Once the papers were signed in January 2022, things came to a screeching halt and the service was beyond awful. We physically went to their office multiple times to try to get responses to our inquiries since no one would get back to us. The timeline went from being completed in May, to August, and pushed out week by painful week. It was not fully completed until late February of 2023. The house was supposed to be a vacation rental but we couldn't rent it with the back yard torn up so we lost 7 months of rental income. Every step that had to be completed was a gut wrenching nightmare. We even followed up by chasing down some of the subs ourselves since we couldn't get answers from TP. They changed employees regularly so we'd have to start at zero with each new person. They also tore up part of the concrete sidewalk alongside the house and said they would fix it, but never did. The only upside was when Ian hit 9 months after we signed, there was only a concrete hole in the ground so there was nothing to get wrecked. Unless you have no expectations of a timeline or customer service, don't go there.

I contacted "Southwest Pools a Pool Centurion Group, LLC Company" (Southwest Pools) in September…read more2025 for a quote for a new pool pump. They sent me a quote for a Pentair IntelliFlo3 pool pump. I contacted them the same day to confirm if this quote is for the 1.5HP or the 3.0HP version. Southwest Pools confirmed that the quote is for the 3.0 HP version. A Southwest Pools technician arrived a week later for the installation. However, the technician did not ring the doorbell, and when I recognized someone on the side of my house, he was already done. The pump did not have some of the features I expected, e.g. wi-fi connectivity, and I asked him to leave me the package of the installed pump. After the technician had left, I recognized that the installed pool pump is a Pentair SuperFlo with 1.5HP (Model 342002) pool pump. This pump is about $500 cheaper than the pump Southwest Pools originally quoted. I called Southwest Pools about the issue and was told they made a mistake, and the quote was actually for the cheaper Pentair SuperFlo 1.5HP pool pump. They sent me the invoice for the second installment payment, still stating they installed the Pentair IntelliFlo3 3HP pool pump, and pretty much told me to "bugger off". So, I would not touch these guys with a 10-foot-long pole.

I normally go to Pinch a Penny but Leslie's was closer to me at this time, and they seem to have slightly better prices so I gave them a try. Worst pool store experience I have had yet. There was an old gentleman there that was cranky, and slow, and didn't seem to care about what I personally wanted . I went in to get specific items and had them test My Water and all he did was try to sell me on several different things I know I didn't need. Plus, they didn't have the item that I actually needed . I left and went back to pinch a Penny and told them some of the information the guy had told me and they said that was completely wrong and that it should be illegal to give out bad information They have someone working at Pinch Penny that came from Leslie's and he vouched that they were only told to upsell, And had very little training . I will happily spend a little more money to have knowledgeable and friendly service .

After an initial meeting, he sent us a black and white engineering drawing of the pool where we had great difficulty reading the numbers even when we enlarged them. The drawing didn't incorporate some of the things we had mentioned to him, so we felt Craig wasn't listening to us, and it didn't show how the pool would fit onto our property. So, we asked him to email us a color CAD drawing to help us in this regard. Over the next two months, we asked him over a dozen times for this CAD drawing but he never responded. We complained to our master builder about him, but they wouldn't change from Craig's Pacific Pools (likely because Craig won their business by giving them the lowest price..red flag). Out of frustration, we met with a key person at Nassau Pools in Naples, who had wonderful ideas, and provided us with a beautiful color CAD drawing the next morning. Our builder said they wouldn't switch to Nassau (but we found out later that our builder had hired Nassau Pools to build pools for 2 of their model homes) so we provided their CAD drawing to Craig's Pacific Pool and Spa Center. This Nassau Pools CAD drawing was excellent, but no one noticed that the depth of the maybe 6-inch shelf holding 3 bubblers wasn't specified. Instead of asking for this important depth info, Craig decided to build our pool by assuming we wanted a "bench" that was about 3-4 feet deep, and installed bubblers that didn't even break the surface of the water. We had said we wanted the soothing sounds of the bubblers, like most customers would want. We had a meeting with Craig, and asked why he didn't ask anyone how deep the shelf should be before building, and he just shrugged his shoulders and said he it wasn't his job to do that, the plan should have had that info. OMG. He then seemed to complain that the bubblers didn't even break the water level, but he was the one who decided to build them to that height. We found out later from many friends in Naples that Craig Stevens at Craig's Pacific Pool &Spa is known as one of the worst pool builders in Naples, and only wins business with developers by being the lowest cost pool builder. He is NOT a creative pool designer who can even do a CAD drawing, and he's a clueless older man who has trouble communicating anything. He seemed nice enough, but when we were giving him tough feedback his reaction was to smile and slightly laugh. Very unprofessional and not someone any customer would want building their pool or spa. If you want a quality pool designed and built, you'd do well to stay away from Craig at Craig's Pacific Pools.
