About us

Blue Horizons was founded in 1993 with a specific goal in mind. Being consumers ourselves, we always wanted to be convinced that there is a sense of confidence and security before entering into an agreement with any company. We felt the most effective way to accomplish this was to first implement a solid foundation. Integrity first and foremost should always be the most important part of any business foundation. In addition, striving to continually improve on customer communication, and a commitment to always insure a higher standard of a completed product. As a result, we are very grateful this has not only allowed Blue Horizons to excel and become a trusted name in the Central Florida community but, has also become one of the leaders in the swimming pool industry. Sincerely, Gary Larsen, President Marty Olson, Vice President and all the staff of Blue Horizons. Award winning.

I requested an online quote from numerous companies. I immediately felt comfortable with Marty Olsen of Blue Horizon. He was so knowledgeable of his job. He explained everything that would take place from beginning to end. Each crew that came in to do their part of the job were so nice and professional. Each would answer and explain any questions that I may have had. They went above and beyond their duty and I am extremely pleased with the results. My pool and deck look beautiful! I would definitely call on them for other projects and I would definitely recommend to anyone.
Description of Work: I had my pool resurfaced and pavers installed in my back yard.

We needed our 15 year old pool resurfaced and I knew enough to put everything "in writing". I drew up a short list of everything I wanted done, pool resurfaced, handrail installed, monthly service charge to maintain the pool coating warranty. I contacted a number of "A" rated pool Contractors on "Angie's List", for an estimate. One Contractor claimed he couldn't remove the existing perimeter tile grout without chipping or breaking the tiles; but couldn't offer any alternate to replacing the tiles at a 50% increase in the contract cost. He further claimed that the coating additive recommended by the coating supplier to improve the durability as determined from field testing, "wasn't necessary"! No response to any details on the "special handrail", and their pool service details were "on their website". The "details" were NOT available in a user friendly format, in much detail. Another Contractor knew very little about the coating they were proposing, and nothing about the handrail or that a special type of stainless steel is preferred for salt pools. Another Contractor simply sent back a postcard describing their services! So it went, that is until I contacted Blue Horizons Pool and Spas, Inc. The salesman, Marty Olsen, covered all the items on my written list in detail, answered all of my questions, and quoted the best price! On day one, the pool preparation Technician. Markus, arrived, and we went over the contract, and off he went. That man's work ethic has to be seen to be believed! All of the tile grout was removed and replaced without any chipped or broken tiles. On day two, the Plaster Crew arrived, and their work ethic was equally impressive. I wished I had saved a lot of my time earlier by just contacting and dealing with Blue Horizon.
Description of Work: Blue Horizon performed the following: 1) Drained the pool 2) Removed and replaced the existing perimeter tile grout 3) Repaired the pool light 4) Replaced the existing defective salt cell with a spool piece 5) Applied a bond coat and resurfaced the pool 6) Installed a special handrail 7) Refilled the pool and provided initilal service 8) Always kept the work area clean and neat.

After pool was drained tech was able to start the cleaning, even in the rain. He worked until the rain increased such that it was washing the liquid chlorine before it could be useful. While discussing waiting out the rain there was a close lightning hit so he returned first thing the next day to finish the job. The next day after refilling the pool the tech was here punctually to prime and balance the fresh water.
Description of Work: Drain and chlorine wash pool surface to remove black algae. Suspected chlorine unit had blockage (low flow) however service tech showed a different way to add the tablets thus increasing the flow.

Owner Marty provided a proposal on site during first visit (other companies had to go back to the office and "work it up" - one taking over a week to get us the bid.) While their proposal wasn't the least expensive, Marty's professional demeanor and patience in explaining the process made our decision to select Blue Horizons easier. The project started on time and, in spite of a two day delay in the availability of the paver bricks, was completed on time as promised . As minor issues came up during the course of the work being performed, Marty was immediately responsive in taking steps to to resolve them to our satisfaction; never showing any annoyance at our "nagging". I would not hesitate to recommend Blue Horizons to anyone in the Central Florida area needing such work.

The entire process was impressive, from Marty's proposal to the final touches when Oscar replaced a torn screen. Marty suggested the combination of paver choice and design, pool tile, and pool surface and he is right--it looks good with the brick on my home and the tile on the interior floor leading to the pool. Each crew and individual was easy to have around and highly professional, from the emptying of the pool's water to the chemically balancing of the water added to the pool. This is my new standard for contractor's work quality and professionalism.

I don't really have time to relay the whole story... but everyone showed up on time, did the work well and completely, and gave me good advice; professional; and the only company that I called that didn't hesitate when I asked if they had "pop up insurance"... they were able to prove that without a problem. Other companies I called (3-4) hesitated or ignored me completely... or found another $600 worth of work I "needed". Glad we went with Blue Horizon.
Description of Work: Drain and clean our neglected pool; clean filter cartridges; minor fix on filter. All went smoothly, with a lot of discussion and advice along the way as I asked questions and as any issues came up. Thank you, thank you!

