Description of Work: I contacted Merit Quality Pools in Torrington, Connecticut regarding pool repair and closing. I selected them because they were members of Angie's List, and had one positive review and an A rating. I called during business hours and the call went straight to voicemail. I left a message indicating the work that needed to be done and contact info. Several days later I was contacted by an employee who took additional information and said that it would be passed on to individual in charge, who would be contacting me. I have never heard another word from this company, and that was several weeks ago. I have called back, phone always goes to voicemail, and my calls are never returned. If a company is unable to do the work, or very busy, they can still return phone calls and not leave a potential customer hanging like this. Not impressed with their business practices at all.

Excellent. Upon determining our pool liner was damaged beyond repair, I contacted three local pool companies for proposals. Ed, the owner of Merit pool came out promptly with one of his employees. He provided a verbal estimate of the work involved, the timeline for the project and the price range. One other estimate was received (although the owner did not take any measurements) and another provider never returned my call. Upon receiving the second proposal, the decision was made to go with Merit. Upon contract signing, Merit came back out to the house with a sump pump to empty the pool and ensure the measurements for the bottom of the pool were accurate. They came back a day later to retreive the sump pump. The liner was ordered and Merit stayed true to the quoted timeline, the price and delivered a quality product with outstanding service. Unfortunetly, The Merit team had one of the hottest and most humid days of the summer to install the liner. Ed and his team arrived first thing in the AM as promised and remained in good spirits as they installed the liner in the blazing hot sun/humidity. It's a nasty process removing the old liner, smoothing out rough spots and laying the new liner. They did an excellent job. I highly recommend Merit Pools.
Description of Work: Removal of damaged liner and installation of new liner Water not included in price and was provided by a third party.

Description of Work: After hiring and firing another local pool company, we went to Merit for some advice. While we were not a customer, Merit treated as like a valued customer- and provided sound advice on what needed to be done to get the pool back on track.

I just bought a home with an in-ground pool that was left in total dis-repair. After using 2 other local pool companies, I sought out the services of Merit Quality Pools to finish the job that the other companies did not. Within two days of getting the guidance I was looking for to get my pool up and running, Meri and her staff had us swimming in our pool. They did not try to sell me chemicals or products I did not need but simply tested the pool water and provided a computerized analysis of what was needed to get my pool in balance. They have been very helpful ever since that initial service and I plan to use them to assist me in closing my pool this fall. While they were not responsible for the inital installation of the pool, I feel like they know and understand my pool better than I do. Merit Quality Pools may have been the third company I used this season, but they are first in my book. I highly reccommend Merit Quality Pools in Torrington, CT.
Description of Work: Consultation via computerized analysis of pool water, recommendations on chemicals and products needed, on-going phone support as needed, education on the best pool equipment to buy.
