After several disappointing interactions with other local outdoor pool and patio installation…read morebusinesses, we were incredibly fortunate to come across Woodfield Outdoors. 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.

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.

We are repeat customers of Van Dorn, that didn't learn our lesson first time around. My review…read moremirrors many of the other negative reviews. Our radiant pool was partially installed last fall, they returned 2 weeks ago to complete the installation. We received a cheap tarp to cover the pool thru the winter (we were promised a pool cover then told that a cheap tarp was the "pool cover"). There was no "pool school" which was needed as this is our first pool. They men that finished the installation just dumped 2 bags of shock chemicals directly into the pool and said it would be clean in 24 hours-that's it!- and left. We were missing pool vacuum that was ordered and paid for and not delivered. Now had to hire a professional pool cleaning company. Basically once they've been paid their service is awful. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY!
