Have used S&R pools for many years and always happy with the quality, timeliness and pricing of their work. Kevin is an excellent owner who tells you straight on what services you do and do not need and always super responsive. I would highly recommend using S&R for all of your pool needs (build and service)!

From the initial call to set up the appointment with the office staff and the service call with the knowledgeable technicians I use S&R Pools for all my pool needs.

From the day the pool was "complete" it had issues, a boot print from the company's workers imprinted in my Diamond Bright, a coping seal that looks like a 2yr old did it, ohh put in cracked coping, this pool is 3yrs old and every single piece of equipment installed by this company has failed and needed to be replaced. The owner Kevin was asked many times to come to look over the quality of his work but he refused.
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"This renovation project was completed and every aspect of the job the homeowner found a problem with. I inspected the job in person twice so to say I never saw it is a complete lie. They wanted the top area between the coping and tile grouted which we did. They wanted an area on the step addressed which we did. The one cracked coping must of happened after the winter which we would repair but the homeowner never finished paying for the job. . This is the first I am hearing about a boot print in the floor. All the equipment failed because this property is in the valley in Manville and has been flooded many times. We reached out to him numerous times with no response. We sued them for the balance and they came and paid a portion of the balance but never finished paying for the job. Another example of their is always 2 sides to a story."

Don't recommend. They did an OK job but upon closer inspection had multiple bad finishes. Owner is unresponsive and am following up multiple times to fix those bad finishing. No transparency in the process and owner was not pleasant to deal with. Look elsewhere.
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"We are sorry that your experiencing difficulties. Other than needing a liner tuck because of the liner coming out of the coping which is common in a new liner installation, what other issues are there? We have replied to all requests whether a phone call or email."

They fleeced up pretty good. Charged $1000.00 for job. 459 for filter( price online). Said it was for warranty when on line warranty automatically come with filter for free. We paid over $500 for labor. 2 men for 1.5 hours each. When questioned, Tony said he told us it was that much, but neither me nor my husband remember him quoting a price. He was defensive and wouldn't budge, since we already paid him. Who gets that's much for labor? $85 for a half hour. We were definitely fleeced. I'm thinking about reporting this to the Better Business Bureau.

The whole process, from the initial call to the installation was terrific. All done within 24 hours. Patty and Tony where terrific. What a great company to do business with. The two techs, Steve and Anthony, that did the install were personable and professional. They were there when they said they would be. They hauled away my old heater and had a new 400k btu unit installed in about an hour. Everything worked and was compatible with my remote system. This is a company you can rely on when you are in need of service.

Not very happy with S&R pool. They closed and opened my pool which was supposed to cover fixing if anything went wrong with the pipes, i.e. pipes freezing. After opening one of the skimmer lines did not work. They said I had to pay for investigating and fixing. Eventually I got them to come out to test the line, only if I would pay upfront. After testing they change their story, they said if it was because of freezing it would be covered, but because they put a spike in the ground for my pool cover, it must have broken the pipe, they even said their person did that, but since they do not have x-ray vision they are not responsible for fixing it. Now I have to find someone to pay and fix it. Terrible customer service, very unprofessional. I do not recommend hiring them for your pool. They will continue to say this is not their fault, but they are the pool company, they have the expertise. Now that I know what caused the issue, there would have been many ways to prevent this from happening. We just moved into the house about a year ago and hired them, they could have explained our options and provided ways not to damage our system. For example dig and see where the pipes are and mark it clearly for future dates. But instead they chose to just go ahead and put a spike through my line and then say I am responsible.
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"The client supplied us with his cover and stakes to install his cover at the pool closing. This style cover, which is a safety cover, is designed to be installed with anchors drilled into the concrete walk around the pool. This clients cover did have approximately 90% of the cover secured with the proper anchors. This cover was made incorrectly by another vendor so to compensate for the improper cover size and original improper installation the previous vendor decided to give the client rebar stakes to secure the remaining 10% of the cover. When installing the rebar stakes for the cover the underground pipes were punctured. After several discussions with this owner who consistently cursed and belittled our office staff and refused to listen and understand how the problem was caused we offered to pressure test his lines for free as a courtesy. This charge is a standard $270 which we did not bill for or collect any payment for. After proving to the client where the puncture was and how it was caused he still refused to understand and listen to the voice of reason. One more factor is that the correct depth for pool pipes for pool plumbing in NJ is below the frost line which is 36 inches. The pipes were much shallower than that because the stakes provided by the client were 18". The reason we are not responsible for this damage is very obvious. This client supplied us with the cover which was incorrectly manufactured and the rebar stakes. The pool plumbing pipes were not at the correct depth and our techs cannot see through the ground to see the depth or location of buried pipes"

