    We've used Millennium Pools to open, close and service our pool (as needed) for approximately the…read morelast five years. 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.

    Unique Pools and Spas - Here's my $12,500 pool cover. No order, no return of funds and I'm one of many in the same situation. Genaro is long gone, so is my money.

    Please save yourself from Genaro and Unique Pools - you will not enjoy this experience. If I could…read moregive zero stars I would. I have never been so disappointed and distraught over an investment in my home. I was so excited to have a pool installed before we began. Every aspect of this was a horror - we placed our order 6 months before the pool was delivered- ok I understand Covid... but it was delivered in the afternoon and unique did not have the proper equipment to crane this into our back yard. Hours later a backhoe finally arrives in darkness and hauls this into our yard- utterly destroying our lawn. The pool then sits untouched for four months until work took place sporadically during evening and weekend hours after we chased, called, begged for unique to get started. Concrete finally had to be ordered and paid for directly by us as unique was no longer in good standing with local companies. Concrete was to be colored and stamped but instead was stained - not our preferred color choice. No electrician was available. No cover was ever delivered. The concrete was incorrectly formed for the cover. We are left out of pocket on the cover, finding our own electrician to complete the job, needing to fix the concrete and by the way the pool was left a sloppy stained mess. We are out of pocket better than 15k, plus needing to repair/resod our lawn and repair irrigation which was destroyed by the equipment. We finally have the pool operating one year later and no thanks to Unique. A complete horror show. Run away!

    I'm probably shooting myself in the foot by saying this, but don't give this company your money. We…read moregave them a deposit of approximately $25k in 2021. We gave them another $25k last year. What do we have to show for our money? Nothing. (Unless you count the building permit they managed to obtain through the county.) So many times over the last year we were told they'd get our pool installed as soon as they sorted out whatever the delay was at the time. "Just waiting on permit." "Just waiting on pool distributor to get pool in stock." "Just waiting on pool distributor to find driver to deliver pool." "Too busy moving into new office." In the spring we were told our pool would be installed in July or August. In the summer we were told fall. We actually delayed closing on our newly constructed home a month because we thought the pool would be installed before closing (end of October). We were very clear with Unique Pools that we were pushing our home closing back for the sole purpose of bundling the pool into our mortgage. Then instead of a pool we got more reasons why the install would be delayed. At that point they told us we were on a "very short list" and suggested they'd do our install in December or January. Before Christmas I called and was told they just needed a driver to deliver the pool and they would do the install as soon as the pool arrived, which was supposed to be a matter of weeks. Now it's March. Still no pool. We decided to go with another pool company and are currently trying (unsuccessfully) to get a refund from Unique Pools. The new company told us that they've already redone a few pools that were incorrectly installed by Unique Pools. (So in a way it's a blessing Unique Pools is not going to be doing our pool.) What the new pool company told us about some of these pool businesses is what I've suspected all along-- they fund existing contracts with deposits collected from new contracts. I suspect they are in effect a Ponzi scheme and need new contracts / deposits to make good on the old ones. Unique Pools continues to give us excuse after excuse, even including covid now 4 years out from the pandemic. Meanwhile, the new pool company we're using reports no such delays and assures us it is reasonable to get a pool within a 3-4 month time frame. Writing this review may indeed screw up my ability to get a refund if you heed my advice and avoid giving them your money (lest you never see it again as I fear is going to happen to us). However, the last time I wrote a bad review, Genaro seemed motivated to prioritize our concerns. I told him I'd take the bad review down if he made the situation right. He has not made it right. So here is my honest review again. Maybe this will light a fire under his butt to get us our $50k back. At this point, that money is as good as stolen. STAY AWAY FOLKS!

    They installed pool over 20Y ago, never had an issue with pool. Only weather delays. When we did…read moreneed some piping repair this year, they not only did the job well, its actually better then the original they did 20 years ago. They make apts, and keep them unlike other pool companies. I found them to be lower price than all other local pool companies. And the people are great.

    Signed contract September 2020 for install end of January 2021…read more Construction started June 2021 for a "30-45" day project (still not complete May 27, 2022). Many issues: -Concrete color is salmon, not tan, even AAA workers have said they don't think it is the color they intended -$10k in damages to asphalt driveway (that we were assured by the owner wouldn't happen because we would start our build in January when the ground is frozen) -Major grading issues that causes pool to flood any time it rains -Project abandoned by Brian in August 2021 -Firepit was thrown off to the side and not incorporated into our design -Poor Quality/Workmanship with concrete: no 90° angles, crooked lines, sharp surface, etc. -Tan fence installed with 3-4 different shades (after wrong fence color against our HOA was delivered) -Backwash line overflows/doesn't drain and is eroding our basement foundation and retaining wall -Not enough characters to continue this list. May 2022: Still waiting on project to be finished/corrected. No urgency because this is their "busy season" and have new pools to install. This is the biggest financial mistake I have ever made. Richard Shaver (owner) sat at my breakfast table and told my husband and I that he would build us a backyard oasis. He talked about God and doing good for people. Haven't heard from him since the day we signed the contract. I would love for him to photograph our project and proudly present it on his social media without using Photoshop. If I could have them dig it up and refund us, I would. May 2025 - still flooding, Richard Shaver is a ghost!!
