Back in January of 2024 Joe said his dog got on his golf cart which he left in reverse with the key on and ran into the door of mu truck. He didn't want to turn it into his insurance so he ask me to get him estimates and he would pay me. I got four estimates from four certified body shops they ran between $3,200.00 and 3'400.00 he and his wife went ballistic after over two months I decided something was better than nothing and we agreed on only $1,800.00. Joe said he would send me a check here it's November and NO check. This is the kind of man your dealing with. I'm still waiting.

While his dog was left unattended in a golf cart, it stepped on the accelerator, running into a truck. Joe didn't want to file with his insurance promising to pay for the damage. Now he is refusing to pay for the cost of the damage!! Not the full estimate cost, only half of the estimated cost.

Joe was very professional and prompt and even though we hired him when we were still living in MA and he did the work sight unseen his workmanship was excellent. We are very happy with the results and enjoy the pool every day now.

After the hurricane, I had a pool that appeared more like a swamp. In the past, Ihave used several local pool service and restoration companies only to band aid the problem while also spending hundreds on chemicals. My primary concern, was to eliminate the algae and have a useable pool to enjoy. After researching on Angie’s list, I deceived to give J & J pools a call. Not only did the owner Joe come out to the property, he personally took the time to explain the root of the problem and the steps for a solution. I was aware that the pool will eventually need resurfacing. J & J do offer this service. At this stage I have a limited budget, Joe did not push this service he completely understood that this will be a project in the future. The process for draining the pool, pressure washing and re filling the pool was done in a timely fashion. I did have a question or two during the process and Joe was always available and more than willing to help. He is professional, friendly and an excellent communicator. The cost was very reasonable. I wish I would have found the company sooner. I would hands down recommended Joe and his outstanding team and company for any of your pool needs. Sincerely, Peter Roeder happy pool owner !

The driver's insurance company asked that I obtain bids, so I contacted three companies with good ratings on this site. One company did not reply, and J & J offered the most competitive price of the two bids received. Since they had previously built a pool for a neighbor, I was familiar with the quality of their work. For my project, they were very professional, completed the work promptly, and did an excellent job. I can recommend this company highly!
Description of Work: An out of control car skidded on its side across my driveway causing concrete damage. The driver's insurance company paid for the needed repairs which included removal of broken concrete, pouring new concrete, applying "spraycrete" texture, and painting the surface.

The best work ethic I've ever seen. Came on time, was there as scheduled worked quickly. Didn't drag out repairs. Unbelievable results! Felt like someone else's Pool, couldn't believe the transformation. What impressed us most was his attention to detail. If you had a question about anything he was there to talk to. We were going out of town, parents were there to house sit. A new pool needs brushed daily. Joe came back daily to brush so my Father, at his age, didn't have to. If you're thinking about a New, Renovation, or Repairs to your Pool / Pool Deck / Patio / Lani We highly recommend J & J Pools, there is nobody out there that can do what he did!

Joe asked if I wanted to drain the Pool or to have him do the repair under water. I opted to have the pool drained. Joe put two pumps into the pool to drain it and as soon as it was drained he did the repair work and started to re-fill the pool. The work he did was skilled and perfect. I would have him back in a heart beat and feel privileged to have had him do the work.
Description of Work: The pool lining had a hole in it about the size of a football. Joe took a look at it and offered to patch it for me. Another company had told me it couldn't be patched and they needed big money for a new pool lining surface and their contract had so many caveats in it that I could not understand anybody going for them. Not so Joe. He is an absolute pleasure to work with. I recommend him unreservedly.

