Building a pool and its
associated environment in your backyard is really a three pronged
adventure. In all three cases; choices, management and sub-contractors,
American Pools and Fountains could not have performed better.
What you build is all based on choices. From budgetary and existing house
and landscaping constraints to figuring out what you want and don't want
in a pool environment is an almost insurmountable layering of choices.
Every American Pools and Fountains employee listened, suggested and coached with equal
amounts of realism, excitement and functionality. It is a tribute to
American Pool's abilities that now that it's all completed there is not one thing
in the whole project I would change if I had it all to do over again.
To me, management of a project is a combination of always being there,
always being flexible and always overseeing every piece of the project to
ensure maximum results. American Pools and Fountains, from my 10:00 PM idea calls to my
thinking of a detail that they already thought of and completed yesterday
to their critical oversight of every step, proved to be superlative
managers. The epitome of their management was the fact that the entire
project was finished in 6 weeks regardless of the fact that one week was
lost to rain.
As we all know, the strongest chain is only as strong as its weakest link.
Plumbers, electricians, concreters, plasterers, deck builders,
landscapers, irrigators and more were each a link in the project. I am
relieved, excited and thankful that American Pools and Fountains used only the best
craftsmen who in turn handled each process in both a professional and
exemplary manner. Their combined efforts resulted in the absence of a weak
link and rather an argument of which group did the most expertise job, as
all were perfectionists.
In summary, American Pools and Fountains exceeded all my
expectations in every facet of the project and made the construction of a
resort in my backyard a wonderful adventure.

Now that our pool is in and
the job complete, we wanted to take the time and thank you for a job well
done.
Having dealt with builders and sub-contractors in the past, we can
honestly say there has not been a more pleasurable construction
experience. American Pools and Fountains has built us the pool we envisioned and did so
in a very professional and expedient manner. Your attention to detail made
our original pool plans become something special that we can truly call
our own.
Also, your handling of issues and follow-up items was done in a timely and
efficient manner. Your customer service should be commended.
Once again, we thank you for the service you provided. We wish you the
best of luck in the future.
Sincerely,
R.N.F.
A special thanks for
building us a beautiful pool.
We were very impressed with your professionalism, follow-up and attention
to detail.
We will recommend you to all our friends.
Sincerely,
K.A.P.
We appreciated so much doing
business with your company that l had intended writing a "thank you" note
a few months later. Sorry it has taken so long.
My wife and I have dealt with building contractors and pool contractors in
the past and were not looking forward to repeating the experience again.
However, we could not find the home we wanted and began the process all
over again. Selecting a builder was not easy, but I think we were
fortunate and got a good one.
Some friends in Solon told us horror stories about their experience with
builders and the tales were only worse when we began asking about pool
contractors.
However, we wanted a pool, and called two pool contractors and, I think,
intended to get three bids. We met with one of your competitors and got a
bid and what sounded like a memorized sales pitch. We visited with you
next and got no more bids.
You were all gentleman, articulate, and patient. Above all, American
Pools, provided some creative ideas concerning construction and explained
the process to us.
What a
pleasant surprise it was to meet with you and realize that you were all very professional,
and
answered questions, and explained what was going on.
Throughout the process, it was nothing but a good experience. And, we want
to say: Thank you to all of you at American Pools and Fountains.
Sincerely,
J.J.
I just wanted to send a note
of thanks to all of you at American Pools and Fountains. As you all know I had a pool
built by a National company at my previous address and was not pleased
with the results.
When I built my new house in 2001, the exterior-landscape and pool was
almost as important to me as my house plans. Your team did an excellent
job of listening to me, looking at various pictures, and coordinating
plans with my builder and landscape designer. You took the time to make my
dream pool and spa a reality. The quality of the workmanship has been
proven through these years.
A special thank you to the APF team. All pools and spas need
occasional service and your response time to my needs are outstanding. The
beauty of the pool would not have value without the ongoing support of
everyone to ensure the function of the pool and spa. Thanks for not only
building a great pool, but for being there whenever needed through the
past years.
Sincerely,
J.G. |
