We had the best experience building our pool with Downes. From the conception of the project with the owner, Mike to the execution with our project manager, Brian--every single thing went smoothly. The follow up and attention to detail has been amazing. And we are very happy with the way they service our pool for us for weekly cleanings, too. We LOVE our finished product and would highly recommend them to anyone considering putting in a pool.

I have known and worked with Jim Maddin for twenty years. I depend on Downes Swimming Pool Company for unquestionable quality, thoroughness, and a systematic team approach to the construction process. They pull a network of companies together, appreciating the value of each of their partners. We specifically enjoyed their efforts to coordinate controls and power access, so that there need be no duplication of efforts. Downes is a pleasure to work with!

The Downes Pool company just opened our swimming pool this week and we couldn't be more impressed with their service, attitude and professionalism. We are new customers so it was very helpful when they explained everything they were doing and the reason behind it. I would highly recommend them- such a friendly crew!! Thank you!

I have been a customer of Downes Pool for 12 years now. They installed my pool and I get weekly service during the summer months. From opening and closing seasonally, to emergency calls to fix my automated cover before a party, Downes is always there. If you're looking for a top notch pool company, I highly recommend Downes Pool.

I hired Downes Pool Company in 2000 to build my family a swimming pool. I was thoroughly pleased with their expertise and professionalism. They built us a true paradise for my backyard. Since then, for the last seventeen years, they have serviced it weekly as well as opening in the Spring and closing it in the Fall. If you are looking for this same scenario, I would highly recommend them.

I have worked with Downes for 8 years. In addition to our annual pool maintenance, they have done several pool repairs and installed new equipment as our large, in-ground pool is aging. They refinished the pool and installed new coping. They have also done special projects for us including installing an autocover, repairing fountains on the property, and installing custom fire features by the pool. Downes' work is high quality and their service is prompt. The staff are knowledgeable and friendly. The prices are competitive and they are extremely flexible in addressing our needs. Most importantly, Downes is committed to meeting customer expectations - no matter how high.

I have used Downes Pool Service for maintenance for approximately 25 years. They are very good operators and very reliable. In addition they have resurfaced pool for us twice over the years. My wife and I have been extremely happy with their service always getting to us promptly for any emergency with the pool. Mike Downes continually strives to be the best in the business.

Downes put in our pool in 2003, and we have been using their services ever since. We are extremely happy with the company and would highly recommend them. In the last 14 years we have had routine maintenance, parts not working correctly as well as special requests for different events we have hosted. Downes has handled all the above. They are accessible, professional and very good at what they do.

Downes is a very professional responsive company. They have fixed many issues with our pool that was built by another company. They are always on top of things and their quality is stellar.

Downes constructed our pool in 2011. They worked well with our landscape design firm and did an excellent job. We also use Downes for regular pool maintenance, including the summer of 2016.
