My wife and I just ordered new pool from PlaMor pools and we could not be happier. We worked with Christina mostly but Jennifer helped a bunch too. What great people. We even went back a few days later and bought a Black Icon grill which I love. I would highly recommend PlaMor and tell Christina that Mike and Linda sent you
Absolutely outstanding service. The front counter workers were amazing from the beginning when I walked in, directing me to the area they test water, and at the end making sure I had everything and was ready to check out.Their water testing lab was outstandingly fast and accurate. Isaiah is very knowledgeable and understanding in helping people like me who dont know what theyre doing. My pool was what Id call an army green and he helped me turn it back that pretty blue.The chemicals are high grade and while somewhat expensive compared to other stores, completely worth it. Years past Ive used other companies and never gotten my pool clear so quickly. I absolutely adore this company and wont hesitate to come back!
We cant say enough about the experience we had with Pla-mor replacing our liner. They stayed with their quote and showed up before they promised and did a fantastic job!! We highly recommend them!!
Ida’s remnants filled my pool and skimmer with leaves. I turned the pump off to remove the skimmer basket only to discover the plastic ring around the skimmer was cracked. I cleared the leaves and turned the pump back on only to hear a loud hum. It didn’t work! I consulted with Jacob at Pla-Mor Pools, got the parts I needed and fixed both problems in under 15 minutes. I am back in business. Much appreciated!
I thought they were a pool place. So you would think they would have pools. They do NOT! If you want a pool from them you have to order it this year and get it next year🤦♂️. Really? I needed a ladder for a pool I bought elsewhere but they didnt have any ladders and they would not sell the ones on display. So if you are a pool place you would would think you would have pools and pool ladders, but that is not the case. That is like KFC not having chicken or mash potatoes 😕. I guess they can test your water and sell you chemicals but if you dont have a pool, you dont need that service either. So sad 😞
Fully stocked. We got acid for pool and a new skimmer pole. Very friendly and helpful staff. Store wasnt crowded and easy in/out. Recommend
Needing a new in-ground pool liner at the beginning of the pool season is never a good thing, and this year was especially tough with product delays everywhere. The staff at Pla-Mor Pools in Mechanicsville were helpful and patient right from the start of this process, from Julianne (our first wonderful and knowledgeable contact), to Kenny (who provided the quote quickly and came over to measure as soon as we made our decision), to South (who helped us order the liner we wanted), to Jacob (who answered so many questions and got us scheduled as quickly as possible), and finally to Ben and Anthony (who did the liner installation). I was told we’d be swimming the same day our old liner was removed and the new liner was put in, and that is exactly what happened. We’re very happy with the service we received from Pla-Mor Pools and we would highly recommend them for any pool needs.
These folks are very knowledgeable and very patient! I can’t say enough about their amazing customer service! 😊
Very helpful staff...plenty of info provided regarding pool packages.
We have had an in ground pool in our yard since 1981. Over the past 40 years Pla-Mor Pools have been our go to pool service, and other pool needs. Need chemicals? They offer a full line of chemicals for pools and hot tubs. Need your water tested? They do it. Need a new pump or filter? They carry a full line of products. How about new toys for the summer? Yep, they have plenty to chose from. Pool liner? Massive selection to chose from, at affordable pricing. Installed by a professional and courteous crews.40 years of loyalty boils down to one major factor, SERVICE!Over the years problems occur when you own a pool. Pla-Mor always responded with top notch service, in as fast as 24 hours.A recent example of their service happen in the past few days when we opened our pool. All went smoothly until I went to start the pump. It just would not prime no matter what I did. I knew that they would be busy with opening customers pools for the season. They were backed up until June. Jacob, their service supervisor, called me back later the same day, and taught me Pool Plumbing For Dummies, Part 1. There had to be air leaking in somewhere. His suggestion to tighten all possible connections was spot on the money. Untightened and then re-tightened all possible connections, and yahoo. The pump has been running fine since. Jacobs timely phone call saved me time and money. Its been 24 hours and the the pool is vacuumed and looking great.Once again, great service from Pla-Mor Pools. This is why I will be a customer for life. Highly Recommended!
Nice staff, kind and very helpful.
