Wow, amazing, and outstanding come to mind with our recent experience with Advanced Pool Designs, Inc. We have always dreamed about an in ground pool and backyard oasis and now we have it, thanks to Jerry at Advanced Pool Designs, Inc. From the start, Jerry and team have been prompt, responsive, on schedule, organized, and pleasant to work with. My kids, husband, and myself are truely grateful to Jerry and team for their dedication to making sure our pool dreams were brought to life with no hassle, no pressure, no surprises and no disappointments. Advanced Pool Design exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend not only their name but their outstanding customer service final product, honesty, and friendliness. Thank you to Jerry for making our dreams come true and having the pool ready for my sons 7th birthday!
Jerry built a beautiful pool that met our family’s needs and we will enjoy for many years to come. I appreciate the personal attention we got and that our special requests were handled with no problems. Jerry is responsive and follows up with any questions or concerns I have, even well after the construction was complete. There was no pressure whatsoever to purchase or upgrade a feature that I didn’t need or want. If you want a high quality pool built by someone who will listen to your needs, Jerry is your guy.
We love our pool! Jerry and his team did an amazing job. Everyone on Jerry’s team was professional and respectful. We were very impressed. It took a bit of time from start to finish but there were no unrealistic expectations. Jerry communicated back with all of our messages in a timely matter and Jake walked us through the initial design and financing information. Both gentlemen were very accommodating. But the kudos goes to the entire team. A big thank you from our Labrador retriever, Cooper!
Advance Pool Design is a reputable company that provided excellent service. Jerry, Cindy and Jake provided extreme professionalism from the design to the installation of our pool and spa. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience from start to finish and highly recommend this company. We use our pool and spa daily and love it! Our family and friends are enjoying this fabulous pool. You too should consider working with Advance Pool Design. They are the best! The Pettway Family
Overpriced pools and salesman did not have any interest sitting down and getting to know what we want. He was very short with us and ready to leave. Kura pool is way more professional to work with and more affordable. Most of my neighbors go with kura pool and they absolutely loved it!!
