Read what our satisfied customers have to say about their experiences with Dolphin Pools, where exceptional design, quality craftsmanship, and outstanding service come together to create stunning backyard oases.
Met with Tony in my home a few weeks ago and we were blown away. We received several in home quotes and Tony stood out among them all. He was prompt, professional and best of all friendly. We never felt like we were being “sold to” which was key. He gave us so much detail and helped guide us thru the unknown. It was an easy choice to go with Dolphin and it was primarily because of Tony.
Jake Wozniak was knowledgeable and super helpful with all of my questions and concerns when it came to the pool building process!
Andrew came over for our consultation and went through everything! All our worries and questions were answered. We are super excited to hopefully get our little dream pool that will be perfect for our family and small backyard! They have unbeatable prices and quality work!
Ted Jimenez has been very helpful and patient in our pool buying experience, he knew we had a budget but still made it fun.
We had Dolphin install and build our first pool during the summer of 2023. Our salesman, Joe, was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable and designed our pool to our satisfaction. One year later, Joe is helpful with answering questions . Trevor, our building superintendent, was great as well and communicated details of the pool building process. Tania was great at communicating next steps in the pool build. Approximately one year later, Dolphin has been great on answering or fixing any concerns. Maria has been outstanding and patient and quick to address our concerns. She’s been fantastic. If I ever were to build another pool or recommend (my next door neighbor built his pool with Dolphin), I would go with or recommend Dolphin Pools.
This is our 2nd Dolphin pool, we wont use anyone else! This last pool, Jake Wozniak and the Dolphin team were with us every step and they did a great job! I would hear how some folks in the neighborhood felt left out with their builders but we didn’t feel this way with Dolphin. We knew what was happening and when. On the rare occasion, we had some issues, Jake was quick to respond and get us the answers or help we needed.
Dolphin Pools transformed our backyard into an oasis! We knew the steep slope and rocky terrain were going to be difficult to contend with, but Dolphin was always right there with a solution. Everyone, from the incredible office staff to the field supervisors, was friendly and communicative. Anyone who has ever undertaken an overwhelming construction job will tell you communication is key!
On that note, our family would like to extend a huge "Thank you!" To Jake Wozniak. His professionalism and courtesy were second to none. While Jake was not our direct field super, he was our point of contact when unexpected challenges arose. He was patient, and he made sure that our final product was beautiful and functional. We also want to give an extended shout out to Jonathan, the mason/artisan who crafted our massive retaining wall. He was always thinking ahead to what we would need after the project was finished. His insights and suggestions turned a necessary element into an aesthetically pleasing attraction. It is no surprise that Jake and Jonathan have a great working relationship.
Last, but certainly not least, we want to thank all of the wonderful office and construction staff who helped turn our vision into a reality. Joe, Trevor, Brenda, Gloria, Tania, Katie, Maria, Gina, and Jake: Thank you for all of your tireless efforts! This project was our unattainable dream, and you each played a part in bringing it to life. Your combined talents transformed our yard, and our lives, in less than six months time. Thank you! It was a pleasure working with each and every one of you.
