Our pool is in its first phase of construction. Geep has been fantastic to work with from a design/sales/selection perspective. Ed had been responsive and involved in all the construction details that I keep bothering him with.
Pool is dug, formed and passed inspection on first round. Couldn’t be more pleased... our schedule is one week ahead of promised and I’m hoping to report soon that it stayed that way
will keep you posted!

Fox Pools did a full custom job for us around a year ago (Oct 2019). Little did we know then that we’d be in quarantine months later and how much use the pool would get when going out to crowded public places became off limits. The craftsmanship, quality, responsiveness and professionalism of the Fox Pools team was truly a delight during a process that would have otherwise been very stressful.
I was referred to Fox Pools through a friend and I’m forever grateful for that!
Id recommend Fox Pools to anyone in the Sarasota area looking to build their dream pool!

Fox Pools did a fantastic job with our pool. They worked closely with us to select the proper equipment that would match our needs and the features that we desired in the pool. As we modified the design, Fox quickly made adjustments to the design and the quote. Construction was extremely quick and efficient and explanations on the process were very helpful to us since we had never built a pool. The equipment selection was all from Pentair and guidance was provided on equipment selection that maximized performance without adversely impacting the cost. A remote monitoring and control system was installed

We can't say enough positive things about Fox Pools! They came to our rescue, when most other pool companies wouldn't and helped us finish our pool project when we found out our pool contractor went bankrupt. They were extremely responsive, professional and finished our pool quickly! I would highly recommend Fox Pools to ANYONE looking for a pool. Our neighbors were so impresssed with the quality and service they gave us that they just signed a pool contract with them as well!
Thank you!

Love our Fox Pool. They hire some of the best subs and really treat their employees right. We had some breakdowns in communication, but we had a custom pool with misc changes. Would definitely use them again.

Spoke with Judy left our name and number for an estimate and a date here we are three days later still waiting. This is already a red flag for me plus the negative reviews here on yelp.

I'll take my business and my money elsewhere.

When we decided to build a pool I started to research. Fox Pools was the only company I could find in our area with an A+ BBB rating and they had no negative reviews
From the first day I knew I had made the right choice. Their Sales Rep, Merle, called me back the same day, in fact within less than half an hour to set up a consultation.
We set up a plan and a target date for beginning the project. The process started right on time and was finished within the paramaters we were given.
Every contractor that worked for Fox Pools were effecient, professional, polite and cleaned up after themselves

I purchased a home in Sarasota two years ago. The home was built in 2006 but the pool was installed in 2016 about three or four months before we closed. The previous owners/investors added this feature. A month ago the pool developed a leak. I contacted the contractor, Fox Pools, and spoke with the owner Ed. He was very pleasant and seemed concerned. He even came out to check the pool. After a few weeks, continually adding water was no longer an option. I called a leak detection company. They found a leak at the main wall drain, it was not sealed properly when constructed. They repaired the leak

I recently hired Fox Pools to service my pool. A few weeks into the service I asked if they could put in a figure 4 handrail for me. I had researched the handrails and I knew they were under $200. Fox Pools came back to me and said they wanted $750 to install a hand rail. This didn't sound right so I called two other respected pool companies and each quoted me the same amount, $475. So I went back to Fox pools and asked for a detailed estimate itemizing the $750 so I could see what the difference was.
They never got back to me with one. Instead, when pressed, they just said there was a lot of

Fox Pools does great work. Ed and his team have great pictures and testimonials from past customers to share. I'd highly recommend them for any custom pool work. Whether it is for deck and paver options, pool safety, or a completly new pool.
