I have a beautiful rectangle in-ground pool that I wanted to add some features and additions to. I walked into Carlton Pools and was immediately greeted by Mike, the sales associate and he sat down with me to go over the project. He was so nice and professional throughout the entire construction with my pool. I had a water fountain installed in the middle and a hot tub built into the side of it. The construction didn't take long and within a week's time it was finished. The construction guys were very friendly and respectful. Good team with a good work ethic. I love that I can avoid the tourists in the summertime with the pool and the new additions added to it. Carlton Pools provided me with everything I paid for and more. Very happy with their service. read more

I've been coming here for all my important pool needs for years. Pool supplies and equipment aren't cheap in general, but it helps to know that you're getting quality items at reasonable prices here. My reason for this review from my latest trip here is because of the outstanding customer service I received by an employee, perhaps the manager or owner, who's name I didn't get. I had a pool emergency that required a fairly inexpensive part for my pool filter. I knew they would have it here, so I headed out around 5:30PM on a week night. I neglected to check their hours of operation and got there to a locked door at 6:01 and a sign showing that they close at 6PM that day. As I cursed myself for not checking before hand, the door was unlocked and the man let me in to get what I needed. As a matter of fact, I told him what I needed and he very pleasantly went and got them for me. He could have pretended to not see me and wait for me to leave, but he didn't. I must have thanked him 3 or 4 times for his kindness and customer service, which he kept brushing off as no big deal. To me it was a big deal and I really appreciated the help that I felt was above and beyond. Still the best pool place I know! read more

My wife and I are pretty picky about who we get to do ANY contracting/landscaping work on our house. Usually, I do a lot of the work myself, but when it came to an in-ground pool it was out of the question. We wanted a swimming pool for years but couldn't find anyone in the area who seemed like they had the know-how. We wanted to work with someone who was experienced and trustworthy, but everywhere we tried something was missing. Either the customer service was off or the company couldn't do everything start-to-finish, plus maintenance, or it was just out of our price range. Luckily, my wife's friend recommended Carlton Pools. As soons as we called them we knew they'd be different. They have some of the friendliest, most helpful staff and answered all of our questions. We barely noticed the construction crew when they came in, and building the pool felt like no time at all. The craftsmanship is quality and sturdy--five years in, and it still looks beautiful. Now my wife has the beautiful in-ground pool of her dreams and we love having pool parties in our new backyard. If you need a pool, you won't do any better than this. read more

From the Business

Specialties

One of the most well-known and trusted names in residential and commercial pool construction, Carlton Pools, Inc. has been in business for the past 40 years and is family owned and operated. Carlton Pools creates an exquisite poolscape for the whole family, offering services such as custom in-ground concrete swimming pools, water features and waterfalls, maintenance from our factory-trained technicians, renovations, pool openings and closings, hardscaping and landscaping. We also have 7 Retail Stores and 5 Pool Parks to serve our valued customers. Carlton uses in-house, phase-specific crews on every job. What does that mean for homeowners? Our pool contractors are performing every facet of the swimming pool building process every day. Their experience and efficiency level when installing plumbing, steel, and concrete is unparalleled in the industry.

History

Established in 1973.

In this second generation of family ownership, Carlton Pools' contractors have provided custom in-ground swimming pools for thousands of families in PA and NJ since we opened our doors in 1973. A company builders whose inception began with only a few employees and a pickup truck now meets the tri-state area's swimming needs with its seven locations and an army of motivated professionals. These dedicated Carlton individuals are the key to this company's success.

Meet the Business Owner: Joseph S.

Have you asked yourself what brought you to our door? Is it those pesky little folks nagging for a swimming pool to quench the mounting summer heat? Perhaps it is the tedium of starting at your bare backyard, lacking in any landscaped existence? Or, quite possibly, is it those 15 pounds your loving spouse keeps pointing out? For me, it was the pains of all three. Whichever reason you find yourself longing for an in-ground pool, chances are there has never been a better time.

Not only did he remember me but was able to fit me in and was at my house Wednesday morning. I had told him the pool had structural issues and he assured me there was nothing he couldn't handle. He was right. He and his worker Lisa worked in 95+ degree weather (heat index 105) all day and made the pool structurally sound with a beautiful new liner. Once he was onsite, all my butterflies were laid to rest. It was a long, hot day and I seriously can't say enough about his knowledge, skills and overall great personality. Gabe - thank you so much!!

We had our pool installed by a different company and to say the least they did not do a professional job. Our first summer with the pool was basically ruined because we had to deal with so many problems with the contractors, invoices that didn't add up, pool turning green etc. Eventually we threw our hand up and said maybe we'd made a bad investment but one of my co-workers said Carlton Pools had helped him with some pool issues. THey came in and took a look, immediately they pointed out a few chemical issues and gave us a fair price on fixing the shoddy build job. Now we've had two summers with a pool that my wife and kids love, plenty of parties too. We're talking to them right now about a spa and they're friendly as ever. Would recommend. read more

It's a little late but I just wanted to come say a great big thank you. I'm both picky and indecisive, which is probably the worst combination a customer can have, and I changed my mind about a million things. But everyone was so nice and courteous towards me, just absolutely lovely. Really patient. And I ended up getting exactly what I wanted! I've absolutely LOVED my new pool, you guys are great ppl and thank you so much. read more

I've been bringing my water here to be tested since Carlton Pools purchased the place from the previous pool company. Employees are top shelf. They don't "up-sell" me on chemicals. The owner once next day shipped a part for me from his PA store. I cannot say enough good things about this place. Go talk to Mark or one of the "guys" here and you'll see what I mean. I also like the fact that they carry BioGuard pool chemicals. read more

Carlton Pools is so great! Friendly staff, great hours, professional, and fun to work with. They built our pool a few years back and we've always relied on them for maintenance and cleaning.
