Absolutely the very best... They are very professional and customer oriented. We had no problems passing every inspection, which was awesome. Custom Pools was able to build our pool in no time and headache free. We could not be any happier...

My pool just passed the final inspection 6/23/16 with flying colors. These guys are professionals and surprisingly fast. Our pool was ready in 7 weeks. Reliable and trustworthy. I did my research before signing the contract and they are spot on with their statements of reliability. Perhaps I paid more when compared with other estimates, but in my experience with them a few more thousands are worth having the project completed and without head aches. John is awesome, inspections went great, neat work. Highly recommend this pool contractor, even the inspectors had great things to say about them.

Too bad there is not a 6 star, because Custom Pools definitely deserves that rating! This company is absolutely amazing and I would recommend it hands down to anyone thinking of building a pool, renovating, or any other swimming pool or spa needs you may have. I recently finished the pool in my house with a different company (I'm actually being generous by calling it a company because it is a joke of a business and they should have their license revoked!!!) because it was an absolute nightmare.

There are no words to describe the terrors we went through with those people but I will definitely do my very best to describe it when I review them later on. On the other hand, I had a spa installed in my house by Custom Pools and from the owner to his employees were all extremely efficient, knowledgeable, and very generous! They moved and installed my spa, started it and left it running perfectly.

And also when the owner of Custom Pools went to my house, I told him about my previous horrible experience and asked him if he could help me with figuring out how to work my new salt water pool system because the other company did not. Not only did he teach me how to work the system but he went the extra mile and sent a group of three technicians the very next day to put in the salt for me and also told them to install a drain hose into the system for when I need to lower the water level or drain anything from the pool.

He went on and beyond, never asking for a dime or any type of compensation. Instead he always offered his help and gave me his personal number and told me to save it for any questions or concerns I may have in the future. I am just very sorry that i did not find them sooner and had them build the pool for my family. Im sure it would not had taken them 8 months to finish.

I'm more than satisfied with this company from the beginning of the construction till the end, the one feeling I kept going through during the entire process was, "piece of mind", I'm the type of of person that is always on top of things at work at home on projects, however this company really gave me that a " piece of mind". They took care everything from permits, licenses, questions, coaching on how to maintain etc.

And constructions can be somehow unpredictable, because it takes third party teams, such as subcontractors or city approvals etc, no matter what challenges the project faced, Custom Pool handled it and took care of it. I couldn't be happier with the level of professionalism, service delivered and quality of work. From the girls in the office Maria and Stephanie were always there to answer my questions, Rich came so many times to my house just to show me or answer a concern I have in how to operate it, and finally Dago the owner who always demostrated my satisfaction was his goal. I'm extremely happy I picked them to make my backyard the best backyard I could ever imagine to have.

I would highly recommend anyone looking to build a pool to look no further than Custom Pools. From day 1, Hugo and Dago worked with me and my family to land on a design we liked, patiently working with us as our design evolved over time, pricing different options and never pressuring us to go one way or the other (in fact, I liked the fact that they only required a very small deposit to sign the contract as opposed to the 20% or more than other companies were asking for).

Ultimately the pool came out exactly how we wanted it (our design was quite custom, with several benches, a spa and a curved beach area with a bubbler, water slide with water hookup and it also required removing an existing pool) and we could not be happier. We hear horror stories often about pools taking forever to be finished. Custom Pools started on time, worked with large and experienced crews that got the job done quickly and professionally and they were able to finish the pool right on schedule--about 3 months from ground breaking to plastered.

It was never more than a few days before the crew for the next phase was at our house (and Rick stopping by almost every day to check on progress). Along the process, we referred often to the project timeline and progress tracker that Custom Pools makes available through its web portal or, if we had any questions, we always got an answer from Hugo in a few hours.

Our shellstone patio and deck with large pavers came out amazing as well. As with any construction project, there will always be hiccups but, when one was encountered (really there were not that many), the team, including Dago, were here quickly to resolve it. Again, if you are looking for a custom pool from a reputable company, look no further. Pricing was competitive and the work top notch. Dago, Hugo, Stephanie and team: thank you from the Endre family!