I have had the most amazing experience with Pla Mor Pools. This company is the epitome of excellence and customer service. I have dealt with two other pool establishments but neither one of those come close to the level of customer oriented service. I truly appreciated the timely responses I have received as well as the quality work performed. Top notch business and they have a customer for life. Thanks Kenny and Jennifer.
Staff is great and always helpful.
These folks are fantastic and will save you a fortune. I was there today and the woman at the counter was very helpful and the guy who came out to assist explained in detail how to install the part I needed.
Customer service has been great!The house we bought has an unground pool which needed a complete over haul. Pla-Mor has been very pleasant to work with and has helped us out tremendously with advice and service. They gave us many options . I never felt like they were trying to “over sell” us.The installers did a wonderful job and were very courteous and accommodating!So glad we chose PlaMor!
Mention an Intex pool and they will look.at you like you dont belong and need to go to Walmart.
Great people to deal with, theyve helped us for years to keep our pool up and running.
Mary Jo has been so very helpful! She has answered my text messages promptly, called when needed, and been so very helpful. We look forward to continuing our relationship and work with Pla Mor.
AMAZING professionals!! Terry and Jimmy came out to my house to install a PC Board. They called to let me know what time they would arrive. They answered ALL my questions about my Hot Tub and even make some checks on it for me. They told me everything they were doing and showed me what I needed to look for going forward. This is my first Hot Tub so I had no clue about anything and if my questions were getting on their nerves I never knew it. I know what company I will be calling for any future business concerning my Hot Tub. You have excellent professionals in Terry and Jimmy!!
Play mor Pools redid the liner for my parents pool. After Play mor installed, we have had absolutely no issues for 2 years. Seems to be holding up well and we are very happy. Their retail location has been a huge help for us in getting our pool ready for the season. They test the water every year and sell on the chemicals to make it right. Jacob has been great to work with and I would recommend their business.
These are the best people! The owner makes sure the staff are knowledgeable of the products and are honest with their sales. I have never been disappointed!
Cant say enough positive things about this company! We recently used them to replace a liner & rehab a pool that hadnt been opened in many years. Their team arrived prepared for the large job at hand, and did a fantastic job! It is pleasure to do business with such a professional and knowledgeable group of people. We certainly plan to continue to use PlaMor for all of our pool needs.
People were great, they knew and had what I needed prices were high but a small inconvenience for good service. Will continue to do business with you.Thanks
Jacob one of the employees was extremely helpful and straightforward. Absolutely no buyers remorse. Currently the best purchase we have bought in our life.
We have been working with PlaMor for going on ten years now. The staff has always been friendly and helpful. We appreciate that they keep their prices competitive. Many times Ive reached out for advice and its always been good.
Pla-Mor Pools is the company that did my pool. It took them two times to finish everything on my pool the right way. Their trucks and machines totally RUINED my yard and it hasnt looked the same since. There is still tire marks and the yard is all messed up.They also hit my familys basketball hoop with their trucks. Their employees would take 3 HOUR lunch-breaks. Guess what happened next. They finished most of the pool with a lot of problems, but, they put the liner in and it had a hole the size of a penny in it. The first time we swam in it, I noticed this hole. We had to put a penny in there to keep it from totally messing up. The pool also was a couple inches too shallow. The employees were horrible, the work was horrible, the job they did ended up being really bad, and the workers did not care about doing a good job but instead getting the job done. At the end of the project, we had to hire someone else to actually do a good job.
My husband and I have used these folks for quite a while. Their service department helped troubleshoot and repair our spa even though it’s not a brand they sell. We had no idea how to take care of a spa, but the folks in their store were super patient and willing to teach us what we needed to do. Highly recommend Pla-Mor Pools!
If you use Baquacil for your pool, its the only place to go. Water testing gives you extensive Baquacil specific results. They test and advise on chlorine pools too of course, but a lot of places arent equipped to properly test Baquacil pools, expertly advise and have all the chemicals you need. They also open and close pools and perform repairs. They sell hot tubs, and Im sure they do a bunch of other stuff, but I go there for my pool. Their repairs and pool opening and closing are all done right. Quality work. No shortcuts.
