The company says it has been in business 35 years and serves 15 towns including Bethel, Danbury, Newtown and Ridgefield. A recent customer says L&J Pools built their inground pool over 20 years ago and has since helped with openings, water deliveries, equipment repairs, upgrades and routine maintenance. A 2024 customer said Jim, Jim Jr. and Tony built a new gunite pool over their existing 16x32. That 2024 customer said the company looked out for them during a long permit process with the City of Danbury. A 2024 customer said the company had been great to work with on pool openings, closings and minor repairs for over 15 years, and called it reasonably priced. A 2022 customer who ordered a pool water delivery said the driver helped with a small problem with their pool install. A 2022 customer said Jim Sr. came out and that the company was flexible as they made changes during construction. A 2021 customer said the company opened their pool and left the mechanicals leaking, and that a new service tech blew DE over their pool and patio. That 2021 customer said the company charged to clean up the mess before refunding the charge after they complained, and billed $140 an hour for every person on the job, including packing and travel time. A 2022 customer said a manager, possibly named Jim, was rude to them over an invoice question.
