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!

Note: Carolina Poolscapes issued a response to our rating…read morewhich 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.

We signed our contract with Jeff in Sep 2024, expecting to start construction Mar 2025, totally…read morefine, we were told it would be 4-6 weeks TOPS once construction began. In Nov 2025 we were told they could start Jan 2025, fantastic to be able to start early, or so we thought. They dropped off the materials, which meant they got the first pull of funds. This went rather smooth, they prepped the area, put the walls in, this was done by Jan 15, 2025. There was an issue with the liner order, in February, they put down the Gunite, we immediately noticed some cracking on the stairs, emailed Jeff who assured us that was normal and not to worry. The next day they installed the liner and started with filling the pool. The water was not part of the contract (bad on me for not asking/realizing that detail). Immediately we noticed significant wrinkling in the stairs, I'm talking big chunky ugly wrinkles. Jeff assured us as the pool continued to fill they would sooth out. You guessed it, that did not happen, they remained until SEPTEMBER 2025. But that was just the beginning of the problems; communication, Jeff almost NEVER responded, we went sometimes weeks with zero responses or communication, many times contractors didn't show up as promised with no explanation. They were quick to make sure we got the release of funds emails though. The pump was broken, we only know because I had a problem with it, texted/called Jeff and he said "oh yeah, we know, we had to order a replacement", the concrete around the pool cracked the day they poured it, took 3 months to fix, the cut the grounding wire TWICE, we had begged them to bury it (my husbands an electrician) because he knew leaving it above ground left it susceptible to another contractor cutting it. When they cut it both times, we were never notified, the pump was running, the pool was filled, and anyone could that touched the handrails could have been shocked. It took a while to get him to respond and fix that. They left the huge dirt pile in my yard until mid/late March, kept telling me they had to wait for concrete to be finished before they could remove it. Destroyed the rest of our yard in the process. They initially "graded" the yard, but all of it sloped towards the pool, took over a month to get that fixed. We paid an extra $3000.00 for a walkway, took almost a month to complete it. It seemed like every hurdle we faced was because we were no longer "New" money. The minute we were stuck in the contract they stopped treating us like a valued customer. We were very clear that our project was in Lillington, that was never an issue when we were paying them. But it became abundantly clear that the construction on our pool was an end of the day/week project when they had no other jobs. And the kicker, they installed the WRONG liner, it isn't the one we ordered, and when I brought up to Jeff, he just ignored me. Construction started January 13, 2025, completely completed SEPTEMBER 2025. Remember when I mentioned the wrinkles in the stairs, we were told we have to wait for the water to warm up, ok no problem, come July, oh we're going to have to empty the pool to fix that. We spent months going back and forth over the stairs and Jeff just kept putting it off. Then they want to empty the pool 3 weeks before my daughter's wedding, which was being held at our home?! They did finally after a frustrated conversation, come out, fix the wrinkles and then refill the pool. They have one employee that was beyond helpful during the entire process and the only reason we didn't escalate our issues, José. He answered questions when we felt like we had nowhere else to turn, he helped get the last few punch items complete so we could finally be done with construction and move on. I typed up an email to send to the company a dozen times, and worried that if I voiced my frustration during the process, it would only get worse. At the end, I was just so exhausted and grateful to be done, I figured what's the point. I'm going to email the guy who created all the problems and stress, for what, he won't be sorry, he already got paid. And here we are, our first season with a completed pool, excited to get started. I emailed Pool Store of the Pines and I received a call, telling me that Jeff has advised them that I'm too far away to come out and have them open the pool, they suggest I find another company for those needs. I can't even describe the frustration I feel in this very moment. After $60K, 8 months of construction, after installing the wrong liner, horrible communication, now you won't even service the pool that YOU built?! Maybe if you live close to their store you receive better service, but just because they sign a contract with you, doesn't mean you'll get it.
