Pugliese Pools

My husband and I cannot say enough great things about Pugliese Pools. We bought a home two years ago and needed to refurbish the existing in ground gunite pool (replace the existing tile, redo coping, repair bond beam) and redo the concrete pool deck. Alex went above and beyond during the entire project and was fantastic to work with. We would say the same thing about his crew. Alex and his crew made sure we were satisfied with their work as they progressed through the project and were always willing to answer any questions we had.

They left our backyard spotless at the end of every single work day and were very respectful. The finished product is beautiful and we couldn't be happier with it! Thank you to Alex and his entire crew!

We cannot say enough good things about Alex and his crew. When we moved into our home 2 years ago, we used the pool service recommended by the prior owner. Big mistake. Their work was lousy, and their customer service was even worse. They "fired" us after we asked too many questions. Luckily, we found Pugliese soon afterwards, and we have had no issues since.

The pool is immaculate week in and week out, and Alex takes the time to answer all of our questions. The prior owner did not maintain the pool, so there were a number of issues that needed to be fixed (leaks, broken patio tiles, defective air blower, etc.). Alex fixed all of them, and our pool looks like new. We wish we had taken before and after photos, because the transformation is hard to believe.

The best thing about Alex is that he never tries to upsell us. On the contrary, when we wanted to replace the patio stones around the pool, he convinced us not to, which saved us a lot of money. We highly recommend Pugliese.

Highly recommend Alex and his crew. We received several estimates from multiple pool contractors to redo our 50 year old gunnite pool. While most of the estimates were similar in price, only Alex took the time to explain the steps that go into renovating this type of pool and to propose useful improvements to the current setup. The other contractors gave us no indication of what we were getting for our money. Alex was very responsive throughout the renovation.

The crew led by Jesus and Frank are very skilled at their trade and were meticulous with their work. We are very pleased with the end result that is functionally and aesthetically far superior to the pool we began with.

Alex from Pugliese Pool Service recently completed a renovation of my pool. Not only did they do a great job on the work, but he was great at communicating progress/ status. With numerous constraints during COVID-19, including a reduced workforce, schedules are bound to change, but he always was giving me updates and responded to every message, which is a refreshing change! If you're looking to service or renovate your pool in the short term, I highly recommend you call Alex 1st.

We've been using Pugliese Pools for our weekly pool services for the last three years. They've always done a great job and are always very responsive, so when it came time for us to renovate our pool, having Alex and his team do the job was a no brainer. It was a complete renovation - new coping, tiles, and plaster, in addition to extensive repair to the cracked beams.

While the job took a bit longer than I would imagine it normally would in a pre-pandemic world, the end result is beautiful. Alex was responsive throughout the entire process, and periodically came by to make sure the project was on track. I would highly recommend Alex and his team for any pool renovation or service needs you may have.

Alex and his team resurfaced our Gunite pool this season and we could not be happier. We had some delays due to the heavy rains this spring but they worked hard to get the project done. The workers were clean, polite and respectful. Pugliese Pools came recommended from our realtor as well as the pool company who performed weekly maintenance on our home prior to our purchase last year. We're very pleased with the service we received and would absolutely contact Alex again for any maintenance on our pool/equipment.

This company is simply amazing! Alex did an entire pool renovation for my family and I. He was extremely thorough in every detail, worked along side his crew, and even came back at night to check on the pool! I would highly recommend this company to any serious customers who simply want a high quality job! Best in the biz!

Alex is the definition of a class act. His guys were amazing and worked so hard. They were respectful and thoughtful about locking the gates so that our small children weren't at risk of danger in the construction zone. Alex did everything in his power to make the overwhelming experience of renovation fun and enjoyable. Even at times my husband and I didn't agree on material or color, he stepped in to help us work it out.

