Horrible experience! 15+ months to finish the job, zero communication throughout, wrong measurements, trashed our yard. we could go on. Would not recommend hiring for pool build at all.

You are dumping dirt and placing pool equipment without taking the neighbor's consent. We did construct our pool with Patiopools and they were strictly following rules - we had to get prior written approval of our neighbor before the construction began and had to send before and after photos of the neighbor's lawn to ensure the pool construction shovel machines and cranes did not damage the neighbor's lawn and sprinklers. Please ensure you take care of prerequisites before proceeding with construction.

A couple of issues to pay attention to but overall a good company and good rating I worked with Mr. Masher and I have to say he is on top of the game, responsive, quick to deal with issues. Overall, Cody pool staff are good, accommodating and professional. I took a star away in this review because Cody pool has difficulty properly training their new staff- in my case, it led to a huge main drain clogged situation that was a pain to deal with.
This could easily have been prevented with simply common sense training. I still would do business with Cody pool but I suggest you stay heavily involved throughout the process and speak up quick with any concerns. One quick comment on the actual subcontractor they hired called 'Florida Pool Finishers'. Their service guy did a overall half poor job dealing with after-care service. I would ask Cody to use other resurfacing subcontractors for better service.

FYI on our experience with Cody Pools (AKA Challenger Pools). Their remodel division has been a disaster to work with. Countless delays, material shortages, mismatched materials, and EXTREMELY poor workmanship. Zero accountability, project oversight, or professionalism. They apparently cannot afford or retain good subcontractors in the Florida market and have no influence with suppliers. You will not be getting the largest pool builder in the U.S. - just an inept staff they inherited after purchasing Challenger Pools.

Jennifer Ramirez has been a treasure this entire remodel process. Such a professional! A simple resurfacing and tile replacement turned into a major project when our poor older pool had way more repair needed than we thought. We LOVE the travertine surface! Brian Masher near the end of the project has been so helpful - even Fedexing our phone we left in the driveway one day. So many other folks also worked with us on this journey- we would never use anyone else!

DO NOT USE CODY POOLS-first read all reviews on all sites-Google, BBB, yelp, etc. We fell victim to them and now we have the biggest disaster in our backyard for a year. They shot the grade on our pool incorrectly and the patio around our pool came out an 1 to 2 inches shorter than my existing patio. We had marble coping installed, their contractors scratched most of it. I contracted for a roof off the back of my house, they never checked code or even with the company who was building it. It couldn't be built! So yes, my project is a failure due to Cody Pools.

I want to Thank Larry Trainor at Cody Pools, N. Tampa location! Larry walked us through every step of our pool wants and needs and always recommended with honesty suggestions about designs for final outcome of our pool! He always returned my call no matter how long it was that our pool was complete. If I had any questions he would follow up with me or refer me to appropriate person. Our pool is as built through pandemic but builders did their very best to get pool done. I highly recommend Cody Pools! This is the second time we have had a pool done by their company!
