On 3/10/25 I submitted a repair request online for my Sundance spa. The next day I received a call…read morefrom the service department, and they explained in order for me to get on their schedule I'd have to pay a deposit of $329. Although it seems like a lot of money, I understand the reasons behind collecting a deposit (customers unexpectedly cancelling appointments, technician time to travel and diagnose issues, etc.). I paid the deposit and we confirmed the next available appointment was 3/20/25. On 3/14/25 I got an email (no phone call) telling me "Due to unforeseen circumstances we will not be able to complete your spa service on 3/20/25. Instead, we will be there 3/25/25". I was so frustrated and disappointed they had picked a new date without discussing it with me and that it was 5 days later. I discussed the issue with the service department, they apologized and said that was the earliest date. There was nothing more they could do. On 3/25/25, the day of my appointment, I get a voice message that said they needed to cancel the appointment and reschedule for 3/26/25. Because I have a fenced in yard with dogs I took the day off of work to be here. I'm beyond frustrated with NE Spas. Conveniently they took my money in less than 24hours but they have no problem rescheduling my appointments for 16 days. By the way their policy is no monetary refunds just store credit. So that's not even an option. I feel trapped because they have my money and left me no other option but to accept their dates.

I've used this company for both opening and closing my above-ground pool, but after this year's…read moreclosing I discovered a major issue: the water started draining out under the cover until only about six inches remain. My pool has never had a leaking problem until after they serviced it. I reached out to the owner hoping to resolve the situation, but instead of listening to my concerns, he told me to refill the entire pool "to see if it drains again." I explained that I didn't want to waste money refilling thousands of gallons of water just to watch it leak out, and his response was, "it doesn't cost that much. You live in Barrington, not East Providence," implying that I should just be able to afford the cost. It was condescending, rude, and completely unprofessional. I also explained, as a business owner in the trades myself, that I understand callbacks can be frustrating, but we just needed help resolving the problem. Instead of working with us, he told me he would charge a service fee--despite the fact that the issue only began after they closed the pool. The owner took zero accountability and dismissed everything I said. The lack of customer service, respect, and responsibility is extremely disappointing. I would not recommend this company to anyone looking for reliable or professional pool services.

Ok, I HAVE, HAVE, HAVE to update, now that our baby is installed and running! One thing about…read moreFerrari Pools, Patios and Spas - is that Pools and Spas is not their primary "thing" - their "thing" is the patios. But anything that goes into making a patio spectacular becomes their "thing". We weren't in the market for a "patio" - quite yet. What we were in the market for was a plunge pool. Until we visited a home show, and we priced out pools - and just when we were about to "bite the bullet", a well known company in the North Shore, that ONLY does spas and spa pools, gave us a really good breakdown on how a spa pool would fit our needs/lifestyle at a fraction of the cost of a pool. We embarked on doing research. LOTS of research (we currently own a non heated pool, and the maintenance hasn't been a big deal, so we KNEW what we would get ourselves in to... but $150K pricetag?! um, uh...). Wound up at NES (and you've read my review/experience on that, and subsequently the manager boohooing thinking we were "indoctrinated" by them only to ditch them... nope, they were overpriced and only decided to make a deal when they realized they lost the sale... but I digress). SO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Off we go to Ferrari, and got a really, really wonderful cost/benefit analysis on pools (did I mention they do pools?!) and our life style. Actually, they sell few spa's, because patios are #1 and pools #2. Mark and the ENTIRE crew are PHENOMENAL. Ordering, pricing, installation, post installation training and service. PHENOMENAL! The installer tea are a hilarious group of hard working and upbeat professionals. Made everything look so easy. Mike Hunter did the follow up and guided us through all the features. A couple of hours later, we were in getting hydrotherapied and celebrating life! We did our homework - extensive. They offer value, a VERY competitive price withouth any hassle and amazing service!

