From Our Clients
"After being ghosted by another pool company I called Southern Pools and Austin not only answered the call but he and Cody showed up at our home that same day to discuss our install. They delivered everything they promised and on time...They are professional, personable and I absolutely love my new pool! I would choose Southern Pools again without hesitation."
“Cody and his team just wrapped up our custom pool. Amazing service from start to finish. Their attention to detail is exemplary. Should you require pool service or a custom build these are the folks for you.”
“I can't say enough good things about Cody and his team at Southern Pools. From the design process/material selection/permitting to completion on time and budget, they were fantastic. The communication was great as we were "up North" during almost all of the construction. I highly recommend.”
