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.
The process began with an initial consultation where their team provided valuable insights and suggestions, helping to shape our ideas into a practical and beautiful design.
Throughout the project, the team maintained excellent communication. They kept me informed about each stage of the construction process and were always available to answer my questions. Their professionalism and dedication to customer satisfaction were evident in every interaction.
The construction phase was executed flawlessly. The team adhered to the timeline and managed the project with precision and care. I was impressed with their attention to detail and the quality of workmanship. The site was always clean and organized, and the crew was respectful and courteous.
The final result exceeded my expectations and is stunning. The craftsmanship is impeccable, and the materials used are of the highest quality. The landscaping around the pool was also beautifully done, creating a serene and inviting atmosphere.
Even after the pool was completed, Dolphin Pools continued to provide outstanding service. They offered a thorough orientation on pool maintenance and have been responsive to any follow-up questions. It’s clear that they stand behind their work and are committed to ensuring their customers are completely satisfied.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dolphin Pools to anyone considering building a pool. Their expertise, professionalism, and commitment to excellence are truly unmatched.
Our home is now listed for sale and I look forward to building another pool with Dolphin Pools!
