Mad River Pool Construction

Mad River pools take pride in their work. It was a long wait as the company was busy, but Mike is an excellent communicator, so we were advised every step of the way. Learned a lot about pool building and crew was very professional.

Mad River transformed our backyard into an oasis. Not only did they take us step by step. They were honest and stood by their promise. Great communication by Mike. I have to say that his team are phenomenal!!! Jeff, Brian, Justin, John and Calvin were all very hard working and worked daily to get the job done by a certain date. Clean workmanship, clean vehicles, excellent teamwork. I’m going to miss them coming by the house! If your thinking of a pool….Mad River delivers EXCELLENCE!

We reached out to Mike and he was extremely responsive and the most impressive to me was his honesty and knowledge/experience. We described the look and purpose of the pool we were hoping to build (most contractors want you to go big), and Mike provided numerous concepts including the final version we went with. Even during COVID, he and his crew started and finished the project on time as proposed and agreed upon. Lastly once the project was finished, Mike has been awesome on training and supporting us on how to take care of the pool. The overall experience was as well as we could have expected, based on horror stories we have heard from friends' experiences.

In February 2020, Mad River Pool Construction completed a total remodel of our forty-three-year-old pool. The project included: complete re-plumbing, new surface with added spa, sun shelf, benches, steps, swim-out, LED lighting, cleaner, control automation, and 1,500 square foot Travertine decking. My wife and I have been in the construction trade for over forty years, and we are familiar with qualifying contractors. Not only by referring to online reviews, but also reaching out to many of the material and equipment suppliers for our project. As well as inquiring with representatives about said contractors’ qualifications and proper installation of their products. That being said, we had multiple sources to consult when it came to the remodel of our pool. When asked, almost every one of them named Mad River Pool Construction as one of their top-rated installers and preferred vendors (they pay their bills on time). After interviewing and obtaining estimates from numerous companies, it became abundantly clear to us that Mad River Pool Construction met all of our requirements and was the right contractor for the project. Mike and the crew of Mad River employees, promptly started our project on the date agreed upon and continued in a workman-like manner until it was completed. Mike and Jeff’s knowledge and supervision of our entire remodel was the leading contributors in our project being completed smoothly, in a timely manner, and on budget. We would highly recommend Mad River Pools for any project you have in mind. Mike, Jeff, and all the Mad River crew are true craftsman! Mike’s representatives were all extremely professional and a pleasure to work with throughout our project. After all was said and done, the only thing my wife and I could say was, “WOW!! THIS IS EVERYTHING WE WANTED AND MORE!!” Thank you, Mike, Jeff, and everyone involved!!

Wonderful experience with Mike and his entire team. They were like a well oiled machine and very efficient and professional. Mike went above and beyond afterwards with consulting us on other projects and we are forever grateful to him. Excellent business man, excellent crew.

Mike and team are true heroes! We began the process of building an in-ground pool in March, 2017. May, 2018 and our pool was a far cry from being completed. Our backyard looked like an abandoned lot, littered with garbage, overgrown weeds, etc. It was an eyesore that brought us a great deal of stress. The pool company we were working with; Florida Pools and More took a significant portion of our budget allocated for this project, left us with endless empty promises, horrible workmanship, unresponsiveness and a feeling of helplessness and hopelessness. After doing some research, I found Mad River Pools. Mike was professional and transparent from the very beginning. Although they were booked solid, upon hearing about our dilemma, Mike agreed to look at our project. He not only took on the project, but took it personally. He and his team epitomized professionalism and integrity. Mike was selfless in his efforts to help us get our dream backyard, and worked miracles to make our budget work. Mad River Pools is the only company I would ever consider doing any work on my home, and I would wholeheartedly recommend them to any family and friend. Mike stayed involved on every process, and often made daily trips to ensure any questions we had were answered. His team were always courteous to our neighbors and demonstrated the same unsurpassed attention to detail as Mike, and treated our project like it was their very own. Their commitment to outstanding workmanship and quality is unsurpassed, their relentless pursuit to perfection and superior customer satisfaction is unparalleled within the industry. If you are looking for a reputable pool company who upholds the highest levels of integrity and transparency, focused on delivering a quality product at an affordable price, you will never go wrong with Mad River Pools! I included before and after pics.

Mike did an excellent job on our new pool. He was great at communicating with us from the start to finish of the project and was always prompt to reply to any questions that we had. His team was very professional and always cleaned the work site after finishing each day. Large construction projects can have a lot of unexpected hiccups, but Mike did a very good job of estimating the timeline of the project and keeping everything on track despite weather delays or the unexpected. Our pool turned out beautiful and the quality of the project shows. We would recommend Mike and his crew to all of our family and friends and would absolutely work with him again.

I contacted Mike, owner, and scheduled a meeting for the end of October. During the meeting I selected the pool and features I wanted. I was told I’d have a price quote and lot plot within a few days. I waited 2 weeks before I contacted Mike. He said he would send me the quote soon. Fast forward 3 months, I have not received a quote for the pool installation, nor have I received an email or phone call with any explanation as to the delay. My advice is stay far away from this contractor. His loss, the money’s in the bank, but I wouldn’t hire this business even if I was offered the pool for free.

Very Good! From permit application to final inspection this was a 6 week project. Everything was done as expected and I was kept informed of each step. Mike, Jeff and crew are friendly , knowledgeable, and professional.

He is a man that can be trusted and stands by his word. Great customer service and would highly recommend his company and services .

