I hired these people to install a new liner in my in round 20x44 pool. It was very expensive (more…read morethan their average competition in the area) but having used them before for the same job 12 years ago they did a great job so i bit the bullet and hired them again. First there were material delays, then substitute materials were used then they installed in late Fall only to have to uninstall and wait 2 weeks more as the first liner was defective. I should have seen the warning right then as a bad omen. Two weeks later they installed the liner I have now, we balanced the water and closed up for the season. We opened without a problem in late spring. Everything looked fine or so we thought until a closer look a day or so after opening and taking the first swim. We noticed the liner pulled free form the coping in several places and not securely tucked in other places. Called and they sent a team to re-stretch the liner and jam some plastic shims between the liner bead and the coping to keep it in place. Not happy with that it seemed to be fine and I was assured this is what those plastic shims are for and we were only lucky to never have had to use them before. All good now - or so we thought. A few weeks later it was time for the first nite time use. We are now into July. Once we turned on the in pool light we saw numerous wrinkles in the liner. These are on the wall in the deep end that slopes down into the dive envelope. Upon contacting them with pictures they did send someone to look but unfortunately due to the liner patters you can not see them by day. Long story short its now months later (august) and they finally contacted me today with an answer full of excuses ranging form high ground water table causing water pockets in the corners under the liner to a host of other possibilities. . Well that must have come from some page in their excuses book because the last time I checked water runs downhill thanks to gravity. My wrinkles are mid wall in a vertical wall sloped downgrade to the deep dive pocket and NOT in any corners. They further explained the integrity of the pool is fine and while they can not explain it its not their fault but they will be glad to fix because they do not want me unhappy. All I have to do is agree to pay for new water and all labor and materials for whatever time it takes to uninstall and reinstall the liner . Oh how generous of them you might think at a glance. WRONG! Anyone who knows a tid-bit about liners knows you can not drain it and re stretch it especially when stairs and a pool side light are cut into it. so toss in insult upon injury as they treat you like an idiot. Oh and also if it leaks or fails in anyway its not warrantied and on me to cough up the repair cost for new vinyl. Still think its a generous offer? Its really nothing more than the flip of a double bird over a nothing sandwich. They are doing nothing for nothing and I have to assume all the risks and costs. Now working mechanically myself for years I'm no fool. M y pool is 27,000 gallons of water over a mason bottom and galvanized frame and concrete footings. It is set in bank run soil with excellent draining strategically placed where perk test prior to install proved no water table issues and proved excellent downward drainage. The pool is up grade of a flood plain, drainage canal and retention pond to handle any ground water should any become a high level. All of these have been bone dry all year. Its not a high water table issue. It is however clearly a shotty installation where the air was not adequately vacated during the install and compounded by insufficient stretching at installation thus causing the spring need to come back in the first place. in short they basically told me they wont fix it unless I pay for it and if the fix fails a new liner would be required at my expense. They use to provide quality service and like others have stated at premium prices . Now while the premium prices remains true the quality has went poopy on the bed sheets! Defiantly not worth calling them at any price now days. Their quality care has vanished and while thy are nice to talk to they are politely very clear as to they just don't care because once the bill is paid you own it. Bottom line - My advice - when it comes to Rainbow if your in the market for anything pool do your best Forest Gump imitation and RUN FOREST RUN!! Avoid them like the black plague. Quality customer care and workmanship has set sail as I believe so has the original owners I hear. This rainbow is clearly after YOUR pot of gold at any cost and cares not about quality.

NIGHTMARE!!!! -- DO NOT PAY THEM UNTIL THE JOB IS 100% COMPLETE…read more I live 1,000 miles away and hired Royal Pools to refurbish a pool at my elderly mother's house in New York that had basically turned into a swamp. They were the highest price but came highly recommended by neighbors and I didn't want to cut corners and take a chance. At their request, I made the mistake of paying them when the job was "almost done." In the time it took me to run to the store and come back, they packed up and left without finishing the job. Like other reviews have said, their attitude went from great to downright hostile the minute they had their money. I spent $25,000 to have this pool refurbished, and they left me with a pool that is unfinished, leaking, unable to properly circulate, and with no chemicals in it. It is now starting to turn back into the same swamp I paid them to fix. Now I have to take more time off work and fly back to NY to find a company to finish the job. If they'll do this to a 75 year old widow, I doubt they'll care about taking your money.

I maintained the pool for more than 20 years on my own including the DE filter cleaning. In addition, a pool store asked me if I would consider working for them because I knew so much about pools.

It's a big investment and we were looking for the right company to do the job. We met Shiela who gave us pricing after seeing our pool. We picked out a liner, signed a contract around June 17th and were told our pool would be measured shortly after for a liner and the work would be done the week of July 18th. We also left a deposit, which was half of the total cost. We were notified that someone had come to measure the pool but couldn't because there was water collecting from the rain and we needed to pump it out. We weren't advised of this ahead of time but pumped it out and were told it would be measured on another day. The day came and went with a No show. We were pretty lenient and allowed for the measurement at anytime. We reached out because we hadn't heard anything and were given an excuse. We were given another date and yet again, a No show. This went on for quite some time and we kept pumping out water but it also kept recollecting because no one would show up. We also had to constantly reach out as no one reached out to us. Finally, a week before the scheduled repair date, the measurements were done, despite the water that collected. So this could have been done from the beginning as the condition of the pool is worsening because of the delays. We hear nothing until the week of our repairs. Shiela decides to advise us that we also need a new floor that will cost an additional 3k, which was probably worsened by water sitting there waiting for this work to be done. Once finding this out, the week of repairs, where a contract was signed, we asked for pricing for the floor along with making the pool less deep. We requested this pricing because it was something we were planning to do in the future but didn't think it would make sense to redo the liner and floor again shortly down the road. We might as well tackle it all now. Shiela was totally not interested and could care less. Told us to have our money back and was completely fine with us finding someone else to do the pool, just didn't care or couldn't be bothered with us. She wasted our time and breached a contract. Who knows how long we'll have to wait and what the condition of our pool will be. I'm absolutely disappointed with this company and wouldn't recommend them at all. I regret wasting my time. If you'd conducted your business properly from the beginning then we would not have wasted a month for no reason,