I’ve used S and R Pools of Manville for about three years and prior services were good. However, this year they simply did not meet prior expectations. I normally do not go out of my way to write reviews, unless I receive stellar service or horrible service. In this case Kevin the owner was completely defensive and tried pass my concerns back to me, the customer. For a business based on word of mouth in a highly competitive market for pool companies, I was shocked at the level of unprofessionalism and unwillingness to listen to a customer. Ironically I was getting ready to install a pool heater this year with S and R... needless to say, I’ll find someone else. By the way, do not confuse S and R Pools of Manville with storefront S and R Pools of Martinsville (a few miles away). The owner of that S and R is a fantastic person (fair and honest) and is well known to the community. I will continue to give him my business. UPDATE(08/14/2018): I gave S&R Pools another try and this time they really came through. We needed an emergency repair for one of our return lines and Kevin had his guys fix the problem immediately. Keep up the good work!
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"Our crew arrived to open the pool on the scheduled date. The cover was on the pool and when it was removed the water level was too low to start the filter system, (which is something we go over when we call to remind our clients of when we are coming to open the pool the steps needed to be able to open the pool properly) Our crew used an external portable vacuum system to do the initial vacuum. Most pools are not swimable after one vacuum service. Most pools take at the least a few vacs to be clean and usable. Our crew leaves behind detailed information about what was done and what needs to be done. That evening we received a very nasty and insulting phone call from Mr. Homeowner. We called him the next day and left a message explaining the water was not high enough and our tech used his portable vac system for the initial vacuum service. We took it upon ourselves to send our service manager to return to inspect the site and see what exactly was the issue. Our service manager took it upon himself to clean the pool again and confirmed everything was running correctly. After 3 messages to Mr Homeowner he decided to call us back. He voiced his issues. He claimed the pool water was at operating level and our guys never vacuumed the pool. When Kevin disagreed with him and explained that the water level was not high enough to start the system and there would be no reason why our tech would say the water level was not high enough, the homeowner's exact words were "Well if your going to take the words of your guys over the homeowner I don't have time for this". and he hung up. Important to note: We never had a chance to have any dialogue and let us explain our position. Also, why would our tech say the water was not high enough? Their is absolutely no benefit for our tech to claim this. It is more work for him, because he attempted to try to start the pool off the bottom drain. If the water level is correct , the system would start right up. . The Homeowner's wife was on site for a portion of the procedure and came out while the crew was there and can confirm the water level was not high enough and that the guys did vacuum the pool at the opening. I think it's unfortunate that the homeowner had to write a bad review instead of communicating and trying to work this out. I respectfully disagree with his version in this review of the days events, after speaking to my crew. For the reasons above, is why I felt the need to reply so quickly to this review."

Excellent. I needed a new base for the pool equipment which was not level. In addition, I wanted to have the pool completely renovated-new plaster/gunite. Went with Diamond Brite for the Aggregate Finish. The company works as a team led by the owner Kevin. The work was done on schedule. The company kept all moving along well. The communication was good-I was always able to reach someone whether it was Kevin or the office manager Elizabeth. The individuals working for S&R know their jobs and were able to provide helpful suggestions to improve all whether it was the equipment or the pool itself.

