In February of 2024, Presidential Pools began a $370K project for us that included a pool renovation, tiki hut, pavers, screen, etc. This was a really exciting renovation for us and in the beginning Presidential Pools was really engaged. In February 2024, they demo'd our pool and by May 2024 had completed the Pool shell. That allowed them to collect over 50% of their fee. However, since May 2024 (It is now November 8, 2024) they have worked a total of 7.5 days on the project (Out of 180 calendar days). This work has included 5 days of one guy with a shovel, 3 - 1/2 days of 3 guys and a bobcat to spread dirt and sand, and 1 day of one guy installing tile. They have been non-responsive; especially ownership. Ownership had direct responsibility for getting the tiki hut sub on board (Per their PM) and it still has not been done. Ultimately, this experience lends us to believe that Presidential Pools ownership either does not care or lacks the competence to finish a job of this size. The biggest issue with all of this is that there is nowhere to go. If ownership either does not care or is incompetent, who do you talk to?Review from Vanessa S

Beware of what the company says in its mission statement to customers versus what you get.We went under contract at the beginning of March 2024 and paid our deposit at that time. The salesperson ***** was friendly enough and eager to get us into the showroom to pick stuff out. On our trip to the showroom we met the owner **** who seemed like a decent guy and was excited to have our business. That was about the only positive experience we had.Fast forward to our project finally being completed mid-June and after having a new project manager assigned and our pool sitting empty and no work done for almost 6 weeks, we had a finished product. However we never had a final walkthrough before the plaster because our PM said we would be moved from the schedule yet again so not instruction was given on what to do after the plaster.A contracted company came to do the plaster on a Friday and Saturday. Ironically, the salesperson said that they did NOT contract work which actually was untrue. We tried to reach our project manager and also the construction manager on the Saturday as we had questions prior to firing up. No one answered. We filled the pool.There were coloration issues that Presidential tried to blame us for even though no one came to do a final walkthrough. After going back and forth for a few days and having the plaster contractor come out to look, a decision was made to wet acid wash the pool. We had to be out of town during this process and when we arrived home in mid-July, there was excess sediment all in the pool from the acid wash process. Upon trying to reach out to presidential, we were told it was now a warranty issue. We reached out to warranty and have not had any follow up.Additionally, we have requested a release for a notice to owner we received from one of their contractors multiple times and have not received it. Did they pay that contractor or not?This could have been easily taken care of if they just finished the job.Review from Bi R

Can't say enough about this great company (Presidential Pools and Spas). Their service is reliable and communication is easy. **** ****** (Project Manager) is very professional and on top of his game. He was always responsive to our pool construction. He and his team are top notch. Very happy with my choice. I highly recommend them!Review from Sal P

This was the worst decision we made picking this company. We picked them because of the reviews (which I believe they must have the bad reviews removed) and the salesman. So far these are some of the issues we have;-we are on our third ******* -absolutely no communication from the beginning of dig.-never gave us timeframes or phases when things would happen.-never told when workers are coming -we have to reach out to ******* to find anything out and even then he cant give us exact day when workers are coming.-******* came out maybe twice, he should be there when workers are present so no issues arise or can be fixed right away.-because ******* hardly on site we have had a pipe in wrong spot (so they had to break up the grunite to move it later), coping didnt match so they had to rip it out to put new ones in, they hit my fence with bobcat causing damage.-I feel as though Im the ******* in this build.-have received two letters from subcontractors stating that have not been paid.-friends and neighbors who went with other companies have had their pools done in about 4 months. -they start our dig in January 2024 and it is now July and still arent done. -owner never gets back to us about these concerns.This has been the most stressful, annoying and frustrating experience. With the amount of money you spend on a pool build you expect a company to be run better and have good customer service. Please talk to neighbors, friends, co-workers, and reviews before making a decision. And make sure the company you go with has a completion date In the contract. I thought I did my due diligence..Presidential Pools Of Florida LLC Response

We have been working with the customer to ensure we deliver the backyard oasis they had planned on having from Presidential Poos & Spas. We will continue to work with them until all work has been completed to their satisfaction and they are swimming in their beautiful backyard pool.Review from Marlo C

BUYERS REMORSE.In 6 days, we will have hit the 12 week **** on this project and we have nothing to show for it but a Presidential advertisement in our front yard and an eyesore in the back yard. We have done everything asked of us in a proficient and timely manner even when faced with an unexpected hospital stay. From the beginning we notified Presidential know we had to have phase 1 done by 6/11 and we were assured it would be done well before that. Now we are at risk of losing our loan and having to restart that process over again. They have been nothing but excuses since we signed the contract. It took 2 week for us to get a fully executed contract. Their permit process had to go back to the permitting 2 time just to put on the plans that shrubs ***************** the pool equipment that will be behind an AC unit already there. Now we have the sod scrape and forms done and waiting so long that the grass is starting to grow back. This lack of communication and progress is really unacceptable and is not at all what we signed up for. We need something actionable at this time.Review from Kevin S

As a recent customer of ********************************************* and Spas, I am thrilled to share my experience with this outstanding company. From the initial consultation to the final unveiling of our new pool, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to customer satisfaction. The team listened to our needs, provided valuable insights, and helped us design a pool that perfectly matched our vision and budget. The attention to detail, from the tile work to the installation of the pool equipment, reflects a high standard of quality. It has not only enhanced the beauty of our property but also provided a wonderful space for family and friends to gather and make memories.Presidential Pools and Spas exceeded our expectations in every aspect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking to build a new pool. They have truly made our dream pool a reality!Presidential Pools Of Florida LLC Response

Excellent experience!!!! Working with **************** on the design helped turn our vision into reality. Dealing with ****************** on the construction process was very easy. He is detailed and kept us in the loop from scrapping the ground to pool school. I would recommend Presidential Pools for anyone looking to add a great recreation space and value to your home. Thanks again Presidential Pools Team!!!!Presidential Pools Of Florida LLC Response

We are currently in the process of building a pool with Presidential. It has been painful and disappointing to say the least. Everything was great until construction started. We have had to personally supervise every step in the process and caught mistakes that the construction manager did not. There is zero proactive communication, no project plans were shared and we need to constantly ask for updates. It feels like they are doing us a favor. The construction supervisor is so rude and treats us like idiots. I am appalled by the lack of professionalism and follow through. If this seems like the same review as Versuka's, it is because we are experiencing the exact same thing. Communication with the Construction Team is impossible. Not only do they treat people poorly, but they seem to think after a contract is signed - their service is still up for negotiating. Work promised and in a contract is not up for negotiation. If there are problems - FIX THEM. Why should the owners have to point them out to the Project Manager? They shouldn't. But with Presidential Pools, you will have to.Presidential Pools Of Florida LLC Response

As with any review, we take this situation very seriously and need to respond accordingly to ensure we have protected ourselves when we receive a "1" star review without allowing the customer to take a look at the final product, much like looking at a painting that is not quite finished.
We are working with the parent's of this reviewer. Unfortunately, there were design flaws submitted by the son that we are having to mitigate and correct which is taking time, multiple demands that are not feasible, and issues with progress payments. As with any Presidential Pool, we will complete this job per our agreement and leave them with the backyard oasis they originally asked for.
