Testimonials

George & Shari Walker, Austin Texas

Why did you select Millennium Pools?
"We interviewed a number of prospective pool builders and while they wanted to do the project, we didn’t have confidence that they could do the project. The slab height above grade of the house was 12 to 14 feet meaning that the entire pool and structure would be above ground creating an engineering challenge. Additionally we wanted a rock waterfall, outside fireplace and a slide for the grandkids, all without having a design."

What was it like to work with Millennium Pools team?
"The Millennium Pools team was amazing. First, they really “got it” regarding the pool area environment that we were trying to create. They turned our vision that we described verbally to them into drawings that were supported with engineering. Their 3D drawings helped us envision the project and gave us confidence that Millennium was the right pool company for the job. Blake French’s creative ideas were extremely valuable and we trusted his eye for what would look good. He and his team were very attentive to the details and if Blake saw that something didn’t look right, he simply fixed it without us having to raise the issue."

What ideas did you bring to the table? How did you envision the pool? What features were you looking for?
"We had previously owned 3 homes with pools, two of which we built. None however were as tricky as this pool. We knew we wanted a real pool experience, sort of a resort pool area with a waterfall, fireplace, and a slide but after Blake finished with the design he had incorporated a grotto, jump off rock, creative lighting, water feature, raised hot tub with moat around it and a tanning area."

What changed as you went through the process?
"For the most part the construction went per plans although the deck area around the fireplace was sort of shaped during construction. Additionally while visiting an outdoor furniture store we saw an arbor that we liked and when we mentioned this to Blake he said he could incorporate this into the program."

Is there anything unique about the way Millennium Pools does business?
"They were very hands-on. Blake personally visited the site regularly to make sure that the project met his standards. Whenever his standards were not met, without being asked he made corrections."

Why would you recommend the company?
"Yes I would recommend Millennium and have recommended them to several prospective clients, especially anyone that has a particularly difficult building site. Not only is Millennium very customer centric, they are extremely professional and capable!"

How is the end result? How is the pool used?
"Who are its primary users? The pool and pool area are like a resort, exactly what we wanted. We wanted to create a place our children and grandchildren would want to come and now they consider going to the grandparents’ house like going on vacation."

What are your favorite aspects/features of the pool?
"The grandkids love the slide and the grotto but we probably like the waterfall and water feature as well as the fireplace area the best."

How would you sum up your experience with Millennium Pools in a sentence or two?
"Home and pool construction is never an easy process but in this case working with a professional and creative company like Millennium Pools made the difference. While we don’t plan to build another pool, if we did I wouldn’t use anyone but Millennium Pools and I would highly recommend them!"
