We feel incredibly lucky that we happened to meet Japi as he was leaving our neighbor's pool one…read moreday -- it was honestly the best stroke of luck for our home. From day one, he has treated our pool with the same care and pride as if it were his own, and we are beyond thankful for his service. Every single week, he sends a detailed email outlining exactly what he completed, the status of our chemical levels, whether anything was added, and even how long we should wait before swimming. He also includes a picture of our pool after he's finished, which always gives us such peace of mind. It's rare these days to find someone who is not only so thorough, but who genuinely wants you to feel informed and confident about the care your pool is receiving. Our pool has never looked better, but more importantly, we trust Japi completely. His consistency, kindness, and dedication mean so much to us, and it shows in every visit. If you're looking for someone who will take care of your pool with honesty, heart, and true professionalism, we cannot recommend Japi and GP&A Pool Services enough. They've been an absolute blessing to us.

We hired GP&A after speaking with several pool companies and chose them specifically based on their…read morereviews praising quick response times and communication. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. We did the "Green-to-Clean ($800)". It took SIX weeks. We had to repeatedly follow up because they would go ~2 weeks without showing up or communicating. When we asked, we were told there was an emergency situation, we tried to be understanding, but there was no proactive communication on their end. We decided weekly service ($250/month). After the initial clean, we signed up for weekly maintenance. Within 24-48 hours of each visit, chlorine levels would drop back to 0 ppm. GP&A's explanation was that our pool system was outdated and needed to be replaced. However, we had two separate pool inspections done when we purchased the home, plus 3-4 other pool companies assess the equipment, none of them flagged the system (installed in 2017) as a problem requiring replacement. Upsell attempts: GP&A quoted us a full system replacement (under $6,000) and then a filter replacement (~$2,200) before they said they could continue service. We decided to move on to another provider. End of service: We asked if they could continue maintaining the pool through the end of the month. Their last visit was six days before the final day of the month (image attached). The pool was visibly green and in poor condition by end of month (again they serviced it 6 days ago and it is this green; not adding enough chlorine). When we brought this up, they responded that the condition was "consistent with the unresolved filtration issue for which repairs were recommended", essentially placing responsibility on us for not purchasing their repair package. We were looking for a long-term, trustworthy pool service company. What we experienced was poor communication, inconsistent results, and recommendations that no other company has supported. I cannot recommend GP&A based on our experience.

Hired them because Bob does know his stuff, but it was all downhill after the original consult…read more Working with them has been an utter disaster and waste of some 55k. In a mere 6 months AFTER the pool renovation was completed, the pavers gapped, not once but twice. They came out and fixed them, even doing soil injections a second time only for the exact same problem to return. The concrete beam or whatever its called under the coping is cracking and falling apart in two places. I've got several seams of grout in the coping tile that has completely separated b/c their sub contractor did a horrible job with cuts and used grout in almost 1.5inch seams which is absurd. They keep saying they are going to come out, but weeks pass without a single person showing up. Its now been months and I'm exploring my legal options, even if it just means taking them to small claims court. These guys are a construction defect nightmare who use a bunch of cheap mexican labor that doesn't speak english. DO NOT HIRE THEM. Update: They still haven't fixed the horrendous grout work yet they've been telling me for months someone will come out to fix it. Look at the grout size....this is the quality of work everyone. You think this is acceptable? Then they send out some loser who barely speaks english and he does a hand cut on a tile so it looks jagged like a bottle cap. He puts a bunch of sand in without truly fixing the gaps and calls it a day in an hour. The owner of the company, Bob, emails me to say it's all fixed. This company is a blatant joke. I should sue them just to make their life hell since they have made mine hell. Blue Escapes is just one giant construction defect claim waiting to happen. The worst contractor experience I've ever had and I've done full remodels on several properties before. If you hire them, be ready to spend a lot of money for the worst possible workmanship you've seen. You've been warned.

First, let me start this review by saying that if you're looking to build a pool and have never…read moredone this before you are in for a shocking experience. This will be a fun, exhausting, exciting, frustrating, angry and elation filled 5+ months ahead of you. Luckily, Cody Pools can help highlight the good and mitigate the bad. We moved to Dallas from NYC late last year and had ZERO experience with owning a pool. We interviewed 3 different pool builders locally and received bids that ranged wildly across the pricing spectrum. Cody's bid came in the middle and we felt it was very fair. I even price checked them with my friend who owns a pool building company in another state and he said he would charge me the same price for our design and he confirmed Cody Pools to be very reputable. The wife and I did get off to a rocky start with our designer but if you encounter the same issue, I certainly would not let that deter you from using Cody. Once the real work starts, it's only Project Managers and construction people you deal with. Our Project Manager was Shawn Barnacle and he was absolutely amazing. If he is on your project, you are lucky and I guarantee you will be pleased. He was always responsive and always on your side any time you had a question, concern, adjustment to be made, etc... We shared pots of coffee on many a morning as we discussed where we were in the process, what's left to complete and how much longer it will take. He's been in this business a looong time and seen it all. He is honest about every aspect of the project (even if you don't like what he tells you) and is absolute about you being happy with the finished product. Some things to be mindful of - Hidden costs: we ended up having to re-route electric wires and gas lines, both of which Cody does not perform and were additional expenses. This includes sprinkler system repair/re-routes after they complete the pool. Also, the yard gets COMPLETELY destroyed during this build process and needs to be re-sod/landscaped afterward which is another expense. Cody is happy to recommend contractors who can do all of this work and we found those recommendations to be solid. (Shawn will make sure no one takes advantage of you.) Timing: whatever time frame you have in mind, add another month....at least. This is a seriously invasive process and you should set your expectations accordingly before you even begin. From initial design to naked swimming, I would say it took 6 months. We did have sporadic weather delays contributing to this and under optimal circumstances, I believe they could start/finish the entire process within 4 months. Overall, we were very happy with Cody Pools and if you're crazy enough to chase that dream of swimming naked in your own backyard, I strongly recommend hiring Shawn, his beard, and Cody Pools to help make it come true.
