Best above ground pool installation pros near Franconia, VA

"On one of the hottest days of northern Virginia summer of 2019, James and his crew installed my pool with professionalism and determination to get it up so that we had it to enjoy for the upcoming hottest weekend ahead. So looking forward to coming home from work and cooling off! I now have three very happy grandchildren. Very pretty pool. Also we already had an established pool area, with all the sand etc, so since they didnâ t have to prepare the area with sand, James finished with mulch. We always want things for less money, so that is the only reason for 4 1/2 stars."

"I have used Alfa for 4 seasons. In the past, I used one of the big chain pool Co which always disappointed us. The only things the other Co was consistent in was over charging & never being accountable for poor service. I got so fed up I literally gave them the middle finger & waved bye bye.. lucky for me I found Alfa J Pool Service. The services I use are: open/close, maintenance, water ailments, trouble shooting & repair. In each case I have never felt disappointed, slighted nor overcharged. The service is friendly, professional and remarkably refreshing. I am on a very tight budget right now which is challenging when my pool is big and old and requires a tender touch as well as thoughtful & delicate treatment. Alfa has managed to keep her happy and healthy. My recommendation to you is, stop scrolling and end your search here. Consider yourself blessed by the pool gods and start your service with Alfa today! i will add b4 & after pics after acid wash (when budget allows)"

"Backyard Ponds is magic. I have a small backyard pond,stream and waterfall that have been
leaking for years. Various workmen had poured concrete into it, slathered mortar
between stones and sprayed special waterfall foam all over the sides of it. My
pond, stream and waterfall continued to leak. Hilary of Backyard Ponds looked at it for a while, moved one
stone and fixed the leak. How did you do that! I yelled. Well after you work on
enough of these things you get an eye for what the problem could be. Then she
vacuumed all the mud that had been clogging the pum , reattached the waterline
and pump that I could never get to stay together, restacked the rocks along the
edge of the stream so they actually sat on top of each other instead of sliding
down at all angles, and added a few strategically placed rocks to hide the pump
and waterline and cover the rubber sides of the stream. She added a regulator to
the water line so I could make the water run fast and slow. And more. I have had
a pond and stream for fifteen years, and many people have worked on it, from
expensive professioanl landscapers to guys I would swear the contractor picked
up off the street corner. The difference in using someone who specializes in
ponds is stunning. Backyard ponds is
magic.

My pool needed pretty much a rework of all the filtering and pump equipment due to age.

Contacted several companies for quotes.  BJ's was in the middle ground pricewise, but 2 of the companies were also sky high on their estimates.

These guys removed all the old equipment, put in a new concrete pad, & installed all new equipment.

They started on schedule and finished when they said they would.

Bill from BJ's did a great job and is very professional as is everyone else there at BJs.

Bob (the owner of BJs) even found me a replacement for my outdated fiber optic light which had not worked in years and had been discontinued by the manufacturers for years as well. Talk about finding a needle in a haystack!

Thanks to all at BJs for the great job!

Hristo did everything possible to get the job done. This particular June 2016 was filled with many rain days and made his schedule hectic. He kept me in the loop and was up front and honest about the delay noting vinyl liners must be installed in dry, sunny weather - none of which came for a few weeks.

The job was handled quickly and professionally while his team made several visits to complete the job. During this time we got even more rain but the liner was installed by then and they finished all well within the timeframe.

I write all this because Hristo kept me informed which I appreciated and which has earned him and his team my respect and gratitude.

A job more than well done! Also, within budget :)

"Coordinated scheduling and additional work/pricing with Shannon; she was great to work with. Timothy did the actual electrical work and I found him to be professional and courteous. He did a great job and went above and beyond and did additional work I had not originally requested. I highly"

"Paul is the heart, soul, and brains of his company. He truly cares and treats our pool like his own. He has gone above and beyond, numerous times. There is no one else I trust. Thank you, Paul and VIP Crew!"

"It was great. They're working to make sure the pool is clean. The quality of work was good, very professional, on time, and completed the task I gave them within the time period."

"Matt and his crew were on time, professional and on time. We first called a big name company that you may see on the back of a truck. Well that company quoted us $10,000-$15,000 for less work; at that point it was ONLY the furnace. I called Matt for a second opinion. Obviously, he quoted me for half the price of the back of the truck company WITH the water heater added in. Total work done: replaced furnace and outside unit, replaced water heater, installed water pump, installed 2 EcoBee thermostats. The big name company was ONLY doing the furnace and outside unit. We will call Matt for our future needs."

"Kevin did a great job. Showed up on time cleaned up when done and managed expectations well.

Unfortunately, the counter challenges (unhoned granite) were beyond the capabilities of the cleaning. For most people, Kevin will be just the ticket. If you have stains that are too deep, you need a different solution."
