Have used S&R pools for many years and always happy with the quality, timeliness and pricing of their work. Kevin is an excellent owner who tells you straight on what services you do and do not need and always super responsive. I would highly recommend using S&R for all of your pool needs (build and service)!

From the day the pool was "complete" it had issues, a boot print from the company's workers imprinted in my Diamond Bright, a coping seal that looks like a 2yr old did it, ohh put in cracked coping, this pool is 3yrs old and every single piece of equipment installed by this company has failed and needed to be replaced. The owner Kevin was asked many times to come to look over the quality of his work but he refused.

Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc
This renovation project was completed and every aspect of the job the homeowner found a problem with. I inspected the job in person twice so to say I never saw it is a complete lie. They wanted the top area between the coping and tile grouted which we did. They wanted an area on the step addressed which we did. The one cracked coping must of happened after the winter which we would repair but the homeowner never finished paying for the job. . This is the first I am hearing about a boot print in the floor. All the equipment failed because this property is in the valley in Manville and has been flooded many times. We reached out to him numerous times with no response. We sued them for the balance and they came and paid a portion of the balance but never finished paying for the job. Another example of their is always 2 sides to a story.

Don't recommend. They did an OK job but upon closer inspection had multiple bad finishes. Owner is unresponsive and am following up multiple times to fix those bad finishing. No transparency in the process and owner was not pleasant to deal with. Look elsewhere.

We are sorry that your experiencing difficulties. Other than needing a liner tuck because of the liner coming out of the coping which is common in a new liner installation, what other issues are there? We have replied to all requests whether a phone call or email.

They fleeced up pretty good. Charged $1000.00 for job. 459 for filter( price online). Said it was for warranty when on line warranty automatically come with filter for free. We paid over $500 for labor. 2 men for 1.5 hours each. When questioned, Tony said he told us it was that much, but neither me nor my husband remember him quoting a price. He was defensive and wouldn't budge, since we already paid him. Who gets that's much for labor? $85 for a half hour. We were definitely fleeced. I'm thinking about reporting this to the Better Business Bureau.

The whole process, from the initial call to the installation was terrific. All done within 24 hours. Patty and Tony where terrific. What a great company to do business with. The two techs, Steve and Anthony, that did the install were personable and professional. They were there when they said they would be. They hauled away my old heater and had a new 400k btu unit installed in about an hour. Everything worked and was compatible with my remote system. This is a company you can rely on when you are in need of service.

Not very happy with S&R pool. They closed and opened my pool which was supposed to cover fixing if anything went wrong with the pipes, i.e. pipes freezing. After opening one of the skimmer lines did not work. They said I had to pay for investigating and fixing. Eventually I got them to come out to test the line, only if I would pay upfront. After testing they change their story, they said if it was because of freezing it would be covered, but because they put a spike in the ground for my pool cover, it must have broken the pipe, they even said their person did that, but since they do not have x-ray vision they are not responsible for fixing it. Now I have to find someone to pay and fix it. Terrible customer service, very unprofessional. I do not recommend hiring them for your pool. They will continue to say this is not their fault, but they are the pool company, they have the expertise. Now that I know what caused the issue, there would have been many ways to prevent this from happening. We just moved into the house about a year ago and hired them, they could have explained our options and provided ways not to damage our system. For example dig and see where the pipes are and mark it clearly for future dates. But instead they chose to just go ahead and put a spike through my line and then say I am responsible.

Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc
The client supplied us with his cover and stakes to install his cover at the pool closing. This style cover, which is a safety cover, is designed to be installed with anchors drilled into the concrete walk around the pool. This clients cover did have approximately 90% of the cover secured with the proper anchors. This cover was made incorrectly by another vendor so to compensate for the improper cover size and original improper installation the previous vendor decided to give the client rebar stakes to secure the remaining 10% of the cover. When installing the rebar stakes for the cover the underground pipes were punctured. After several discussions with this owner who consistently cursed and belittled our office staff and refused to listen and understand how the problem was caused we offered to pressure test his lines for free as a courtesy. This charge is a standard $270 which we did not bill for or collect any payment for. After proving to the client where the puncture was and how it was caused he still refused to understand and listen to the voice of reason. One more factor is that the correct depth for pool pipes for pool plumbing in NJ is below the frost line which is 36 inches. The pipes were much shallower than that because the stakes provided by the client were 18". The reason we are not responsible for this damage is very obvious. This client supplied us with the cover which was incorrectly manufactured and the rebar stakes. The pool plumbing pipes were not at the correct depth and our techs cannot see through the ground to see the depth or location of buried pipes

