Pool

We chose Backyard Getaways three years ago to build our family pool and have not regretted our decision for one moment! John was honest with us from the onset in selling us our pool and Reg and the team were professional and courteous in the build. We are thrilled with the final product and have had three wonderful summers enjoying our beautiful backyard oasis.
The best part of choosing Backyard Getaways is the continued service their customers receive. Any questions or problems we have had in the maintenance of our pool have been dealt with promptly and efficiently. We continue to feel confident in our relationship with Backyard Getaways and are happy to recommend them to any one thinking of taking the plunge!

Thanks to Backyard Getaways, we now have our very own private oasis to enjoy with our children, family and friends. The team at Backyard Getaways are a group of professional, hard-working, dedicated individuals who are eager to please and worked day after day to ensure a timely yet pristine end result. Their passion and devotion to reproduce my vision into something tangible was remarkable. This began with the process of meeting with us in the preliminary stages to produce a computed visual concept of the finished project. It is still striking to me how accurate the visual concept is to the real thing now that a comparison can be made. John and Regi are knowledgeable and experienced individuals who were able to guide us in making decisions when we felt unsure or overwhelmed with the possibilities available to us. The team made certain to work in a discreet manner in an effort to avoid disturbing the neighbours. Gestures like washing our neighbours driveways and sweeping the road after a day of work were certainly appreciated by everyone on the street. The strive and aim for perfection was also noted by us on several occasions where we would observe the team fussing about the trivial things i.e., positioning of trees and rocks in an effort to make it look right for the customer. Overall, we have no regrets about our decision of hiring Backyard Getaways and would highly recommend them to anyone interested in turning their backyard space into a private getaway.

Our decision to select BYG to create our Backyard Getaway was not only the best decision, but an easy one. 3 other homeowners in our subdivision used BYG, and all 3 had very positive experiences and results. A fourth homeowner that we contacted told us that they “wished we had used a company like BYG”. We also met with 2 other contractors, but they couldn’t give us the same level of comfort and confidence that BYG could. With some guidance from us, BYG’s designer hit a home run on the first draft of the pool and landscaping design. The digital 3D rendering was a nice touch which allowed us to really visualize what the final product would look like, and it’s amazing how close the plan and actual are. BYG Sales took good care of us by working with us to meet our budget constraints, navigating through the permit process and selecting the materials. The construction team was prompt, professional, courteous and very patient in answering our endless questions. The actual construction took slightly longer than planned, but that was a direct result of their flexibility in accommodating our last minute design changes on the fly, their attention to detail and philosophy of doing it right the first time. Our neighbours really appreciated how thoroughly they cleaned up the job site and street every night before going home. Family, friends and neighbours all agree, the end result is beautiful and impressive. However, ensuring our satisfaction and happiness didn’t end there – after sales service has also been a positive experience and maintenance is minimal. We’ve only had the pool for one season, but already the enjoyment and memories are priceless (especially with the kids!). BYG has truly met our expectations in all facets of the project and we will continue to recommend them to anyone looking to create their own Backyard Getaway.

Swimming pool service

I ended up buying a house with a swimming pool in the back yard. I was very hesitant at first about the swimming pool but I decided to call up Backyard Getaway Inc. and they dropped by and told me how easy it was to manage my pool. I decided on giving it a shot as my kids were begging me that we should keep it and Backyard Getaway has made my life easy helping us manage it.

Inground pool - spa - waterfall - cabana - landscaping - pool deck

We had other companies quote on the project, however the staff at Backyard Getaways were most professional and helpful in the design and budgeting of the overall project. As with any project this size, inevitably some things will go wrong, however our concerns were either taken care of immediately or within a couple of days. We were kept informed of the progress of our project as we had a specific completion date. We were extremely happy with the outcome and as a result we are now working with them on another project.

What could this company do to improve their services?
If there is we certainly cannot think of any - lol
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?
We had split up the project giving another company the decks and fencing and we wish we didn't - If we had gone with Backyard Getaways for the complete project it would have went alot smoother although the staff at Backyard Getaways went out of there way to accomodate the other contractor.

Dear Bob and Debbie,

Thank you so much for your business and for taking the time to let us know how we did. I am pleased to hear that everything went according to plan and that any minor issues were taken care of immediately. As you know, we strive to deliver the best quality and service in the industry. I saw a picture of the finished project and it looks great! I had a hard time distinguishing between the 3D computer model and the actual completed photo. I enjoyed dealing with you both and found you both to be very open, honest and strait-forward in all of our dealings. Thank you so much again for everything and we are all looking forward to working with you very soon on project number two. I saw the designs and it looks great! I hope you have a wonderful winter and wish you a Happy Holiday season. Sincerely, John Petrocelli.

Pool and Patio

Utmost professionalism. Family owned business who care about their clients. Utmost professionalism from quote, design and build. John, Reg and their dad are terrific people and their crew (not subs) showed up every day. Questions always answered in timely manner and we were consulted every step of the way. Their work is terrific, customer service outstanding and would highly recommend their services to prospective pool purchasers. In this day and age it's refreshing to know people still care and take pride in the work they do.

My wife and I were extremely thourough when we investigated companies who could realize the vision we had for our backyard. Bar none, Backyard Getaways was the perfect choice. From start to finish both John and Regi were consultative, patient, diligent in adhering to their schedule, and most importantly delivered the promised value for which we paid. Thank you Backyard Getaways!

We are very happy with the entire Backyard Getaways Inc experience. Backyard Getaways built our pool, spa and concrete decking a few years back and we are very pleased with the end result. We have them open, close and service our pool too. The staff and crew are always very accommodating.

Pool construction and maintenance

We have been extremely pleased with our service from Backyard Getwaways. Through our beginning consultation with John, to the construction, overseen by Reggi, and all of our follow-up mantenance with Daphne we have received nothing but superb support. John helped us with permit issues during his holidays and spent numerous hours trying to figure out solutions to problems that would have halted the process completely. Regi responds immediately to all questions no matter how repetitive or silly. Daphne's expertise allows our pool to run problem free. Thanks to BYG staff our family has a beautiful pool with an awesome concrete deck. Our family has enjoyed two spectacular summers in a pool that was designed to meet our needs and requirements. Getting a pool? Hire them!!
