After meeting with several pool designers/builders, Michael Gress and his team were an obvious choice. Michael and his team are subject matter experts who are professional and responsive. I couldn't be more pleased with the finished product ( pool and spa). The memories my family and I have made are priceless. I'd also highly recommend the maintenance services.
As a new pool owner, they have answered countless questions and helped me expertly maintain my pool. Perla and Jason are the absolute best. I am most appreciative that even years after the final install, Michael is still as responsive as during my project. Thank you, Michael! If you are considering a pool, I would highly recommend Michael Gress and his team.

We could not be happier with the service and professionalism provided by Michael Gress and his entire staff. Our neighbors suggested Gress' Incorporated to us. Their original pool was designed and built by Gress (stunning), and they were again hiring this company to build their pool for their new home. Most people we spoke with loved their pool companies at the beginning, but definitely not by the end.
This is one reason why we chose Gress. After meeting with two other pool companies, Mr. Gress was the only person who suggested moving our septic system to allow the pool to be placed exactly where we wanted it. Who knew?! The process of moving the septic took time because of Wake County rules, but in the end was the best decision. Mr. Gress worked with us on numerous occasions to design a unique pool that would look beautiful in a wooded setting, and provide ample hard surface for entertaining.
He knocked it out of the park! From the time our pool was surveyed to the first swim, we cannot express how easy this project flowed. The employees have been with Gress' Incorporated for years and it is apparent that they are experts in their field. They arrived when expected, worked diligently, and completed the project on schedule. After the pool was complete Mr. Gress visited several times to ensure that we understood our system, the chemistry, and overall care and maintenance of our pool.
We recommended Gress' Incorporated with a 5 star + rating. The professionalism, workmanship, and customer service exceeded all expectations. Sincerely, Rob and Jill Ellison Wake Forest, NC

Michael is a very knowledgeable pool builder and a real craftsman. Tony worked with us over several iterations to create an exciting pool design that blended a geometric and freeform style. The final product turned out even better than we ever imagined. We love the rock work, which Michael and his team did a lot of work with to make sure was just right. Michael was responsive throughout the process with any questions or concerns we had with the build. His whole team was courteous and professional. Definitely recommend.

We put in our pool/spa grilling area 5 years ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. We interviewed 5 pool contractors, narrowed it down to 3 and asked for them to submit design that would be most appealing for our sloping backyard. Hands down Gress delivered the best design listening to all our wishes and dreams. His stone guy is the best I have seen with such creativity and precision.
We have maintained our pool using Gress pool maintenance every other week and this individual is such a hard worker always responds to my text, calls and is very polite. He was also part of the install crew and I witnessed his work ethic during the process. Diego is top notch hard working. We love our pool and our only regret is we didn't do it sooner. If you are considering a pool feel free to reach out me. Best decision ever.

Gress Inc. came highly recommended to us when we built our new home. We were able to view several Gress pools and loved the beauty and uniqueness of each one. Everyone raved about Michael and his crew and their stellar customer service. We were not disappointed. Michael is very professional and responsive. He designed a beautiful pool for our lot and we enjoy it year round. Michael did an amazing job and we are thrilled with the results.

We built a new home and found Michael when we looking for most reputable pool builders.well, we hit the jackpot.it's not just the ease of planning, or products offered, but the crews, employees, followup, servicing, etc -but everything has been amazing. We put in a beautiful pool, spa, decking and in ground fire pit-which is so unique and quite nice for entertaining. Michael doesn't need to be on site daily because his crew knows exactly what to do and how to do it--and right the first time.
They are all hard working and meticulous about their job. They had to work around other contractors on other back yard projects and were very conscientious about others and they all got along so well. The office is very responsive when I have had questions (our first pool) and no question is ever left unanswered. We never had to go to the office for selections--they always came to us. Followup with test kits, servicing, etc is also immediate. We have had it about 1.5 years and have had lots of entertaining nights with family and friends who can all enjoy Gress's work of art!

Michael Gress built us a gorgeous pool. Far exceeding our expectations. And after owning several pools, we certainly have a comparative! His company's customer service is above and beyond our expectations. He always returns our calls and questions immediately. Because of this, we also use Gress for bimonthly maintenance. As a top producing Real Estate Team in the Triangle, we are proud to refer Michael and Gress Pools to everyone interested in a beautiful pool but also quality experience!

Gress installed our pool nearly 6 years ago and we still love it. We looked at a number of local pool builders and chose Michael based on pictures we saw of his work and the gut feel we got. He drew up plans for us and incorporated our pool with some existing hard shapes we already had. He said it would take about 3 months and in 3 months, we were swimming in the pool.
Most of the time contractors of any type never get a project finished when they say they will. He said everything was included in the quote and for sure it was. We didn't get any change orders or anything. We did run into 1 issue with the fence around our pool, based on his recommendation. Cary inspectors didn't approve it so Michael ate the cost to fix it.
Our quote said a fence was included and we certainly weren't paying for anything else. I think a lot of other contractors would of made the client pay but he didn't. That was the only "issue" we had (if you want to call it an issue) and he covered it. It verified our choice of who built our pool. We wanted someone we could trust and that would stand by their quote/contract and he certainly did.
In the past 6 years, anytime I've had a question or needed someone to look at the heater or ozone unit, Michael responds right away and gets someone out to look at it. Excellent customer service! You can definitely find a cheaper pool builder out there, but I doubt you find a better one. Cheaper is usually cheaper for a reason. A pool is a big time investment and you certainly should not look for the cheapest company to do it. Can't recommend Gress enough!
