T&D and Vera is the best Sales person and one of the nicest humans I have ever met.

T&D is my recommendation also. I worked with 5 different contractors to get a pool built earlier this year, pricing was competitive between all but it came down to more than price. T&D was turnkey, everything taken care of as part of the package price, the others I would have had to take care of the fence, sprinklers, lawn, etc. Some it was like buying a car with all the discounts and deals, etc. T&D is straight forward, it's in their pricing spreadsheet, and is what it is, no "special deals".

T&D are difficult to get an appointment, 2 month wait, but worth it.

Look for complaints on the various builders on TOTV, few and far between, not so for others.

Construction on our new pool started last week and is expected to take 10 weeks, weather permitting, which as of today isn't.

Hands down T&D. Their customer care and responsiveness is excellent. Each day the workers accomplished quite a bit of work. There was no down time, or waiting for a sub to do his/her part.

Ten weeks to build a pool though? Is this common?

It depends. How much pool and cage you contract for.

T and D also added pool bath for us. Two different brothers and two different operations in one company. T and D.

VERY satisfied.

No. I don't work for them or get kick back. First pool of our lives. Lovin' it.

We too used T&D. We also highly recommend.

Our neighbors used another local company that specializes in pools. They gave a deposit at contract signing, then waited three months for the project to actually begin. They were surprised by three stops during the project, where they were told they would have to hire another contractor or contractors to do parts of the project that weren't included. After starting, lots of days and sometimes weeks where no work was done. They got a nice pool. About 90% of what they wanted, the way they wanted. But a long, less than satisfactory experience.

We used Fiesta Pools. Very pleased with the price, quality and timeliness of installation.

A reputable installer can be done in 8-10 weeks for pool and screen enclosure. There are horror stories on this site of installers taking WAY LONGER.

Make sure the company was not in business under another name. If it was sunshine pools, walk away!
