They are always professional and attentive to our's and the homeowner's requests. When an issue or question requires attention they are prompt to offer remedies and answers. They are not the least expensive however as a homebuilder I have notice they never shy away from my requests to attend to job site matters. I would recommend you interview Claffey when considering a pool for your home. **★★★★★ — ASP - America's Swimming Pool Company of Dallas, Feb. 2018** > Claffey Pools is known throughout DFW for their quality construction of new pools. Their commitment to quality work is apparent. We are proud to partner with them and provide professional service and maintenance agreements to ensure the longevity of the customer's investment in a new pool. **★★★★★ — David Jarrett, Nov. 2017** > What a wonderful experience to work with Lori, Steve, and Woodrow in building our pool. From the design thru the construction stage to the pool school we were blessed. Communication is always key in any type of project and Claffey did a great job at that. At all stages we were well informed and communicated ahead of time. They adhered to our time frame and kept us in budget. We chose Claffey because of their professionalism, knowledge, and quality of pools. We are very excited to have our pool completed as you guys went over and beyond to put a smile on our faces. We highly recommend and endorse Claffey Pools if anyone is contemplating building a pool. They are indeed the \#1 pool company in our book. We experienced great attitudes, truthfulness, and willingness to help us design and build a pool that would fit our needs. BTW, this is our 2nd Claffey Pool....we are customers for life. Thank you Claffey family...you guys are the Best! **★★★★★ — Andrea Gaszak, Nov. 2017** > We have built two pools with Claffey and they have been excellent to work with. Our second project was a very complex job with uneven ground, correcting drainage issues and building retaining walls and additional outdoor seating areas. Claffey went above and beyond in making sure it was designed and executed correctly. Their subcontractors showed up on time and stayed late. Our neighbors even complimented us on how Claffey kept everything so tidy during such a huge project. Claffey has one of the best reputations in our area, and they live up to their name. They are not known to be the cheapest, but they certainly are not the most expensive as we did price out competitors. I feel our money was very well spent in choosing them. They know what they are doing and do it very well. We have referred friends to them and would not hesitate in using them again. **★★★★★ — Richard Wendel, Nov. 2017** > Claffey Pools designed and built a beautiful pool for our backyard. It’s the perfect size and runs with very minimal work from me. It’s nice to enjoy. They even answer my questions promptly when I run into something I’m not sure about. > I highly recommend Claffey Pools for anyone interested in building a pool! **★★★★★ — Patricia Strickling, Sept. 2017** > We're have enjoyed our Claffey pool now for 5 months. We chose to wait to see how things went so we could honestly address all aspects of the process. Please let us begin with the design process. > > We were fortunate to work with Shelley Claffey, one of the principles of the company. Shelley and her entire team were extremely patient with us. They worked with us for six months to ensure we had the ideal plan. They patiently explained and repeated explanations as needed throughout the six months. They made numerous changes, suggestions for cost cutting measures and helped us to create the ideal plan. > > We had two different superintendents during pool construction, Pete followed by Ryan. Pete handled the first half and Ryan the second. Both gentlemen were extremely professional. They explained the process and what to expect regularly. They helped coordinate on site changes with the contractors, which is helpful as English is many of the contractors' second language. Be sure to verify the work done to your building plan each week. We found too little back fill soil was ordered. This was corrected by Pete. We were glad we verified against the plan. Ryan was exceptional teaching us and re-teaching us "pool school". > > Any and all maintenance issues(very few) have been fixed swiftly and satisfactorily. > > Recommendation - Contract with Claffey Pools. We received quotes from other "top 50 in the US" pool builders. No one compared to Claffey's professionalism and product. They will build your outdoor recreation area to perfection and can work with you to be within your budget. **★ — James Mynaugh, June 2017** > Claffey gave me the highest quote - and I went with them anyway as they had a reputation for quality work and service. BIG MISTAKE! My pool is three years old. The shell has cracked twice due to a structural design/construction error on their part. My pool has been offline for repairs 3-5 months every year as Claffey attempted to perform repairs. Warranty work appears to take a backseat to new construction as they never show up when expected. > > Today, my pool still leaks. Beware! I warned you!! **★★★★★ — Riverflow Pumps by Current Systems, March 2016** > Claffey Pools has a vision of making any plan designable and buildable for any customer. In an exciting move, they integrated the quality and innovation of Riverflow Pumps into the power of the extraordinary designs they were building. Claffey Pools has a long history of using Riverflow Pumps by Current Systems in its projects to give customers what they want. Once integrating our pumps into their designs the synergy earned instant recognition. Claffey Pools is a focused and visionary builder who seeks out the best quality equipment to give life to the designs they build. Claffey Pools is ever mindful of the lasting value of the work for their customers. A pool built with Claffey Pools combines the client’s dream with the proven performance of the best equipment on the market. **★★★★★ — mikeswitzer, Feb. 2016** > Claffey turned our vision into reality . Erin our designer guided us through the process as first time pool builders . The entire team was professional, transparent , and offered excellent ideas and solutions for maximizing our pool , spa and outdoor living area spaces . We are completely satisfied and know we chose the perfect pool builder for us . **★★★★★ — Roxanne Holt, Aug. 2015** > From the first meeting to the last, every employee of Claffey Pools was helpful, knowledgable and