I have been dealing with Pla MOr pools now going on 33years when they installed my 20-40 in ground vinyl linerpool here in Goochland, Virginia. They are very professional, friendly, accommodating, and do excellent work. Thank you
Every time I go there my experience is good. I shop for Big Green Egg stuff and the people there are always very friendly and helpful. Loyal customer for over a few years now
I was referred here after dealing with a not so friendly pool company. The customer service is fantastic. They dont make you feel stupid when you dont know how to do even the simplest of tasks with the pool. I live in Chester and will continue to make the 30 minute drive to Pla-Mor Pools because I trust my pool and everything involved with it to them.
This place is a damn joke! They may act knowledgeable on the surface but once you dig a little more into a question they are baffled and they need to research, which you dont get an answer to. Additionally, if you need them to do a service call on your spa they will charge you $166 for the technicians time. Absolutely crazy. Lastly, dont waste your time in calling them to fix your spa because they wont fix it but your still getting the bill. The technician that came out to fix my spa said he had no idea what was wrong with it and would not charge. When we relayed this to Pla Mor Pools they said, that is not his decision. Im gong to all social media outlets so people are aware of the outlandish acts of robbery this company permits.
My wife and I knew last summer that our pool liner would need to be replaced. We were not looking forward to doing it because it seemed overwhelming and expensive . Pla-Mor changed that!Sarah was extremely helpful with helping us find the perfect liner and Jacob was always available to answer all of our questions. Our liner was installed by Ben and Austin. They were so professional and the whole process was seamless. Now we have a beautiful liner that we can enjoy for many years.I highly recommend Pla-Mor to anyone who is looking for an honest, reliable and professional pool company.
Pleasant workers. Many nice items to interest you. Very helpful
I love, Love, LOVE all the folks at Pla Mor! Knowledgeable friendly staff that will solve ALL you water problems!They open and close my pool every year and do a fantastic job!I HIGHLY recommend!!!
Walked in today with my wife with inclinations of making a purchase. When we walked in we were greated by a lady behind the counter. My wife asked if they sold softubs. She said no and then proceeded to ignore us while we walked back and forth looking at 2 other floor models. My wife even asked if they were having a sale......still no effort.We will purchase elsewhere. Good luck.POST VISIT UPDATE: I appreciate the owner Jennifer responding to my previous post. I did go back in and meet with her a few days later to look at their products. I found her to be knowledgeable about what they carried and she was very apologetic for what had occurred on my first trip in. I have purchased another unit from a different company but would encourage folks to give them a try.
Pla mor pools is our new go-to pool service company. Quick response, on-site diagnosis & replacement of defective pump motor, at a comparable cost. Techs explained approach & offered quick tutorial. Also offered suggestions/recommendations for pump maintenance. Service Mgr Jacob followed up w/courtesy call a few days later & answered other pool product qs. Very professional organization. Highly recommend.
Helpful staff, free water testing. A little pricey but isnt any hobby/luxury.
The service and expertise here are outstanding. The prices arent exactly cheap, but theres also not much in the way of local competition either.
I went to pla-mor pools on june1 2018 and i bought the water tech volt fx 4li if you want a handheld pool vac this is the way to go.i used it this morning and i am so happy with the way it works and i had alot of leaves and dirt and it picked up everything and it is so easy to use. the people at pla-mor are so helpful and willing to tell you the truth of what works. thanks to all the employees at pla-mor for making my cleaning the pool so easy u guys are the best. i have been to pool places before and the people at pla-mor are honest. i recommend the volt fx 4li its awesome u will be happy u bought it.
Was sold a lining that was bigger than the size of the pool and the lining crinkled after the first year and eventually pulled away from both sides. Received a call from a linen install inquiry today and the owner Kenny was rude and hung up on me and when I called back an associate asked for my name and placed me on hold and then stated that Kenny was on another line. Very unprofessional and I will never do business with this company again. He then calls back right after this post. What a joke! As far as the reply to the email explaining the age of the lining but not addressing the oversized lining sold or the warranty that he sold us that he refused to cover. We were also charged $150 for you to come out and repair it within the first year that it started having an issue. If you knew that where I live would present an issue then why take my money as a new homeowner of this property and sell me a warranty that you refused to cover?
They really seem to want to help and make sure that chems are right and safe.
Theses guys have the best service I have found in town!I did not buy my spa from them but it didnt mater to them.When I was having problems with getting and keeping my water clear they have always been very helpful even when I was very frustrated with my spa.I have tried other spa places and will not go any where but here. They will help you get your water clear and keep it that way. Now because of the great people at Pla- Mor pools I LOVE MY SPA!
