Initial plaster job developed a few rough spots. Pool was replastered following year. Job was completed promptly . Workers performed in courteous manner. Work area was cleaned up and all loose ends taken care of. Interaction with Aqua Pool very positive, easy to work with.
Description of Work: Replastered pool that had been plastered the previous year . Working with Mr. Terry Lonatro , owner, was pleasure. He kept in contact with me to ensure that any problem areas had been corrected. Mr. Lonatro was very attentive to concerns and very professional in the manner he conducted his business. I would recommend Aqua Pool Renovations, L.L.c. to anyone looking for a reputable pool service company.

Terry recommended a leak detection specialist who found the leak. Terry's first crew broke up cement , repaired the pvc leak and cemented the decking. They also replaced a cracked skimmer and cemented it back in the deck. The second worker replaced the old pool light with a new one. The following crew put a bonding coating so the new plaster would bond to it. The next crew tiled the entire pool with professional detail. The plastering crew worked like a well oiled machine with a bunch of guys who did an outstanding plastering job. The final gentleman installed the Polaris vac and Polaris pump. He also installed 3 high-grade skimmer valves near the pump. Terry is a very knowledgeable pool contractor who works with you within your budget. He is easy to contact and is always willing to assist you along the way. This is my second pool with Aqua Renovations and the are by far the very best.

Terry showed up on time with all of his credentials showing us he is licensed and insured and that made us feel comfortable. He explained the process to us and answered all of our questions. The replastering took only a few days to complete and was painless. We are very happy with the results and can't wait to use our pool this summer. We highly recommend Aqua Pool Renovations to anyone that is looking to get their pool replastered.

The price was very reasonable and the quality excellent. The owner, Terry Lonatro, was very quick to respond to my initial call and any subsequent questions. They started the refinishing work the next week and had it wrapped up in 2 days, not counting 2 days lost to weather. I have a small pool and the work was being done in the winter so things may have gone quicker than could always be expected. I would definitely use them again and recommend them to others.

Terry Lonato and crew of Aqual Pool Renovations are true professionals. Our pool was only four years old and had experienced settling due to soil conditions. Terry listened to our ideas and provided recommendations for a renovation solution that was cost effective and time efficient. He has many years of experience in this segment of the pool industry, and this experience was evident from the very beginning. His team completed the job quickly, on budget, and with a fit and finish worthy of a high-end resort. His solutions are budget friendly, but high quality and are designed to last. After a bad experience with the contractor who built the pool, Aqua Pool Renovations was a true breath of fresh air. They showed up when they said they would, worked full days to complete the job, and finished in a very short time with little disruption to the adjacent areas of the property. Their workmanship is outstanding and they returned for final detail work in a consistent and professional fashion. This is the way service is supposed to be! If you are considering a pool repair or renovation, you can count on Terry and his team for a professional outcome. Emile Breaux

The design and execution of the entire swimming pool build went exactly as planned and was completed BEFORE the agreed upon completion date. The design fits perfectly with the environment, and is now the centerpiece of the back yard which serves as an entertaining showpiece of our home. Aqua Pool Renovations did a fantastic job and I am very pleased with the finished project!

When looking for a pool renovation service provider, it is of utmost importance to find and hire a reputable, stable company capable of performing excellent work. We hired Aqua Pool. The owner (Terry Lonatro) has been in the pool renovation business, operating under the same company name, for a number of years and is a true pleasure to deal with. He is an expert in his field and a consummate professianal. Our complete satisfaction began with the estimate, completed by Terry himself. Rather than simply provide a cost estimate, Terry made recommendations relative to design, materials and value of options available. He assisted us in choosing the travertine, the plaster color and pool tile. Planning of the flow and phases of the work was excellent and the coordination amongst various crews was expertely handled. Every aspect of the project was completed on time and in budget. The crews were professional and knowledgeable and did their jobs well....The plasterers and the travertine tile crews were especially impressive. Most importantly, the communication and follow up from start to finish throughout the entire process was EXCELLENT. Terry responded to my every e-mail and question in a timely fashion and helped "educate" and keep us grounded in the details of the work being performed. Additionally, he visted us no less than three times and was more than willing to perform the minor "tweaks" (like resetting the travertine tiles removed during a new fence installation) that were needed after the job was completed. Terry is 100% committed to customer satisfaction. I would highly recommend Aqua Pool and Terry Lonatro to anyone considering undertaking pool removation projects big or small. Aqua Pool is undoubtedly the BEST pool renovation company in the New Orleans area.

