Bought our 780 Series SPA during covid. First, this was a bad time to order because of limited stock, color selection and especially their price (50% markup). The 800 lb. spa had to be delivered around back of the house so they parked on the side lot and tipped the trailer so the spa would drop onto its side and onto a clear piece of plastic which had one rope to drag it to its final spot. It had just rained the night before which made it impossible to drag the spa on the ground. The plastic piece had only one rope instead of two since the last people using it broke it off, thus making it difficult to "drag" with one person. Only two guys came to install it, even though I paid for three. LOL Never got reimbursed for this! They could not move it on the wet grass, so they put the spa back on to the trailer and drove on the wet grass to the back of the house to be dropped off again. Being that the ground was soft, we had lovely ruts which I had to fix later. With my help we proceeded to push this spa up three steps onto a concrete patio. I say it took two hours or more to complete this task.But that is just the beginning. LOL. I winterized it in the Fall 2022 and reopened it in the spring ~May 2023. When I opened the service access panel to reinstall the pump plugs etc, is when I noticed about an 1.5" of water in the bottom of the plastic tray the spa is built on. I could not determine the source of where water was coming from, since I had the entire spa covered with a tarp. I was not sure if the water was sitting there prior to the last season or not. You can only see the water in the corners (see pictures) and I noted that the (2x3") wooded frame supports is sitting in water, and something had to done soon before the wood rots. This is one of the biggest complaints I read about in customer reviews and now I see why. Anyway, since the Spa was under warranty I called 21st Century for service. The service man proceeded to take the spa lid and all four side-panels off. I noted he used one power philips screw driver through the entire process. He used the wrong bit to take the spa panel screws off and this by itself destroyed a half dozen or so screws. Basically he was lazy and did not want to go back to the service van to get the right size bit. He said it was cheap Chinese hardware was the problem. LOL Then, after poking 50 holes into the spa insulation (see pictures w/ black tape), he could not determine where the water was coming from. And get this, just before he put it all together, he said he did not see any water and implied it was all in my imagination. (See pictures showing water in corners of spa) Just before he left he said I have to pay him $120 for service call! LOL So now the issue was dropped in my lap to fix. Over the next few weeks I used my wet-vac to remove the water out of the two corners at the main access panel. I ran the spa and the pumps to see if the pumps or piping was leaking. Nothing! The only thing I could figure is rain water was leaking between the side panels and into the spa basin. So I still have the same problem . I called 21st Century Spa Service Manager, and basically he could not help me and gave me the direct phone number to the manufacturer. I tried calling the manufacturer several times and nothing. I could never get thru! I should of figured. So I rented some tools so I can lift one side of the spa and I drilled several 1/4" drain holes into the basin-corner (see pictures) on the side that was pitched towards to the lawn. As soon as the spa was put down on the patio, water came out of all the holes I drilled. (See pictures attached.) So for now the problem was resolved, but never found out how the water got into it in there in the first place? It is my conclusion that 21st Century just wants your money and customer care just don't exist. Not once did they try to follow up with me to see if I resolved my water problem. My advise, think twice before you buy from these people.

Fantastic service today from Mike, Carson, and Brett. We had a new hot tub delivered and the old one re-delivered to a friend. They did a fantastic job, were super friendly, and made our day. Thanks so much!

Had a catastrophic event after finally putting a deck on our pool, it was late in last season (2023) and we decided to wait until the spring (budget purposes). We were their first job this season and they did a FANTASTIC job! Mike and Carson worked all day to restore our pool to better than new. It was a weight off our shoulders and looking forward to using it lots this year! Eric was wonderful as well! Honored our quote from September. I always go to 21 Century for my pools needs this is all the more reason to continue! Thanks so very much!

Always had great experiences here. Any products recommended have been helpful in reducing the algae in our shade dominant pool. They’ve also been helpful with parts to my Hayward pump.

I had an excellent experience with 21st Century from start to finish. Mark took his time to explain the features and benefits of the hot tubs that were in stock, and was very patient and thorough as he answered all of my questions. Ultimately I chose 21st Century due to his industry knowledge. The delivery team consisting of Dan, Rob, and Eric were wonderful and made sure to thoroughly inspect the hot tub after getting it in place and ensure I didn’t have any further questions. All around I had a very positive experience and cannot wait to start enjoying my new hot tub.

If I could give zero stars I would. Just go somewhere else, don’t even bother with them. Terrible customer service once the sale is made, way overpriced, zero communication, pool installed incorrectly, installers left cigarette butts all over the yard and they do not stand behind any of their work. They also delete any negative comments or reviews from their Facebook page and block you.

Disappointed. Went in hear more than once and bought pool chemicals for algae and nothing helped even with a water sample. First trip to Johnsons Pools and algae was gone in less than 24 hrs.

Both employees I have worked with, one, a younger guy, and the other a woman were very helpful in trying to find the correct filter for my hot tub. They were also great at running a water test and getting me exactly what I needed to correct my initial issues. I highly recommend them for their service to the customer.

Had liner replacement completed. It did take a bit of time as it was the beginning of the season. However, we were given a realistic estimate on time frame. Eric was helpful and professional. Not a pushy salesman. Rich and Nate did an awesome job with the installation of the liner.

