Kevin was the best working on the design, layout and the various obstacles we encountered with fencing since we were on a raised patio. He was very responsive and patient with me as there were some changes along the way and some delays with inspectors, etc. Overall a very good, professional company and great to work with the owner Kevin and his wife Pauline. Highly recommend.

From start to finish , the project went better than expected. The Permitting Process, which was required from North Topsail Beach and CAMA. Our project started on time, and finished on time. I had 3 Different Pool Companies come in and give us a quote on the project. And they came in with the most reasonable price. But also they did not try to sell me something , that i didn't need. We are so Happy with our Salt Water Pool. And they are only a phone call away, when we have any questions. I would Highly recommend Ocean Blue Pool and Spas.

Ocean Blue Pools was fantastic from start to finish! They are honest, friendly, clean and professional. Ocean Blue spent a ton of time with us selecting our pool and making sure we were comfortable with the layout before installing. During install, they took care in laying mats over our grass before driving heavy equipment in the yard, moved any plants in the way (so they wouldnt be destroyed), relocated irrigation, and left the construction site tidy and as safe as possible before leaving everyday. They also spent time after install, teaching us how to take care of the pool, use the equipment, etc. Great folks! The outcome...our pool looks like it was built with our house...fits in perfectly. We have our own little oasis right in our backyard. Years later, we still love our Ocean Blue pool! Best improvement we made to our house!

Excellent!!! One of the best experiences that I have ever had. I was not in town during the installation and did not have anything to worry about with these guys. They showed up when they said they were going to, they cleaned up after themselves every day. I would highly recommend them to do anything and will for sure call them again in the future if I ever need anything else to be done that they do. A+++++

They took the time to do a site survey & come up with a simple solution as to how to remove the old hot tub and then install the new one. From the time all the equipment arrived until all were ready to depart was 1 hour, they did a great job. They also were very responsive to my questions after the hot tub was up and running and still great at providing advice 6 months after instillation.

We did deal with them and very horrible. They did a couple of different things for it went very expensive. We spent like a thousand dollars to get our hot tub working and it does not work. They cannot tell me as different things went wrong with our hot tub. We will buy and they will come to install it then the hot tub would work. The guy ripped off with the fences and all the water was leaking out. They actually fix them out.

Good Morning [member name removed]. Sorry to hear that you feel the service was not acceptable for your spa service. After researching your issues I see that we charged you a one time fee of $125.00 spa service fee for the service we completed in December 2013 and then when you called again in 01/2014 to have a circ pump ordered and replaced we did not charge you a service fee at that time as the time frame was close together. The other charges I see on your account is for 5 filters and chemicals which were purchased by you and that was approx 85% of your bill. If you need a copy of your receipts and a complete breakdown please let me know as I am happy to send these to you but from what I see we went to your location and completed two service calls and charged you for one. Again, I am happy to discuss any issues you may have, please call me any time.

The guy who came out did a great job. I do not remember how much he charged us for the service but it was a reasonable price. The electrical circuit works fine now. He said that he could fix it and he did. His price was fine and the quality of his work was excellent.

Ocean Blue installed our in-ground pool at a house under construction. We had several requirements for our pool installer. First, we needed someone who could be flexible and coordinate the installation with our homebuilder. Second, the pool was to be installed very close to the house foundation, so we needed someone who knew what they were doing and understood that it had to be done well. Lastly, we wanted a non-chlorine freshwater pool, and needed someone who was willing to explore filtration systems that were not their ?normal? install. This was a particularly difficult one, as we went to several pool builders to ask if they would be willing to do something a little different, and none of them would even discuss any options except chlorine or saltwater. But on all points, Ocean Blue went above and beyond. They had to keep revising the schedule for installation with the homebuilder, but made it work. They had to spend extra time planning due to the location near the house and a tight worksite, but the installation went smoothly. They also took time to find a supplier of a non-chlorine freshwater system, and after a few hiccups it has worked very well. They also put in beautiful waterline tile and pavers around the pool, even a brick planter area. We've talked to many people who felt their pool installation was a nightmare, and feel so lucky that we found Kevin and Pauline instead! We did run into a few issues after the initial install, part of which was due to lack of familiarity with the non-typical filter system, but that?s not unexpected for a job like this. While it took some time, Ocean Blue came through for us to rework a few items, even contact the filter manufacturer, and we still feel they went the extra mile for us!