I’ve used S and R Pools of Manville for about three years and prior services were good. However, this year they simply did not meet prior expectations. I normally do not go out of my way to write reviews, unless I receive stellar service or horrible service. In this case Kevin the owner was completely defensive and tried pass my concerns back to me, the customer. For a business based on word of mouth in a highly competitive market for pool companies, I was shocked at the level of unprofessionalism and unwillingness to listen to a customer. Ironically I was getting ready to install a pool heater this year with S and R... needless to say, I’ll find someone else. By the way, do not confuse S and R Pools of Manville with storefront S and R Pools of Martinsville (a few miles away). The owner of that S and R is a fantastic person (fair and honest) and is well known to the community. I will continue to give him my business. UPDATE(08/14/2018): I gave S&R Pools another try and this time they really came through. We needed an emergency repair for one of our return lines and Kevin had his guys fix the problem immediately. Keep up the good work!

Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc
Our crew arrived to open the pool on the scheduled date. The cover was on the pool and when it was removed the water level was too low to start the filter system, (which is something we go over when we call to remind our clients of when we are coming to open the pool the steps needed to be able to open the pool properly) Our crew used an external portable vacuum system to do the initial vacuum. Most pools are not swimable after one vacuum service. Most pools take at the least a few vacs to be clean and usable. Our crew leaves behind detailed information about what was done and what needs to be done. That evening we received a very nasty and insulting phone call from Mr. Homeowner. We called him the next day and left a message explaining the water was not high enough and our tech used his portable vac system for the initial vacuum service. We took it upon ourselves to send our service manager to return to inspect the site and see what exactly was the issue. Our service manager took it upon himself to clean the pool again and confirmed everything was running correctly. After 3 messages to Mr Homeowner he decided to call us back. He voiced his issues. He claimed the pool water was at operating level and our guys never vacuumed the pool. When Kevin disagreed with him and explained that the water level was not high enough to start the system and there would be no reason why our tech would say the water level was not high enough, the homeowner's exact words were "Well if your going to take the words of your guys over the homeowner I don't have time for this". and he hung up. Important to note: We never had a chance to have any dialogue and let us explain our position. Also, why would our tech say the water was not high enough? Their is absolutely no benefit for our tech to claim this. It is more work for him, because he attempted to try to start the pool off the bottom drain. If the water level is correct , the system would start right up. . The Homeowner's wife was on site for a portion of the procedure and came out while the crew was there and can confirm the water level was not high enough and that the guys did vacuum the pool at the opening. I think it's unfortunate that the homeowner had to write a bad review instead of communicating and trying to work this out. I respectfully disagree with his version in this review of the days events, after speaking to my crew. For the reasons above, is why I felt the need to reply so quickly to this review.

Excellent. I needed a new base for the pool equipment which was not level. In addition, I wanted to have the pool completely renovated-new plaster/gunite. Went with Diamond Brite for the Aggregate Finish. The company works as a team led by the owner Kevin. The work was done on schedule. The company kept all moving along well. The communication was good-I was always able to reach someone whether it was Kevin or the office manager Elizabeth. The individuals working for S&R know their jobs and were able to provide helpful suggestions to improve all whether it was the equipment or the pool itself.

Have used S&R in the past for a liner replacement (that went perfect) but this year we had them provide an entire new cement pool deck and new pool lines as our old cement was starting to pit and was just in need of an upgrade. Kevin walked us completely through the quote and entire process. Work was started on time and the workers were very friendly and competent - they also took the time to explain what they were doing and why. There were some extra costs but they were potentially expected as the pool deck required more prep then anticipated which could not have been foreseen - Kevin explained that could occur and the additionaly cost was very reasonable. The entire project was done professionally and on schedule - i would not hesitate to use them again for any pool work and would quickly recommend them to friends, etc.

From concept to completion, our dreams were realized with Kevin and his crew building our in-ground pool according to our needs, wants, and budget! Staff, both on-site and office, were very professional and knowledgeable. Owner really listened to our ideas and ultimately came up with a design and plan that suited just what we were hoping for. Would recommend them to everyone who has been dreaming of in-ground pool and thinks it is out-of-reach. With S & R, the possibilities are endless!

[Member Information Removed] Unfortunately a girl in our office misinformed you. We called before the appointment and apologized for the mistake. Writing a review with F for professionalism and overall is ridiculous. I think it was pretty responsive and professional to call you and tell you this instead of just not showing. One reason why reviews sometimes don't work. Sorry we could not service your area.