We could not be happier with our pool. ps: if you have a chance to be home when the cement/shotcrete is poured, don't miss it! It's quite a spectacle to see your pool finally taking shape.

When looking into pool contractors I received about 7 quotes. Custom Pools of miami was able to offer the best pool, dollar for dollar. Custom Pools did a sensational job on my pool. Taking only 7 weeks from start of construction to us swimming, They exceeded our expectations. We worked with Dago and he was able to take my pool design and make it my reality and hes very responsive and professional. They team worked efficiently through the pandemic and were consistently meeting milestones on the pool schedule. I would highly recommend using Custom Pools Miami.

When we first bought our home in 2019, we absolutely knew that we wanted to build a pool. After doing some renovations inside our home, 2 years later it was time to start looking for a pool contractor that would build our dream pool. At the beginning of 2021 we started getting quotes from many pool companies. I came across Custom Pools via Instagram and their reviews absolutely blew me away. Hugo came to our house to give us a quote and helped us design what we envisioned.

He was knowledgeable, professional and explained the whole process in detail and helped us understand what the project would entail. What drove us to ultimately hire Custom Pools was not only how long they had been in business and their reviews but their price! Unbeatable. From the moment they broke ground to the day when the pool was filled, it took them only 2 months!

I couldn't believe how fast they got it done. Even though I did not meet him in person, Dago the owner was involved in all aspects. He showed true professionalism and provided excellent customer experience. Everyone from Hugo, Rich who would come often to oversee the project, Stephanie who answered all the questions we had and dealt with the payments truly made the entire process much more enjoyable.

I cannot recommend Custom Pools enough. They build the pool we longed to have in our yard and since then we have enjoyed every minute of it! Thank you Custom Pools for giving us peace of mind as first time pool builders. You guys are truly the best pool company in Miami.

Gotta say this was stress free and very professional he even stayed till 8pm for me! what a Champ, cant wait to start on my new pool.

Custom pools gave me a fair and competitive price on the pool construction of my new pool. Dago recommended only the best pool materials which i appreciated since I wouldn't want a pool contractor to use cheap materials that doesnt have a good warranty. Stephanie provided a fast pool estimate and made sure to ask all the right questions on everything I needed. I will use Custom Pools Miami again. Thanks Dago

AMAZING! Great results from start to finish! The project manager Hugo was terrific to work with and walked us through the process. Once his crew arrived, they worked diligently through all the issues that arose and consulted us every step of the way. You can really tell they take pride in their work. Again, we are so thankful to Custom Pools Miami Pool Builders and will forever recommend these Pool Contractors to others!

It was our first experience building a pool and first time working with the pool company Custom Pools Miami. They recently redid our friends pool so we thought we give them a shot. From the very beginning Dago showed a lot of patience with all our questions and explained all the details that we needed to take into consideration. We had no clue on what materials, tiles or plaster finishes would look good but when he presented us with the design at the showroom, we knew we were in good hands. Most importantly, the finished pool looked just like what they promised! Best pool builders in Miami!

Very good company to work with. Awesome people and they do the best at building pools. The process was better than what I thought. Other pool contractors around my neighborhood took a real long time to build pools, my pool was built in 6 weeks.

Super impressed with the entire Custom Pools Miami Pool Builders team. Our backyard was literally a pile of dirt before they started the project and now it's our very own private resort. Our backyard is beautiful and the workmanship exceeded our expectations, we especially love the waterfall! Thank you, Dago and his team : A special shoutout to Jairo, Rich, and Hugo! Thanks

We have been a customer of Custom Pools Miami Pool Builders for 30 years and our yard still looks new. We have always been happy with their quality of work. The owners (Dago) were on-site from start to finish. The service manager of over 25 years, Hugo is amazing! Hugo treats his customer like family! Dago was very quick to respond and always very professional.

