Get matched with top swimming pool in ground builders or installers in your area

"⚠️ Read before deciding to go with this company! ⚠️ I regret ignoring the negative reviews when I chose Sweeney’s to install my pool. They damaged my property, have taken no accountability and have chosen a vindictive approach to the matter. I urge you to read my experience, and the other negative reviews posted, and think about whether you can trust them to work at your home. They excavated my yard at the end of November 2024 during heavy rain, then left the ground unbackfilled for 12 days. This left my concrete stairs unsupported, with the footing exposed (see photos) and the stairs became detached from my patio. When I contacted Sweeney’s with photos, they relied on their mason affiliate, Devin of Flawless Masonry, who stated the stairs were improperly constructed. THEY DID NOT ASSESS THE SITUATION IN PERSON, NOT THEN OR EVER! I spoke with Devin prior to excavation and he assured me that the stairs were ok and they would not need additional support, I have the text message proof. I never heard from Ken Sweeney directly; however, communication with Reed Communiello, the project manager, on behalf of Sweeney’s has been extremely disheartening. An agreement was discussed where Devin would resolve the situation at cost, at our expense. I received an email from Sweeney's attorney, which included a non-disparagement clause. I agreed to not speak about the issue with the stairs but I felt it left me without recourse should the remaining work not be completed satisfactorily. I agreed to the terms however, Sweeney’s contacted the Town of Hempstead inquiring whether my patio and staircase were built without permits, which unbeknownst to us they were (built prior to 1996; purchased the home in 2018). Sweeney’s rescinding the agreement. They think a homeowner does not have rights when structures are not permitted but that is not the case. My real estate attorney attempted to reach out to them through their attorney, but to no avail. I attempted to retrieve liability insurance. They submitted the only insurance required by the ToH, worker’s compensation, under a different company, JAS Aquatics. They also changed the Contractor Information Form listing the contractor as JAS Aquatics. When I questioned this, I was told “The entities doing the work are valid with the insurance submitted.” I am unsure if Sweeney’s does hold liability insurance or not. I hired a civil and structural engineer. The engineer's report confirmed that the structures were built properly, despite lacking permits. He noted that Sweeney’s was negligent for not supporting the stairs while leaving the footing exposed for 12 days, in which 6 of those days it rained. Sweeney’s dismissed the report—again, without ever coming to assess the situation in person. I am left with no choice but to demolish and rebuild the stairs myself. Due to their spiteful actions of reporting me to the ToH, I now need to have plans drawn up to obtain permits for my patio, stairs and enclosed entryway before any further work can be done. This not only delays the process, it escalates cost. My property has been left in disarray for over a month. I paid in full for the excavation process, yet my deep end is still not dug out. My gate has been disassembled and left that way, my existing pavers were destroyed during the excavation, and my back fence became uneven due to being left without backfill for 20 days. I had to request for them to come back to do the backfill so the fence didn’t collapse. There is also a pile of boxes on my driveway—some empty and others filled with equipment. If this review helps even one person avoid a similar experience, it will be worth it. The stairs existed for at least 30 years without any issue and only detached once Sweeney’s left the exposed concrete footing unsupported for 12 days in the rain. My situation may be unique, but the lack of accountability from Sweeney’s is not, as you can see from other reviews. You do not want to find yourself on the wrong side of Sweeney’s, because once you do they will treat you with utter disregard. Choose wisely!"

"The owner Nick and his crew (Mynor, Joshua & Ricardo) built a beautiful wood/vinyl gazebo from scratch for me for my backyard. I showed them a picture of a gazebo I liked that had a trex floor and a shingled roof and they were able to reproduce it. I love what they have created, and I have received many compliments from others. This company is very professional and very knowledgeable and I would definitely use their services again in the future. Give them a try, you won't regret it. Thank you so much NCC !!"

"From taking down the old deck to installing the wrap around deck with lights, clean up, it could not have gone smoother. Professional, reliable, trustworthy, great! Hoping to use this company again."

"Jorge and his brother were wonderful, the front porch was replaces exactly as I wanted it! They were professional, polite and cleaned every thing up. I highly recommend them . Barbara"

"Was professional and got it done in a timely fashion."

"Water Works was very responsive and made the process easy. I was able to book a service technician within a day and the work took less than a hour to complete."

"Yesterday we had our deck installed by Decks Unique. I had a good feeling about what we were going to be getting after we initially consulted with our salesman. He was great, and didn't try to oversell us. The deck was installed in ONE day! Demolition of the old deck only took a little over an hour. When the building crew was beginning the basic deck layout, I asked to speak to the foreman..and they said speak to "Lou". As it turns out, he's the owner of the company. He was on site and making sure everything got started correctly, and was there most of the day. Very reassuring. The guys did an excellent job and worked like a well-oiled machine. The deck came out perfect! They cleaned up and were very careful around our property. I looked it over carefully, and saw nothing but perfection! So far, it's been less than 6 hours since the deck was built, and if it wasn't raining right now, I'd be out there marveling at our beautiful "Trex Enhance Foggy Wharf." If you are considering having a deck built, by all means...use Decks Unique!."

"They do amazing work. I had permanent outdoor lights installed around the house. You can tell they take pride in their work, and it shows. I think it come out amazing."

"Excellent. On time and on budget"
