The Pool Company Construction just completed a renovation of our pool (new coping, tile, pool…read morelighting, railing). Their work was outstanding. No one really enjoys spending money on renovation projects, but we were so pleased with the results, and feel the money was well spent. From their first visit to discuss options and provide an estimate, through the entire project, they were professional, courteous, responsive and friendly. A special thanks to Gayle and Patrick. If you need anything done to your pool, give the Pool Company a call. I know that you won't be sorry. Steven T. (Spotsylvania)

Signed contract September 2020 for install end of January 2021…read more Construction started June 2021 for a "30-45" day project (still not complete May 27, 2022). Many issues: -Concrete color is salmon, not tan, even AAA workers have said they don't think it is the color they intended -$10k in damages to asphalt driveway (that we were assured by the owner wouldn't happen because we would start our build in January when the ground is frozen) -Major grading issues that causes pool to flood any time it rains -Project abandoned by Brian in August 2021 -Firepit was thrown off to the side and not incorporated into our design -Poor Quality/Workmanship with concrete: no 90° angles, crooked lines, sharp surface, etc. -Tan fence installed with 3-4 different shades (after wrong fence color against our HOA was delivered) -Backwash line overflows/doesn't drain and is eroding our basement foundation and retaining wall -Not enough characters to continue this list. May 2022: Still waiting on project to be finished/corrected. No urgency because this is their "busy season" and have new pools to install. This is the biggest financial mistake I have ever made. Richard Shaver (owner) sat at my breakfast table and told my husband and I that he would build us a backyard oasis. He talked about God and doing good for people. Haven't heard from him since the day we signed the contract. I would love for him to photograph our project and proudly present it on his social media without using Photoshop. If I could have them dig it up and refund us, I would. May 2025 - still flooding, Richard Shaver is a ghost!!

Monarch Pool Care came through for me just in time for the Fourth of July holiday! When my pool…read morefilter unexpectedly sprang a leak, they responded quickly, diagnosed the problem, and had it repaired right away. Their professionalism, expertise, and customer service were outstanding from start to finish. Thanks to Steven's fast and professional work, my pool is crystal clear and ready for family and friends this holiday weekend. It's hard to find companies that are this responsive and reliable, but Monarch Pool Care always exceeds my expectations. I highly recommend them to anyone in the Stafford area looking for knowledgeable, trustworthy, friendly, pool service. Thank you, Monarch Pool Care (Ruth and Glen), for saving my holiday weekend!

The owner of Monarch is a textbook narcissist to say the least. He took advantage of me being a…read morenaive first time pool owner and single woman then grossly under paid the older black concrete man he brought in billing me $800 for their services and only paid them $300 for the actual materials and labor pocketing the remaining $500 for the referral was diabolical. When we were discussing the scope of the work, he kept randomly quoting some Patriotic quote that made me more and more uncomfortable the more he said it because he was coming off like a "Proud Boy" that was triggered by how nice my home was considering a young black single woman bought it. After I caught on to what he pulled with the bill and went to his store to discuss it, he gaslit tf out of me saying he was no longer doing business with ME to save face in front of the new young woman at the desk I'm certain he's attracted to - reframing me as the issue not his politics and greed. Be forewarned. Especially if you're a person of color. This man is a live wire.

I am a new pool owner and had tried a few pool stores before I found Monarch. The staff is super…read morefriendly and patient. Most importantly they are extremely knowledgeable about pool maintenance. I had many questions and they were always there to assist and help me get my pool healthy. I will never go anywhere else! I also love that they are available on the weekends!!! thank you making the first summer with my new pool so enjoyable and I learn so much from them about all aspects of pool use and maintenance.

Since switching to Monarch Pool Care some years ago, I'm delighted to give the team led by Darrell…read moremy highest rating. His guidance has kept me on track with my in season pool care. I trust his advice and am assured in knowing that if I stick with what he's told me to do, my pool will be clean and brilliantly clear from opening to close. This type of customer care is rare today, with the prevailing business model being "squeeze em for all you can get". Which is exactly why I'll give my pool care dollars to Monarch season after season.

This is the 2nd pool Denis and his team have put in for us. It is the same team for both projects…read more5 years apart and that says a lot in itself because it can be hard to keep employees so he's doing something right to have the same core team on board. Firstly, the pool is GORGEOUS! They not only installed it well and very quickly, they made sure to spend hours cleaning it before presenting it to us. It was pristine. Secondly, they are reliable beyond belief. Each day they arrived on time to do what needed to be done. We had terrible weather during our project but as soon as it cleared up, they were right there getting the job done. This all is a rare quality among contractors! Thirdly, they are a family owned business and such nice people. I know I can trust them and enjoy talking to them bc they are professional and good. And lastly, they treated our property well. Having done this before, we knew there would be some damage that comes from gravel trucks arriving to the site, excavation, etc but all the wear and tear we experienced was normal and minimal. The guys cleaned up every bit of leftover pieces, trash, and materials. Denis and his team know pools. They charge fair prices, do great work, are earnest and care about the customer. I highly recommend them!

The amount of time and money spent fighting this algae really made me resent my swimming pool. I was buying at least 10 gallons on chlorine by-weekly and still had a pool full of algae. It was a nasty sight to see. The pool company that I inherited with the home just upsold me on chemicals because I didn't know what the real issue was. Then I Met Amanda. THANK GOD FOR AMANDA! We didn't need more chemicals. We needed a new salt cell! Amanda diagnosed my pool and FIXED my pool. They were prompt, patient, and very thorough in answering all of my questions. My pool is now one of the BEST parts of my home. I have not bought an ounce of chlorine since. I turn the pump on and come out every morning to crystal clear water and no signs of algae whatsoever!!! HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend for opening, closing, cleaning, and all your pool maintenance needs!!! THANK YOU LIFELINE!!! THANK YOU, AMANDA!!!
