Great experience with First Coast! I recently purchased a new house with pool equipment I was…read moreunfamiliar with as it differed from prior house. I contacted the pool installer to see if they could come give me tutorial on the equipment they installed but couldn't even get a call back. I contacted at-least 5 other pool companies for a tutorial/inspection and quote for weekly service. One told me to take pictures and come to their store (not helpful), 1 setup appointment but were no show. The other 3 wouldn't return calls or emails. First coast contacted me back within hours of my request and came out 2 days later. The owner was super friendly and explained everything to me and answered all my questions. Ended up setting up a weekly service to get pool under control. I may end up taking it over myself once I understand it more but they are so friendly I may just keep the weekly service. They have been here twice now, pool is clean, equipment is working and provide a email service report each week with photo of pool, chemical readings and summary of the chemicals added and services rendered. Highly recommend this growing company if you need pool service!!

My husband did plenty of research, and he found Purple Heart Pools. They arrived for an estimate and fully explained everything. We decided they were the company we would hire, and they ended up being the best pool company ever! The crew always arrived on time, worked quickly and efficiently, and completed the job in way less time than we thought. Talk about meticulous work! They even regrouted the tile for us as a courtesy. They were incredibly friendly, professional, and affordable! Now, we have them coming for weekly maintenance, something we have never had before, because we want to ensure our pool stays beautiful! The first time I swam in it, I could have cried. The water was clear and blue, and the walls and floor were as smooth as glass. All in all, we highly recommend Purple Heart Pools Inc. They are the absolute best pool company in Jacksonville.

If you're looking to have a pool built I HIGHLY recommend Breakwater Construction when looking for…read morea builder, I did my homework. In so doing, all I heard were complaints about most of the possible companies (specifically wait times & cleanliness.) Breakwater was THE ONLY company that I heard good things about. I gave them a call expecting the same answers that I had been getting from every other place I contacted. Man, was I surprised when I was quoted 6 weeks wait time as opposed to 12-18 months from other companies. After initial visit... it was literally 2 weeks and we were already picking colors, tiles, and pavers. Joe, the owner, made the entire process fun, not at all the headache I suspected! He was so down to earth! So REAL! Honest! Absolutely NO false promises! He kept his word with EVERY aspect of the process. His contractors were ALL just as courteous, through, and timely as Joe was! The yard was cleaned up each day that work occurred! Communication was great every step of the way!!! Even pool school was fun! We couldn't be happier with our pool! Grandkids will definitely put it to good use!!! Call Breakwater your your next pool, patio, fire pit or hot tub! You absolutely won't regret it and end up with a great new friend in the process!!!

Not only did they agree to help us (when lots of other companies refused), but they did it at a reasonable cost.

These guys are honest, KIND and superheroes in our book!! They fixed numerous issues that our original guy left us with and the final result looks AMAZING!! A million thank you's to Southern Waters - I'd give 10 stars if I could!!!

Once he was hired he stayed on schedule, kept me updated on progress with photos as I was not living in the home yet and was 4 hours away.

He even suggested things to do for my pool and kept my pool looking good until I was able to make the final move. I would not hesitate to hire him again or refer him.

Kerry Martin Pools (KMP) provided a good design but the operational execution of our 2025 pool…read morebuild was poor, causing months of avoidable disruption and extra expense. For a six-figure project, we expected significantly better-quality control and communication. What went wrong: * Utility damage handled negligently: During trenching, sprinkler lines were broken. Instead of temporarily capping/taping and repairing while exposed, crews backfilled over the damaged lines. That decision contaminated the irrigation with sand and buried the break, forcing us to locate and repair the line later at additional cost and time. Broken sprinkler are unavoidable during a pool construction but backfilling the trench with sand before repairs are made is a 100% preventable action. * Pool finish (marcite/plaster) was substandard: Initial plaster work showed uneven corners, rough surfaces, and irregular coloring. After plastering, the pool was filled and turned over as "complete" without the proper representative present to inspect and/or get homeowner sign-off. After extensive complaining, KMP agreed to redo the finish -- the pool was drained and refinished, but discoloration remained in one area and required a second drain/refinish. Multiple re-dos created unnecessary delays and inconvenience. Lawn was extensively damaged from acid wash dump. * Communication & scheduling failures: Crews often arrived without notice, and we received little or no scheduling updates. Homeowners should not have to wonder who will be in their yard or when work will occur. * Project timeline and value: The build stretched many months due to rework and preventable mistakes. For $100K+, the workmanship, oversight, and customer care were substandard. What they did right: * Sales/design team created a good design based on what we wanted. If KMP only provided designs, we would have rated them much higher. What KMP should improve: * Implement on-site protocols to protect, flag, and temporarily isolate damaged utilities during excavation. * Require mandatory quality inspections and homeowner sign-off prior to completing work and filling a pool. * Improve scheduling proactive communications for all activities (including the many subcontractors involved). Set expectations for what will be done and when. * Strengthen plaster/finish quality control and oversight of subcontractors. Bottom line: We would not hire Kerry Martin Pools again based on our experience. While the sales and design team performed well, the operational shortcomings -- preventable utility damage left unrepaired, sloppy plaster work requiring multiple re-dos, and inconsistent communication -- turned what should have been an exciting home upgrade into months of disruption and expense. There are reputable pool builders available in northeast Florida; we recommend researching alternatives carefully.
