Their price was reasonable and considerably less than competing quotes we received.

I appreciate that they are a family owned business and did not subcontract at all, they used their own equipment and staff to construct our new pool. The owner is very generous and helpful, when we started from receiving a quote he provided us all the information we needed, when we proceeded and decided to use DoRite construction they provided us a plot plan and did all the permitting work for us. I hope my review was helpful and thank you DoRite construction!

I didn't want to write this, I took two days to give myself time to not be angry. I'm still angry…read more Here's the story (it's a little long so grab a beer or whatever your favorite sipping beverage is): On Friday, July 17th I went into Van Dorn's Kingsville location and spoke with Marty. I found him to be a very nice man. We spoke for about 10 minutes and he gave me a quote for two different above ground pools. He told me that since I walked in the store, vs calling or messaging online, I was eligible for a free site survey. He asked me if I'd like that and I told him for free..sure! He told me he'd have his site survey man, Charles, contact me. I thanked him for his time and left. On Monday, July 20, a man with a safety vest was walking all over my property. I went outside to find out who this person was....he was from Miss Utility. He informed me he was there because he was told I was purchasing a pool from Van Dorn pools and he had to check out where they were going to dig before they put the pool in. I informed him I was not buying a pool from Van Dorn pools and I asked him what made him think that I was. He told me "Dave" told Miss Utility was buying a pool from them. He grimaced and left, his time and Miss Utility's time, obviously wasted. I called the Kingsville office immediately and ended up giving Chris, their chemical analyst, an earful. I informed him that, in addition to dealing with this strangeness, I had a giant tree fall on my house a few weeks ago and I didn't have time for more stuff to deal with. After being told Marty was off and not back until Thursday. I then decided to locate the owner of the company, Chuck Stafford, this is a small family owned company. I called their Reisterstown store and spoke with Jim, a salesman like Marty. I told him the story and he was aghast. He said that something obviously went pretty wrong in Kingsville and he'd try to get a hold of Chuck. Jim from the Reisterstown store is interested in customer service. Its important to note at this point, I'm stunned at the audacity of the folks up in Kingsville to assume after a 10 minute conversation I was actually spending thousands of dollars with them. Again, stunned and laughing at the absurdity was where I was. A few minutes later, I got a phone call from Dave. Dave is Marty's manager in Kingsville. We didn't even exchange pleasantries, nor was Dave interested in what happened. I asked him if he'd like to know why I originally called and he indicated that he was not interested in why I called, he was only interested in knowing whether I wanted to do business with them or not. I told him no, I was not, he then hung up on me. I once again called Jim at the Reisterstown store who was either truly horrified or pretending to be horrified...I'd very much like to believe it's the former. He assured me he'd try and get a hold of the owner. It's been 3 days and no call from anyone at Van Dorn. I have read some wonderful things about this company and I really hope that I am an example of a chain of events that don't usually happen and went horribly wrong. I've told a number of people about this so far and we all find the situation obnoxiously laughable. Seriously, shame on you Van Dorn.

First, I was required to drive over an hour to their showroom for a completely unnecessary appointment--just to be shown pool options that could have easily been reviewed at home via email or a catalog. After that unproductive meeting, I was told someone needed to come out to evaluate my property. I rearranged my work schedule for this appointment, which was set between 7:30-8:30 AM. No one showed up. I received a voicemail at 8:30 saying he would now likely arrive between 10:30-11:30. That's a 3-4 hour delay with no prior notice. Since I had to be at work by 11, I called him back to say that wouldn't work. When I reached out to the owner to express my frustration, he was dismissive and rude, downplaying the situation by saying the rep was "just going to be a little late." A four-hour delay is not a minor inconvenience--especially after I changed my work schedule to accommodate them. This company clearly lacks professionalism and respect for clients' time. I would look elsewhere.

Working with John during the initial design process was much easier than with other companies. He respected our budget, while simultaneously helping us envision an amazing outdoor experience for our family. Throughout the project, Scott was redibly helpful in keeping us on track, as well as making recommendations to improve the process, pool, patio, and landscape. All of the workers were professional and highly skilled. Ultimately, we ended up with a gorgeous outdoor space that we use every day. We will continue to use Woodfield for projects and highly recommend them for others in the area looking for high-end pools, and patios.

My experience with Browning Pools went from 5 stars to zero stars during the entire pool building…read moreprocess. I contacted Browning for my pool project and my sales rep was amazing. He came out and measured my yard and was extremely professional. He answered all of our questions and even had one of the owners sit down with us to address any questions he couldn't answer. We even brought up the bad reviews we read online and they had responses for those. Seeing how we wanted a fiberglass pool built by River Pools and Browning was the only company working with them in our area (more on that later) we signed the contract and off we went. The first crew that came to our house were exceptional. This team that dug the hole and put the pool in the yard did a fantastic job. We even bought the guys lunch because of their hard work and skill. At this point we are thrilled that the project is going so well. The concrete and paving crew was also amazing. They did a great job and we were very happy. Now this is when everything takes a complete turn and sugar turns to sh*t..... The landscaping crew was awful. I mean atrocious. They attempted to turn our backyard around the pool into a ski slope. They made zero effort to level things off (which was in the contract) and tried to bury huge chunks of concrete in the yard. I called the project manager and even sent photos and videos of these gentlemen doing this and he did nothing about it. My wife and I had to go outside and literally yell at them to stop doing what they were doing. Our original PM never showed back up to our site. Browning sent another gentleman who flat out told me "as far as we are concerned the project is done." Hot tub still not delivered, pool heater still not delivered but the project is done? I wind up having to contact another company to get our yard in order because of Browning's refusal. More money spent. Wait, it gets worse. Included in the contract was a year of pool cleaning services. The first month of service they send you the A team. The pool looks amazing after each cleaning. After that month here comes the F team. Guys that literally spend 5 minutes at your property and send a report that the pool is clean. I called the service department to complain only to be told "that is the standard time it takes to clean a pool." Frustration is building at this point. Next I get a phone call from service that says "if you want to use us for pool cleaning next summer it will be a $200 fuel charge PER VISIT because you are out of our area." I wasn't out of your area when you wanted six figures from me but now all of a sudden I'm too far to do business with? Lastly, Browning came to winterize the pool after the first season and drilled a hole right through one of the deck jet lines. Did the guy say anything? Absolutely not. We didn't find out until the next summer. I called Browning and told them what happened and I get told they will send a team out to look at it. Two guys alone out and they cannot fix it because it is under the pavers and concrete. They tell me they would let the service manager know and he would call me. I made calls to Browning for a year and even emailed the owner and never received a response. The feature was never fixed and Browning has never contacted me about me about making it right. If you are considering a pool or hot tub project you should not consider using this company.