Mad River Pool did an amazing job! Mike is very knowledgeable and helped pick the best pool for us! He and his crew were always professional and approachable with everything. Communication was stellar! We always knew when they would be here. Everyday the crew was here Mike was here for final checks. The Mad River Pool crew are experts in the Pool construction field! We wouldn't recommend anyone else! We are thankful to them for our water oasis!

Very well. We just didn't know we were responsible for repairing yard damage ourselves. Mike recommended a good company to help us out.

It went very well. The team was great with cleaning up before they went home for the night. I had actually called OTHER people out for some quotes on getting the pool done and they all "dismissed" me (no calls back, excuses of they lost the quote, to:" I sent it, didn't you get it?") never to hear from them again. I believe it was because I wasn't looking to spend $60k in a pool renovation, they felt I wasn't worth their time. Mike was the only one who got back to me. I was positive Mad River was worth the wait and I didn't want just anyone doing my pool after hearing stories of pool renovation nightmares. I would definitely use Mad River again.

The process went very well. Mike and his team were very professional and on time. They kept their work area as neat as possible. We love the finished product. I would definitely recommend Mad River Pools.

Everything went really well. Mike and his crew were very flexible and were a pleasure to work with. We took about a year before pulling the trigger on having the work done so we could also set up a patio addition to be done in concert with the pool installation. Mike was great and worked well with the construction company to make sure everything went as smoothly as possible. The only hiccup was when the Wet Edge finish failed on the pool. Mike came out right away and notified the manufacturer who went ahead and refinished the pool at their cost.

Working with Mike and his crew was absolutely amazing and painless. Mike was very thorough with all of the information and prices were all very upfront. I never had any surprises. I had a fiberglass pool installed and a very large amount of pavers installed. The end product is even more beautiful than I imagined. I highly recommend Mike with mad River pools. He is very talented at what he does.

We had a wonderful experience with Mad River pools from the initial meeting through the finishing phase. Mad River owner Mike Ramee was a pleasure to work with. He oversaw each stage of the project which went seamlessly. It was in three segments, pool with waterfall, a very large stone patio, and screened Florida room. Mike oversaw all of this and he was great to work with. The men who worked on the project were all professionals. They were here on time, finished on time and were trustworthy and skilled. They were the best crews ever! The whole project was reasonably priced. We love our pool and porch and if we had to do it again, believe me, we would call Mike and Mad River Pools!

Great,fast ,helpful, when pool started he finished fast as he could Micheal was the best

Mike Ramee was professional and knowledgeable about pool design and construction. His work is excellent and in the five years following our new pool construction, we have had absolutely no problems and continue to enjoy our pool.

Mike and his crew do excellent work. The experience and knowledge he and his crew have are becoming a lost trade. You will not be disappointed from start to finish with any work associated with Mad River Pools. Being in the trades for 25 plus years you know quality when you see it. Mad River pools is one of a handful of contractors in general that you will never have to worry about their knowledge and workmanship. They simply do it right the first time. Like most people that either know something about construction or don't know.He will assure you when talking to you if you know or he will walk you through every step of the way. They do as they say ! They SHOW up when they say ! The complete when they say ! I sound like a paid customer of Mad River Pools. My motives are as simple is this. The trade industry is becoming a lost art that many people don't have today or understand. I consider myself one of those people in a different trade other then what Mad River Pools does. When I can compliment a company that does this work I will acknowledge every time which is few and far between. The other reason is when your hard earned money is involved you should get the best workmanship and know your monies are spent well. Cocoa,Florida

Fantastic! Mike took time to explain all the pro's and con's of pool selection, features, placement, etc, as we are from the Northeast and have never owned much less installed a new pool. And 14 months later, we don't regret any decision. The pool equipment has never had an issue, the concrete remains uncracked, it's as if we just had it installed yesterday. Neighbors have had significant problems occur within the same timeframe; I firmly believe Mike's experience and expertise, as well as that of his long-time dedicated staff, made all the difference. He was also refreshingly honest and forthcoming on occasions when he really didn't have to be; more than once our installation was able to use simpler tools or less labor than in the original contract, and he immediately brought it to our attention and LOWERED the original estimates. We would never have known. He apparently cares more for his company name and his longterm business than overcharging on an individual sale. Highly, highly recommended.

Overall it was not as bad as I thought with it being such a overhaul of my back yard. The guys from Mad River Pools were great - during my project Hurricane Matthew hit and they took one whole day to clean up the two trees and fence panels that went down in my yard - and straight back to work on pool. Any issues and/or questions were taken care immediately. Mike Ramee, owner of Mad River Pools made himself available to me - so I didn't feel like I was out of the loop. I am so happy that I decided to have the pool built and that I found Mad River Pools during my search for a pool company. I am very please with my new back yard. Thank you Mad River Pools :)

Great. Very satisfied with work that was done by Mad River Pools. His staff are very knowledgeable and professional.

The Project went quite well. The team showed up when they were scheduled and if there was a delay we were kept informed. Every member of the team was professional and did excellent work.

Mike is an incredibly professional person who is not out to "sell" you. He listens to what you want, understands everyone wants to get the best quality for the money they will be paying, and ultimately wants you to be happy with the end product. In addition to Mike himself, Mike's team is not only amazing at what they do, but they are also some of the nicest, most friendly people I've ever met. I would seem disingenuous if I said everything was smooth as silk with absolutely no issues or concerns. I've told many people that a company's reputation should really be measured on how they do when obstacles are encountered as it truly speaks to the professionalism and abilities of the company. We had a few during this project and in each case MRP was able to find a solution that met our expectations. I would highly recommend using Mad River Pools for your upcoming pool project. You will not be disappointed.
