    So to be completely honest and somewhat humble in my review. I give Frank a shrug my shoulder kind…read moreof review. Frank did respond quickly and he did make his appointment with us on time. But as soon as he opened his mouth about how long he has been in business and who he services, I knew this was not a match made in heaven. His ego and his lack of customer service really showed. He spent more time stroking his own chicken and pricing us out before we even got started, it was absolutely insane. This man has been doing this for 39years and he is so high strung, lacks patience, and wants to sell all top end options. I am all for up selling your product but to say our budget is not me(Frank) was a bit overwhelming. Everything started at 50 to 60k and who gives a range of 10k in a verbal estimate when you don't even know what we need versus wants. What can we get for our budget is not in his wheelhouse or vocabulary. When in fact the person who referred us spent under $50k with him for a bigger pool then we wanted. So it's just odd to me that he kept saying that many times over, again pricing us out of the picture. The most daunting thing that really surprised me is how he wants to be efficient and lower his costs but increase my costs. Frank says to me you are going to have to remove that crepe myrtle and I need 10 feet in width to drive a "trailer hoe" back here. And yes it will tear up all your sod and your neighbors yard. Wait what I don't have 10' on either side. Okay so you plan to replace it right. No I don't do landscaping. So let me get this straight he wants to drive some 10 feet wide excavator back here to dig up a five feet deep pool? I looked it up and they do have smaller excavators that will reach the depth that is needed and are much lighter and smaller. But because of efficiency and his cost he plans to lack care for your yard. Just to pass another bill on to you 10' x 40' run is another $4k to fix the sod and $1200 for sprinklers to be replaced. I knew from earlier in the conversation he doesn't do landscaping so you will have to call two more companies to put your yard back once he is done tearing it up. From a common sense perspective take care of the yard and maybe charge a little more for time. It can't be the $5,200 in damage you plan to do. Lastly, if he said to me one more time I do all the pools for doctors, lawyers, and nurses in this area I would have probably puked. And if he tells me one more time he is the undercover guy they send out to inform lawyers on lawsuits. Puke again. Just too much ego for me. Frank I wish you the best and yes you probably should stick with the doctors, and lawyers, and nurses because they obviously like to be up-sold on materials they don't necessarily need for you to profit on standard materials you buy in bulk at a low cost. I appreciated your time and input. Only wasted 20 minutes of my time. Frank is definitely knowledgeable in his field but if you lack patience this guy is not the one for you. We decided to walk away with an agreement it was not a match. I gave him 3 stars because of his timeliness, knowledge, and workmanship via pictures. Frank has some work to do on customer service, cost control, flexibility, and patience.

    They have taken peoples money and left their pool projects unfinished! My wife and I had to go hire…read moresubcontractors to finish our pool at an additional cost to us.

    This review has ben a long time coming...my husband wrote one but I also wanted to share my…read morethoughts. As a family with 3 boys, we had wanted a pool forever but it was never the right time, didn't have the extra cash around or when it was, it seemed like we were in a market where it was difficult to trust our decision with anyone. Until, my husband found Southern Serenity Pools. The owner was branching out to open his own company, which my husband and I both very much respected, being business owners as well. It was clear from the beginning that much the same as us, he branched out to do things his way (the right way). From day 1, there was no pressure and the process was seamless. In March of 2023, we signed our paperwork to get the process started. Step 1, the dreaded permitting, was the longest step of the entire process, but during the waiting period we had already been scheduled to go to the design center and choose all our finishes, ensuring no time wasted. After a bit of a waiting period, on 6/12/23 we finally received the permits and the very next day ground was cleared for the dig. There were many steps after this obviously (in fact being very Type A, I kept a detailed timeline document for this entire process and every step with dates), but work was always delivered on as promised, inspections were timely and we passed each one the first time. Southern Serenity even worked with all of the additional contractors to ensure we had a beautiful backyard oasis (turf, fence, gutters, etc). In mid July of 2023 our pool was being filled and the owner took his own quality time to deliver our pool school trainings. As is with any big investment, along the way there were "little issues" that arose but they were ALWAYS handled in a timely and professional manner. To say that this experience was flawless would be an understatement. As a family we would give 10 out of 5 stars if we could. We highly highly recommend and even now when the water is cold and we don't want to turn the pool heater on, we can't get enough of just looking outside at our beautiful backyard oasis!! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts Southern Serenity Pools. We are so grateful!!
