I called the Reisterstown store to ask for help and the guy just laughed like it was a big joke. I spent over $7000 to be told, "we can't help you. Call the service department on Monday." When our pool and deck were installed 21 years ago by them, I added a side deck myself and the woman actually wanted to bill us because she thought they built it!!!! This company overcharges! Terrible company. Never use them again.

We did look at the return policy before we purchased the pool cover to make sure we could return it and there was nothing stating we could not return opened items. We didn't take the pool cover out of the box, we only opened one side to see if we liked the material and we didn't. Today on 9/10/24 my fiancé went to take it back & the employee would not allow the return because he said it was opened and didn't know if we tampered with the pool cover. I tried to call today 9/10/24 and they put me on hold for over 10 minutes so I did decide to hang up. Also while in the store on 9/09/24 we had to wait over 20 mins for an employee to come out of the back room to assist us. There were other customers that were waiting as well but they decided to leave because of how long it took. We will NEVER shop there again & if you do good luck.

I didn't want to write this, I took two days to give myself time to not be angry. I'm still angry…read more Here's the story (it's a little long so grab a beer or whatever your favorite sipping beverage is): On Friday, July 17th I went into Van Dorn's Kingsville location and spoke with Marty. I found him to be a very nice man. We spoke for about 10 minutes and he gave me a quote for two different above ground pools. He told me that since I walked in the store, vs calling or messaging online, I was eligible for a free site survey. He asked me if I'd like that and I told him for free..sure! He told me he'd have his site survey man, Charles, contact me. I thanked him for his time and left. On Monday, July 20, a man with a safety vest was walking all over my property. I went outside to find out who this person was....he was from Miss Utility. He informed me he was there because he was told I was purchasing a pool from Van Dorn pools and he had to check out where they were going to dig before they put the pool in. I informed him I was not buying a pool from Van Dorn pools and I asked him what made him think that I was. He told me "Dave" told Miss Utility was buying a pool from them. He grimaced and left, his time and Miss Utility's time, obviously wasted. I called the Kingsville office immediately and ended up giving Chris, their chemical analyst, an earful. I informed him that, in addition to dealing with this strangeness, I had a giant tree fall on my house a few weeks ago and I didn't have time for more stuff to deal with. After being told Marty was off and not back until Thursday. I then decided to locate the owner of the company, Chuck Stafford, this is a small family owned company. I called their Reisterstown store and spoke with Jim, a salesman like Marty. I told him the story and he was aghast. He said that something obviously went pretty wrong in Kingsville and he'd try to get a hold of Chuck. Jim from the Reisterstown store is interested in customer service. Its important to note at this point, I'm stunned at the audacity of the folks up in Kingsville to assume after a 10 minute conversation I was actually spending thousands of dollars with them. Again, stunned and laughing at the absurdity was where I was. A few minutes later, I got a phone call from Dave. Dave is Marty's manager in Kingsville. We didn't even exchange pleasantries, nor was Dave interested in what happened. I asked him if he'd like to know why I originally called and he indicated that he was not interested in why I called, he was only interested in knowing whether I wanted to do business with them or not. I told him no, I was not, he then hung up on me. I once again called Jim at the Reisterstown store who was either truly horrified or pretending to be horrified...I'd very much like to believe it's the former. He assured me he'd try and get a hold of the owner. It's been 3 days and no call from anyone at Van Dorn. I have read some wonderful things about this company and I really hope that I am an example of a chain of events that don't usually happen and went horribly wrong. I've told a number of people about this so far and we all find the situation obnoxiously laughable. Seriously, shame on you Van Dorn.

I do not recommend this company. They do not value your…read moretime, and the entire experience was a frustrating waste of mine. First, I was required to drive over an hour to their showroom for a completely unnecessary appointment--just to be shown pool options that could have easily been reviewed at home via email or a catalog. After that unproductive meeting, I was told someone needed to come out to evaluate my property. I rearranged my work schedule for this appointment, which was set between 7:30-8:30 AM. No one showed up. I received a voicemail at 8:30 saying he would now likely arrive between 10:30-11:30. That's a 3-4 hour delay with no prior notice. Since I had to be at work by 11, I called him back to say that wouldn't work. When I reached out to the owner to express my frustration, he was dismissive and rude, downplaying the situation by saying the rep was "just going to be a little late." A four-hour delay is not a minor inconvenience--especially after I changed my work schedule to accommodate them. This company clearly lacks professionalism and respect for clients' time. I would look elsewhere.

Their price was reasonable and considerably less than competing quotes we received. What I like most is the quality of their work, they constructed us a new pool and it looks absolutely beautiful, the decking and dark blue liner is absolutely stunning. I appreciate that they are a family owned business and did not subcontract at all, they used their own equipment and staff to construct our new pool. The owner is very generous and helpful, when we started from receiving a quote he provided us all the information we needed, when we proceeded and decided to use DoRite construction they provided us a plot plan and did all the permitting work for us. I hope my review was helpful and thank you DoRite construction!

Working with John during the initial design process was much easier than with other companies. He respected our budget, while simultaneously helping us envision an amazing outdoor experience for our family. Throughout the project, Scott was redibly helpful in keeping us on track, as well as making recommendations to improve the process, pool, patio, and landscape. All of the workers were professional and highly skilled. Ultimately, we ended up with a gorgeous outdoor space that we use every day. We will continue to use Woodfield for projects and highly recommend them for others in the area looking for high-end pools, and patios.

I really cannot understand all the 5-star reviews of this company. Maybe their pool service is…read morebetter than their spa repair? After reaching out to the company, Frank Memmo responded the same day. Off to a good start! Or so I thought... I informed him my control board got fried where it connects to the heater. I sent him pictures of the bad board showing the burn marks, the make/model of my spa, and the make/model of my control pack. We arranged a time the following week for him to come out to perform the $175 diagnostic visit. When Frank and his helper arrived at my house they inspected my spa pack and saw the same thing of which I sent pictures. I tried asking questions to see what my options were for replacement, but they were met with dismissive comments and rushed responses. Frank took a couple of pictures of the control pack, although they were the same ones I sent him, and assured me he would come up with an estimate within a few days. After less than 5 minutes, their $175 diagnostic visit was over. I hadn't heard anything for 12 days so I reached back out to Frank to see how my estimate was coming along. He indicated he had been exchanging emails with his distributor regarding the new control pack. Frank informed me the replacement pack needed a 4-wire system, but I had a 3-wire system. I wrote back showing him a picture of my 4-wires going into my current control pack, although he already had this picture twice before. He then sent over a quote which included a 4-wire pack, but a 4kw heater instead of a 5.5kw heater like I have on my current control pack. Although the 5.5kw heater pack is no longer available I would have had no idea until it was too late and already installed. If you intend to hire this company to do any kind of repair work make sure to do your own research! Buyer beware...