When I first called Aqua Pool Renovations, Terry answered the phone and scheduled a time to come to my home in Baton Rouge to look at my job. Terry arrived exactly when we planned and he provided excellent advice and various options on how our job could be done. He left a tile catalog with an excellent selection of options for the tile part of our job. Terry's visit was followed by a professional quotation and separate contracts for the different options we discussed so that my wife and I could easily adjust the scope of the job to our liking. He also provided a local reference where we could check out his company's work. When we returned the contracts, we specified a date when we wanted to start work. We received sample tiles within 2-3 days to confirm they were exactly what we wanted and the crew showed up on the specified date to begin work. There was great focus on the job and it was completed in 2-3 days. On the last day, there was a surprise rain storm when the plaster was still wet causing the surface to be less than perfect. When Terry came a few days later for payment, he inspected the pool, was not satisfied himself, and had his crew come back out to drain the pool and make it perfect. This they did and they even replaced the pool chemicals we used on the first fill! The pool looks great and we couldn't be happier with the work.

Good communication throughout the process. The advice and quality of the work was great. We went with a darker plaster and the pool color is great. Love the new tile and deck with paving stones. There were a few issuess duing the process but these were resolved quickly to our satisfaction. Terry does great work.

Our pool was completed over the course of a month. Terry informed us of the schedule week by week and was quick to return our calls. He's very observant and was more than happy to give his opinions on what he thought would work for our backyard (in terms of colors and suggested landscaping). Overall, we are very happy with the work that was done on the pool and would recommend him to anyone looking to redo their pool.
Description of Work: While I was on maternity leave, it was my mission to get a quote on having our 70's style pool redone. I called a total of 3 different pool companies for quotes to replace our cool deck with Travertine, resurface pool, add polaris and convert from a chorine to salt water system. Of all the companies we called, Aqua Pool was the first to come out to survey the area and mail out a quote the same week. It took a week or two to get other Companies to come out and even longer to get the actual quotes. It was a no-brainer to go with Aqua Pool.

Response from Aqua Pool Renovations LLC
I have a record of you calling late Friday afternoon and Mid Day yesterday which is Monday. Yes you called twice in a two day period, but surely you recognize the fact that we are in the peak of our season. Your request on Friday was was sent to another contractor that specifically resurfaces deck surfaces and unfortunately that deck contractor did not follow up as he promised he would. I actually texted that contractor and sent him an email. That Deck contractor is also extremely busy and I suspect that he is having trouble fielding the volume of calls that come into his office. Most of the clientele that we have seen lately are telling us that we were the only pool contractor out of five that they called that actually returned their calls and came out to look actually at their pool.

After meeting with several pool contractors we chose Aqua Pool Renovations. We felt that Terry Lonatro was by far the most knowledgable and we felt confident that the job would be done right. Mr. Lonatro did not let us down! He was always available to answer questions or concerns. His employees were professional and the work was completed on schedule. I highly recommend this company. Mr. Lonatro was a pleasure to work with.

We sole bid Terry based upon the excellent reviews he had received in Angie's LIst. Terry came out within 2 days after we called to review our ideas. He provided us with samples of all materials, then quickly supplied us with detailed estimates. Terry was very patient with us when we had trouble deciding on colors of all materials.. He had to move other jobs around us due to our delay in making decisions. He stated several times that he wanted us to be very happy with the final product which we are.

He , very expeditously , supplied me with pricing and time frames of when job would be completed . I was very impressed with him and his honesty . The workers arrived on schedule and everything went according to plan . There was no overages on the bill , which was a pleasant surprise . Now we have a beautiful pool with a fantastic waterfall and gorgeous patio . I would highly recommend Aqua Pool renovations and want to thank them for my resort like backyard .
