Do Not use this company. Yes they had the most reasonable pricing, but they do not stick to their schedule or contract. You think your pool is underway, then all of a sudden no one shows up. They go to another pool! Fine but no one says anything to you.
Pool is finally complete although the medium that I PAID for was not used on the patio. After contacting him quite a few times, I get a lawyer, he tells my lawyer that you cannot use the medium that I PAID for on that stone. Surprise! Pat brought me to a pool to look at WITH that medium. He said to me after seeing that patio, "you would want that

This guy ghosted us. How awful and unprofessional. Owner came over three weeks ago for estimate and still waiting for one. Could have at least answered my emails to say he hasn't gotten to it. Got him on phone and had no idea who we were. Told us "oh I maybe probably did an estimate but didn't send it." Well that's great thanks. total waste of our time. Call a real company. The worst thing you can say about a business is that they don't follow through on what they said they would do. Take your money elsewhere.

I had the misfortune of calling in on a day when a gentleman picked up the phone and it struck me that he was in a bad mood, or did not want to deal with my question about a product I wanted to purchase. I believe in giving everyone their fair share and I know we can all have bad days. Goodness knows I've had mine. I went to the store, and the woman and younger man were pleasant with me, but when they called the gentleman out (the one I spoke to on the phone) he walked out, looked me straight up and down right in front of his staff and without regard to how that makes a woman feel. One thing men

Had our liner replaced recently. Work seems solid. Work started just over a week after the ETA start date, however I am guessing due to COVID19 and delays that the liner took longer to receive. Owner Pat came over after business hours to get the pump in the pool to remove the water making sure there were no more delays, which was very nice. Work started two days later and they got the job done in two days! Very nice!

Worst customer service! Fired today effective immediately. Pat is perpetually rude and unresponsive. I have never worked with a more unprofessional, and belligerent business owner. I have no idea what these guys did. Bought house with a pool right around the corner from Newtown Pools. Because it was so late in the season, Newtown Pools agreed they would come every day starting early July to get it up and running. I'm lucky if they show up once a week. We call or stop in, they don't show up, 6 times and counting. We have not been in the pool yet this season. There is still sand on

Newtown Pools sent a technician to my home in less than 24 hours after my call to replace a pool pump. Rick completed the job in under an hour and the new pump is working fine. Thank you, Crystal and Rick, for your excellent service! You gained a new customer and we will be scheduling our future pool closings and openings with you.

If I could give leas than one star I would. This is the most unprofessional business I have ever worked with. Not only do they not stand by their work but they have proven to me over and over again that they will not show up on time or commit to a reasonable schedule. Do yourself a favor and go elsewhere!!

I had Pat and Newtown pools put a new pool in after interviewing two other companies. From the very beginning Pat and every member of his team was extremely competent ,pleasant and knowledgeable. I don't know what these other people are talking about. Starting from scratch they were wonderful. When I was stuck over making a decision Pat was great, pointing out pros and cons. My pool is absolutely beautiful and came out just perfect! There was never a money issue and we worked together just great. Lois Shantz

We had a pool put in last summer by Newtown Pools. I can only say great things about our experience with this pool company. Everything with Newtown pools went smoothly and timely. When there were permit issues with the town (which there ALWAYS are) owner, Pat McDougall, was on top of it. The crew worked hard putting our pool in and at the end of the season did a great job closing it up. Newtown Pools (Pat McDougall) did EVERYTHING that was laid out for us before we began. The pool looks fabulous and we are very eager for the weather to get nicer so we may go for a swim. I can't thank Newtown