When we first called Joe he answered his own phone.It sound like a small thing but it isn't! He was easy to reach and that is rare! We set an appointment and he came over to look at the pool and deck and give us an estimate. He was professional, very knowledgeable, and his price was very fair. We had a tile dolphin in the center on the pool floor that all the other pool companies said could not be saved with this type of repair, but Joe saved it!!! He offered some different idea, but he was never pushy, and he really helped us decide how to move forward. He worked hard to accommodate our schedule, as we live elsewhere. He started and finished the job on time - no delays and no surprises. He was always at the job site. His employees are very hard workers. They were careful and clearly knew their jobs well. The pool and the deck look GREAT - in fact they look just like new.
Description of Work: For pool: Drain pool, check for delamination, undercut waterline tiles, fittings and lights, acid wash and bond coat surface, repair connection and replace pool light, plaster pool interior, acid wash, fill pool. For pool deck: Pressure wash deck, fill cracks, Apply 2 coats of H2O Color sealer (2nd coat with non-skid additive)

Joe made our rental house pool and lanai area look like new! Then, our home pool project turned out well beyond our expectations. Joe made suggestions as to the tile we ultimately used, and he also made recommendations for the pool resurfacing itself. All his ideas turned out really well. We've had many, many compliments on his work. We went with glass tile in a subway tile pattern. Joe is the hardest working individual we've run across in a long time. We had a deadline (party and out-of-town guests), and he moved heaven and earth to meet it. We can't say enough about Joe and his no-nonsense approach. He listens, and is willing to do what you want, but if you ask for suggestions, he will make them. He is punctual to a fault, and kept the work area clean during the ongoing process.
Description of Work: First, J & J drained and acid washed our rental house pool. He also redid the lanai concrete, repairing cracks where needed. Then for the big project: he resurfaced and re-tiled our home pool.

We called several pool repair companies from Angie's List. They were all very nice and knowledgeable, but we liked Joe's down to earth, realistic approach to our blistering 20 year old fiberglass pool. He was familiar with similar pools at the beach and knew what he could and couldn't promise. His prices were comparable to the other companies for what he was offering to do. He absolutely fulfilled all our wishes by getting rid of the black spots and making it the inviting sparkling pool it used to be. Joe was careful about waiting until the water table had gone down so that it was safe to drain the pool. Once that was done, he was diligent in getting the work done as quickly as possible. He worked long and hard. It was not a pleasant or easy task. When we had questions, we could call him and he responded promptly. Joe was a pleasure to work with. I recommend him highly!
Description of Work: Filled cracks in the cement decking and applied two coats of color sealer in June. Returned in October to refinish the pool. Removed the contaminated spots, patched the holes. Hand sanded the pool surface. Applied get coat to the pool interior. Also added non skid surfaces to the steps and bench. Returned again to give the deck an extra coat of color. Power washed everything.

We were in need of getting our pool resurfaced. We called several companies to come out to give us estimates. A few were through local contacts and J&J Pools after reading various reviews on Angies List . I have to say the reviews I read were right on. I contacted Joe on very short notice to stop by to give us an estimate as we live up north and were only down for a few days. He said he would be over at 7pm and he was there at 7 pm. he gave us some different ideas on what would be best to do. he said it was a simple resurface. We got other estimates from the other companies that actually showed up. ( 2 never made it over at all,1 kept wanting to reschedule and 1 would not be able to start for over a month. This was just for an estimate. Our feeling was if you can't make over for a estimate we're surely not going to use you for a repair. Once we got back up north and thought of who we were going to go with we decided to go with J&J. I had a set time we were coming back down and Joe was able to fit us in to that time even though he had a big job he was starting.He told me what day he would start, he started on that day and 3 days later he was filling the pool on the day I had to leave to go back up north. I don't think any other contractor would have made those arrangements to adjust to my schedule like Joe did One more thing, the place was spotless when he was done. We would recommend Joe and J&J Pools for any pool resurfacing. We are also in the process of having Joe do some other work on our Lanai.

We are a condo association located in Whiskey Creek, Fort Myers. We hired J and J Pools to completely redo our pool. They drained the pool on the day that was specified and inserted pumps to keep the ground water from damaging the pool from underground water pressure. They replaced the tile around the edges and the steps. Made sure there were no problem areas with the integrity of the pool. The water gates and drains were inspected and replaced where necessary. Joe located a major clog in our drain/pumping system, which appears to be from when the pool was installed in 1980, and he cleared the obstructions. This was not part of the deal, but he acted and performed like a professional and took care of it. Over and above the call of duty. The laminate was installed and the pool was filled. It looks beautiful. No problems. No hassle. He came when he was supposed to and did us a good service. You bet we will use him again.

