DJ’s Clearwater Pools

After several estimates on my pool remodel I choose DJ’s Clearwater Pools. I called the owner and he was at my house within the hour. He was very professional. He didn’t try to high sell me or tell me «what I should do». . he asked me what I wanted to do and helped me with some ideas. He also showed me pictures of his previous jobs to offer more ideas. He was the best in pricing by far. The next day he and his crew were at my home by 7 a.m. they were quick on the demo and had it all cleaned up in one day. I was amazed! I was told by 2 other companies that that part would have taken several days alone. They were back to work the next morning doing the re-​plumbing for the pool and re did the electrical. All plumbing was pressure checked before they left the job. On the third day the tile and coping were done. On the 4^th and 5^th days yard was graded and poured concrete. After the concrete was dry the plaster was done. Pool was filled. The owner (John Goraleski) personally walked the job and inspected everything. In less than 10 days my disaster yard and pool turned into a beautiful place for me and my family to relax. I love my new yard and pool!

Don’t waste your time on this «company». The problem with most pool companies (like this one) is they sub everything out so you really have no idea what your end product will turn out like. Our pool from start to finish was a DISASTER. Every crew that came in to work on our pool made a MESS and it was like the left hand didn’t know what the right hand was doing. We almost had the wrong tile installed… they replastered our entire pool and forgot to tile the steps so they had to re-​do the plaster and the new plaster didn’t match… I had to call and call and call the owner to get things fixed because he would avoid my calls… and they screwed up our Baja step. Just save yourself a lot of money and headache and go somewhere else. It was a very expensive mistake on our end using this company.

Had him out to our house to check out the yard
Told him what we were looking for. He said we’d get an email with some designs the following Tuesday. Tuesday came and went, nothing. We called him and received no call back. Very unprofessional. Would suggest going with someone who will actually follow through. Don’t waste your time.

Sued him in court and won got judgement on 03/​12/​2014 then a few months later he went and filed bankruptcy on all his debts. It shows you what kind of man he is. I would not do business with him (John Goraleski) at all. you are gambling your money away.
