Darren and his company literally saved the day for us. We had started a pool building project 11 months ago with another company that did not fulfill their contract. Luckily, my wife was able to track down A Veterans Pool Company. Darren did everything with the city in order to work in our area within hours of us speaking. He was back out at our house the next day with a crew ready to work. We had been waiting on the other company for several months to finish what Darren and his company finished in a couple of weeks. I wouldnt work with another company other than A Veterans Pool Company again

We asked Darren to help us with remodeling our pool. His team did a great job. We ran into a hickup in that the air ports for the hot accidentally got covered up. Darren addressed the problem and made it right. I would definitely use a veteran pool company again!

My wife and I are first time pool owners and had wanted to add some decking to our existing pool but couldnt get anyone to come out and give us an estimate so I called Darren and he said that he could come by that night. We gave him our vision of what we were looking for and he also had some great ideas. We signed a contract and they started work 2 days later. Darren and his crew were great to work with from start to finish of the project and they kept us involved throughout the entire process. We would recommend Darren and his company to anyone that is looking to have their pool area renovated

They did such a wonderful job let me tell you, I am a very brand new pool owner, and dont know much about pool maintenance. He helped me get ready for that crazy ice storm that we had. I got through it miraculously with no damages and power for two days!! He is always there and available to help you out with any problems that come up in the project. If you need your pool remodeled or serviced I would definitely recommend them no questions about it!! Keep up the good work!
