Dale & his team installed our pool liner summer 2015 . Very professional and knowledgeable. Unfortunately our liner had a manufacturers defect . Dale had a diver out right away to patch the rip. The liner needed to be replace and UV Pools replaced it after the swimming season at no extra cost to us . Great job and I would recommend them for any pool job needed.

We highly recommend Dale and his team at UV Pools if you need your in-ground professionally refurbished! Having sought a few estimates, we felt Dale was the only one we could trust to deliver onhis promises and he did! He is a total pro whose hands-on, personalized service was very much appreciated!

I am in the service industry myself, and I told Dale that the professionalism, response time to any inquiries, and the cleaning after the job was 110% to our satisfaction. I will definitely recommend UVPools to anyone I talk to who needs a new liner (I have already told one prospective client about your great service!).

Sean & Shannon Kavitch

We've used UV Pools twice now. The first was for a liner, jets, light, filter and chlorinator replacement. The old liner disintegrated in the spring and Dale's team had us swimming in mid-June. Very professional crew who did a fabulous job and we are thrilled with the results. The second time was when I detected a leak in a return line which was fixed in two days, again very fast professional service. We would absolutely recommend UV Pools!

Mark & Ann Poole

UV Pools was introduced to us by our insurance underwriter. She explained UV Pools had done work for her before, and her customers reported they were always pleased with the work. As a result of her recommendation, and Dale's prompt reply to providing a quote, it didn't take long for the work to begin. As we learned, Dale's Dad (Sam) remembered building our rather unique pool 18 years ago, and worked well with his son in making sure other recommended repairs, over and above the claim, were promptly attended to. Dale, Sam, and the rest of their expert team did a beautiful job of restoring our pool, on budget, on time, and in a very clean, efficient and friendly manner. I recommend them to pool owners who are looking for nothing but the "best of the best".

Rita Bergen

Our whole experience was absolutely wonderful! Dale answered all of our questions during our pool renovation project and even touched base with us after installation was complete. We appreciate how patient he was and how quickly he returned our calls, texts and emails! We had our liner replaced, new skimmer system, brand-new stair, pool wall repair, pool sump well installation and new ruba-roc patio installed! We were so impressed how quick everything took and how it completely transformed our backyard into an oasis! Dale's team was friendly, patient, hard-working and overall just fantastic! They efficiently cleaned up when they were done and we couldn't be happier with our new backyard! We would recommend anyone who is looking for an amazing pool-reno company to go with UV pools, hands down! Thanks Dale and your team for all your hard work this summer!

Mike & Nadia Cantafio

We would like to thank-you and your team for the professional and efficient work completed to replace our pool liner, install stairs and get our pool back in operation just in time for Canada Day. We appreciate the extra care taken to minimize any impact to our yard by ensuring that concrete, mud and debris did not damage our lawn (plus saving the perennials that needed to be removed so we could re-locate them!) and cleaning up after the job was done. It was also an extra bonus that they replaced our neighbour's sandbox with the clean sand that was leftover. You have a great team who work very efficiently together and get the work completed as quickly as possible without compromising on quality workmanship. Please pass this message on to everyone involved. We are enjoying our pool again and love the new stairs! Thanks so much,

Scott & Michelle Rivard

We were very happy to find UV Pools and even more impressed after our first encounter with Dale. He was quick to come out and speak with us, listen to our needs & wants, offer his professional opinions and was quick to respond with detailed quote we could understand. Dale & his crew were equally as professional when it came to getting down to the task at hand with the tear out and re-build of our space. The team was respectful, courteous and available thru the entire project. Quality workmanship and commitment to a quality product was evident. Our pool is amazing! UV Pools were exceptional and we would highly recommend them to anyone.

Trevor & Keri Joss

Dale and his crew did an exceptional job of re-doing our pool. It looks like a brand new pool. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, as well as very meticulous and precise in their workmanship. Price wise, UV Pools came in more reasonable than other estimates, of which Dale was the only one who did a personal free estimate, unlike the others who either wanted a commitment or deposit before coming out and only gave us a "phone" estimate. UV Pools is a Class A operation and highly recommended. Dale and his crew are #1 in our book.