very professional. Our remodel finished on time even with a very rainy spring to deal with. Everyone who has ever remodeled something knows about unexpected issues or problems. The one we encountered with our pool, during the final phase, was handled quickly, efficiently and cost effectively. Our project manager was in contact with us daily for every step of the process either by phone or on site. > During each phase, the employees kept the area tidy and cleaned up at the end of each day. We would highly recommend Claffey Pools. **★★★★★ — Belmont LLC, Aug. 2015** > I have used Claffey Pools 3 times...each and every time is with the same outstanding performance on their behalf! Organized, efficient, quality, design, professional...top notch in all categories. Wouldn't trust another company to build be a pool other than Claffey Pools. **★★★★★ — mjones7722, Aug. 2015** > My pool needed to be remodeled and fortunately I called Claffey Pools to get the job done. We started our project the first day of historic spring rains and even though we were understandably delayed, there was regular communication with my project manager and they took advantage of the few dry days to get my project completed. We have a family party every 4th of July and Claffey had crews early and late every day to make sure we were celebrating "pool side". The party was great and pool looks fantastic. I HIGHLY recommend Claffey pools. ## Selected projects - [Azure Dreams](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/azure-dreams-pj-vj~2086683) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 6 - Description: This combo volleyball and diving pool features interesting shape while looking classic and providing room to play and relax. The large glass tiled spa was the focal point of the pool as a stunning view from the front door of the home. There is a custom 360 degree spillway from the spa to step pads in the pool to access the decking. The custom arbor on the backside of the pool was built with matching stone columns and has a rainfall into the water of the pool where there is a bench to sit on.

The customer also had concerns with safety for their children and other children visiting their home yet did not want a pool cover to detract from the aesthetics of the project. To accomplish their desires, we kept with a large rectangular pool with… - [Secret Garden Straightline](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/secret-garden-straightline-pj-vj~1950809) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 14 - Description: This backyard faced one particular distinct challenge, space. Working together with the clients wants and needs and preferences, we discovered a way to incorporate features for the whole family to enjoy while also preserving the view out the living room windows and giving a nice focal point with a water feature wall and cozy spa spillover. Tight yards are not a problem with a little planning and the right vision. - [Intimate Creativity](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/intimate-creativity-pj-vj~2085569) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 4 - Description: You ever feel like a fish in a bowl? Two story homes on lots 4’ higher with small backyards created that looking down on this lot. The raised beam raised the holly tree high enough that along the back of property privacy was achieved for the fireplace, spa and patio areas. The arbor was added to provide shade and increase privacy on the patio and in the main living areas in the home. The patio areas were designed down to the furniture to be used in the space for comfort of use and maximum pool a… - [Polished Refinement](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/polished-refinement-pj-vj~2086660) - Location: Colleyville, TX - Photos: 5 - Description: This amazing negative edge pool was engineered to work with the dramatic grade change. The challenge in this yard was a narrow area to work in with overhead powerlines along a larger utility easement. The result is a unique straight shape with spa on one end and elevated firepit with extended spillway on the opposite end. Fire and waterbowls show beautifully at nighttime on the stone columns at the negative edge. There is also a large sunbench to sit loungers on to enjoy the sounds and views of… - [Wave on Wave](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wave-on-wave-pj-vj~2085654) - Location: Keller, TX - Photos: 4 - [Wow Factor](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/wow-factor-pj-vj~2085646) - Location: Bridgeport, TX - Photos: 3 - [Indulgent Transitions](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/indulgent-transitions-pj-vj~2085598) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 5 - [Traditional Statements](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/traditional-statements-pj-vj~2085542) - Location: Westlake, TX - Photos: 7 - [Ambience Delivered](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/ambience-delivered-pj-vj~2085610) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 7 - [Extraordinary Elevations](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/extraordinary-elevations-pj-vj~2085525) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 5 - [Upscale Aesthetics](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/upscale-aesthetics-pj-vj~2084698) - Location: Flower Mound, TX - Photos: 9 - Description: The French styled home demanded a simple clean pool with a vanishing edge to help transition to the wooded cuff side. Fire bowls framed the 50’ long slate vanishing edge wall. Then how to make a drainage swale for the sub division look nice, make a stream and pond with a 10’ tall water wheel and bridge. The two story cabana provide great destination and hid the pool equipment on the first floor. - [Polished Minimalism](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/polished-minimalism-pj-vj~2085486) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 4 - [Spectacular Presentation](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/spectacular-presentation-pj-vj~2062561) - Location: Southlake, TX - Photos: 5 - [Fairytale Utopia](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/fairytale-utopia-pj-vj~2085439) - Location: Dallas, TX - Photos: 3 - Description: Step into this timeless backyard and view the uniquely designed pool and water features. A battered slate spillway was used along the entire portion of the raised beam to accentuate the grade change of the yard and provide a suttle sound.
