Mark and his team renovated and updated our 75 year old in ground pool and did a fantastic job. From start to finish and now in maintenance, they are professional and skilled. Highly recommended!
I saw on their website that they’re booked out over a year. I sent a message that I was looking to renovate my pool in a couple of years. ‘Mary Jo’ in the office called me and said they are booked out over a year and will not come out to look at my pool. I asked how do I get on their schedule to come out and plan? I was told to call back next year…I called Pools by Murphy in Durham and they are in the same situation, booked out to next year…BUT they are coming out next week to look at my pool so we can plan accordingly. Long story, short…save yourself some time and avoid calling Pools Etc.
If you have a general question they do not provide tel support...at least not unless you know who to leave a message with. Maybe they don't need the business?