This March (2016), we decided to do a major overhaul of our pool and pool area. I contacted Dex by…read moreTerra and another major stoneworks competitor. I wanted to replace about 1,000 sq ft of poured concrete decking with a nicer decking and cantilevered coping. And, I also wanted to replace a 3'-high wood retaining wall and pool house steps with a stone wall and steps. The wall traces around our pool house with garden plantings between the wall and the pool house. Dex by Terra won our business for two very important reasons: o First, Joe Medeiros from DBT, who is a landscape architect, presented a design plan that wowed us. Joe has an easy old-school manner, is a good listener and has great ideas and is good at explaining why some ideas are good and some aren't based on his years of experience. The plan contours of the decking and stone wall were absolutely beautiful. Joe suggested lowering the 30" height of the retaining wall to make it a sitting wall and added a beautiful wave to the wall that wrapped toward the deep end of the pool. Joe also designed an arc'ed bump-out near the back slope of our property that looks out on a vista of conservation land. A really nice touch. The competitor's plan, which we saw first, had no excitement to it, and I had begun to wonder if I really wanted to spend $30,000-$40,000 on a major decking renovation (in addition to $25,000 in swimming pool renovation and equipment/electrical upgrades). o Second, the competitor does not do natural stone work, focusing on Techo-Bloc and other manufactured products. While those products have come a long way, and can look like natural stone, as my wife and I thought more about the pool area, we gravitated toward natural stone for both the decking and the wall. We wanted a stone that doesn't cook your feet, that feels smooth, not rough, underfoot and on your hands and doesn't grab your bathing suit when you sit on the coping and dangle your legs in the pool. And, we wanted something that will still look like new when we sell the house in 10-15 years. We ruled out bluestone, which is beautiful, because it get too hot and is too rough. Joe Medeiros and I discussed travertine for the decking, and the more I read up on it, even though it added to the cost, the more travertine became the clear solution for us. We visited DBT's office/showroom in Hudson, and settled on travertine for the decking, and natural stone with travertine capstone for sitting on the stone wall. How well did DBT deliver? Absolutely stunning! We are ecstatic! Marco Resendes served as the project manager from DEX. Mark was responsive, helpful and resourceful. He came to me with issues as soon as they arose so the masons could keep the work moving. For example, the travertine decking and pool coping, now a few inches higher than the original concrete decking, would abut the last step of the stairs to our wood deck at too high a height for safety purposes, so he needed my OK to increase the downslope of the travertine). And, when I asked Mark what we could do to hide the ugly cinder block foundation of the pool house, exposed when the original 30" wood retaining wall was replaced with the 20" stone sitting wall, he recommended that his masons could create a stucco look which they did - just great work. The DBT team did the demolition work of the original concrete decking, the wood retaining wall, a concrete walkway and bushes in two-three days. The team, led by Jeffrey, were fast, efficient and got tons of material loaded into a dumpster and trucked away. Jeffrey is a pro with the excavator and a good guy. The stone wall masons worked fast as did the team that graded and prepped the decking area with sand and gravel, installed the coping stone along the pool perimeter and laid out the travertine in a beautiful pattern. They are all experienced craftsmen, led by Reuben who knows his stuff. Were there any negatives? None. But, like any major project, it's important to be there as the work gets done. So, for example, the stone wall team began to build the wall by laying the stone in a horizontal fashion when I had asked for the stones to be assembled with a vertical pattern. By being there, I was able to correct that almost immediately. My opinion is that the homeowner has a daily responsibility to keeping tabs on the work as it's performed to ensure you get what you want. The timing: First spoke with Joe Medeiros in early April. Signed a contract on May 20. Demolition occurred at the end of May. There was some wait time as the swimming pool team from Farrell Pool did their renovation work. And some wait time for the DBT team as they came off another project. DBT finished their work by July 13. So, overall, about a 6-week duration from the start of demolition. That's pretty good, especially since they've got a lot of jobs going and there is competition for resources. Kudos to the entire team - highest recommendation!!!

To anyone that is considering Dex by Terra (or has recently hired them for a project), I have one…read morepiece of advice for you: RUN AWAY AND DONT LOOK BACK We hired Dex By Terra to perform a backyard transformation (in 2024) following the install of our pool in Framingham, MA. The design phase, led by Joe, was wonderful. EVERY SINGLE THING THAT TOOK PLACE POST-DESIGN WAS TERRIBLE. We opted for a stamped concrete design, which was our first mistake. Every single person from DEX who has been at our house honestly has no idea what they are doing in regards to stamped concrete. When you look at reviews, every positive review is for non-concrete patio's. When it comes to stamped concrete... anything that could go wrong went wrong. 1.) Stamped upper patio area was completed first. Color was wrong. It looked like someone had poured curry powder all over my patio. Luckily, they were able to jackhammer it out and replace 2.) Stamped pool deck - after one winter, there was an erosion that took place all over the patio (think little white specks everywhere). They refused to repour concrete and opted to fix with a stain/sealer. Needless to say, while it did improve the white spots, we are in summer number 3, and it looks even worse now. In addition, the lines of the stamping, drains, and immediate border around pool are all not straight. 3.) Masonry work was shoddy all over entire patio. Big gaps, stones falling out of place, allowing rodents to make new homes. 4.) Supervision is an afterthought. Our project manager Delia wasnt actually managing anything. People would show up whenever, without any prior notification. Questions requesting specific dates and times for workers were not answered. General job site cleanliness was a total DISASTER - with items getting broken (all of our solar lamps), landscaping being damaged (from moving furniture into landscaping while working on patio), sealer hardening at bottom of pool causing white marks, and overall general sloppiness in terms of keeping areas of house clean (like siding, trim, and windows) while they worked. 5.) Zero accountability. I asked numerous times for the owners of the business to come on-site to see the horrendous work that they performed. Joe, Delia, and Tommy (head of ops) came out. Joe agreed the work was sloppy and terrible looking. Tommy didn't have a clue - he could have been a guy they grabbed at dunks to serve as "head of ops" for all we know. Now we are on year 3, they are still doing some work with the same problems and same lack of attention to detail and lack of respect of our time/money/house. In discussing with my wife, we are going to have to bring in actual professionals at some point down the line to remediate the mess that Dex by Terra have caused. Again - if you are considering hiring Dex by Terra for any work, I would run as far away as you can from them. Atrocious company, atrocious support, atrocious attention to detail, and absolutely ZERO accountability. I offer anyone the opportunity to come to my house to see the quality of their work first-hand. Know what you are getting yourself into and know there are better companies out there.