We always felt like we matter! Thank you! Dago and Custom Pools Miami Pool Builders for the right attitude towards your customer. I always recommend Custom Pools Miami Pool Builders to anyone and always say this is a Top-Notch pool builders. Thanks

Ive lived all my life in Miami Florida and I have heard and seen many horror stories on pool contractors. I saw a sign from Custom pools Miami right down the street from my home and I saw everyday how early the crews got there. I called the office and immediately the customer service girl Amanda took my call and set up my appointment. The salesperson Hugo helped me design the pool and gave me the budget.

I signed and with Custom Pools and they started the permit process right away. I met with Dago and he came over for our predig meeting and detailed the schedule and the complete pool construction process. My pool was completed in 6 weeks, Custom Pools Miami is amazing and I can definitely say they are the best pool contractors in Miami.

Thanks to Dago from Custom Pools Miami I was ale to get my pool. He was the only pool contractor in Miami that would do a public hearing to build my pool. I asked over 10 pool contractors and none would do what he did. It took like 8 moths to get it but I was so happy when it was approved. Right after that he built my pool in 8 weeks which was a sigh of relief. Thank you for everything you made my dream come true.!

My friends highly recommended Miami Pool Contractors, and I must say they were right. We wanted a pool builder who specialized in the vinyl pool that criteria exceptionally well. His wealth of knowledge, experience, and generosity reassured us that we were getting the best people for the job, and the finished product attests to that. Our backyard has been truly transformed. Miami Pool Contractors delivered the vision we had for our backyard at the best price. Recommend who will need to build a pool! Cheers guys! I would definitely keep them in mind and recommend them to others.

We are thrilled with the pool that Miami Pool Contractors did for us. We were even more impressed with the customer service. We probably drove him crazy with the endless phone calls inquiring about everything and anything to do with our new pool, which he was very patient and helpful with. His knowledge in the pool industry is far greater than most pool companies.

His prices are on the higher end, but you get what you pay for in the long run. We recommend them all the time. Thank you, Jairo, Rich, Hugo, and Miami Pool Contractors. I hope I get a chance to refer them to people I know. So if you're reading this review looking for the right Pool Contractors in Miami, look no further. Call Miami Pool Contractors.

Thank you, Miami Pool Contractors!

Custom Pools Review - EDITED If I could give Custom Pools 11 stars I would! Before beginning the process of pool building, my husband and I researched and inquired with close to 15 Miami pool companies. Once we narrowed it down to 4 South Florida companies, we met with them individually and asked everything from A-Z. While the questions continued via email and telephone, several people seemed too busy to be bothered.

We are investing thousands and wanted to make sure we knew what we were getting ourselves into. With Custom Pools, every single thing was answered and explained by the owner himself. There aren't enough great things I can say about this company and about Dago, the owner. The quote was straightforward, options were amazing, and communication was spectacular. Dago made himself available 24-7 and we were so impressed by his professionalism and the skill of his building team.

From start to finish, our pool build took less than 3 months. Not only was the work done well but the crew was kind, honest, cleaned up every day and overall so pleasant to have around. One of the most impressive events was when the crew was digging the hole and hit the sewer pipe which we had told them was somewhere else. Within 2 hours, Dago had a plumbing company replacing everything.

If you are considering building a pool, I highly encourage you to do your research and hire Custom Pools; I guarantee you won't be disappointed! With our sincerest thanks to Dago for helping our family create amazing memories in our home. We can't thank you enough for everything!

I got a beautiful pool designed by Bob in custom pools. My family and I have really enjoyed specially during Covid-19, when you couldn't get out of the house. Everyone that sees my pool wants to know who made it because they like how it looks so much. I am grateful to custom pools for giving our family the pool of our dreams.

From the beginning with the planning and design stages, and through the construction, and final finishing stage Custom Pool did an outstanding job. Professional, respectful of my personal vision of the project, as well as responsiveness to each stage everyone involved was great. During a complicated and trying year for so many people and companies, Custom Pool provided an exceptional experience completing everything in record time - including contacting all the required local municipal inspection personnel. I am very pleased with the entire project and would highly recommend them.

