So far we are in the excavation stage. Ernesto and Troy were the men sent out to dig. They were professional and always ready to answer questions. They were precise in their dig. Not until after they had left did I notice that they even spread out a small amount of leftover base rock as a path so that we could access our storage shed without walking in the mud.

Gary Pools did a great job on our pool. Our PM was Steve L. He was very responsive and sent us weekly updates on what our next steps were. He was quick to answer our questions too. Our designer was Joe B., and he also did a great job. If you want a pool, book it soon! Ours took 10 months to complete from the day we signed papers. Overall, we’re pleased with the outcome. If I had it to do over again, the biggest request I would make is that the designer and the PM meet with us on site to discuss potential issues prior to construction starting. We can’t wait for some hot weather to really enjoy

After researching a number of pool builders, we settled on Gary Pools. John came out, took a look at our yard, and has helped us every step of the way in designing the backyard we always wanted. The pool layout was everything we wanted. In the design studio, John and Ashley helped us detail our pool to make it the backyard vacation spot we were looking for. Thank you John and Ashley for great customer service!!!

Through our pool design process with Robert F. he listened to what we wanted and made changes along the way til we got to the finished product. During our build Matt P. was awesome in communication and letting us know what was going on every step of the way. Whenever there was an issue he always made sure it was taken care of. With it being a build you’re always going to have chances of issues so even with any fixes, repairs or issues we needed taken care of after construction Katelyn has been been amazing in getting things taken care of quickly and again communication has been great.

Had some warranty work done by RJ and he went above and beyond what was expected. He came in and not only fixed the issues, but also found and fixed other "small" issues that I had no idea about. He took the time to come back and make sure the pool was clean and balanced before leaving for good. His hard work and attention to detail really put my mind at ease during this process.

Gary Pools still live up to their reputation! They just completed our pool. From the designer, Caleb Jenkins to the project manager Matt Pompa, we have nothing but great things to say. The staff was responsive and answered every question and concern we had. Be mindful that a swimming pool takes time to build so exercise patience. We have a small yard with a narrow entrance and Gary Pools’ contractors left minimal damage to the yard. They came back after the heavy construction and cleaned so well one could hardly tell they were here. Communication and service was impeccable. Jason Ortega finished

The crew and employees at Gary Pools are professional, personable and very knowledgeable. From our salesman Pete Herrera to Steve Project manager to Brandon Cunningham Assist Project Manager and Joshua Pool School. Everyone was responsive and easy to communicate with. The craftsmanship and design was spot on. We had weekly updates from the day we broke ground to the end. Great customer service! Highly recommend Gary Pools!

Loved our new pool cleaning guy! Blake is excellent and hardworking. He not only checks the levels of our pool but also spent time scrubbing and detailing areas that needed our attention. He communicates well, great eye contact, and was enthusiastic about his job. It was refreshing to see someone that took pride in their job!

Service call: Andy arrived on time, identified the problem, applied the solution, fixed the problem. Then he gave me a strong block of instruction to elevate my ability to run my pool more efficiently and with less trouble.
Highly professional. Very positive customer experience.
Highly recommend Gary, and Andy in particular, if you need service.

We hired Gary Pools to construct our pool which is what I am extremely pleased with, however during the construction the concrete stairs were not designed to standard and the construction team made a very disappointing attempt to repair. The pool was done before COVID and now that business has opened up we have flagstone steps literally cracking falling apart. They have made 2 attempts to fix and now we have to wait for someone else to come and fix. They refuse to completely demo and repair and we are still waiting. Let me be fair here the pool is great, but the steps if completed by subcontractors

From the phone conversation to the time he came out to our house, Chris was an absolute pleasure to work with.
Unfortunately we couldn't proceed with an in ground pool due to several things going on in our backyard but I'd still recommend him because he's knowledgeable and very professional. Thanks Chris

We've been very happy with our experience thus far with Gary Pools and our design rep, Chris Freeman. Within two days of coming out for the initial visit for an estimate, he had a beautiful design pulled together for us based on our vision and wants. We had a lot of questions and worked in some changes... Chris is super responsive, flexible and always professional. He worked hard to get us within our budget while incorporating as many of the design elements we are wanting for our backyard oasis. We Definitely recommend this company and especially Chris as your sales rep. He stays in touch

We initially chose Gary pools because we had previously worked with Pete Herrera, our designer and was happy with his skill and ability in providing us with what worked with us, our lifestyle and our budget. Our pool was designed for our new home that we were building, so with that said, I have recently dealt with many contractors and subcontractors. I found that every one that we worked with from Gary pools was superior in every way. Carlos and his crew were great during the excavation phase, they were on schedule and careful with the surrounding structures. Matt was excellent throughout the

Buyer beware!! We have had three leaks in four years. I mistakenly thought their product would be strong since they have been in San Antonio for decades and that they were comparable to Keith Zars. I was wrong. I have huge regrets. The salesman/designer was great, the engineering and construction were absolutely terrible. Perhaps the materials are cheap and faulty as well. For this big of a purchase, do not choose Gary Pools.

After recently completing construction on our dream pool, we quickly noticed an unfortunate leak coming out of the spa area. I called the service department and they were able to get us on the schedule within the next few days. Keith was our service tech and his first words were "I've never seen this before." that didn't sound too promising... after a few minutes of doing a dye test, he was able to pinpoint a small hole in the grout between 2 tiles where it wasn't totally sealed. It was a very quick fix that he was able to do there without having to go back and return a

Your pool technician, James, is horrible. He does not know what he is doing and cannot clean a pool correctly. Due to his negligence, I broke out in a rash while swimming in my family member's pool and had to go to the doctor and get medicine. When she tried to talk to him about her pool not being properly cleaned, he started arguing with her in the middle of the street! He began yelling at HER because he didn't think he was doing a bad job and refused to even listen to her complaint. I hope your other technicians don't have this attitude! I will never recommend your service to anyone

I would like to thank Gary's Pool for their wonderful job done for the construction of our pool that was completed March 2018. It is our dream to have a pool and enjoy it for many years. The design and end product of our pool is amazing. It is therefore a great investment that is worth the money. Jason has been very helpful in every steps of the way. They even fixed the surrounding in our neighbor's yard in no time. The company's presence in this business will guarantee that their work is excellent.

Do NOT use Gary's Pool to either build your pool or service it. The plaster job done on our pool was pathetic. They've been out twice to fix it but have only sanded down the plaster to the gunite. That does nothing but weaken the plaster thus shortens the life. We will have this legally addressed.
Secondly, the service performed has done nothing but create other problems with the salt cell and panel, the filter and the pump.
Do your research. There are other companies. This was our second pool by Gary Pool and the first one was great over 30 years ago. The quality has definitely

The pool company is not that bad to deal with. It's everyone else that turns buying a pool from them a nightmare.
The contractor that installed the pool was impossible to ever get ahold of.
They use the most expensive concrete contractor I've ever heard of. Be ready to spend $12 per square foot for the extra concrete you want(average price is $3-$4). On top of that it'll take them a month after the pool install to even start.
