I cannot say enough wonderful things about my experience with Baths of Distinction -- especially…read moreworking with Bill, the Sales Director, who was absolutely unbelievable. From start to finish, Bill was incredibly knowledgeable and ready with every bit of information I could possibly need to make this purchase completely smooth and stress-free. Despite the fact that I'm located in Texas and they are in Florida, you would think that could create challenges -- but with Baths of Distinction it felt like they were next door. Every question or concern I had Bill handled immediately with professionalism and care. The quality, style, and price of the product exceeded my expectations -- I was genuinely thrilled with all aspects. It's not an easy decision to make such a significant purchase online, but with this company, it truly was! My master bath is now absolutely stunning and I couldn't be happier. As a designer myself, I will not only be recommending Baths of Distinction to friends and family, but also to my clients as well. Exceptional service, beautiful products, and a seamless process -- highly, highly recommended!

We could not be happier with our Empress 69"! It is a quality product. We ordered air jets, water jets, the heater and it all creates a wonderful experience. The jets even clean themselves! The blower is three speed and has a self drying purge cycle. The purge cycle automatically commences 30 minutes after the blower has been deactivated. That's pretty awesome. I dealt with Kim Lasher who was always courteous, enthusiastic, knowledgable and just plain ole nice! Even with all my questions, she remained composed and her demeanor allowed me to actually order a bathtub online and I wouldn't change a thing.

After a few months the pool looked like a swamp. I had several quotes to get the pool cleaned and running again, some of these other companies really tried to gouge me and upcharge me on things I did not want. Bob came out and gave me a very reasonable quote and did not try to upcharge me on anything. Once the pool got cleaned out I decided I should refinish it and add a sundeck. Again they could of gave me an outrageous quote since half the job was done but once again I was given a very reasonable number. Communication was great by phone, text and email. The guys who came out to do the work were very friendly and professional. The job got done in a reasonable amount of time and the pool looks fantastic. The company was know as Walker pools previously but now called Affordable so you can look up both to find them. If I ever need pool repairs again they will be the first ones I call. Really great job.

Thankfully, Elite Pool Designs put all of our fears to rest thanks to their amazing customer service, fair prices and excellent, high quality work. We previously had a koi pond in our backyard but, as the fish died out, realized we wanted something else back there instead. We reached out to Elite Pool and Cyndi and she came over the next day to assess our yard. As we had no idea where to start, she helped guide us through the whole process, connecting us with surveyors, tree removal experts and all of the other hidden things you don't think about when you decide "I want a pool". After the work to get the yard ready was done, we went to the Elite Pool offices to pick out the tile, lining and design of the pool. Cyndi walked us through the shape and features we wanted, and provided a very reasonable quote for everything, including, automation, a heater for the pool (hey it DOES sometime get cold here!) and a screen enclosure. Construction for the pool started in October 2024 and finished in late January 2025, and our hat goes off to Robert (owner of Elite Pool) for his help with managing the entire project. Crews arrived as needed and on time, and though there were some periods between steps where not a lot of work was being done, it was never unreasonable and given the holidays, totally fair. Inspection and electrical were simple and easy and now we are ready to enjoy our pool! For anyone in our same position, looking to install a pool from scratch but not sure where to turn, Elite Pool Design should be your first call, can't recommend them highly enough!

We trusted Pinch A Penny on 9th Street to maintain pools at two homes that were often vacant. They continued billing us and claimed the pools were being serviced, but our cameras, neighbors, and family confirmed otherwise. At one property, no one came for about six weeks, even though we were sent pictures pretending the service had been completed. When family stayed at the homes for two weeks, neither pool was serviced once. One pool was found green, several feet low, and with the pool light hanging out. At another property, a defective pool-fill device they installed leaked approximately 1,500 gallons, killing plants and damaging landscaping. We only discovered it after the water company contacted us.btw a few weeks before my parents but a hose pool fill which they returned bc it was defective. Then weeks later I get one from them and they don't test it and connect it. Pretty coincidental. There has been no accountability, no meaningful response from the owner, and no effort to resolve the damage. In our experience, they took advantage of the fact that the homes were vacant, billed for work that was not performed, and were dishonest about it. We will be pursuing recovery of our damages through other means.

Sunday afternoon, at least five customers in the store at the time. The owners son, Evan, is always on his phone and refuses to help customers. Today, He sees me walk in with four chlorine containers, makes eye contact with me, completely ignores me and looks back at his phone. I load everything onto the rolling cart myself and go up to the front desk where I'm told by an employee who's leaving and trying to catch the bus that someone else will be up to help me. Great. Evan is still on his phone. Another young man comes up to the register to help me. There's another customer in line behind me. No one is there to help out to the car, yet Evan is still on his phone. After loading the containers into my car myself, I go back in to make sure I get his name so that I can write this review. I tell him what just happened and he denies it and says He didn't make eye contact with me. Keep in mind, he still has not raised his elbows from the counter, and he's still connected to his phone. Talk about customer service!!! Most employees here are helpful and greet you with a smile. Francisco is wonderful. Randall is always there to greet you and do his best to assist. I have back problems and have a hard time lifting these myself, as they are quite heavy. It's really disappointing that the owner of the company has decided to put their son in the store ( Probably to teach him some work experience and the value of earning a dollar) and that his son is driving off customers. He's an entitled, rude kid who couldn't care less and he has no business dealing with regular neighborhood paying customers. Bummer. One bad apple can ruin it for the whole bunch. From now on, I will be driving further to another pool store, in hopes of decent service.

We interviewed 6 pool installation companies, and the one that heard, listened, and created the most appropriate solution for us was Hollywood Pools and Spas. They built a pool and patio that have met our needs perfectly. We have a new pool within the shell of the old (35x15) pool, deep enough for vertical water aerobics (6'3" instead of 8') and an adequate size to accommodate whatever and whoever!! The Hydrazzo finish is beautifully smooth, and the Shellock pavers promise us many years of worry-free living. They need no sealing and complement the bronzy tones of the back of our house. A major concern for us was storm generated water coming in the back of our house and screened porch (slightly downhill from the pool). 4" drains liberally installed were the perfect solution to sending water to the side yards. We experienced no serious water-related problems from Hurricanes Debby, Helene or Milton. Yes, there were some hiccups, but all concerns were suitably resolved. Thank you Ron, Joe, Jessica, Chad, Tanner and all the related subcontractors. That was the year that was!!

This made no sense given that we had all new parts. Buyer beware. This company will not stand behind its work. My timer works now, but not because of Pinch a Penny.
