What recent reviews say

Skipper Pools delivers strong workmanship and honest pricing when they are responsive, but a sharp split in recent reviews reveals systemic communication breakdown. Multiple customers report unanswered calls, full voicemails, and abandoned projects, while older reviews from engaged clients praise Craig's team for thorough execution and accessibility. The most concerning pattern involves unresolved leaks after completion and warranty disputes.

Based on limited recent reviews, so treat this as low-confidence.

Recent shift: A sharp decline in responsiveness over the past 2-3 years; one-star reviews dominate recent contact attempts (within one week), while five-star feedback is concentrated 5-9 years ago when Craig's team was directly accessible.

Praised for
  • responsive communication when engaged
  • competitive pricing
  • professional and thorough work
  • strong team culture
Watch-outs
  • unresponsive to calls, voicemails, emails
  • unresolved leaks and structural defects
  • permits left open unclosed
  • warranty not honored
punctualfair-pricingskilled-craftsmanshippoor-communicationunresponsive-after-paymentwarranty-honored
Best for: homeowners with existing relationships or direct referrals from contractors who can manage communication directly
Think twice if: you rely on easy phone or email contact; multiple recent reviews describe unreachable staff and unresolved defects after payment.

Strengths

  • Pentair dealer with automated systems capability
  • design-to-finish scope in-house
  • proven quality when communication stays open

Worth knowing

  • Craig (named team lead); known for on-time delivery and transparency with engaged clients
  • warranty disputes documented on large projects (100k+ pools)
  • voicemail system reported full as of one week ago
  • permits left unclosed without resolution
  • at least two structural defect complaints (cracked pipe filled with gravel and tree trunks, unresolved leaks)

What reviews say by service

Pool Design & Construction
praised for thorough design-to-build when accessible; one major complaint about pipe installation and gravel fill instead of cement
Pool Remodeling & Renovation
mixed: timely execution on smaller jobs, but permit closure and leak detection failures reported on large renovation
Pool Repair & Equipment
leaks dismissed as non-existent on-site; external leak companies found multiple faults

Common questions

Can they handle design and construction in one scope?
Yes. Older reviews praise their full design-to-finish delivery. Newer reviews describe communication collapse mid-project, so scope coordination is uncertain.
Are they still actively taking calls?
Recent reviews (within one week) report full voicemails and unanswered calls. Website contact form also reported non-functional.
Will they close permits they pull?
One customer reported an unclosed permit and staff confusion about responsibility. This remains unresolved.
