Legendary Escapes Pools

Overall Review: Cameras and NVR appear to be of good quality. Had some difficulty in connecting to the Smartphone App, but have worked that out. Had one camera malfunction during the first week. Communication wit the seller was simple and productive. Was told that a new camera was being shipped. Customer service is very good.

When we first found Legendary Escapes on the internet, we were amazed by their portfolio of work and intrigued by the unique nature of their poolscapes. As a result, we were somewhat prepared for the innovation and creativity that Al Curtis and Sandi Maki would bring to our yard. What we were NOT prepared for were the incredible relationships, the constant appearance of over-the top surprises, and the heartwarming authenticity that we found in an extraordinary contractor experience. We hesitate to call Al and Sandi and their Legendary Escapes Team “contractors”. The connotation in the word “contractor” suggests a person who works in one’s home or yard, and has a typical, sometimes even painful or strained relationship with the homeowners. This could not be further from the truth with the Legendary Escapes family. From the moment we first met Al, he was interested in us…not in showing off his past work, not in landing the job…he wanted to get to know who we were, what we were about, and how we liked to spend our time. And we quickly learned how critical his investment in knowing us, our children, our family, and even our pets was to the spectacular result that now graces our yard. Every feature in our pool was thought out with us in mind. Each wonderful detail was carefully and specifically selected for us. Add to all of this Al’s vast knowledge of pool-building and his ability to incorporate state-of-the-art features into our pool, and you have a product that is truly second to none. As nerdy engineers, we thoroughly appreciated not just the overall appearance of our poolscape, but the quality of the build itself, from concrete to stonework to plumbing. We are now ecstatic to have an “Al Curtis original” in our yard: a remarkable one-of-a-kind Steampunk Caribbean masterpiece that we enjoy and share with our friends and family every day. But more than that, we have been and continue to be blessed by the phenomenal relationships we have established with Al, Sandi, Karen, Katie, Kaylee, Jesse, Ron, Mark, Kyle, Carson, Joaynna, Katie D., Cale, Jaime, Jodi and Penny – our Legendary Escapes family. With a “contractor”, you’re glad to see them go when your project is complete. With our Legendary Escapes family, we never wanted them to leave, so we were thrilled to find out that Al is never really “done” with our project.

There are several things that can be said about the beauty and intricacy of the work Al and the Legendary Escapes team does, but the completed projects really do speak for themselves. Al works with each homeowner to transform their entire backyard and make their wildest dreams for their pool a reality. He pours his heart and soul into each project he takes on, and this passion is evidently displayed in his final products. Legendary Escapes has been selling and installing our custom safety covers for numerous years. The whole teams makes it their mission to make sure that the beautiful backyard oases they create are also covered safely for the winter months. We truly enjoy working with Al and Sandi to put all of their creations "to bed" for the winter with our safety covers. Here at Merlin, we consider Legendary Escapes a fantastic pool builder and we are proud to call them our colleagues.

A pleasure to do business with. We shopped several contractors and clearly selected the right company for the job. We now Have a very beautiful pool and other extras nicely integrated into our yard and to our tastes.

We found our project experience with Legendary Escapes one of the most enjoyable, fulfilling, and amazing contracting engagements we have ever had. To say we are completely satisfied and over the top impressed with our pool would be an understatement. Al and his team are first artists then creators of backyard water spaces that go beyond imagination. At one point this year (1 year later), Al said, "This is still my pool...I am not done yet". His artistic mind runs continuous and shows his personal and his team's commitment to the project. Al and the entire Legendary Escapes team are a joy to work with. We found that communication was easy, project was within scope and budget, and project completion and wrap up was prompt. We recommend whole heartedly the team at Legendary Escapes and have followed through with our recommendation with an open house, referral calls, and on-site potential customer visits. We truly believe in the team at Legendary Escapes.

Al the Pool Guy and team did a great job! The creativity of the project is breath-taking. The project deadlines and budget was right on track, no surprises, which is a refreshing experience. No detail was left undone and we are very satisfied. We would recommend to any interested in a one-of-a-kind pool.

We are a middle aged couple in our 60's looking for a way to bring our family closer together besides the usual Sunday dinners. Having 3 daughter in laws, a daughter and 4 very young grandchildren, a place upnorth seemed just too much. So we started looking into inground pools. We did our homework and we fell in love with Legendary Escapes the minute we saw their pools. We knew that was the pool for us. We wanted something different and unique, not just an ordinary inground pool. Once you meet Al Curtis and his family, thats it. You are sold. He is an extradinary man. He made up a design for our pool and 7 weeks later, our pool is done! I feel like I'm living a dream, its so beautiful. I don't want to leave my back yard...ever! We have worked with many many contractors over our years, and never have we felt such a sense of family with anyone like Al. Our pool is unique and very different and our neighbors are in awe of it. Thank you a million times Al and your staff for such a wonderful pool and for making the Billiau family so happy!

In my years of landscaping I haven't come across a pool that seems to blend into it's surroundings or express the lifestyle of the homeowners as the pools created by Legendary Escape do. The workmanship and talent that is in a Legendary Escape pool is incredible. It has been exciting to install the landscape to put the finishing touches to Legendary Escape's creations.

Al designed and built a fabulous pool for us. The whole experience was a ton of fun, which is not the way you'd think of describing a big construction project. Al did a great job of really getting to know us so that the pool and the pool house perfectly matched out family. Everyone who sees our pool is amazed by the details and what a welcoming space Al created.
