This is Oct 2022
Victoria L.

We broke ground in August 2022. Communication has been poor. Our rep is Jesus. Nothing has been more frustrating since it is now Oct 21, 2022. We go 2 weeks about 2-3 times since breaking ground with no activity. There is only activity when I'm screaming hell. Then all of a sudden they have a schedule and someone coming out immediately the next day. Jesus appeases with this and that will happen and then it doesn't. Seems like no one else is responsible or follow up. There is no communication unless I initiate it. $130,000 and then photo is what you see. Nothing but frustration on our end. They seem to pick up new business and string along the current clients. Always excuse if I have another job. What about this job or how about not taking on more than what you can do. Also ordered and installed the wrong brick and Jesus blames the design guy and the design guy throws it at us. Seriously.

Update: Today is Friday, May 13, 2022. It has been almost 1 year and 6 months since we have purchased the hot tub. I won't change the 1 star I have given this company. I would like to wait 3 months to see if the newly installed panels will warp. I will reevaluate my star review in 3 months. I am thankful that Richard's pool got our hot tub fixed. It took over a year and a post of dissatisfaction to finally get their attention, But they came through in the end... and for that, we are grateful.

This is what they consider plaster done correctly

I feel saddened that what everyone is going through with this company. Seem very consistent with issues.

Phase 1 the Dig

At a suggestion from several friends I plan to review during the phases of my pool build. This review will be updated and pics added as it progress's! Starting off Barry was a great sales person to deal with, he spent a lot of time reviewing options and upgrades and helping my wife and me to decide on pool design and materials. Jose, our project manager, has been great communicating and letting us know whats going on. I look forward to his updates as we progress. Phase 1 - The Dig. Fast forward to the dig, wow those guys are fast! This is my first pool construction but I have to say I was very impressed with the dig. Phase 2 - Coming soon! Update - At this point I think I should wait until the pool is finished and give an overall review. There have been highs and lows as expected.

the salesman billy is awesome. but as as soon as you deal with delivery lady kristie/christy how ever you spell it. the service turned bad. rude to say the least. if you do not use their electrician because you are replacing a hot tub, they will not connect the tub. stating they dont touch someone else's work. wtf. the wires are inside the hot tub so that makes no sense. now i have a tub i cant use. trying to contact hot springs company now smh the 2 stars for the salesman

3 months in

See all

The beginning of the end for their reputation as they tend to cut corners and doing the right thing! Had Watts for the first pool. Randy was great to work and everything was professional, done right the first time or corrected immediately. Requested Watts to come out to put in a new pool at the new home. Their sales guy lives in the neighborhood. No show first meeting. Late for second meeting. And, subsequently the salesman was several days late providing the estimate which was BY FAR the MOST EXPENSIVE. Over the next few months I asked neighbors, club members and friends if they had experience with Watts and, if so, to share. Appears their experiences are quite similar. Even a childhood friend of Randy's and one of his friends validated similar experience and their sadness over the decline. More than one mentioned writing Randy and not hearing back. When notified about the repeated issues and requesting a different sales agent, Ms. Watts responded indignantly,"youhave to deal with the sales guy as it is his territory...for 20 years...? Really? Mentioned the cost issue...."That is the price!". Ironically, they said it would have to be hand dug because a loader would not get between the homes. Really. The competition had no issue getting a loader into the yard nor building for 30% less. Watts Pool, a company built by a grandfather, a son continuing to improve and grow its first rate legacy lower its quality and customer service. In the neighborhood where Watts built its reputation it is sad, yet no wonder, the Watts sign is rarely seen around the neighborhood.

I'm delighted to report that Watts Pool Company did a fantastic job, the job was completed on a timely basis and within budget. From design to completion Watts Pools did a fantastic job in all facets of the project. They also coordinated the construction of a pergola, decking and landscaping that all look fantastic with the finished pool. I would recommend Watts pools for any project, small or large you will love the finished product. Amazing!

We have plenty of cleaners, we needed this pool store! I was immediately greeted by the husband and wife franchise owners. I spoke for a moment with the wife about my needs and soon learned they have referrals for plaster work, pool maintenance/service workers and expert knowledge about pools in general. I was given a container to bring a sample in of my pool water to have it checked at no cost. I was delighted to have such a warm introduction to the store. Aside from the maintenance and chemical items, they also have fun floats, thermometers, outdoor clocks, towel holders and much much more. The store was exceptionally clean. I have always liked pool stores since was a kid. The smell brings back so many memories. Seems I was always in a pool store with my dad or my grandmother. We would go in for chemicals to treat our pools. Back in the mid 70's and early 80's, you did it yourself since having a "pool guy" was not as common as it is today. I'm very excited about how well the store is stocked. They pack a lot in this small space and I will be back to get some new floats soon. They carry my favorite brand of floats, SwimWays. Great customer service, pristine store, good prices and big selection. What more can you ask for in a pool supply place?

After meeting with several local pool contractors for construction in The Heights, we chose to work…read morewith Peak Pools and Spas primarily due to the trust we felt from the first discussion with the co-owner, Ben. He took his time walking us through the process (first time pool owners), never tried to upsell with high pressure tactics, and was objective in describing pros/cons of various options. Once the permit was approved, Ben's teams worked quickly and without any issue (or major unforeseen expenses). I really valued having Ben as a point of contact for any questions that we had, and even after the project closed, he was quick to follow up and support any outstanding topics that I brought his way. Claudia and Ben are an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would highly recommend Peak Pools and Spas to anyone looking to get started.

We selected Peak Pools because of their timeliness of response, thoroughness in estimate and honest approach of utilizing what we wanted in a pool, rather than inflating price with extra features. A pool building experience is very taxing and a long process over several months, but Ben Peak coordinates the contractors and holds each team accountable and to a timeframe. This is truly a family business and it shows in the quality of their project, past referral responses & their willingness to make their customer satisfied. We highly recommend Peak Pools - their finished product has made our backyard experience a joy
