This principle has been with Lee-Sure Pools for its 40-year history. In the beginning Lee-Sure Pools concentrated only on the remodeling of pools and pool decks, but with the changing of times Lee Sure Pools has also changed.

This experience edge pays off for customers in a job that’s estimated correctly, performed in the least amount of time and with the least amount of inconvenience to the homeowner. Lee-Sure Pools services on in-ground pools include, re-plastering, tile repair, new tile installation, deck resurfacing and complete deck removal, along with complete pool-related plumbing work. They also specialize in adding great new touches like stunning fountain weirs and continuous action waterfalls. Plus, all the great concrete deck options such as stamped concrete designs and colored patterns can literally change your pool environment from drab to dazzling. Ever since 1976 the focus Lee-Sure has been on pool remodeling and rejuvenation. For the past 20 years Lee-Sure Pools has also been installing and perfecting the art of concrete resurfacing. With the growth of Albuquerque and the market for resurfacing concrete, Lee-Sure Pools formed a division named Design Deck.

The job was well-done.  Very professional.  I used them a number of years ago to resurface my pool, and both times they were extremely trustworthy.  They did a great job, and knew exactly how to proceed.  My only complaint is that they are a little short on the communications end.  I had to follow up to find out when we were scheduled, over how many days the repairs would occur, etc. However, once the schedule was set, they stuck to it.   I would highly recommend them. They know what they are doing, and their prices seem fair.

Beautiful tile and plaster job.  Great pump, filter, heater.  Great folks to work with.
However, there were issues.  
   1) Apparently, the filter wasn't assembled correctly at the factory and it wasn't checked, so filter material was deposited in the pool while it was curing over the weekend and we couldn't contact them to correct it until Monday.  They came in an fixed it, but we think this lead to a slight discoloration of the beautiful plaster job.
   2) We expected the bubbler for the spa to be refurbished, but apparently not.
I am so happy to have the pool functional again, that I can overlook these issues, but I'm guessing other people may not be so generous.  If these had not happened, I would have given them all Excellent scores.

They did a good job on the tile. There was a hiccup with draining the pool, but what impressed me is they didn't shy away from responsibility, and they stepped up and fixed the issue. I would use them again.

Minus some weather delays that were beyond their control they got the job done on time. Both the estimator and the crew were on time and did very nice work. The pool looks brand new.

The cost varies because every pool is different. They were amazing. We put in four different pools and they were professional, on time, clean, and honest. It is a great company to work with.

The job itself went fairly smoothly.  We were working with a contractor who was constructing an outdoor kitchen as well, and that is where most of the delays came. Whenever I tried to contact, Lee Poper, the owner. He would get back to me promptly.
The problems came after the job was done:
1) The newly poured gunite pool began to discolor from white to a brownish bronze after about six months.  I contacted Lee about this issue, and we had to redrain the pool after the first season of use and have his workers come out to use a blow torch to correct the discoloration.  This occurred only after he accused our pool company of not having the chemicals adjusted correctly and sent out his own workers to recheck the chemistry. We had to pay an additional $1000 in addition to paying the water bill to refill the pool after the work was done.
2) Our previous pool deck was covered in something called Kool Deck, which was wonderful because we have children who are outside and cannot be relied upon to put their shoes on. I emphasized to Lee (on more than one occasion) that I wanted a cool surface for our new deck.  He suggested a plain poured concrete deck, and we chose a greyish color.  I asked about the need to apply Kool Deck or acrylic to this concrete to ENSURE that it would be cool, to which he stated that would be unnecessary.  During our first season of summer use, I noticed the surface was incredibly hot and even called Lee on the telephone to complain. Of course, he didn't offer any solution.  This summer (our second) our children are older and we have had more pool parties.  On more than one occasion, we have had our children and their guests wind up with THEIR FEET BLEEDING due to the heat of the concrete surface. As children can be, they were careless running around without their shoes on, thereby burning off layers of skin and ultimately causing a bleeding wound.  Now, I have to find another company to apply an acrylic surface to our brand -new concrete.  I WILL NOT BE USING LEE-SURE POOLS AGAIN, NOR WOULD I RECOMMEND THEM.