We have a 22 year old pool which was in need of resurfacing. I tried contacting several pool restoration businesses but was directed to voicemail or email, where I left messages requesting an estimate for the job. Joe Polewski, owner of J & J Pools answered his phone when I called and since he was working in my area agreed to stop in at the end of that day to give us an estimate, which he provided during that visit. When we did not hear back from any of the other businesses we contacted Joe and told him the job was his. He laid out his plan for us and hit every single deadline, from draining the pool to prepping the surface to having a crew on site to apply the new surface. The process took 3 days from beginning to end and we are delighted with the results. It looks like a brand new pool. Joe and his crew were prompt, non disruptive, and highly skilled. The worked quickly and efficiently and when the job was completed Joe himself power washed the surrounding area of the lanai, as well as the screens, and left the place spotless. We highly recommend J & J Pools. I should also note that by the time some of the other businesses even bothered to return our calls, Joe and his crew had already completed the job.

I do want to say he showed up the next day to give me an estimate. He spent adequate time with me so I could tell him exactly what I wanted done. He gave me a verbal estimate right then, but did e-mail me a written estimate the next day. It was detailed and explained what would be done. I called him a couple of days later to ask some questions that I hadn't thought of while he was here. He was nice and answered all my questions. I was pleased with the estimate process and I did check his business out with the county to verify his license and checked with the Better Business Bureau and everything checked out.
Description of Work: I ended up going with another company.

Went excellent. Joe the owner was on the job and doing the job with his crew. No sub contractors. They said they would be there at 8 and they were. They were very efficient, cleaned up each day after they were through. Job took 4 days and in between rain. We are so happy with the job. Joe was referred to us from Matt, the owner of the Pinch a Penny Store as 1242 Pine Island Rd. in the Cape. This is the second referral he has given us and we trust his judgment. We are happy to refer Joe and his crew to our neighbors.

Response from J & J Pools Inc
Dear Ms. (member name removed), Sadly I just recently became a member of Angies List and I just read the post in regards to your pool and deck work. I am truly sorry that this occurred. I am Joe one of the owners and I do not recall speaking to you about this work nor do I have anything in my records with your contact information. You may have spoke to my partner Jim who generally deals with new construction and perhaps there was a mix up with the communication. I can assure you that it was not intentional, neither Jim or myself would ever turn away work and I am truly sorry for the mix up. We take pride in our work and our practice to contact and follow through with any potential jobs. I am sure by now you have already gotten the work completed but if for some reason you did not please give us a call. My number is 239-565-5350. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. Sincerely, Joe Polewski

Joe was referred to me by PENNYPINCHERS -- I was in the store looking for a source to replace damaged pool coping, as other companies wouldn't even call me back. Joe came to give me my estimate that same afternoon and fit my repair in that week. This was a small repair job, but he treated my home with respect, maintaining a clean work area and a professionally completed project. My wife commented after watching Joe complete the grout to finish the project that he "obviously loved his job." I recommend Joe for pool repair work and we plan on using his services again when we resurface the pool.

Had a leaking pool that we were trying to replace the tile around the top. The fiberglass liner started to pull away from the concrete and had to be replaced. I removed the fiberglass liner, it just pulled away easily, and helped with the surface prep. J&J came over when called and gave me the best bid to install the tiles and the new aggragate liner. He asked if he could work the weekend and had it done early that Sunday afternoon. We were very satisfied with the work and the pool looks GREAT!

We are extremely happy with our beautiful new pool! Joe was great! He came out for estimates, and even took us to some other properties where they had done similar work...so we would could see what our pool may look like based on what we were trying to do. We picked everything out on Saturday...surface, tile, etc, and they were working on Tuesday(Monday was labor day). 5 days later we had a new pool and deck, and it looks great! They even came back by to check on the pool Monday and put our furniture back on the lanai while we were at work. Great Job!! I would definately recommend them to anyone.
Description of Work: We wanted our pool and deck redone. Our pool was installed in the 80's and needed to be brought into the 21st century. We need the pool resurfaced, and our decking resurfaced.
