Oasis pools did an amazing job installing our pool a few years ago. We have been enjoying it the last 3 years. Recently we had a liner problem and Brian, service manager, was very quick to fix the problem and keep me updated even though we were out of town. I would highly recommend their services.

Oasis Pools installed a pool at my house 3 years ago and did a fantastic job. Everyone from the Owner, the office staff, and the field workers were considerate and accommodating. If you are considering a pool make sure you give the team at Oasis an opportunity, you won't regret it!Mike

Chip was able to deliver on a high quality product that exceeded all expectations. No regrets-and have used our backyard to build incredible memories with family and friends.

Chip, Nicole and their team did an amazing job transforming our backyard into the Oasis we wanted with the right materials and look for a unique space. The design phase was intensive but their renderings and planning helped tremendously. Certain features were customized on-site as the build was happening for the best aesthetic but they kept us fully informed and involved. This is our first full season with the new pool and features and are excited for warmer weather!

Oasis Pools did a fantastic job bringing our dream pool and backyard to fruition this fall. We knew as soon as we showed our inspiration photos to Chip and team that they would be a great match for our project.We put in the pool as we were also building a house, so there were lots of moving pieces and schedules. Oasis was easily our most organized and professional contractor on site. They are great communicators and do what they say they will do. We told them that our goal was to be in the pool and spa for the holidays and they made it happen!We look forward to working with them on maintenance moving forward.
