This may be my third review because we have built 3 Dolphin Pools. We knew going in, there could be some delays and unexpected snags due to the crazy pandemic. Joe designed a beautiful pool. It turned out exactly how we envisioned it. Maria P. is an absolutely gem and made sure our experience was the best it could be.

From start to finish, Dolphin exceeded my expectations, Tony did a great job introducing us to the process and designing our dream pool. Jake, our superintendent was amazing, from his professionalism to communication and delivery, he exceeded my expectations. I thinks its important when building a pool to have realistic expectations. I expected it to be stressful but I am happy to say this was anything but, they kept me up to date the entire process of the build. As soon as I was wondering if I would hear an update, I did. Overall, Dolphin delivered on our dream pool. Thank you Jake, Carla and

I am really sorry I used this company. I gave it 2 stars since out of the many people I had to deal with only 2 were competent.
Pool was supposed to take 6 months. Almost done after 10 months. They don't have their own people so everything is contracted out and they don't care if things are done right or on time.
After 10 months the pool part is done, but now they refuse to clean up properly costing me more $$$. They left my water sprayers floating in mid space also costing more $$$ to put pavers around them.
Sales person had no idea what he was doing and would promise one thing on one meeting

I'm currently shopping around to get some ideas for our future pool. We're not yet ready to start the process so when I went into Dolphin the other day I wasn't expecting much since we're not ready to put money down yet. I was pleasantly surprised by the front desk lady, Regina, who went above and beyond to help me out. She was very attentive and didn't make me feel like I was wasting her time like other places I've visited. We're definitely going to keep Dolphin in mind when we're ready!

Sales, Installation, and Design are Great, Warranty Department is horrible. Pool controls stopped working the pool is still under warranty and their response after an email that I sent because they did not return my phone call for days, is for me to call the manufacturer (Hayward) myself for a pool that they installed less than 3 years ago. They will get no further business from me.

I contacted Dolphin Pools in September (2021) and spoke to Deanna who would become our sales advisor. Deanna came out to our house in Mesa and gave us recommendations on location, size, etc of the pool. We also went over what the price for the package would be (around $38,000), however, we wanted to add a water feature. On October 2nd, I sent over photos of water features I wanted and was told Deanna would get a concrete final price of everything included. On October 7th, I was the one to follow up with her to see if she had pricing, and was told because of 4 employees tested positive for covid

I don't like to give bad reviews but if you are in the market to have a pool put in do not use this company. They didn't tell us about a possible hard dig which cost us an extra $5,000. Plus once the pool was completed they did not stand behind their work and after just a year the tile is falling off and they want to blame us for it!

When you spend upto 100k dollars on a pool system you expect the best customer service and warranty.
Dolphin pools failed miserably. They should know better that pool equipment is outdoor and open to elements which can led to damage, they did not put the best people and material and it failed. On calling them they refused to fix under warranty. This is not what I paid for and expected from their customer service and warranty.
Will never recommend. If this is what you get for high end pools, less costly ones don’t stand a chance.

Do not use this company. They are terrible at responding. Our pool leveling system has not worked for over two months and they are not fixing the problem. I never write reviews but this is ridiculous! I will never use this company again. The pool is beautiful but there is a leak, the water won’t stay leveled, it’s too high or too low. Someone came out, dug a hole in my yard and left it. I don’t know why the hole was dug and neither did the “supervisor”. Then the pool level was way too high and they said that was normal. I feel like they don’t want to do their job and keep blowing smoke

Overall, I am currently disappointed in Dolphin Pools. I am currently, in the construction phase of my pool and the whole project has not gone smoothly. At the beginning the salesman was responsive and helpful however, once I signed the contract and put money down everything changed. It took over a month for the salesman to respond to my multiple texts and questions. Eventually once construction began I received one confirmation call about excavation only for the date to be completely wrong and the excavation team did not show up either day they were scheduled to. The company does not provide customer

I would give them Zero stars if it were an option. Had to contact them via email and phone to setup a consultation. Somebody called me and sent me a credit application without giving me any other information on work or plans. I called back to try to schedule a visit because I didn't want to fill out application without knowing what plans would be. I told the guy I was undecided if I wanted to pay upfront or finance. He then "move me to front of the list" and scheduled an appointment for yesterday at 1pm. I left work early and waited for him to show up. NO CALL NO SHOW. How professional

Updating my review as we completed construction and we love the pool.. end project great but they could be a bit more transparent with schedule as timelines they give were not kept. They seem to have a ton of pools going on at once which likely doesn't help.. We did receive an apology and a visit from the owner in person after all was said and done. We find that rare and gives us a reason to increase our star count. Customer service can go a long way. We are hopeful that the quality speaks for itself but its still just new so if I don't update this it means all is working well and

Just wanted to share our experience with Dolphin Pools. We are five years in, the pool has been GREAT!! Great design, an upgraded transformation of our property. A wonderful centerpiece for entertaining.
If anyone tells you a pool doesn’t add value they are just flat out wrong....
Dolphin has stood behind their product from the beginning and addressed our concerns in a timely manner. High quality pool equipment with low maintenance. We would highly recommend to anyone considering a pool, to sit down with Dolphin before committing to another builder...

Several years ago We built a home acting as our own contractor. It was less stressful than working with Dolphin Pool. Dustin in design was fabulous. He listened to what I wanted and made it come to life. Their price is excellent. But be aware. Most portions of the pool are completed by sub contractors. We had issues with them. Constant no call no shows. The sub contractors tore down a gate way for no reason but laziness ( Dolphin did replace the gate and fence but the mess was there for months.). Dolphin seems to have no control over what the sub contractors do so your at their whim. For me

My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Chris Celio. Chris was our sales guy but felt more like a friend after a few visits discussing our new pool. Chris seemed to really grasp what we were wanting and we were happy with our design. Construction of our pool went seamlessly and we couldn't have asked for a better superintendent like Wes. He was out almost every time a crew was at our home and constantly communicated with us about status.Our start up guy came out and walked us through how to use all of our equipment which was helpful because we had no idea what we were doing. We have already

I interview 3 pool companies and received different designs and prices. I decided to go with Dolphin pools and worked with Craig McClellan who was able to give me the best price for the design I dreamed off. He was even able to accommodate the water features I had found. Craig's communication was excellent and followed through with Dave Kardian the construction supervisor. Dave was very detailed about what would be happening and when. I was out of town when the pool was finished and filled but Dave sent me pictures. The same with my landscaper as I was out of town when they did the work. It was
