Apex Pools

"The decision to select this pool builder was influenced by the salesmanship of Anthony, who comes across as the owner, but is not. As parents of a small child, our primary concern was completing the pool before moving in to avoid ongoing construction hazards. Despite Anthony's assurances, we faced issues immediately after moving in. Water levels dropped daily, an abnormality Anthony attributed to evaporation due to our black plaster, a detail not disclosed initially. After substantial water loss and high bills, Anthony's crew located a leak caused by improper tiling in the infinity edge. The repair process turned our backyard into a construction site. Workers left debris, rebar, and even dumped materials in our creek. Although Anthony reimbursed us for water bills and offered sports tickets, the continuous issues persisted. Unannounced visits, excuses for delays, and poor workmanship plagued the experience. Multiple problems arose, including faulty hot tub heating elements and poorly secured pavers around the pool. The safety fence installation was also a battle, with the company demanding exorbitant fees to reinstall it properly. Our frustration peaked when Anthony failed to address lifting pavers, a problem exacerbated when removing the safety fence. Despite promises and follow-ups, he ignored us for months. When pressed, he claimed the issue wasn't covered under warranty and cited a lack of available crew for repairs. We were more than happy to even pay for the repair, but he simply ghosted us. Attempts to escalate the matter to his superior were met with silence. He literally ghosted us after spending 130k+. We were initially told that Apex was more expensive than other pool builders because of the quality. We discovered others in our neighborhood faced similar problems, such as sinking pavers and foundation issues. We caution potential clients against falling for the salesmanship, because it is just a facade for poor quality and communication once they receive payment. To note- the positive reviews here are from the actual owners and business associates."

"As a mechanical engineer by degree and an industrial project manager in career I take design and contractor selection very seriously. This was not the first pool we've built so we knew the ropes pretty well and we had our desired pool/spa layout set up front. For our 15,000+ gallon pool in Edmond I went through the effort of obtaining six different proposals. Anthony Marquez of Apex Pools rose to the top of the pack quickly on his calm professionalism and industry knowledge. His personal touch as the hands-on owner/operator combined with his proposal sealed the deal. Our dig started at the end of October and the construction was complete at the end of February. Four months is pretty good timing for a project of this size considering we had some awful winter weather this season and of course the holidays to schedule around. Anthony was pretty much onsite every day that we had active work underway. Any defects I noticed and called out were fixed immediately. If you are in the OKC area (and beyond) and in the market for a pool, I highly recommend giving Apex a call to quote your job."

"Apex pool did and exisiting in-ground remodel for us. They were very responsive, got the job done fast, and have been easily accessible for any questions/help. I would gladly recommend this company to anyone!"

"From the initial consultation to the job being completed I was very impressed with the work that Apex Pool did. Anthony did a great job explaining the entire process & kept working constantly on the job until it was complete."