A pleasure to work with!From Salesperson Mark Frederick, CPO working with us on each detail to Eric Lipski, Operations Manager following up with us on orientation of pool mechanicals, 21st Century Pools & Spas takes a Soup-To-Nuts approach to pool construction. Eric's associate Cheyenne was also quite helpful on a myriad of post-orientation questions.The Crew Leader, Darren Antalek, was a cut above the rest. His eye before, during and post-construction was a wonder to witness! He could literally have his own podcast on pool construction and maintenance!His crew were courteous, professional, and friendly! Cody Dingman's ability during the backfill was nothing less than masterful!I'd be remiss if I didn't also make honorable mention to Cody Morton and Carson Skube on their contribution to the project as well. These guys were both amazing and they made the process as easy as such an undertaking can be. Thanks again!

UPDATE 4/25/23: It’s been 2 years since my pool install and 21st Century consistently continues to treat us like a VIP customer! Incredible local business with consistent high customer service! Always friendly, always helpful, always patient and wanting to make sure we get the best experience! Opening and closing of the pool is done with such care and efficiency! Thank you Christian and Mike! Special thanks to Michelle and Cheyenne who always help with our pool questions and service with such friendliness! Extra special thanks to Eric who goes above and beyond every time to check on our pool satisfaction and makes sure our pool is up to par to our needs! Eric is so knowledgeable and is excellent at sharing his sound advice! Highly recommend 21st Century Pools for all your pool needs!6/21/21 Review: 21st Century Pools provided us the most wonderful experience of designing and installation of our inground pool! Mark, our salesperson, was outstanding explaining every option and sharing his vast knowledge of experience as we decided on what we wanted! Cheyenne was wonderful giving us statuses on the schedule! Then the Install Crew showed up and were so attentive, asking exactly what we wanted, even saved some family shrubs we didn't think could be spared but they did! They were on time every day and answered our hundreds of questions throughout the process! They worked long, hot days and gave us statuses throughout the entire process and reviewed the day's work at the end of the day, so we knew exactly what to expect. The crew even got done a day early with the install process because they worked extra long days! We had an outstanding Project Lead with Darren! Darren was so easy to work with and welcomed our interruptions and many suggestions, always with a smile! The crew of Alex, Cody, Don and Nate worked incredibly hard too! Our site was a challenging one with hills and rocky soil, but they never complained even once, they worked through all our hurdles! Every one of the crew were so friendly and so approachable to talk with us! My husband and I set our expectations very high, so really appreciated the attentiveness they consistently displayed throughout the entire process! Darren and Crew sure worked hard through the heat and drizzly rain and never complained ever. 21st Century Pool Management did visits to our site all along asking if we were happy with the progress. Eric and Calvin were incredible talking with us on what to expect and asking what we wanted! Mark, our salesman, even came out a couple of times to check on us and asked how the install was proceeding! Then Eric came back days after the install to check on our satisfaction and answered more of our questions! The experience couldn't have been a better one! I highly recommend 21st Century Pools & Spas for pool installations and look forward to doing many years of business with them in the future!Services: General construction, Inground pool installation, Design, General repairs & maintenance, Swimming pool equipment maintenance, Swimming pool summerization, Winterization, Swimming pool equipment repair

So excited for the delivery of our hot tub. The entire experience from researching to purchasing to the delivery was top notch. Mark was very knowledgeable and no pressure sales. We were lucky that they had just received a delivery of hot tubs and we were able to purchase ours the same day. Dan and Rob delivered the tub early in the day and gave us all the necessary information and worked well with the electrician.

All the employees I've spoken to here have been friendly and knowledgeable. The salesperson and owner went over all of my options and recommended the best fit for my space and needs, despite more expensive options. They took the time to explain things thoroughly, kept in communication during the entire project, and completed the job on time. I love my new pool - thank you 21st! I cannot recommend them enough!Services: General construction, Remodeling, Design

I could not have asked for a more professional and pleasant experience! Never owning a pool before myself, I had not even the first clue how to winterize my pool. They were able to provide very easy to follow instructions, and the proper chemicals that even a first time could follow and use. Would recommend to anyone!Services: Swimming pool water analysis, Winterization

Worked with them to get my pool closed this year. Also plan to work with them next year for a total pump and filter replacement. So far they have been responsive and professional. The guys they sent out to close the pool actually ring the door bell and talk to me before going out to work on the pool.So far it is a much better experience than I've had with another shop in town. Hoping it stays that way and we can continue to do business into the future.

They do a great job they help me with testing my water and I buy all my chemicals from them. I googled and searched around their prices are about 10% cheaper than I could find online. The staff is always friendly the girls always meet you with a smile at the front desk. They have plenty of patients to help me get my water in the pool to the right levels. Everybody is very knowledgeable and very professional. They actually have a discount program that you purchase and you receive discounts all year long. Highly recommend them.They also have a separate company that can help you level concrete. It’s pretty amazing it’s called poly level definitely check it out if you have any concrete that has sunken like sidewalks, driveways patios, etc.