Leesure Pools opened my pool after it was closed for almost two years. The pool was very dirty and needed to be acid washed. Additionally the timer that was put on a couple of years ago never worked. We asked Leesure Pools to replace it. Instead they checked it and found it just needed to be rewired. This saved us money and solidified our feeling that they were a good, honest company. The techs were great and the work was completed quickly.

Mr Poper was a very courteous and professional individual. His crew were professional and handled the project with minimal down time. The end result made our 16 year old pool look brand new in addition to allowing us more enjoyment with the addition of the slide. We would recommend this company to anyone who is in need of pool repair in a New-York minute.

Appointment for quote went well, Jacob very responsive. Good explanation of technology and process to be used, including maintenance and upkeep and future "refinishing". Competitive with similar technologies and with natural flagstone. 3' wide curved walkway connects existing patio with new 14' circular patio in backyard. Expansion joints appear to be flexing properly six months later. Additional caulking was requested and is colored to look natural. This job draws many compliments from friends who see it.Hopefully the sealant and color will last as expected. Surface seems scratch-resistance from patio furniture so far. Slope seems correct and drains properly. Overall, a nice job.

Everything went well with. The sales person was pleasant, punctual, and knowledgeable. It's a family owned business, which I liked. The came out did the work on time, at a reasonable price, and they did quality work. There is a crack now, but they said they would come out to fix it, and I should call back in a couple of months, and they would make it right.

They did a really nice job and I am happy with their work. The owner, Lee, came out to do an initial look at the pool and he gave a good estimate so we decided to use him. They finished it when they said they were going to. He did a nice tile job on the floor and he was very customer friendly. We'll probably use them again for the cement work.

I am writing to formally give you kudos, thumbs up, pat on the back, sing from the highest mountain, how happy we are with the job you and your staff did to our pool and surrounding area. From the very beginning you were very professional, listening to our needs and desires, taking notes, measuring, offering suggestions and not feeling offended when we didn't agree. You gave more than we could have asked for. When things came up unexpectedly you explained what was happening in a manner I could understand and you were very easy to work with. Your insight as to the technical and visual side proved invaluable! I must also say your staff were all pleasant to be around, professional, happily answered questions and listened to my suggestions. Everything you did..we love the fountain, we love the drain around the perimeter and the rocks to hide that it'a a drain, we love the patio cover, the tile job, the plaster and the stamped and stained concrete. Putting it all together we really feel we have a showcase pool and patio area! All thanks to you and your incredible team of workers. (this job was started in Nov 2010 and completed in Dec 2010, as planned) Kelly Atkin and Roy Ricci

They were great. Something came up the following year that was weather related but they came back and redid part of the patio. They are pricey but it is worth it; the value was high.

Lee has worked with me since I wrote my earlier review. He has made sure that I am happy and has gone above and beyond what was needed to get there because I have been too busy to do some of the maintenance. I am impressed by the effort and I would recommend Lee Sure Pools, Inc. for pool/spa service.

Overall, it took longer than I thought (due to my changes), cost much more than I had wanted to pay, but it looks good. I would recommend Lee Pools for concrete work. I have also posted a report for Lee Pools for the Spa cleaning and activation. That report is not glowing.

Very well. They were on-time and Lee did an excellent job of keeping me informed of the progress and coordinated well with the sub-contractors. There were no surprises and Lee was very accommodating with payments. I have worked with a lot of contractors and home service providers in Albuquerque and Leesure Pools is in the top 5% in my opinion.

They were very professional, I dealt with the owner. I wasn't pleased with the estimate, but I was pleased with the experience. He was honest and I trusted him.
