My wife and I met with 6 pool companies in our area over two years, a few of them more than once, in order to gain our impressions not only of costs but more importantly their knowledge and creativity. We had a checklist of several important drivers for our project. The company that met most of the checks was Prestige, so we decided to go with Mark and his team. Mark works closely with his landscaping partner, Sal, so getting comfortable with Sal was also important to us. On the cost side, after diligently comparing all the contractors on an apples to apples basis, which is very difficult because the products / offerings are somewhat different, we found Prestige and Sal to be not the cheapest, but certainly the best value for money. For the same money we would get much less from the other companies. In terms of executing the build of the pool and landscaping, the project took a bit longer than we had anticipated, but only because Mark and Sal listened patiently to our needs and wants and made changes to plans as necessary. Perhaps more importantly, they both took their time to ensure the project looked and operated perfectly. Because my wife and I are certainly not creative geniuses, we really appreciated Mark's creativity. In fact, this is what sold us on Prestige. Mark had a wonderful vision for our backyard oasis. We struggled with several things and he guided us in the right direction. It was a back and forth process and Mark took the time to let us gain comfort with the vision. In conclusion, we could not be happier with the experience of working with Mark and Sal. They are conscientious, creative, reasonably priced and friendly. Our backyard looks simply gorgeous - everyone who sees it agrees. I would recommend Prestige, Mark and Sal for your backyard oasis and stone work.
