The gentleman at Leslie's was knowledgeable, knew how to research and found the part I needed and it was delivered in 2 days. I was so impressed with his service that I bought more accessories and pool chemicals. I'll be back mid summer to get more chemicals and also if I have any issues. Pool work is not easy but worth the enjoyment. It helps to deal with knowledgeable staff. I also observed this gentleman de escalate an issue with a belligerent customer over a few dollars. Here's to a refreshing summer!

We visited Leslie's after setting up a new Intex pool and finding online that they are a national…read morechain. We were helped by the store manager himself. While the manager seemed to be truly knowledgeable about pool products and chemicals, we felt mocked the entire time we were in the store. We were basically told Intex wasn't a 'pool' and that they didn't have any ladders or vacuums that would work with it, despite the reviews I'd read online about using the Zippy for intex pools and the roll up ladder. They mocked our water "sample container", our "pool" and even me, as they laughed, giggled and questioned me the entire time we were in the store about how I reminded them of another customer. When I expressed directly that I felt they were being mean, we were told it was a long day, we could either laugh with them or just stand there and stare at them. When we asked to purchase the chemicals necessary to stabilize the pool based on the tests they were able to complete, we were not given any information on options, such as sizes, costs, etc., just presented the chemicals and the bill. We should have turned around and walked out sans purchase, but we paid the bill and left. IMHO, I would visit ANY pool store in the area EXCEPT this one!!

They quickly diagnosed the issue, replaced a leaking ozone system, and verified full operation. My spa was up and running in under an hour! Outstanding service from highly skilled technicians at a very reasonable cost. I've learned most spa distributors in the Richmond, VA area rely on Southern Spa Service for their service calls. They're in high demand, so scheduling takes patience--but it's absolutely worth it for Southern Spa's expertise and reliability. If you need professional, knowledgeable techs at fair prices, this is the company!

After having poor experiences with some of their competitors, I've been very pleased with their professionalism and attention to detail while still offering competitive prices. I appreciate their work order reports and the very detailed pictures that they include. I also wanted to call out two of their employees, specifically -- Nahum and Miguel. This year, due to all of the snow, our pool cover caved in and the pool cover pump accidentally pumped out most of the pool water before we discovered it. That, coupled with lots of leaves in the pool, made for a much more difficult opening this year. Nevertheless, Nahum and Miguel went the extra mile to get the pool to open very clean and clear. They spent extra time but did so with a very positive, helpful attitude that I appreciated. I would highly recommend them.

Update: After posting this review, Millennium Pools reached out to us and worked with us on an…read moreupgrade we were considering for our pool. We appreciate that gesture and their willingness to address some of our concerns. While our original experience and the delays remain unchanged, it is only fair to acknowledge their effort to make things better. After more than six weeks, our pool liner project is still not complete because Millennium Pools has measured the liner incorrectly multiple times. We are now waiting for a third liner and hoping it finally fits. To make matters worse, the company removed our old liner and left our pool empty and without a liner for two weeks while we wait for the replacement. What should have been a routine liner installation has turned into a lengthy and frustrating process. The company has offered no discount or compensation for the delays, inconvenience, or loss of use of our pool, despite the fact that the mistakes were entirely their own. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars with this company and expected better service, communication, and accountability. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Millennium Pools.

River Pools Roanoke - Extremely Unresponsive…read more We've been trying to reach River Pools Roanoke for over a month now about an inground pool installation and still have not heard back from anyone. We called multiple times during their business hours, left several voicemails, and sent text messages as requested, but no one has returned a single call or message. If this is how they treat potential customers at the very beginning of the process, it really makes you question how they would handle a major project or any problems after installation. This franchise comes across as completely irresponsible when it comes to basic communication and follow-through. We've decided to look elsewhere for a pool company that actually answers the phone and respects our time.
