It seems almost strange to have everything go exactly as it was scheduled to go, but that is exactly the way our pool went. We have already referred several people to your company. I really like the new color and look. It's like a brand new pool to me and we are looking forward to using it for many years to come.

With a career that began on a crew based in Oregon that constructed and renovated swimming pools across the Pacific Northwest, Jim Schmidt learned early what makes pools fail and knew he could provide a higher quality product. Jim moved to Boise and founded C.H.I. in 1984. In 2005 we were privileged to be invited to join the Aquatech Society of Professional Pool Builders.

I have had them come out to my home several times for pool repair and maintenance for minor repairs to the pool plumbing to a burst pipe under the concrete. All work was completed very timely and professionally and at a very reasonable price. They can be a challenge to reach sometimes but as a fellow small business in the area, it can be extremely challenging to keep up with all of the phone calls and requests for work in the valley. I would absolutely recommend them to anybody and will continue to use their services.

Update based on March 2021 repair work: 20+ year pool plaster company removed all plaster and found the bonding layer for the plaster was not properly prepared for adherence and some of the concrete they used to build up top portion had pieces of plastic in it and was crumbling!!!
Really disappointed in Jim. 5 years ago he provided a quote, which then was completed 4 years ago when the overall home was finished to overhaul our gunite pool (replaster, squared corners, new plumbing, lights, equipment, auto cover, etc.) but now that all the plaster is cracking he blames it on his subcontractor who

Reading from the other reviews I'm not too shocked that I've called 3 times now to get a bid to do a pool for next year (2021) and have received no call back from "Jim". On 3 different occasions over the last 2 months I've called C.H.I pools to get a quote. I talk to the receptionist lady on the phone who assures me this time Jim will call me back, and still nothing. I certainly don't want to do business with someone who doesn't return my calls before even getting my money. If you want to run a successful business you should probably return calls..or fire your receptionist who isn't forwarding

We had Jim build our pool in the fall of 2018. He and his crew were pleasant to work With during construction. We had a few disagreements on some of the charges along the way. Change orders were not written up so we were shocked at additional charges towards the end of the build. ( to avoid conflict we paid in full) When we wanted issues addressed it was hard to get a timely response. Communication was not great. However our biggest complaint is that our first season with the pool several coping stones began to pop off and grout was crumbling into the pool. Jim sent someone out to fix it and the

We had a 20X40 pool constructed by CHI Aquatech. We found during the entire process that patience was important because they tend to be too optimistic with their scheduling. The most troubling is that unless you are planning on a state of the art, huge pool in Sun Valley, you will find yourself at the bottom of the company's importance level.
At the time of this review, we are mostly happy with the basic construction job. We had them pour a concrete patio during the pool build. It has major cracks in several places. The pool itself is so far crack free. Our pool has an automatic pool cover

Called and asked for someone to come give an estimate to build a pool. Jim came to my home and we talked for about an hour. When he left, I gave him my email address to send the estimate to. About a week and a half went by but no estimate. I called to inquire about the estimate and was told by Jim that he got the impression that it was too expensive when he "ball parked it"!!! He then went on to say that "people" from California come here and expect to get a pool for 20K and there are pool builders who will build a pool for that fee but he was not one of them. The take
