    So pleased with the experience and the hot tub! Johnna Martin is incredibly knowledgeable and…read moreenjoyable to chat with, basically a hot tub goddess! She helped me make an informed decision that I'm exceptionally happy with. I feel empowered to be able to maintain this beautiful tub and can't wait for the friends I referred to treat themselves to a dream hot tub of their own!

    UPDATE: The manager's response to my original rating is misleading. He commented that they…read moreresponded quickly, but again, this was only after we threatened with a lawsuit. Yes, we have power lines and a slope, but the salesman knew this when he assured us they had suitable delivery options. For 5 months, they blamed us, told us there was nothing they could do, and said it was completely on us - counter to what the salesman told us during the purchase. ORIGINAL POST: Epic Hot Tubs was an Epic Fail. Check the comments on their company on the Better Business Bureau website. It cost us 5 months, hundreds in legal fees, and tons of stress and coordination. They didn't deliver until we threatened a lawsuit. It was only supposed to take a few weeks, but it ook months. Jack Pyles was great until we paid our deposit. He went from telling us that installation would be "no problem" and they would "help coordinate" installation even with our sloped yard... to telling us it was our fault and on us that there were no viable ways to install the swimspa after spending tens of thousands of dollars. He never proactively communicated what was going on - only unhelpful and rude answers when we asked questions. He never even told us that the swimspa got delayed several weeks from the manufacturer to their warehouse. He told his boss that he had given us options but every option he gave us was untenable. For example, he told us to call forklift companies but none of them had operators and we couldn't find anyone that could help. It wasn't until we involved our lawyer and threatened a suit that they finally gave us a way to deliver the swimspa. The entire experience was stressful and unprofessional. Jack was especially rude.

    Working with Steve and Jean has been an absolute dream! The entire process has been easy to…read moreunderstand, and they've used their years of experience to prevent us from making design mistakes we'd eventually regret - which meant less income for them. Carolina Poolscapes provided me with the best value-to-cost quote, the highest-quality communication, and the friendliest customer service of any of the dozen or so pool companies I contacted in the Raleigh area. Every other company I spoke with was more interested in how much I'd be willing to pay for their services while acting like they were doing me a favor by even talking with me. If you want to be treated like a friend or family member, go with Carolina Poolscapes. Steve and Jean were the only ones who were actually invested in the outcome for myself, my wife, and our toddler. I know Yelp only goes up to five stars, but they deserve 10/10!

    Note: Carolina Poolscapes issued a response to our rating…read morewhich bears little resemblance to the facts. First, we did not use Yelp to select Carolina Poolscapes. Yelp contacted us after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes contract. Carolina Poolscapes acts like they were unaware we were dissatisfied. We communicated this to one of the partners on several occasions. We have emails, text messages, photos/videos, security camera footage, and feedback from other contractors who repaired and completed the work of Carolina Poolscapes that confirms the rating we gave. The evidence shows Carolina Poolscapes did extensive damage to our lawn, landscaping, and irrigation, failed to repair them properly, left construction and personal debris strewn about (some of which they never removed), and we later discovered the pool work they did do was unsatisfactory. Our new contractor identified 4 new significant pool plaster delamination spots that Carolina Poolscapes missed, cut out cracks they failed to address, and installed 22 staples to the pool shell. Carolina Poolscapes told us no staples were necessary. We sincerely wish Carolina Poolscapes could witness the firms who repaired their work and completed the project. If they could, Carolina Poolscapes would understand the importance of showing up on time, working a full day, exercising care, doing things correctly, worksite cleanliness, having the necessary serviceable equipment and tools, positive teamwork, listening skills, and not constantly badgering the client for more money and invoicing progress payments before the work is complete. As for the bluestone work, it was done by a subcontractor and now Carolina Poolscapes wants to take credit. Finally, the contractor's partners did not get along, creating friction on the work site, and contributing to unnecessary project delays. We asked for two small changes that added 1-2 days. Weather may have delayed work by 4-5 days, but that is due to the work stretching to nearly 12 weeks (for a "4 week" project). Unlike Carolina Poolscapes, the new contractors issued warranties for their work. As for hiring one of their subcontractors, Carolina Poolscapes repeatedly failed to repair the irrigation system. We considered hiring one of their part-time subcontractors with irrigation skills to do the repair, but Carolina Poolscapes complained, ..., thereby costing the subcontractor income. Further misrepresentations by Carolina Poolscapes on this website or further interference with our contractors under false pretenses (Why did one of the partners call one of our new contractors representing himself as the contractor on our project after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes' contract?) will be viewed negatively and do nothing to change the facts on the ground.
