Backyard Renovation

The contractors that originally did the landscaping work around our pool 15 years ago did a poor job and the stone was lifting to the point that it became a tripping hazard. Also, our 17 year old deck was starting to rot in places, so we decided it was time to renovate. Pool Craft looks after our pool openings and closings, and is there for us in the event of any emergency, and their sister company, Stone Craft, does their landscaping work. The owner, Jason, took stock of our ideas and came up with some suggestions that sounded good, so we had them do a design. When listening to him describe their construction techniques, we felt confident that they could do work that would last for many years to come. We basically had everything in the back yard removed except the pool, a cabana and one tree, with the work starting in late fall a year ago. Jason has two foremen who are incredibly talented and tremendously patient. Chris looked after the new composite deck we had installed, and Curtis was in charge of the stonework. We were so impressed with Chris’s work ethic and he had many ideas and suggestions that enhanced the look of the deck. The fact that Curtis spent so much time in prep work eased our minds as to how the stonework would turn out. And Jason was constantly available to ensure that all was running smoothly. They were so flexible and open to any changes that we thought would work better than originally planned. The stone suggested by Jason turned out to be spectacular, and the landscape lighting is gorgeous. We now have a backyard oasis that is a beautiful extension of our home. We ‘d recommend Pool Craft + Stone Craft to anyone considering new landscaping work, or a renovation, pool or no pool.

Pool and landscaping

From start to finish, Poolcraft was extremely efficient and professional. They could write a manual in small project management. Very impressed.
My project included a pool and granite patio and deck. All work was top notch.

Pool repair

This was the first time we've used Poolcraft and we only found them by referral...what a difference from the local pool stores!!
They were professional - they walked us through the process each time and successfully repaired our pool...finally!
It turns out we had been sold a sand filter for an above-ground pool...
We had a pool company close our hot tub for the winter one time when my husband was ill and the lines froze!!! We bought a new hot tub, but should have just had that one repaired. We were in a vulnerable position at the time. Wonderful service!!!

Inground Pool & Landscaping

We had a great experience with Pool Craft. From our first contact with Rick we immediately felt like we were being listened to. Throughout the design and planning stage they were always available to answer our questions, provide helpful suggestions, and put us at ease with the project.
The project was done in a timely manner and Chris was great with showing us how to take care of our pool through the pool school.

This was our first pool installation and everyone was very patient with us which we appreciated. Would highly recommend Pool Craft.

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.