Absolutely incredible experience! Initially I was just getting a "green to clean" service and a new salt chlorinator system which had simply wore out after 10 years. Once I agreed to the quote, they came out and performed the services the very next day. In addition, I decided to add a color changing LED system and have my filter system replaced/repaired. I called a few times to add work to my order or ask for changes and they were very accommodating. Never missed a beat. Kevin was very professional and showed me exactly what I needed and tried to save me money along the way by reusing parts of my filter system if at all possible. Let me tell you, my pool has never looked so good. I am so happy with their service that I am going to hire them to maintain my pool full time. I also have them looking at install pavers at my pool and driveway. I hope their quote is competitive compared to the others I have received because I am sure they would do a great job. I will let you know.

We received a dispatch call first thing in the morning as promised letting us know the time Kevin would be arriving. Kevin arrived as promised. We talked over the details of the problems in length. Work was diagnosed and completed in a timely manor. It was excellent to hire a service provider that had professionalism from the office to the field. We will defiantly use this company on future pool service requirements.

I had 3 other quotes and they came in at the best price and with their solid reputation, I had no problem choosing them. They showed up on time, emptied the pool and finished the resurface job right on time then coming back over the next week or so to balance the chemicals. Everyone was extremely courteous and pleasant. 2 months later, the pool looks beautiful with no problems at all.

They did work for me on a bank-owned property with a severely green pool. They were punctual and their service and responsiveness were beyond compare. Only one little thing I wish they could've done better on. I had assumed they would do weekly maintainence after their initial work was complete, but -- after they were done with all initial work -- they said it was too far from Longwood to Kissimmee for weekly maintainence, which is true. I just wish they could have told me a bit sooner that they could only go as far as initial repairs. But I must say -- what they did do -- was excellent, and they got a little free technology training in the process.

The entire project went smoother than I expected. This was the second time we have used this company. They resurfaced the pool at our previous home and did an excellent job there as well.
Description of Work: Remodeled and refurbished pool. We had a most upsetting experience with two or our cats drowning in the pool. Marty came out and worked up a unique solution to make the pool safe for small animals. He constructed a ledge around the circumference of the pool a few inches below the waterline creating a "swim-out" for the cats if another fell in. The pool was resurfaced with Diamond Bright finish and new attractive tile was installed. He replaced a poorly functioning waterfall with deck jets providing a dramatic water feature to the pool. Work was done promptly and his people cleaned up every day before leaving.

Called on the weekend to have them come out. Got the voicemail, as they're only open M-F (at least the office is), but they called me back first thing Monday morning, and set up an appointment for the next day. The service person was on time, knowledgable, and professional, and helped me out beyond just the issue I had called about. I will definitely be calling them for anything pool related in the future.
Description of Work: Jets on the pool weren't working - service person came out and found the problem right away - the inner part of the filter was almost completely obstructed. He gave the filter an acid bath, instructed me on what the problem was and how to address it, fixed some other minor issues, and even set up my pool vacuum correctly for me and showed me how to get it to work better.

I gathered four estimates before deciding on Blue Horizon. Their professionalism, experience, and price made the decision fairly easy. Marty met with me, answered my questions clearly, and calculated the estimate. There was never any pushiness/drama.Once I'd decided to hire Blue Horizon, I described the tile and paver color/style I was looking for, and Marty brought over samples from which I was able to select exactly what I was looking for. The project started immediately. The crews cleaned up after themselves, not only at the end of the project, but also at the end of each day. The pavers were installed in two days. I was very impressed with the craftsmanship on this and on all aspects of the project. Overall, the process from start to finish went like clockwork. Everyone at Blue Horizons inspired confidence and made it all look effortless. The renovation is absolutely gorgeous-- I couldn't be happier!

We had a great experience with Blue Horizons from start to finish. The owner came out and gave a quote. He was very professional, knowledgeable, and he gave me a lot of references of their past customers. The job was scheduled and started on time. It was easy communicating with the company. They were very organized in getting the job done quickly. We didn't have any surprises. Everything was done as promised. They came back several times after the job was finished and checked the chemicals. They also helped me to install the new robot navigator. They cleaned up after themselves. I would definitely recommend this company.

We had Blue Horizon do the repair and rebuild on our pool, including replacing the deck. Then we decided to hire them to do weekly maintenance. They do a good job - although there are spots under the lip of the pool where algae has set up residence - it's hard to see and needs a good brushing, I think. The guys are wonderfully kind, and they do a very good job.

If you want your pool built, refinished, any repair work done, etc., call Blue Horizon. The work will be done right. Ask for Gary.
Description of Work: I contracted Blue Horizon to refinish my pool deck. It was in bad condition, several cracks, and the finish was worn down in places. They sandblasted the whole deck, cut out and recemented the largest crack, then put a new finish on top. I then got to pick out a color and they painted this on top. I have been pleased with the outcome. I chose Blue Horizon because they also redid my pool interior finish--a new Diamondbrite pool finish--a year earlier. The crews they send out always do excellent work and always are very courteous. I was hesitant about choosing a pool company to do the interior finish--we had always had bad luck with others before and some of the work was very inferior. However, Blue Horizon is the most professional pool company I have ever dealt with and would certainly choose them, and only them, to do any further work. They also do pool maintenance and pool repairs. So the last time I had a line clog I called them.
