We got ripped off. Line failed in 14 months and we have to replace it. Dover Pools recommended All Pools LLC so they are also to blame.
Description of Work: Had a 15 year old pool liner and asked Dover Pools to replace. they recommended we hire All Pools LLC from Harrington. The line was not installed properly and lasted 14 months. All Pools will not stand behind the installation. We bought 2 spas and thousands of dollars of pools supplies over the years from Dover Pools but if they recommend All Pools LLC and we get screwed like we did part of the blame is on Dover Pools. We will be taking our business to Clarks Pools and recommend everybody do the same

When confronted with the leaking liner two reps from this store advised me that unless the leak was in a seam, then the waranty was no good and they could do absolutely nothing except sell me a patch (I would have needed 20 of them at least) or a new liner at about $500.00 for the liner and another $800 or so to install it. THIS IS WHY I PAID $8000 instead of $3-4000 elsewhere for the same product....WARRANTY AND SERVICE! HA! They then proceeded to tell me they could send someone out to replace the liner at a nominal fee of approx. $1400. NO DISCOUNT...NO THANK YOU! I went online and bought the IDENTICAL liner with the same warranty for $289.00 / shipping included and four of us replaced the liner in less than three hours! Buy a cheaper pool from a better company and get better service! The management and their warranties suck! No compassion, no blame, no responsibility, just pay us more to correct a mess we created! And yes.... I tried to explain that I was never told at anytime during the transaction that I should purchase or put a pad under the steps. I was told...sorry....suck it up and buy another liner at your cost! Very poor business! I might also add that I went there to buy chemicals and parts for my pool cleaner. Their prices were literally double the price of the same product 1/4 mile down the road at Clark's Pools. I highly recommend Clark's or online shopping over Dover Pools of Seaford or Dover. Always read the fine print. Their warranties are worthless!!!!!
Description of Work: The installation of the above ground 15X30 top of the line pool was done exceptionally well with the small detail of the company advising me that I should place a mat under the wedding cake steps I bought from them at the same time I bought the pool. Not having this pad resulted in the steps rubbing on the liner and perforating the liner in several areas in less than a year. The company came to my home, excavated and installed the entire pool in two days. They put together the steps and told me to put them in when the pool was fuller. THANKS FOR THE HEADS UP REGARDING STEP MATS! The crew was magnificent, and the salesperson convinced me that I was buying the best pool with the best liner and la de da de da! I find less than a year later...I could have gotten the same service and quality from WalMart!!!!