S&R Pools was amazing!!!!!!!! From the minute I met the owner it just fell into place. The appointment was set by a very pleasant office staff person named Elizabeth. She was courteous, professional and very detailed. The survey of my pool went great. Everything was explained in detail and the quote arrived in less than 24 hours. The work began October 19,2015 and on October 19 my pool was filling again. It was incredible how fast it was done. The quality and attention to detail was amazing. Everything was performed like clockwork. It was like a well oiled machine was on my property. All the workers were polite, professional and everything was left tidy every night. My pool is like new!!!!!!!!

Like I said, I hired them to replace the vinyl liner in my pool. They do not save the water. I knew this and dealt with it however I was not planning on filling my pool three times. My pool is 40,000 gallons. They had a difficult time setting the liner. There where many air bubbles and wrinkles in the liner. Those issues were not addressed before they cut in the returns and skimmers. They came back a few weeks later trying to fix the problem and the liner won't stretch because it's being held in place by the faceplates. The owner, Kevin constantly changed his story and has a difficult time being professional and truthful. As of today the liner has pulled out of the coping in three spots, and there are still bubbles and creases in the liner. These issues were present the last time somebody from the company came out to linspect it. Kevin insist that the job is complete. He is not interested in making the customer happy he just wants his money. I would not recommend S&R pool and Spa. They do shoddy work at best. I am very disappointed with the service and treatment I received.

We were hired by [Member Name Removed] to replace her liner in her 50 year old sylvan pool. The agreement was authorized and the work scheduled. The start date was delayed approx. 10 days due to [Member Name Removed] being out of town traveling. The liner was installed and it did have two significant wrinkles in the step well. Pools are not manufactured with step wells any longer due to the difficulty of the liner being cut by the manufacturer. After our tech installed the liner he felt they would pull out when the water filled which is a common occurrence. Once the pool was filled the wrinkles did not come out with the water pressure. We had to ultimately drain the pool and reset the liner. The pool was drained one time to correct the problem, not 3 times. We offered to close Mrs. Hillmans pool at no charge for her understanding and she declined. The liner is complete and is installed correctly. The only issue is that she has not completed her payments. As you can see from all our other reviews that our professionalism, promptness, communication and quality of work is what we are praised for. We correct any issues with our work and stand behind it.

After I contacted S&R, "Kevin" came out promptly, and on time!, to look at my pool. He is very nice, and knowledgeable, and proceeded to explain why I didn't need to resurface the entire pool. I was considering that and he didn't over sell it. I thought he was very objective and I appreciated that. He did recommend the granite top, which I would have never dreamed up, and the idea appealed to me. He gave me a decent price and I signed up. Next was to pick out tile and granite. S&R uses Bridgewater Marble and Granite. I found tiles right away that I liked on their website. They mailed samples of three different tiles to me, free of charge. However, I decided to go with a bluestone for the top instead of granite. Kevin said no problem. But it turns out there was a problem. We had to cancel the installation three times because the bluestone was not ready. Finally, after a month of waiting, Kevin informed me the cutter could not shape the bluestone in the curved shape we needed. He kept breaking the bluestone. Not S&R's fault - they're not the stone company! But it did cause delays. So I had to choose a granite and I did. But of course, I chose a premium granite and it cost an extra $350 from the original price. OK. It really was the perfect stone. One thing about doing this work is you have to drain the pool. I really didn't want to drain the pool during the summer. I was asking why I had to drain the entire pool when only one portion was being worked on. Kevin kept telling me it was the best way but he really couldn't explain it. Well, I tell you. Kevin was right! The demolition of the old tile and the cement needed to repair the wall made an incredible mess. If there was any water, any water at all in that pool, it could never have been cleaned up. But the delays and cancelled installation dates made for anxiety. My wife was actually ok with not draining the pool during the summer! You can't just drain a pool and leave it drained, water pressure in the ground would pop that pool right up out of the ground. It had to be drained 'just in time'. Kevin was very good at calling me to let me know to NOT drain the pool (which was not what I wanted to hear, actually). And when everything was finally ready, Kevin kept me informed. I would say it was very good communication with Kevin. So the day finally came, and I drained the pool the night before. The crew came out, right on time. They were very nice. They got right to work. And the work was good. It took just one day. They cleaned up all the mess and acid washed the pool. Everything was left neat and clean. The spa looks fabulous! I am very pleased with the result. It took two days to fill the pool from the garden hose. And that will cost me another $1,500 from the town for the water bill. But everything was just fine and just in time for my annual fall swim in the pool for my birthday! So I really ought to take points off my review for the delays but really, it wasn't S&R's fault. They communicated very well, I knew what was happening and why. So I can't really find exactly how to take away points. Stuff happens.
Description of Work: I have a pool with an attached spa, with a spillover into the pool. The spillover wall was in a bad state and the tile on the spillover wall was leeching, cracked, and some tiles missing. S&R pool repaired the spillover wall, re-tiled the spa water line, re tiled the spillover wall, and installed a granite top on the spillover.

