Working with Steve and Jean has been an absolute dream! The entire process has been easy to understand, and they've used their years of experience to prevent us from making design mistakes we'd eventually regret - which meant less income for them. Carolina Poolscapes provided me with the best value-to-cost quote, the highest-quality communication, and the friendliest customer service of any of the dozen or so pool companies I contacted in the Raleigh area. Every other company I spoke with was more interested in how much I'd be willing to pay for their services while acting like they were doing me a favor by even talking with me. If you want to be treated like a friend or family member, go with Carolina Poolscapes. Steve and Jean were the only ones who were actually invested in the outcome for myself, my wife, and our toddler. I know Yelp only goes up to five stars, but they deserve 10/10! read more

Note: Carolina Poolscapes issued a response to our rating which bears little resemblance to the facts. First, we did not use Yelp to select Carolina Poolscapes. Yelp contacted us after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes contract. Carolina Poolscapes acts like they were unaware we were dissatisfied. We communicated this to one of the partners on several occasions. We have emails, text messages, photos/videos, security camera footage, and feedback from other contractors who repaired and completed the work of Carolina Poolscapes that confirms the rating we gave. The evidence shows Carolina Poolscapes did extensive damage to our lawn, landscaping, and irrigation, failed to repair them properly, left construction and personal debris strewn about (some of which they never removed), and we later discovered the pool work they did do was unsatisfactory. Our new contractor identified 4 new significant pool plaster delamination spots that Carolina Poolscapes missed, cut out cracks they failed to address, and installed 22 staples to the pool shell. Carolina Poolscapes told us no staples were necessary. We sincerely wish Carolina Poolscapes could witness the firms who repaired their work and completed the project. If they could, Carolina Poolscapes would understand the importance of showing up on time, working a full day, exercising care, doing things correctly, worksite cleanliness, having the necessary serviceable equipment and tools, positive teamwork, listening skills, and not constantly badgering the client for more money and invoicing progress payments before the work is complete. As for the bluestone work, it was done by a subcontractor and now Carolina Poolscapes wants to take credit. Finally, the contractor's partners did not get along, creating friction on the work site, and contributing to unnecessary project delays. We asked for two small changes that added 1-2 days. Weather may have delayed work by 4-5 days, but that is due to the work stretching to nearly 12 weeks (for a "4 week" project). Unlike Carolina Poolscapes, the new contractors issued warranties for their work. As for hiring one of their subcontractors, Carolina Poolscapes repeatedly failed to repair the irrigation system. We considered hiring one of their part-time subcontractors with irrigation skills to do the repair, but Carolina Poolscapes complained, ..., thereby costing the subcontractor income. Further misrepresentations by Carolina Poolscapes on this website or further interference with our contractors under false pretenses (Why did one of the partners call one of our new contractors representing himself as the contractor on our project after we terminated Carolina Poolscapes' contract?) will be viewed negatively and do nothing to change the facts on the ground. read more

Awesome customer service with even better designs! We love our new pool for all of our kiddos to enjoy for years to come
