone out of town for the weekend and when we got back on Sunday, they had removed their equipment but there was now a huge air/water bubble on the bottom of the pool. I called and they told me to push it to the side. I did that and the bubble went away, but now we had wrinkles on the bottom. I called again, and they said they would come out and take a look. A couple of days later they came out and put sand bags on the bottom and refill to the a specific line. They charged me $200 in addition to the original $3600. They came out again, and removed the sand bags and began to fill the pool again. The wrinkles are still present on the bottom of the pool I filled pool to the top and discussed with them what their plans are for removing the wrinkles in the spring.
<br /> A week went by and I noticed that the pool water level was going down. I emailed and called to let them know. They said for me to mark the level and get back to them in a day. I did that it had dropped 1.5 inches over a 36 hour period. They have not gotten back to me yet. It's been 6 weeks. The pool water level continues to drop and now is frozen. My guess is myautomatic pool cover will be destroyed by spring due to the pool leaking water.
<br /> I'm not sure why they have not got back to me, I have not attempted to contact them either. I hope I can have a better rating in the spring after the fix our problems!

If you already have a pool, Peterson Pools has everything you need to revitalize your backyard, like New Liners, Auto Covers, Automation, High Efficiency Pumps and Filters and Concrete Replacement to name a few
"The latest story with Peterson concerns our automatic pool cover which was installed a few years ago. For some reason due to weather or the ground moving in some way our cover box shifted and in the process our cover was ripped.
<br /> After calling them and after a a couple of trips out to look at things they fixed the box, repaired the cover and got us back to normal in a very short time.
<br /> While things like this should probably not happen ....they did. What is most important to note is that Peterson stood behind their work, fixed the problem and all the time treated us with the utmost respect.
<br /> Our other dealings with them with repairs and maintaining our swimming pool through the years have gone the same way.
<br /> We will be putting in a new liner next spring and there is only one place I will look at having it done.
Openings/Winterizations, repairs, renovations, new construction, weekly maintenance and cleanings
"The guys I dealt with were friendly and professional and came back when they said they would. They were the 3rd pool company involved, and are my new pool people. A pool is too expensive and the season is too short to mess around with a company that doesn't really know what they are doing. Randall saved the pool season, and saved me from continuing to dump hundreds of dollars into a pool that had a bad filter.

"HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!Lulicon, Inc. - Matt Lulic was an unexpected and quot;giftand quot;... He was contacted by my general contractor to help complete my Bath/Kitchen remodel project that had fallen well behind schedule. His dedication to his craft, reliability, knowledge and professionalism is apparent from the get-go. I had some guys tile the walls of my shower and floors of the bathroom and kitchen... after a month without the appropriate progress, Matt was called in and quot;to save the dayand quot;. He then trimmed and hung all the doors, cut and placed custom baseboards, and pointed out areas that required adjustments from the previous workers.
<br /> His work is done extremely fast without the loss of great quality - I was amazed to say the least! Then (if that wasn't enough to make you hire him), much to my surprise, came back the following day to complete some trimwork he didn't want to leave exposed because I'd mentioned that I had out of town family visiting for the week!
<br /> So, now I need to add and quot;integrityand quot; to the list of compliments. Matt is a very rare find in someone who provides a variety of services and I would recommend him hands-down! He does much more than remodel jobs too - from design/build, new construction to roofing, decks and snow removal... I will definitely be calling on LuliCon.
<br /> By the way, I work in the service industry and very much respect and appreciate great service (and don't write reviews on and quot;expectedand quot; service) so wanted to let you all know that I joined 'Angie's List' solely to provide this review on Matt Lulic and what he represents.
