We have been with DPAS for over 15 years now. Every encounter only gets better. From Theresa at service to the people who service our pool, Ed Mike, and more, no matter how small or big the job they are friendly, attentive, highly competent and accessible. When I want to do work on my own they have let me send them photos and movies and advised me in my work. One time they even let me bring in my pump to repair my impeller and helped me do it on the spot in their shop.
When I have called them to do service sometimes they come on the same day and will give me great advice on how to maintain and keep my pool looking great. DAPS really does highlight the adage, beware, you get what you pay for. I've gone to less expensive places to save a few bucks and paid for it in the long run. I recommend them highly!

Every person we interacted with was terrific and the team built an absolutely beautiful swimming pool! Even the owner stopped by multiple times every week to check on the progress and pitch in. The result is simply stunning and so enjoyable. THANK YOU to the entire team at Design Pool & Spa!

Design has serviced my pool for about 4 years. They always resolve any problems you may face especially with older pool. Great work, team and communication!

Can't say enough about Gary and the whole team (too many great folks to call out). We just finished the install and opening of our new pool. What is inevitably a long and stressful experience was made a little less so by the world class service and work done by their whole team. We are one month in with the retail and service team now, and they have not let up in their standards. Thank you to everyone over there!
