Lee completed my pool maintenance 4 years ago. So, this is a testimony to how his project has held up. Fantastic. is the word. Lee was responsive, very communicative and honest. The surface has held up very well. I secured 3 quotes. One was from a larger firm and they were arrogant and insisted on expensive additional services claiming them to be code. I called them on it by actually getting the building codes on pools. The other firm was fair but I liked that Lee was involved himself in the project. The only issue was the side ladder. To do that they had to chip out the steps. They used a form to pour the new steps. After the pool was full I noticed the steps had little air bubble holes. So, make sure you inspect steps right when the mold is removed when a plaster coating might be a solution. Too late when the pool is full. But that is the only issue. He stripped and replaced the tiles which used to be falling off. I have had no problems with the new tiles. I might mention that Lee uses a higher quality and more attractive plaster. Other firms charged extra for that.

Lee and his team did a fantastic job! He was very responsive to our request for consultation and gave us an estimate on the spot. We had no idea how to get this repair done and really appreciated his insight as to the best way to proceed. His honest approach saved us a lot of money when he suggested we could repair our tiles rather than replace them. We received a few other estimates and his was the most reasonable - and the job matched his estimate exactly, with no hidden costs or fees. They showed up when they said they would, did what they promised, and left our yard clean. They even pressure-washed the pool deck, which just added to the great final product. The entirely project was a stress-free experience. Lee knows his stuff! We recommend them highly.
Description of Work: Our gunite pool was in desperate need of refinishing. The deck seal and tiles were also in bad shape.

All of the above went excellent with my pool looking better than ever. He has a good feel for what needs to be done and is honest in his suggestions. He and his staff are quite professional in their knowledge and work performance. The job was done on a timely basis, which was important to us because of the time of the year. Lee is very knowledgeable and we're very happy with the job done. He was a pleasure to do business with.
Description of Work: Our Gunite pool is 30 years old; but was totally refinished 10 years ago. For the last 3 years, We had tile breaking away. After several quotes, Lee came to evaluate our issues, made constructive suggestions and quoted a fair repair job to re-tile and replace coping with a cantilever decking.

Lee Makara dba Gunite Finish Supply I am so happy that I found this company. I got other estimates to plaster and repair problems I had with the pool. Others kept adding on $ for every little issue. I found Mr. Makara completely knowledgeable about every aspect of pool work. I felt complete confidence in all he had to say and that I could trust him. His price was the most reasonable and he did more than other companies would do. He is on the job himself. He had a great crew who got the job done in a few days. They were good at their job and polite and respectful. IT LOOKS GREAT AND NO MORE LEAKS! By the way, I chose a finish called Pearl Brite Blue which is so pretty and sparkly. If not for this company I might not have been able to do the pool at all. Again, the price was fair and it looks like a new pool! Thank you again Mr. Makara Ms. N. D'Amico
Description of Work: My pool was leaking and had a lot of cracks (18 years old) and various other leak issues. It was in need of replastering. It looks like a brand new pool.

Description of Work: Replaced tile, repaired steps, fixed cracks. Amazing service, they did more than asked and had suggestions for a better look. They had to bring in additional equipment but the fee did not increase. I would use them again. These are the only people to use for gunite repair.

No appointment was made and no return calls or email. Again it doesn't take long to make a call to say sorry we cannot assist you at this time.
Description of Work: We sent them an email on Sunday May 31st, Called them on June 2nd and Called again on June 3rd and have had no return calls.. even one to say sorry at this time we can't assist you. We will contact another servicing company. We wanted to have someone just come and evaluate our inground pool to see if it needed repair or should we just close it up and start over. We had no response from this company. Very disappointed. It doesn't take much time to return a call. Thank you, Margaret Griffin Poor.

Response from Gunite Finish Supply
Sorry that this consumer filed this review, I did go to her property and if she has any questions she can call me back. The only time I request that some goes to another company is if the request for work to be completed is not something we do as a company and this is the issue with this consumer, we do not install filters, and pumps on pools unless we are completing a full Gunite Pool Re-novation. We do not open and close pools or provide a service pool related repair. We are Gunite Pool Repair Only Company Installing pool Tile, Coping And Pool Plaster, dating back to the 1970s. I also was told on the site there was no one with a last name Griffin that lived there. At this time we are behind on many projects and are trying to get the pools under repair finished as soon as possible. I want to point out that I was not rude and only asked that perhaps she seek another company for we have so much on our plate now, and the services she wanted we do not do. Again I apolgize for the and misunderstanding that she feels.

Lee was very prompt in responding to my request. He came by a few days after calling to size up and provide a quote. His quote was very competitive and I'm glad I went with him. Gunite Supply came in and drained the pool, and then removed and replaced all of the tile around my pool. Alot of the tile had come off due to water expansion.Since the pool was drained, they also fixed some of the staining in the pool. They then topped off the water and winterized the pool. Overall, It looks great and has a 5 year warranty.

Lee and his team were great. They started the project last fall replacing the coping and the tile after which they winterized the pool and installed the cover. Lee told me that he would contact me in the spring when things warmed up. Sure enough in mid April they returned to prep the pool for plastering. The re-plastering job was completed a few days later. I could not be happier with the end result. Lee was very easy to work with and kept to his quoted price. Prompt professional service ata fair price. What more could you ask for?

It seemed like they have done a fairly good job. Originally, the job was supposed to be done around Memorial Day but we had four weeks of rain here in New England so they could not do the job until after that. But everything was finished and it looks great right now. We have checked about five companies and they had the best price. The quality of their work seems to be very good.
Description of Work: Gunite Finish Supply replaced the tile and the plaster in our pool and they just finished a week ago.

Lee and his team were extremely professional, prompt and completed excellent work. I purchased a foreclosure property with a gunite pool that haden't been tended to in at least 5 years (if not more). A lot of local pool companies either did not perform gunite services, or wouldn't take the time (or have the patience) to educate a first time pool owner that wanted to renovate the pool. Lee was extremely patient, brought plaster samples with him during the estimate, and provided a detailed summary of the job, how long it would take, and a written (and very fair) estimate. Lee's team cleaned out all the leaves (and whatever else) was settled in the pool from the past 5 years, acided washed, replastered, retiled, power washed my deck, provided and plumbed in a new pump and filter, and provided chemicals (and assistance on pool set up, chemical application, etc). I have 2 large dogs and Lee couldn't have been more accomodating with the fact that someone in my family needed to be home at all times while he was completing this work. Not only was his team professional and provided excellent quality work; they completed ahead of schedule and only 2 weeks after the project was started, I'm swimming in my amazing and beautiful "new" pool! I would highly recommend Lee and his team for anyone looking for excellent service with very fair pricing, and will absolutely use him again in the future!