Custom Pools is the pool construction company I trusted with the custom design of my pool. I wasn't sure what to expect, but I was determined to find a company that was a good fit for me. Based on my experience with Custom Pools from our initial conversation, I was thrilled to use them for the build of my pool. The project was fulfilled according to the schedule they laid out from the beginning. Communication was effective and project deadlines were met. I'm very satisfied with Custom Pools ability to manage this project. Thank you again for all your help.

Custom Pools was extremely professional and accommodating throughout the entire poolmdesign process. My entire family was super excited to have our dream pool built and Custom Pools did an excellent job helping us keep that same level of excitement from beginning to end by providing us updates and keeping our spirits high. The final design is beautiful and definitely worthy of what we paid for it. I have already recommend Custom Pools to other friends and family members that have mentioned interest in getting a pool built.

What Can I say about this pool company. Simply the best. I doubt you will ever meet a owner like Dago that goes up and beyond in promising, delivering and catering to your needs. Pool took 7 weeks from start to completion and whenever there was any issues like a faulty led light or vacuum not working properly he was there to take care of it the very next day.

Custom pools also specializes in variances which allows you to get closer to the fence and maximize pool size. This is one of the few left over gems of a company. With custom pools your in great hands. Customer service, quality and pricing this is the place to go.

Over the years I heard from many people that Custom Pools was the best in town. So when my wife and I decided to build a pool we went directly to Custom Pools, and we are glad we did. Irv, John, Marilyn and Bob were great. They worked efficiently and wasted no time. Every day when we got home from work something New was done. I couldn't believe how quickly they got everything done.

They broke ground on Nov 12 and passed final inspection on Feb 2. And they were on vacation for three weeks in December. I also spoke with all of their subcontractors to get an idea of how they run their business. Every last one of them had nothing but good things to say about Custom Pools. It has now been almost a year since they finished our pool and we have had no issues. These guys are the real deal.

I would like to offer my highest recommendation to Custom Pools for a pool renovation that exceeded all expectations for customer service, pricing, quality of workmanship, and overall "menchiness" of the owner, his staff and his workers. I had received only one word-of-mouth recommendation, for Essig Pools. Yet a month after my initial (and many subsequent) calls for someone to come out and provide me with an estimate, I was still waiting for a call back from the sales department.

What more can I say about Essig? With no additional leads I began searching online when I came across Mary E.'s 5/23/10 Yelp recommendation for Custom Pools. Her comments were helpful and I decided to follow up. From my first phone contact to set up an appointment with one of the owners I sensed I would be dealing with a professional, responsive and friendly group of people and was not disappointed.

They respected my desire to take a practical, no frills approach to the renovation, which included leak repair, new coping and tiles, resurfacing of the pool, and a new patio. Having steered clear of the higher priced products, I must say that the finished pool and patio are even nicer than what I expected - a really striking and magnificent improvement to our home.

And finally, I will offer that as I've begun to speak to other longtime locals connected to outdoor services, I have learned just how respected the company is by others in the business. All have said just what I, too, know, that they are upstanding people who can be trusted and offer a good product for a fair price.

Ok, so my pool was in major disaster mode and needed a major overhaul years ago. So I finally got down to business and did my research and (hopefully!) got the best bang for my buck. John, the owner, is a very cool fella and was very cool with my haggling and agreed to do the job at MY price, which was very competitive (if you know what I mean-- and I'm sure you don't, but no matter, it was a GOOD price).

I think they did a good job; this is one of those jobs that is hard to determine because it takes a long time --years, actually to know if the job was done right. However from a superficial perspective (keeping in mind that the state my pool was in to begin with, was horrendous!), it looks pretty good. We had some reservations about the time frame, but John was true to his word and finished on schedule.

Pool is now getting its water back so I won't know how pretty it will look for a couple days. Thank you John, custom pools, for giving me back a pool I can swim and walk in that doesn't make my feet bleed! And thank you Angel and Angel for doing the work!
