Our Testmonials
EXCELLENT Based on 24 reviews crystalp2025-01-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Southern Elegance did a magnificent job on our pool! They worked extremely well with our city (that has many regulations) in obtaining the permits. They kept us well informed of the construction schedule. John worked hard to make sure we were happy with the design & process. Jason was also a great pleasure to work with. He kept us tuned in to the construction job. The owners were very involved in the process & they all worked hard to make us a happy customer. The pool turned out gorgeous & just what we wanted & needed. Lisa Van Aartsen2025-01-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This was my first pool building experience. And likely my only one. This home is to be my forever home. The pool needed to be done right. I was able to find a great team at southern elegance who are patient, professional, detailed and just simply good people who love doing their job. I highly recommend this company. I'd choose them all over again. Ashley Mann2024-12-16Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. They were incredibly professional, answered all my questions, and overall did a great job on our pool reno. They also completed it shockingly fast. I highly recommend using Southern Elegance. Alonzo Cubano2024-11-28Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great company, wonderful leadership and great pools! Nick Starck2024-10-29Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Honest, trustworthy, local. Getting a pool is never a fast or easy decision and we did our research. Southern Elegance had straightforward and great pricing and answered all of our questions. They made us feel the most comfortable with the process and handled everything from start to finish. Stephen Grimm2024-10-21Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a fantastic experience with Southern Elegance while building our pool! After getting quotes from several builders, we chose Southern Elegance for their fair pricing and impressive base features. What truly set them apart was their exceptional communication and the ease of working with the team. We had a long design process (due to us being picky on some things), but John was incredibly patient and understood our vision perfectly. He was always available to meet and make adjustments quickly. Once we were ready to move forward, the entire process went smoothly and efficiently. We received constant updates from Jennifer and Jason, who were always on top of any questions or requests we had. After the pool was completed, they provided a thorough walkthrough on maintenance. Honestly, wish we could find more contractors that work as efficiently as SE did. We are definitely recommending them to any one who is looking at getting a pool put in. Trish Kramer2024-10-08Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I just don’t have enough positive words for this experience!!! I have never used a company before that I felt so at ease with and perfectly confident to leave my home in your hands. From start to finish this has been amazing and I could not be more thrilled with the results!!! Even my silly requests (leave the dirt mounds LOL) were met with “of course we can!”. Thank you for the attention to detail and keeping me up to date every step of the way. I will be recommending you to everyone I know! Many many thanks! David Perry2024-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. When we decided to get a pool we got several quotes from different pool companies but I was mostly impressed with John Lillo from Southern Elegance. John was very professional, very knowledgeable and eager to work with us. After telling him what we wanted he emailed us CAD drawing of the pool that had my house, plants, existing deck along with the new paver’s. We decided to go with them after coming to an agreement on a few changes. During construction everyone was professional especially our project manager Jason Winter who communicated and kept us informed throughout the build. Once built the pool looked great! The build quality was nice, very satisfied with the pool. Justin went over the pool pump and gave instructions on how to take care. All and all very satisfied with the build and would highly recommend Southern Elegance Pool for your pool project. Karen Davis2024-06-04Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our experience with Southern Elegance was top notch. Everyone involved, whether employee (Jennifer, John, Jason, Justin) or subcontractor, was professional and responsive to our many questions. We also appreciated the Monday memo which kept all of us on track. This is the 4th pool among family members using Southern Elegance. I’d say that makes a 5 star rating! Keith Kandetzke2024-05-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. There are issues that come up while building pools (or any construction project). Nothing always goes perfectly as planned. What separates good/bad contractors and great contractors is how they handle the issues when they do ultimately present themselves. Jenn and Ashley sure did get handed a few issues on my pool build but always responded ethically and with extreme professionalism. For me, this places them in the "great" contractor category. Justin always came/comes through for me as well when I get stuck in technically challenging places operating and maintaining. I could not recommend this team enough! I'd give more than 5 stars if possible 😀
