UV Pools just completed a full reno on our inground pool. Their workmanship was impeccable. The crew was prompt,... courteous and professional. They answered any questions we had during the entire process. Everything that we were told about the entire project happened without any issues. Great job! Excellent company!

We were told by one company that our pool is an old "Trojan" aluminum pool that couldn't be saved so we should prepare... to fill in the hole with mud....I"m thrilled to say Dale Julie and the team proved them wrong! A neighbour also recommended UV Pools to us and we're astonished by how quickly and seamlessly the work was completed from start to finish. Keep up the great work saving people's older pools that still have many years of life left in them. We appreciate all that you do!read more

I called Dale in the fall of 2020 for an estimate to replace an aging 20 year old liner. He responded promptly and by... March of this year as soon as all the ice was gone, Julie called that they were ready to start repairs. By end of April all renovations were complete, workmanship was excellent and communication with Julie through out the process was outstanding.I would highly recommend UV Pools.read more

We had UV Pools rebuild our in-ground Pool with everything, including Liner, Coping, ground shaping, Skimmer, and all... plumbing. 7 days from start to finish! Always cleaning up after themselves, working their butts off in some pretty intense heat...from the Office and Estimators to the guys in the field - these guys were FANTASTIC! I can't recommend them highly enough - Best of the Best!read more

Bought a house with a beat up in ground pool, I called uv pools and hired them to install a new liner a heater and a... pump. They were done in 2 days, they also fix the concrete of your pool before installing the liner and install a new skimmer. They can also install pool lights and make walk in steps if you so desire.Dale is a genius when it comes to pools and also fair, Julie is most likely who you will deal with and she's also very knowledgeable and professional.Whenever I have trouble with the money pit uv pools is my first call.read more

UV Pools completed a pool renovation for us in May 2020. Dale, owner, provided exceptional service from start to... finish. The renovation was completed on time, workmanship was excellent and communication through out the process was outstanding.

When we bought our House in the fall of 2017 we were told that the pool liner was replaced in 2015. When we opened the... pool in the spring we realized that the company that had done it had done a very poor job. Flash forward to spring 2020 and the liner was falling apart. We made the tough decision to get it replaced even though it was only 5 years old. I got a number of quotes from pool companies in the city and it was clear to me that Dale and his team were best suited to take care of us! They found that our old liner had been cut to fit and it still wasn't even fitting properly. We had them restore the crumbling pool floor, replace the liner, skimmer, jets and pluming. They carefully measured our pool and had a liner made it fit perfectly with no cutting. When they installed it, it fit perfectly and looks amazing! They brought our 1970's pool back to its original charm, but likely even better than when it was new! We couldn't be happier with Dale, Julie and the entire team at UV Pools for the amazing job they did. They worked to stay within our budget and and the finished product turned out better than I could have imagined. We are so happy we went with UV pools and will definitely use them again for any of our pool needs.read more

Doing a big pool reno can be unnerving but Dale and staff made it feel like it was nothing. Dale explained, in detail... the process from who, what, when, how and why so we understood everything. The crew was great. They worked hard, answered our questions, offer opinions and advice and entertained us with their music and dancing. The experience was much better than expected and would definitely recommend them!read more

USE A DIFFERENT COMPANYBUYER BEWARESUPER SLOW AFTER SERVICEI had UV Pool Come out June 26th 2020 to install a new... liner amongst a few other things. One of the employees who was working on the staircase drilled 3 EXTRA holes in the staircase/concrete that caused the pool to leak for well over a month because UV was to busy to come back or just simply didn't care. I lost the water I paid to trucked in, the chemicals and my yard was soaking wet for well over a month. Dale doesn't seem to care about any of the above and thinks that's apart of the process and I shouldn't be reinstated for my loss of water, time and chemicals. The day after the install I called and left a voicemail first thing in the morning because the chlorinator that Dale installed was leaking in THREE spots and I thought that's why I was losing 2 inch of water out of my pool a day to only get an email back four days later asking for a 5 star rating on google and the rest of the money owning. Long of the short Dale is saying the holes in the staircase must be a manufacture defect and they were always there. ( I HAVE THE EMAIL FROM HIM STATING SO) I've never had any issues with my staircase and I literally passed Jordan an extension cord to plug in his drill to install a new bottom staircase cover. Jordan was working on my staircase installing a new strip along the bottom of the staircase and guess where i have 3 issues. Even though I have It all on camera and photos of the staircase the day before with ZERO holes. I was there with my brother watching/helping from start to finish and Dale won't accept his team made a mistake.UV Pools will supply and install new stair sealing and terminating strips to ensure that your new pool liner is watertight. The supplied product will include two (2) sets of gaskets, three (3) piece sealing strips, and three (3) piece covering strips that work to conceal screws. During this process, we will accurately drill the blank strips out to match them to the original factory screw hole locations.BUT WAIT IT GETS WORSE...Dale used the WRONG PRODUCT TO PATCH the staircase/concrete and told me how great of a patch it is. I asked Dale what he patched my pool with and his response was "I have no idea" Sure enough his team used the wrong product to patch my pool. Dale consulted with the manufacture and another pool company (KREVCO) on how to patch the staircase/concrete they drilled into 3x. Dale now wants to come back for the third time to re drill the product out and re re patch the staircase/concrete. Dale's STORY HAS CHANGED LITERALLY THREE TIMES NOW and is currently a legal matter. Luckily enough I only put half the money down with this CROOK. I have caught Dale in five different lies and is it hard to do business with someone you CAN'T TRUST. Dale came to my house at 930 pm Monday night to collect the rest of the money. I said to Dale you're here to smooth talk me and collect the rest of check not to make these issues better. Dales response was "No that's not why I'm here" i asked why are you here then and he remained quite. why else would you show up a month and a half later at 930pm... Dale isn't willing to budge on price or take responsibility for what his crew did and thinks I should carry all the risk with potentially having to replace the concrete stairs after his crew drilled into the staircase 3x. New stairs are only $8000-$10,000.*** I ADDED A PICTURE TO SHOW NO HOLES ON THE BOTTOM OF THE STAIRCASE BEFORE UV POOLS CAME TO INSTALL.DALE STILL WON'T OWN UP TO THE DAMAGES.read more

