Backyard pool, patio, built in BBQ, other lux features

From our intake meetings to the after-care, Jason, Chris, Curtis and team were terrific. Experienced and professional, they worked to our often exacting standards and delivered a stunning custom job. Highly recommended.

Poolcraft Rocks!

From the moment we met Rick and Chris, we knew we were in good hands. They're great and we love our pool and new oasis! Their communication is excellent and we were kept up to date on progress and what was happening at all times.
With a project this size, people warned us about what a "nightmare" the process this would be. Our experience was vastly different, and even if there were hiccups, they were quickly rectified. We would highly recommend!

new pool in Aurora

We are first time pool owners, and I have to say that our experience with Pool Craft has been amazing from our first contact with Jason all the way to our recently completed 'Pool School' session with Chris. Through the entire process, we were ALWAYS afforded all the time we needed to decide on issues and details along the way. We have numerous friends that have told us horror stories about their pool installations over the years - which just makes Pool Craft that much more rewarding to deal with. They have a no BS approach to everything, and we appreciate it. We highly recommend this company, and a special salute to Chris K for his incredible service while taking care of us every step of the way.

Exceeded expectations - design, quality, service

​We engaged Poolcraft to design and build a complete backyard retreat, including an upper deck, lower patio, and pool. Throughout the entire process, we received outstanding, professional service. The Poolcraft team was responsive, and worked in concert to keep the project moving right from the beginning. Additionally, Rick and Chris shared a wealth of practical information to help guide us through the process.

During the design stage, Poolcraft's designer worked with us to create a beautiful and functional space. Rick and his team took care of the permits, and before we knew it, it was "dig day". Construction went smoothly, and we are still pleasantly surprised by the lack of complication or stress. As with any renovation, there are always unforeseen events, however Poolcraft guided us through them with ease. At completion, Chris hosted "Pool School", and extended an invitation for us to reach out at any time for follow up questions. [Much appreciated, as we are novice pool owners :) ] Rick followed up with us post-construction to ensure all was well. We feel these actions speak highly of how Poolcraft conducts business.

Based on our experience, Poolcraft is dedicated to quality craftsmanship and customer satisfaction. When you purchase a custom pool, they not only take into consideration good design, but also function. Overall, Poolcraft more than delivered, and we are thrilled with the outcome. (We still can't believe we own such a gorgeous retreat!)

We would not hesitate to recommend Poolcraft to anyone.

Amazing from start to finish!

I want to preface this review by apologizing for its length but, a pool is a significant investment and certainly warrants a bit more depth. Our Pool Craft experience in a word, was AWESOME! I hope my review reflects what a positive experience we had with working with them.

Over the past couple years, my wife and I were considering an inground pool for our back yard. I spent a fair bit of time researching various companies but landed on Pool Craft based on positive feedback from our landscape designer. As it turns out, we met a couple other families through community engagements who shared their very positive experiences about their Pool Craft pools which sealed it for us. If you've spent any time reading various pool company reviews you'll quickly realize there are a ton of horror stories - not Pool Craft. Pool Craft was one of the few pool companies who didn't have any 'horror story' reviews - they were all positive.

Having never owned a pool, our salesperson Rick spent a considerable amount of time walking us through everything. Rick was the consummate professional and at no point did we ever feel pressured. What most impressed me during the pre-sales process was the confidence they had in their work. A lengthy list of references was provided to us up front, along with the offer to visit however many Pool Craft installed pools we desired. Throughout the process we made a number of modifications to width, length etc which surely would test the patience of anyone. Rick's patience, responsiveness and professionalism was incredible.

Prior to putting a shovel in the ground, Pool Craft assigned a Project Manager (Chris) who spent an enormous amount of time going through the process and what we should expect at each stage - from the dig to the installation of the liner. Chris would check in with us daily with an update on what they were doing and what their plans were the following day. Chris was an incredible and unexpected service that provided us with a ton of value.

The construction of the pool was astonishingly efficient. The hole was dug, metal frame and cement installed, plumbing, electrical, coping was all completed in 5 days! Pool Craft has a team for each aspect of the build and they executed flawlessly. With respect to the workmanship, it is impeccable. We used Pool Craft's electrician and gas fitter for the installation and both were excellent. My father is a retired master electrician and was really impressed with the electrical work as it was meticulous, clean and all labeled.

Tomorrow we're getting our liner, water and start-up. Chris has already scheduled a couple hours with us to attend what he calls "Pool School" where we'll learn all the aspects of pool ownership - Again, going above and beyond our expectations.

I honestly can't say enough about the folks at Pool Craft. My wife and I would unequivocally recommend Pool Craft in a heartbeat…in fact, we already recommended them to our neighbors who are looking to install a pool in 2019. We already happily have added our names to the list of reference they can call upon as a customer reference.

Will update the photos once the liner is in!

Great Service, Great People, Great Work!

We bought a house with a pool about 7 years ago. Even though I grew up with a pool my entire life, I still didn't recognize that amount of effort required to maintain one. Especially one that had been as neglected as ours—we inherited many challenges!

Finding Pool Craft was a god send!! They are incredibly responsive, professional, honest and they truly know everything there is to know about pools!!

The level of personalized support and care they show for their clients is unparalleled. Right from the top down, Jason, Cassidy, Geoff, Rick and the rest of the team, you have been amazing!!

Thank you for your level of care and saving our asses from catastrophe on many occasions.

It is without hesitation that I recommend Pool Craft guys to anyone looking to design, build or simply service a pool!!

Thanks you Pool Craft!

All the best from the Clark family!!

Great Company! Great people!

Pool Craft installed our pool in 2012 and did a fabulous job! They were organized, detail oriented, friendly and were quick to follow-up on any questions or concerns we had. The pool looks fabulous and we liked the Pool Craft team so much that we asked them to continue to maintain our pool. I would definitely recommend them for your pool installation and maintenance needs.

Pool install and backyard landscape

Our dream backyard is now a reality thanks to Pool Craft and it’s incredible team. It started with meeting Rick in sales, who is so knowledgeable, friendly and patient. He listened carefully and then answered every question. He was also present through the whole process. Landscape design was incredible working with the city to get our permit in a new housing development. Thanks Dana. Chris and his install team were extraordinary. They were professional and efficient and so very nice. The install was flawless. Mike and Daryl our landscape “dream team” came in for stonework, landscaping and so much more. The end result is nothing short of amazing. These guys want perfection and that is what you get (all done with a smile).Even our fence is beautiful. We have had four pools installed over the years and no company has come close to Pool Crafts wonderful job. This fantastic company really cares about their clients. They have so much pride in their work. If you want great results this is the company you want. We just want to thank everyone at Pool Craft for working together to make our dream come true...we love it...thanks again to everyone.

Backyard Project

We wanted to create a living space in our backyard that aloowed us to relax on a nice summer evening and have the option to host family or friends on a weekend as well. After searching many companies online, We decided to contact Pool Craft and a few other reputable companies. I must mention that Pool Craft was the fastest to respond and that prompt and professional service from the start was continued throughout our entire experience. From the designer, the construction crew that built the pool, to the project manager and all the way through to the office staff, Pool Craft always remained honest and professional. We could really feel that Pool Craft was as passionate about the project as we were. We wanted a perfect little backyard oasis and Pool Craft helped us create it which is why I would recommend them to anyone looking to create their own outdoor living space.

Thanks Pool Craft Team