Gerhard & Darlene Nickel

Highly pleased with the caliber and details of the workmanship. the sanding of the steel liner removing any rust, preparation(levelling) of the sand bed for the liner, placement of the coping and installation of the liner all which required special skills. I appreciated their advice and recommendations for thedeck around the pool. Elevating it by using foam rather than removing it and replacing with new concrete, as one pool firm had suggested. The cost of the elevation technique was about half that of the removal and replacement procedure... The costs for the coping and liner from other pool stores was significantly higher than from UV Pools -in one quote almost double

Semeon Hrushovetz

As soon as Dale got the call to go ahead with the pool liner replacement he had the whole crew get it done in record time. There were some special considerations with repairs and moving skimmers . The pool is so much better to manage with the suggestions and changes. Thanks all around to Dale , his family and everyone for getting this extra big job done pronto and it looks Fantastic!! Thankfully last summer 2015 was a long hot one and we really enjoyed a lot of swim time late into fall! 5 Stars!!!!!

Marian Krezanski

I was very pleased with the workers, owner as well as all the completed work. Very professional, friendly group that completed the job in record time including working in the rain. Have recommended UV Pools to a friend who is in the process of getting a quote. You won't be disappointed!

Paulette Richardson

We realized this spring that our pool liner had a serious leak and, since it was old, would need to be replaced. We were planning to list our house for sale and so, we were dismayed when we learned that it would take four weeks to order a new pool liner. Dale committed to try to expedite the time-line and he really came through for us. The liner was installed in three weeks and the job was done professionally and efficiently. Based on our experience, we highly recommend this company to anyone who needs a pool liner replaced.

Ernie Boschmann

The work was done quickly, cleanly and with no surprises. We love the UV filter and have found it has significantly improved our water quality and reduced the amount of labour and almost completely eliminated our need for chemicals. Very happy with Dale and the crews.

Wanda Bretecher

UVPools did a liner replacement for me two years ago after it tore during the previous winter. Of the four companies I called for quotes on the repair job, two didn't show. Dale came the next day and his quote was half the only other one I got. I found Dale and his team great to deal with, and I can't say enough good things about the quality and speed of their work. My pool was back up and running a couple of weeks later and it looks better than it did when I bought the house. I would hire UV Pools again and highly recommend them to anyone needing pool repair work done.

What a great job by Dale and his crew. From his suggestion as to the type and style of liner right down to the clean up....a fantastic job. Great value for the cost. We needed our liner replaced and some work done on the obsolete beauty strip. From the time Frank and his son showed up to remove the liner and Dale turning the pump on when the pool was full...watching them work was a pleasure, knowing that the end product would be well worth the cost and future enjoyment. The grandkids could hardly wait to splash around in the new pool.

Dale Kreviazuk is very credible and the company's workmanship is excellent. I felt very comfortable and trusting dealing with such a nice personable young man. No question was too many and his answers were always honest.

Your guys just left, cheque in hand, and I just wanted to mention what a pleasant guy Brandon is. He went over the operation, took his time, very professional. I have recommended your company several times, based on the work you guys did on my pool 2 years ago, and now this cover, and I will not hesitate to use and recommend your crew in future as well. Cheers,

Frank was just here installing the necessary pieces for our UV light. He did a great job, and was pleasant, as always :)

Pool Renovation Sept 2013 – Called 5 companies, all came out. Received quotes from 3, nothing from other 2. Out of the 3 that gave quotes, which were all pretty close in price, I felt Dale from UV pools explained exactly what needed to be done, how he was going to do it and when the job would be done. Well, no surprises, the crew showed up when Dale said they would, they were professional and very knowledgeable, cleaned up everything when they were done. My wife and are completely satisfied with the renovation, our 28 year old pool looks like brand new. I have also given UV Pools permission for customers with questions, to feel free to give me a call in regards to my renovation and or UV Pools workmanship. Thanks to the crew & Dale for a job well done.

Jeff & Marilyn Sippel

It was a pleasure dealing with Dale Kreviazuk. Dale and his crew were courteous and in a good frame of mind during the installation of my new pool liner. The complete process went smoothly and the crew did an excellent job. Dale also went out of his way to locate a very hard to find vinyl snap cap cover for my 30 year old aluminum coping.
