They are thieves and liars. I put $2000 deposit to have a pool installed for 2023 season in October 2021. I was told by Mike that if I cancelled I could receive a store credit which I was ok with. February 2022 I needed to cancel. I asked for a store credit but was told they have a no refund policy. They never said that to me when I gave them my $2000. I cancelled in plenty of time that they did not lose any money. They stole my money and provided me with absolutely no service

Everything from the estimate preparation, liner selection, order, delivery and install went perfect!
Description of Work: After 16 years of use, I needed to replace my vinyl pool liner. I contacted 3 suppliers to get bids. American provided the lowest bid. But more importantly, they provided the best service. When we selected the liner, Mike estimated that the liner would take about 2 weeks to deliver and about a week to install. The liner arrived in less than two weeks and installation was completed about a week later. Very good communications throughout. installation was done by JL Pool and Spa Service (Jorge). Very professional installer, also very good communicator. Final product is excellent. Like having a new pool. Would highly recommend.

Terrible
Description of Work: Had 2 pool water tests done that were completely wrong. Purchased nearly $200 in chemicals that were all the wrong!! It totally ruined the pool water to a point if way too dangerous to go in. It seemed their purpose was to sell products not to actually test the water As a result of their carelessness we have emptied the pool of water but it wasn't until weeks of trying to correct the mess that the wrong tests created. I would suggest no one does business with Anerican Pool

I didn't know anything about pools or the process of putting in an in-ground pool but Mike at American pools was very helpful. He met with me and reviewed everything from A-Z about the install process to maintenance of the pool. As the process started, I had MANY questions and he always responded quickly via phone or e-mail. His install crew worked very hard and long hours to ensure the pool was installed correctly and on-time. His install crew was also very polite and knoweldgable as they answered many of my questions as well.All in all, I am very happy with the in-ground pool and the completed project. I've already had a few people ask me who did my pool. The entire process took about 5 weeks and my family and I are thrilled with the outcome! Thanks Mike!

We purchased a pool from them. We spoke with the son of the owner, and he knew exactly what he was talking about; very knowledgeable. But later on, on talking with the owner, about whether to cover up the pool or not, he flat-out shouted at me in front of the entire store; my 8 year old daughter was with me.

They were very knowledgeable, we are throwing questions out not knowing what we wanted to get in terms of different types of pools. They helped us to kinda make a decision they are willing to answer questions very well, all the staffs, it doesn't matter what age they are, they all very knowledgeable. I think that their prices are very competitive and I think they have best price around.

Selecting and ordering the liner was simple. I was in and out of the store in 20 minutes. In about a weeks time, my pool was measured and the liner factory started making the liner. I was contacted again by American Pools who let me know the approximate arrival date of the liner, and I was told that the installation crew would contact me to schedule the installation. A few weeks passed and the liner arrived at my home, but the installation crew had not called. I contacted American Pools to schedule the installation, and was told that the installation crew would call me. A week had passed and no one had called. I called again two more times over the next few days, and finally after 4 or 5 days, they called to set up the appointment. They explained that they had a very busy schedule and were not able to set up an appointment for me, but then they proceeded to tell me that they could come the following day to install the liner. They arrived the next day and got to work. When they removed the old liner they informed me that I needed new vermiculite under my liner, and that it would cost me almost as much as the quoted installation price. I understood completely why I needed the vermiculite, but this is something that American Pools should warn people about up front before they make a purchase. The liner plus installation was already a few thousand dollars, and then the vermiculite added alot more to that total. The installation crew worked long hours to get the job done, and did excellent work. Despite a few hiccups in the process, the overall experience was very good.
Description of Work: I purchased a new liner plus installation for my inground pool from American Pools.

Still trying to find an installer and pool is paid for and still sitting in the box at American waiting for us to pick up.
Description of Work: Purchased a 21' above ground pool which went off without a hitch. However, as the sale was closing, the vice president of the company gave us a list of pool installers. I have called two on this list and one had his wife return my call and said he would be out the same night to give us an estimate. He never showed and didn't call. The second guy came out right away, but what could've been a fifteen minute estimate (marking where pool will go and measuring turned out to be an hour and fifteen minute "conversation" with work being done in between. A third installer was NOT recommended by our electrician and by another co-worker who also bought a pool from American. We are having a h of a time finding someone to install our pool. Basically, their recommendations are awful.