From our initial contact all of our dealings with UV Pools staff have been outstanding. We required a fairly major... pool renovation with a number of questions, concerns and unknowns at the start. We sought 6 quotes. It was at the quoting process that UV separated themselves from the others because of their knowledge, explanations and thoroughness. We really felt that we received details and explanations from competent experts, along with discussions of options and possible issues to consider, which we did not get from the others. We very much appreciated this customer engagement, not only from the start, but throughout the project. When it came time for the renovation to go ahead we were amazed at how organized and efficient the whole team was. We received daily communication to let us know what was going to be happening and what time staff would be arriving. On the day the new pool liner was installed it was fun to watch the team in action. We LOVE our new pool liner. It’s stunning!! On advice we went ahead with the automatic chlorinator and the ultra violet sanitizer system. We would highly recommend UV Pools for service which is honest, upfront, responsive, competent and high quality, with great after installation support and follow up. Thank you UV team.read more

The experience with UV Pools was phenomenal and flawless. Their professionalism and hard work was incredible. I had one... consultation with the owner, Dale, he took great care in figuring out what we needed, he answered questions clearly and drafted up a quote. Once we hired them they were able to get to our house a week earlier then expected and the UV Pool team was amazing. They worked hard, enjoyed our kids and dog, and had everything done in a week. Every promise given was kept and our pool looks beautiful. They cleaned up the site, explained how to use our new skimmer, pump, etc. and were a joy. I wouldn't hesitate a minute to use them again...in fact, UV Pools will be the company we will continue to deal with. Highly recommend hiring them. Awesome work! Enjoy the photos...before...during...and after!read more

Thank you to UV Pools for friendly, prompt, and very well priced service! Upon opening this year, our pool pump died.... Our regular pool company was very disappointing to deal with, and we were left to make a decision about ordering online from Ontario, or looking around for a reasonable price locally on a Pentair VS Pump. Some local companies were charging up to a $1000 more on the same product! Julia came back with a very fair price and we were so happy we could afford to shop local. Meet our new pool pump - we lovingly refer to her as Julia, the one who saved our summer. Thanks again!read more

We had the pros from UV Pools out in the fall of 2019 to quote us on a new liner. They cam back and started the work at... the end of April. Everyone was very polite, the cleaned up after themselves and were mindful of the fact we had a dog & small kids to keep out of the pool area. I appreciated the detailed quote and the time they took to answer questions. I was surprised how quickly the liner went in after they pumped the old water out and removed the old liner. Very impressed. I would highly recommend and we can't wait to use it when the weather warms up.read more

Time finally came to have work done on the pool and there was only one company I wanted to deal with. Dale, Julie and... the crew made sure I did not regret my decision.

Dale and his crew did an amazing job. We had a major pool overhaul done. New liner, put in stairs, put in a new slide,... Rubaroc put all around the pool, new plumbing with filtration system and a UV Filter. He went over everything with us about what was needed to be done and what we did not need done.We had another pool company come down to give us quotes and discuss our needs. The other company said that they would break up all the concrete and re-pour everything. When Dale came down, he said that doing that would be a waste because 90% of our concrete was in great shape. He explained how he would cut out the parts that were breaking up and just pour that fresh concrete where it was needed. This saved us quite a bit of money.Also, we said we wanted a quote for replacing our pool heater as we had a heat pump and wanted to go to gas. Dale looked at our heat pump and recommend that we keep the one we had because it will be a lot cheaper to run and the one we had was a really good heater and is still in great shape. The other company we had down said that they could replace it, no problem, and added about $10,000 onto their quote.Other than that, their quote was very reasonable, they showed up when they said they would and did a great job. They cleaned up everything when they were finished and left the place spotless. There were a couple of days when they fell behind schedule because of rain or storms, but they always called to let us know that they were delayed.Just one word on their filteration system they installed. Amazing. We were blown away by the way it kept the pool free of debris. Our yard is surrounded by trees and normally we use our leaf skimmer net daily. This last summer, I only used it a couple of time, and that was only after a very windy or stormy day.We would definitely use them again in the future and would recommend them to anyone.read more

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,

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.

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.
