### Reviews

**★ — MaryAnn Ayala, June 2026**

> i pondered whether i should write another bad review. The first one i did, i received a call from them trying to fix the problem in exchange for my removing their negative rating so i graciously did. Continuing with the same leak issues, i've being given different info. It's as if their workers don't know what they are doing and just talk as if they do know. Long story short, they sent me an $8000 skimmer quote. I got another quote from another company which was 50% cheaper. Gary called to follow up & i told them i received a better price. When the lady asked if i would mind sending her the quote to look at to see if they could match their price because they did not want to lose me as a customer, I graciously did. I never heard back. How rude. As a courtesy, you'd think they would have at least called telling me they couldn't match right? wrong. it's rude for a company to ask to see another contractor quote. i complied when i should not have done but i did it to see how much they could reduce and I was greatly considering since i've done business with quite frequently even though their work does not hold up. I expected a call back but never received it. That's rude! Gary pools is only courteous when they want your business. If they don't get it, you don't exist. I get it, it's a business but if you ask me for something, at least have the courtesy to acknowledge you've received it and even more so, give a courtesy call to say thank the potential customer and don't ghost them like they've done many times when things go wrong. I'm forever done with Gary Pools.

**★★★★★ — eagleriver90, June 2024**

> Total experience with Gary Pools was awesome.  Andy got the ball rolling with an on time and professional estimate, including lower cost options, then with my down payment Matthew took over for fast and professional job management.  My pool was done in just over a week in the busiest season of pool time here!  Thanks so much, guys!!

**★★★★★ — HU-60717417, April 2024**

> I have an old pool that was need of some maintenance.  I had considerable staining and algae on the walls and floor of pool.  I called Gary Pools to have the pool acid washed.  Everyone I spoke with was extremely polite and professional.  Landon was the technician they sent out to do the job.  Landon was very professional, polite and personable.  He was very knowledgeable and provided great advice and did an outstanding job.

**★★★★★ — Andrea Wurzbach, April 2024**

> Gary Pools was very responsive to our request for service on our salt cell not working properly. JJ came out, got us up and running and answered all our questions!!  This is our second pool with them and the only company I recommend. Great company with great people.

**★★★★★ — Justin Hart, Dec. 2023**

> JJ and Justin were awesome! They completed the Pool School and took care of other pool equipment needs. JJ and Justin are the best! I’d give 10 stars if I could!
