Pools for Home Design & Construction

Marc and his team were amazing! We shopped around and had 5 quotes. Marc was the one who sat with us and listened to our vision for a backyard oasis. And then his design was better than we could have envisioned.
Construction started in 1st wave of covid. Crew was polite and kind and respectful. Very clean worksite and responded kindly to our young kids who were keen to watch the progress. Marc was excellent about communicating with us and making adjustments mid-way as we encountered slight modifications. We are so thankful for the continued service from this company and we highly recommend them!

We received quotations from a few pool companies before selecting Pools for Home Design to build our pool. Their quotation was competitive, but it included higher quality equipment than the competitors. It was great that the owner (Marc) was our project lead throughout the entire project. He was on site most days and lead construction from start to finish. We love our pool/landscaping and we love the fact that we still deal directly with Marc and his team each week-end when we get our water tested at their facility. A great company and a great group of people. I would highly recommend them!

Purchased a new pool and landscaping about a year ago. Start to finish the service was outstanding and hit budget almost dead on. What you think you want and what you really want are probably two different things, so listen to Marc as he knows what he’s doing. You will not be disappointed using this company.

Our pool builder took off and left us in a bad situation. Marc came to our rescue! Great service, extremely knowledgeable and very timely response.
Thank you Marc for stepping up and saving our summer!
We highly recommend this company.

I have been working with Marc and Pools for Home for the past 14 years. In 2005, we installed an inground pool, which is still in fantastic condition today. In 2017, we revamped our backyard, complete with flagstone throughout, gas firepit, bbq center and outdoor cabana seating area. I can honestly say that Marc and his team were a pleasure to work with. Both projects were fairly large in scope and were completed on time. Quality of workmanship from his staff is very good however, Marc brings that extra attention to detail to ensure an excellent finished product. Marc is very responsive to his clients. He takes the time to answer countless questions and assist with information in order to make the right decision He is very approachable and has a hands on work ethic to ensure the job is being completed as promised. I continue to work with Marc for my pool openings/closings and overall maintenance. He is honest and dependable, so there is no reason to go anywhere else for this service. Thank you for truly caring about your clients!

Marc and his team do a great job - they’ve done 2 backyards for us, including all the above elements. They are on time and on budget. They are friendly, professional, creative, hard working and execute on the design flawlessly. They met and exceeded all expectations. Highly recommend them and would use them again!

Great company to work with. From the initial design to the finish project. This company was punctual every day of the project, they were accommodating when you wanted to add to the design but still tried to keep us in budget in doing so. Crew left the backyard tidy after every work day and the quality of work noted on the final touches. Marc and his crew really made our backyard oasis come true. I would highly recommend Pools for Home Design.

The late Spring of 2014, we completed our backyard project after 3 years of patiently waiting to find just the right pool company to work with. Marc at Pools For Home was the 6th pool contractor we met with, and from the moment we shook hands and first met, to the time our project was completed, we can honestly say it was nothing but positive, and the final result far exceeded our expectations. Marc was on site every day, and laid out a detailed plan for pricing and a project work-back schedule. Both were spot on, and the only changes to both were the result of my husband and I adding work to the initial scope. Marc and his team were extremely professional, polite and meticulous, and the quality of their work exceptional. Our entire project (walk-out deck rebuild, extensive patio and custom pool and firepit build), was completed in just over 5 weeks. Not only our next door neighbors, but neighbors several houses down on all sides commented on how, quick, tidy and courteous Marc and his team were. In fact, they were so impressed that 3 friends have since used Marc to complete their back yard projects. If we had the chance to do it all over again, we can honestly say we would not change one single thing. The only thing we are waiting for now is the cold weather to leave us so that we can open the pool and start enjoying it again!

We received a quote and plans for a pool about 2007 from a big commercial pool company in Oakville. We did not like the position of the pool in the backyard, the steps coming out of the house or the location of the pool equipment. We decided against putting in the pool and installed a decorative concrete patio instead. We figured our backyard was just not meant to have a pool.

Fast forward to August 2010, while driving in the neighborhood I spotted the Pools for Home trucks putting in a pool on a corner lot house just like ours. Out of curiosity, I stopped in to see the construction. The pool looked amazing. I loved the in-ground steps, flagstone border and patio stones. I wondered why the “other” company never told us about applying to the town for a variance, so that we could position the pool 5 feet from the property line instead of the required 12 feet (since we live on the corner lot).

It had to be about 40 degrees that day, the crew was working hard. Marc stopped what he was doing, to come and answer my endless questions about the pool. He gave me a 30 minute pool consultation on the spot! I could tell from the job he was doing, the work was very high quality, and might be out of our price range, but decided give my husband the information anyway.

Marc spent many hours at our house consulting with us on the design of the pool, BEFORE any contract was even signed. I think all of the preliminary work Marc did with us, not “on the clock” is what made us decide to hire Pools for Home. He drew up many variations of the plans, and tried to change as many things on paper…before they started to dig. We have a fairly small backyard, and he helped us to maximize the space we had to work with. He had no problem convincing my husband that is was OK to rip out the 3 year old decorative concrete to install the pool! He applied for all of the special permits we needed and attended the town meetings with my husband. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He uses and installs high quality materials and equipment. We were prepared to pay the little bit extra, compared to the other quotes we received. The end result was WELL worth it.

The crew always on time, professional and left the job site clean. Marc is always available to answer questions or concerns we have about the pool. He was there on-site from day one, until the job was complete. We have had a few minor glitches, and he is always there to fix them. Even on how to use that tricky remote to turn on the LED lights! We have had so many positive comments on out backyard, especially, our flagstone waterfall and border, in-ground steps and those cool LED lights! We are so happy that we decided to hire Pools for Home to create our backyard retreat. Our family has enjoyed it so much this summer! We would recommend PFH without hesitation. Thank you Marc and Pools for Home!

My wife and I put in a pool in 1999 with pools for home. This company was and still is phenomenal. to deal with. Marc promised my wife and myself a great backyard and he definately delivered on that. I would like potential customers to know that our pool as of today is still in mint condition. Our patterened concret still to this day has NO cracks in it and looks awesome. We will be putting a new liner in next year because after 12 years it is time. I will only be calling Marc to do this for us because I know it will be done right. Over the twelve years that we have had our pool, any time we had an issue, I would call Marc and his service wae awesome. Just this past weekend we had an issue with one of our valves by the pool equipment leaking because of age. I called and left Marc a message and asked if he could swing by this week and fix it for us. He was there the next day. If you want a pool that will be built to last with excellent after service, I would call Pools for Home. If we ever move Marc would be the guy putting in our next pool. I can honestly say that and we have had this pool for twelve years. Steve and Caroline V in Oakville