Everything went great. We had a few issues with the light but Kevin worked out a solution. The workmen were great - they came on time and stayed until the each task was completed. I have already recommended Kevin and S&R Pool to my neighbours.
Description of Work: Kevin and his team performed the following services - installed Salt system, installed 2 new skimmers, installed new light, installed new Polaris, installed new tile and replastered the pool with Diamond brite. Kevin was always available to answer my questions and the work was finished in approx 10days. The refinished pool looked amazing.

At first everything seemed to work well. However, the next year the water was not pumping correctly. The pool was always a pea green and was difficult to clear no matter how many chemicals we used. They came out for a service call and informed us we needed a multi-port they charged $144.45 for that assessment. They came out a week and a half later and replaced the multi-port and charged $497 dollars. Needless to say, this did not fix the pea-green water. They came out a third time for a service call and charged another $144.45 to back wash the pool and created a temporary fix for one of the lines. He told me the temporary fix should get us through the season. I called them twice after to inform them that the pool was not fixed correctly and that the pool was still pea green after we spent a small l fortune on chemicals. This time they told me that I should have a chemical analysis of my pool water and that the pool being green was not his fault. I informed it it was because the pool infiltration system should be running correctly and that I paid him a lot of money last year for a new system. He then proceeded to tell me that this was not his fault and that I didn't know anything about pools. I then proceeded to inform him that we have not been able to use the pool all summer because he did not fix it correctly. He said he was tired of me blaming him and that again it was not his fault. He also told me never to call him again.
Description of Work: The provider installed a new Filtration System to include a new pump, cleared the lines, installed a new liner, replaced a skimmer for my in-ground pool.

Response from S&R Pool & Spa Inc
We did perform all the work [member name removed] explained correctly and we are paid in full because all the work we were contracted to perform was completed correctly. Her pool is over 30 years old and needed multiple repairs. The client feels we should be responsible for other items we were not contracted for like her water chemistry and not invoice her for it. She was told on several occasions to balance the water chemistry and she did not. If she would of followed our advise and balanced her pool water chemistry her pool would be clear and she would be swimming. After ignoring our advice and a few verbally abusive phone calls from [member name removed] threatening to sue us and write reviews like this one we can no longer help her. The best filtration system in the world will not make water that is chemically unbalanced clear. We spent several phone calls explaining the importance of water chemistry but if a client refuses to follow our advise, please don't write reviews like this one. That is not fair.

Had S&R pools install a salt system on my existing in ground pool. First system installed was too small and they had to come back out and install the correct one. This year after opening pool the salt system does not work. After two weeks of phone calls I a still waiting for a service call appointment. I was told during my last attempt to schedule a call that I was free to contact any authorized dealer to have repair made. I said that since they installed the system that I wanted them to fix it. I was then told it could be a week before they even think about the repair call. Disappointing service after an expensive install. Beware.

We installed this system for the client in 2012 and the cell was too small. It was replaced the next day and the system worked perfectly. Two years later, this season the client called in May which we could not get to service him for a week. The client was not happy with this time frame and he was simply instructed that if this time frame was not acceptable other companies can warranty the unit. He expressed his dissatisfaction with our response and told us he would wait for us. We serviced the unit which all parts were covered under the warranty so to rate our service a D is unfair. We serviced the client the best we could considering it was May in the pool industry and gave him other options to satisfy his issue which would of cost him no more than it did with us. He chose to wait for our service which was performed and the unit is working perfectly.

It went very well. It was excellent. They were very helpful and incredibly attentive. They listened every step of the way and they worked with us. They were not pushy at all. Kevin, the owner, was incredibly patient. He was very diplomatic. He brought all the information to the table and showed us step by step what we could do. He even gave us other options and he was very helpful in sourcing things that were hard to find. It was very, very well done. Overall they were fantastic. They did the pool 2 years ago but we see them every year because the warranty exists as long as they are working on the pool. Their prices are fair. We will absolutely continue to use them.
Description of Work: We used S&R Pool & Spa to install a very customized pool. They were here last week to open our pool. We also bought additional salt and a few other things when they were last here.
