The pool came out amazing! They were able to add a waterfall and I couldnt be happier with the finished product. They were also able to add masonry and it came out great. Steve (owner) was very responsive and there to answer all of my phone calls and accommodate my requests.

This fall, Dakota performed a gunite pool renovation for us. Throughout the 6 weeks from start to finish, they were honest, trustworthy, fair minded, fair priced, and just generally easy to work with. Their crews were professional, courteous, and punctual. Steve, the owner, was on site mostly in the beginning, but was always reachable by phone, and Julie in the office was a pleasure to work with. Every job of this size has some glitches, but together they smoothed over every bump in the road. Would certainly recommend and/or hire them again! From day one, our trust was not misplaced. Some work in the quote that turned out to be not needed was not charged to us, even though we wouldn't have known the difference. Just really top-notch, upstanding, good people from start to finish. Steve understands the importance of customer satisfaction and it shows. There were no hidden costs. They helped us pick out all the materials and colors. The various crews (mason, tile, gunite, etc), were hard-working, polite, and as neat as can be expected. Over the duration of the job, there were of course a few issues, and each was resolved to our satisfaction. Overall, it was a hugely positive experience. I can’t wait until next season when we get to enjoy the new pool!

I would be remiss if I didn't take time to say "thank you" to Dakota Pools for the excellent service provided in installing the above. We especially appreciate the personal involvement of their president, Steven Yonick, overseeing the project throughout the installation. Its every homeowners dream during construction for workers to provide high quality work, plus conduct themselves in a professional, respectful manner. We found their workers to be all that and more.

Description of Work: The person who took the call was very nice, took my information, gave me a rough price for a liner and said someone would call me about the other work I needed done. I could sense that they were not very eager to send someone over to see the pool or the job. A few day passed and the same women I spoke to first called me back and said they would not be able to do the work until the fall, they were much too busy. So for whatever reason, they did not want the job and reused the job. Whether it was too far to travel, or thought the job would not be big enough, I could not say. Very disappointed with their response.

Response from Dakota Pools
This prospective customer called and spoke with our Office Manager on Friday, April 17th about wanting a pool renovation and masonry work done before Memorial Day. Since we were in the height of our busy season, we were unable to guarantee that we could complete the scope of this project in time. Our Office Manager was told to let the customer know, so he could choose to wait for us, or go elsewhere with someone who might not be as busy. She called him back on Monday, April 20th, which was the next time she was in the office (since we are closed for the weekend), and apologized for us. She told him that if he couldn't find anyone else, to please call us back. We were upfront and honest with this caller and in return received a negative review. It is very unfair to poorly review us when this is our livelihood, and we never even set foot on his property! There are many companies around who would have promised him a completion date and taken his money, then not completed the work on time. He would be stuck with them because they have a signed contract and his money. We do not do business like that. We try to be as honest and fair as possible. Upfront. Period.

Excellent company! They were timely,smart,fair,flexible,competitive and honest. Of nine firms considered, they were the only ones who were able to provide a complete job (pool,electric and paving). They dealt with large 3'x3' concrete pavers. As an architect i am very particular, and they did everything right. The owner and staff were hard working and polite. I highly recommend this company!

It went great. They delivered on everything that was promised and were extra patient with some of our indecisiveness. We love our new backyard. I'm proud to say that our new yard is the envy of all our friends and neighbors.

Polite and very reasonably priced. We interviewed a few companies and are glad we went with Steve. They got all the permits we needed, helped us design exactly what we wanted and are always available whenever we need them. They started and finished when they said they would and we were able to enjoy our back yard and pool all summer. The pool exceeded our expectations and the stonework is gorgeous! We used them for the weekly cleaning service, and it's nice not having to do any of the work myself. They opened our pool this year and I can't wait to start using it.

Steven is very detailed and professional. Dacota pools did a good job replacing our pool liner. I was impresses with his expeditious response time regarding work. He returns phone calls and emails even of the days he does not work! Very polite and always willing to take the extra effort to assist and pleased customers. Also was a great price! Thank you, and I will recommend!
