Pool Replaster Project and Pump Replacement
I can highly recommend Whale Pools. They did a very professional job replastering my pool and replacing an old existing pool punp with a new model. Very efficient and responsive getting a quote and organizing the project. Good supervision of the work crew and follow up. Timely completion.
Details: In ground • Outdoors • Chlorinated • Less than a week ago • Concrete • Non-functional pump

We had an excellent experience upgrading our 48 year old pool to have a first time heater. Whale Pools made it so easy and it was completed before it was scheduled to be done. The best part is our phone app which lets us manage our heater and previously installed variable speed pump. Whale Pools returned every call and answered every question we had. If I could give more stars than 5 I would. I will use Whale Pools on our next project.

I had several pool companies maintain and clean my pool over the years and they were all unreliable. They do not respond to inquiries and do shabby work. Whale Pools stand out above the rest. They show their work and take pride in it. Frank always and is quick in responding to inquiries and concerns. Very professional! I highly recommend Whale Pools!Look no further, choose Whale Pools!!!

I would leave six stars if it was possible. Whale Pools is very responsive and their online invoicing and payment system makes it very simple to keep records and pay timely. Recently, we were about to leave town for a week, when I noticed that the plumbing between my pump and filter was leaking. I texted Frank and he sent someone the next business day to fix it and restart my pool so I wouldn't come home to a mess. Thank you Whale Pools!
