Called Lila (very delightful and very professional) to set up visit for estimate. Bob (very professional) came out on a rainy day and assessed my needs. Purchased liner and skimmer and set up appointment. 4 gentlemen showed up 15 minutes early, and once they received my approval, proceeded to tackle job. They did an amazing job removing old liner, adding and leveled sand to base, and inserting new liner with padding in a very professional manner. They did not leave pool until the liner had settled to their satisfaction. They also removed roots, and one guy even sprayed Rustoleum in rust spots, at my request. They even offered to connect filter and heater but I declined. They hosed down my deck, and bagged up all scraps. Summary, I have no complaints. They provided outstanding service, and would absolutely use them again, and recommend them highly. 5***** all around.
Description of Work: I needed liner replacement.

My experience with Pool Doctor was beyond expectations. From the initial estimate, to the design process, followed by the installation, and completed with the pool tutorial, each and every step was well executed. PD went above and beyond to ensure satisfaction. Pool Doctor was competent, capable, and professional. There were logistical challenges due to the layout of the property but that didn't stop PD. The process is physically intensive and was even more so for this particular installation. Never did the team falter or complain. I admire the team even more knowing and witnessing the additional strenuous effort they undertook.
Description of Work: What other pool companies said was impossible Pool Doctor made possible. Other pool companies didn't spend more than 5 minutes when they came for the estimate. The immediate answer was that there was no way an inground pool could be installed in my backyard. Thankfully I didn't give up. When Rich from Pool Doctor arrived, I was so surprised to hear that I could have the inground pool I had always wanted! He spent the time to explore the possibilities for installing the pool in a yard that did not have accessibility from the street. It was Rich's vision and creativity that created the backyard of my dreams. He created the ideal pool to suit my needs. He was extremely patient and very considerate of the fact that I didn't know anything about pool selection and installation. Rich saw everything through from A to Z. He recommended a plumber and electrician that were familiar and knowledgable for the type of work that was required. He spent the time going over every detail. I felt very comfortable going to work every day and leaving the team behind knowing that Rich would be by each day to make sure everything was going to plan. So I wouldn't miss any little bit of what was going on, Rich would send me pictures so I could truly be part of the daily process. The installation process was flawless and the PD team left the yard immaculate. Upon completion of the pool, Rich was extremely thorough in teaching me how to treat and clean the pool. Rich didn't abandon me once the pool was installed. He continued to work with me and the company I selected for the deck on the design and style that would best feature the pool and yet allow for ample room for entertaining. He was with me through every step that was executed all the way up to the finished project. Rich is extremely dedicated to his customers and regardless of his busy schedule makes you feel like you're the only client he has. I now have my very own vacation paradise right in my own backyard!!! Thanks Rich and the Pool Doctor team!!!

During hurricane Sandy a tree fell toward the back of my house and landed on my fence and pool. During the latter part of July I was taking water off the pool cover and discovered a gash in the cover, I then emptied the pool and was looking around for someone to come and clean out the liner, I went to a pool company and they gave me one price, when I called to make the appointment they hacked up the price so I did not go with that company. I then went to the office of the pool doctor explained what I needed done, She told me that Bob would call and set a time when he would come to check out the pool. He came as promised, he looked over the pool and told me a price. The workers came as promised cleaned my liner, as the pool was filling up with water, the liner started to rip. I had to buy another liner, their workers came back out and installed the new liner, the workers were very professional and answered all my questions. I would use this company again.

I had a problem with another pool company and I contacted them. They came out and gave me good advice. They told me to drain the pool instead of trying to filter it because it was the worst of the worst. He stayed and helped me suck out all the dirty water. He got down into the pool with a big boom and pushed all the dirty water toward the pumps. He was very friendly and totally professional. He did everything he was supposed to do. He hooked up the filter and made sure it worked. Then when he came to close the pool, he was on time and closed the pool very well. In spite of the hurricane, the pool cover was not damaged.
Description of Work: I have used The Pool Doctor Contractors. They drained all the dirty water from my pool and closed it.

A nightmare from beginning to end. Everything that could have gone wrong went wrong. Bob (owner) is an OK guy and makes you feel like he'll do everything that he can to make things right but he's got the worst workers I have ever seen. Terrible! Now I have to live with this s*** job. Steer clear of this company!