He also was 100% present in checking over every bit of work the team did each day so that it was carried out to his high expectation. Through this journey he has become someone that we trust and respect and consider him part of our family. He never pushed us to spend money on things we didn't need and communicated with me every step of the way so there were no surprises. I would recommend Alex and his team every day of the week. We need more people like Alex out there! We cannot wait to enjoy our pool this summer.

Last year I moved into a new house with a pool that was neglected by the previous homeowner and it needed a major facelift. As a first time pool owner and knowing nothing about pools, the task seemed overwhelming. So I started calling various pool companies - about 15 in total - to get an opinion and an estimate. About half the companies would either not show up or come by look at the pool and then never get back to me with pricing.

The others were either outrageously overpriced or there was something I didn't like about the company for one reason or another. Then I was referred to Pugliese pool services by the company that did our pool inspection. I called Pugliese and spoke to Alex on a Friday afternoon and he stopped by the next morning. I explained that I basically knew nothing about pools so he sat with me for about 2 hours discussing the pool, the pool equipment and showed me how everything works.

He then started to give my options on how to proceed with its renovation, something that none of the other pool companies did. Alex then came back a week later to meet with me and my wife, bringing samples of coping stones, tiles and color chips for the new plaster surface. Once aging he was with us for about two hours going over everything to the finest detail.

After Alex left that day I remember turning to my wife and saying I hope his price would be reasonable because I really liked him - he seemed like a straight shooter, he seemed honest, fair and very knowledgeable and passionate about pools. My wife said she had the exact same feeling. There was something about him that really clicked with us. Anyway we received Alex's proposal about a week later and it was quite fair and reasonable.

So I checked his references and did my due diligence on him and his company and I felt really good about hiring him. And I am so happy we did. Alex and his guys were amazing; they were neat, respectful, and true craftsman. They went above and beyond the original scope of work and my pool looks amazing. Alex was there with us every step of the way - even consulting on the landscaping.

The pool is up and running now and I know if I ever have any questions or concerns Alex is always a text message or phone call away. Alex is now not only "my pool guy" but he is a good friend.

Pugliese Pool Service resurfaced, retiled, and fixed the coping on our 20 year old Gunite pool this spring. Alex and the crew were fantastic. They came right on time and worked hard to get it done in time for us to open the pool for the season. The crew was very respectful of our property and cleaned up after every workday. Alex was not only our contractor but truly acted as advisor and partner throughout the process, giving us options to consider (not always the most expensive either!) and made sure we were very happy in the end.

I received multiple quotes for the work and Pugliese was very competitive and I felt always wanted to do the right thing for us the client (and for the pool). Highly recommended. Planning on using them again next year to replace our pump, heater, filter system.

This review is based on my grandmother having a pool done by Pugliese Pool. The experience was wonderful. From the start Tom and his team put in so much time to make sure no detail was over looked. Tom is very hands on and has a great eye for constructing the perfect pool. The construction crew was extremely courteous and if my grandma had any questions, they were always willing to take a moment to answer them.

We have used the pool several times and it is beautiful and so much fun! She would highly recommend them to anyone building a pool. She would also recommend the Pugliese Pool Service. Alex and his service team continue the great customer service and helpfulness of Pugliese Pool. Thrilled with the addition and looking forward to many more summers.

I could not be happier with the granite pool installed by Pugliese Pools constructed last summer! Tom, is extremely professional and committed to delivering what you want and very conscious of delivering on time. Pugliese Pools is a great company if you want hassle-free installation. Most people I know complain about the process of having a pool installed. Not me! My backyard is now my summer oasis. Highly recommend Pugliese Pools!

We've done two pools with Pugliese so that speaks volumes right there. We originally went with a cheaper competitor but caught them in a lie from the get-go so we ran right back to Pugliese and never looked back. Tom is hands on. He will oversee every aspect of the job from start to finish. The pool itself is a magnificent work of art and nearly maintenance free. I've received dozens of compliments on the design. Our first pool in Mantoloking even survived Hurricane Sandy. Highly recommend!
