**★★★★★ — Michaelson's Designs, April 2015**

> A-1 Pools & Spas installed our in ground pool and above ground spa plus put in our beautiful decorative aluminum fence  in Oxford, CT.  They did a phenomenal job with it all and made it  like a resort, which we used and loved hosting pool parties at!   They were trustworthy in performing and doing what they promised and everything turned out wonderful!
>
> They also did our pool maintenance and opened and closed our pool every April in time for the kids to use it during spring break and in November after the snow started falling.  Go with A-1 because they know what they are doing and are wonderful to work with.