Have used S&R in the past for a liner replacement (that went perfect) but this year we had them provide an entire new cement pool deck and new pool lines as our old cement was starting to pit and was just in need of an upgrade. Kevin walked us completely through the quote and entire process. Work was started on time and the workers were very friendly and competent - they also took the time to explain what they were doing and why. There were some extra costs but they were potentially expected as the pool deck required more prep then anticipated which could not have been foreseen - Kevin explained that could occur and the additionaly cost was very reasonable. The entire project was done professionally and on schedule - i would not hesitate to use them again for any pool work and would quickly recommend them to friends, etc.

From concept to completion, our dreams were realized with Kevin and his crew building our in-ground pool according to our needs, wants, and budget! Staff, both on-site and office, were very professional and knowledgeable. Owner really listened to our ideas and ultimately came up with a design and plan that suited just what we were hoping for. Would recommend them to everyone who has been dreaming of in-ground pool and thinks it is out-of-reach. With S & R, the possibilities are endless!

30 min before the appointment received a call and voicemail that they do not cover Sparta, it was too far away and during the appointment booking they understood it wrong even though they knew it was Sparta. Basically no show to appointment.
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"[Member Information Removed] Unfortunately a girl in our office misinformed you. We called before the appointment and apologized for the mistake. Writing a review with F for professionalism and overall is ridiculous. I think it was pretty responsive and professional to call you and tell you this instead of just not showing. One reason why reviews sometimes don't work. Sorry we could not service your area."

S&R Pools was amazing!!!!!!!!  From the minute I met the owner it just fell into place.  The appointment was set by a very pleasant office staff person named Elizabeth.  She was courteous, professional and very detailed.  The survey of my pool went great.  Everything was explained in detail and the quote arrived in less than 24 hours.   The work began October 19,2015 and on October 19 my pool was filling again.  It was incredible how fast it was done.  The quality and attention  to detail was amazing.  Everything was performed like clockwork.  It was like a well oiled machine was on my property.  All the workers were polite, professional and everything was left tidy every night.  My pool is like new!!!!!!!!

Like I said, I hired them to replace the vinyl liner in my pool. They do not save the water. I knew this and dealt with it however I was not planning on filling my pool three times. My pool is 40,000 gallons. They had a difficult time setting the liner. There where many air bubbles and wrinkles in the liner. Those issues were not addressed before they cut in the returns and skimmers. They came back a few weeks later trying to fix the problem and the liner won't stretch because it's being held in place by the faceplates. The owner, Kevin constantly changed his story and has a difficult time being professional and truthful. As of today the liner has pulled out of the coping in three spots, and there are still bubbles and creases in the liner. These issues were present the last time somebody from the company came out to linspect it. Kevin insist that the job is complete. He is not interested in making the customer happy he just wants his money. I would not recommend S&R pool and Spa. They do shoddy work at best. I am very disappointed with the service and treatment I received.
Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc

"We were hired by [Member Name Removed] to replace her liner in her 50 year old sylvan pool. The agreement was authorized and the work scheduled. The start date was delayed approx. 10 days due to [Member Name Removed] being out of town traveling. The liner was installed and it did have two significant wrinkles in the step well. Pools are not manufactured with step wells any longer due to the difficulty of the liner being cut by the manufacturer. After our tech installed the liner he felt they would pull out when the water filled which is a common occurrence. Once the pool was filled the wrinkles did not come out with the water pressure. We had to ultimately drain the pool and reset the liner. The pool was drained one time to correct the problem, not 3 times. We offered to close Mrs. Hillmans pool at no charge for her understanding and she declined. The liner is complete and is installed correctly. The only issue is that she has not completed her payments. As you can see from all our other reviews that our professionalism, promptness, communication and quality of work is what we are praised for. We correct any issues with our work and stand behind it."