We just purchased our above ground pool last month and as new pool owners weve had a ton of questions, especially regarding the chemical combinations. Whether we call, email or stop by the store their service is second to none. South answered all of our questions when we purchased the pool and Jacob has been our go to person for chemical questions. We would highly recommend them to anyone interested in a pool or spa! We look forward to doing business with Pla Mor for many years to come.The PhillipsAylett, VA
Very nice people and knowledgeable. -Chuck Brodersen, Henrico, VA
Found a place on broad st. Leslie pools better place and prices,treatment. The treatment was very bad ! Treated us really bad prices keep changing after we buy same things.
My salt system display board went bad after opening the pool for the season. I contacted my pool builder/service store to check if it was still on warranty. It turned out it was and a claim needed to be filed for replacement. I tried to file the claim myself, but had to use an authorized (Hayward) manufacturer service center. My service person said they can file the claim for me but only the part is warranted and not the labor, and it would be $125 do it. The problem is, it literally takes 30 seconds to swap the display. I do understand that they have to send a technician to do it and it costs them time/money. However this was just excessive in my opinion to charge that much.Well I declined and contacted Pla-Mor-Pools. The store manager told me hed look into the particulars of filing a claim and will let me know how wed go about it. I have received a call that same day from Sarah who said that theyre working with a regional sales rep to get this part replaced so I dont have to wait for it to be shipped (since the store didnt have it in stock). The next morning she called again asking if Hayward sales representative has a permission to enter my backyard and replace the part. I asked, how much would it be and was told, no cost. I couldnt believe it! I came back from work and voila- new display. Pla-Mor-Pools did all this for me free of charge. I wasnt even their customer, they didnt service my pool nor did I shop in their store....And yet they came through for me. What a customer service! Its a shame my own service store/builder that I paid tens of thousands of dollars to just a few years ago wasnt interested in providing similar service to his customer. Nobody offered to call the sales rep they buy from locally and check if he could help....Why bother - wheres the profit in that...Somehow Pla-Mor-Pools was willing to go the extra mile.....Thank you very much Pla-Mor-Pools. I will not look anywhere else for my swimming pool needs from now on.
I have a swim/spa and stop in several times a year to test the water at season start up and when the chems go cattywampus. The people at the Ashland store have always been helpful whether I needed chems or not. They never pressure me to purchase anything even if the test says I need a particular chem. Let me make this point: they never pressure me to buy before I leave and have always been patient and explained my test thoroughly. Huge plus for Pla-Mor Pools!My only criticism of Pla-Mor in Ashland is that the store is very disheveled, appears dirty and unorganized. I get it, its not a showroom but it shouldnt look like a storage shed either. Every time I go there it looks like its going out of business. I get very worried because there arent any pool supply stores close. You cant test water over the internet... I have several types of test kits but its always nice to get that check and balance and some good advice on how to fix an algae bloom and why it happened.Thank you Pla-Mor for all you do and your help but, got clean your room :D
We purchased and installed our pool in the Fall of 2011 and have worked with PlayMor each year since. We are very pleased with the support and advice weve received. Their water testing service has been spot on and Im sure a primary reason our water has remained crystal clear. We use the Baquacil CDX system and have been very satisfied.
Plamore put in our pool in 2003 and we have been very happy with the level of service rendered by them.
It has been an absolute pleasure dealing with mechanicville Pla-Mor Pool. I love everything about them.If i had known how easy it would have been to maintain a crystal clear pool water enviroment, we would have purchased the inground pool. Our family, friends and nieghbors compliment on how well our pool looks everytime they come over...(coarse this is a great head sweller) but i do confess, to all how well im treated everytime i walk in with a water sample to be annilized, how thier professional and knowledgeable staff are. Thank you Pla-Mor for helping me enjoy my recreational time to its fullest and keeping it crystal clear.
Pla-Mor pools has been a tremendous help for us with the opening and maintenance of our pool throughout the year. Again this year when we opened our pool, given the amount of rain and up/down temps, farms with crop sprayers nearby, it was a mess. The water was green, actually untestable at first. We worked with Jacob right from the start and four days later, were able to go swimming in the pool. Jacob is by far the most knowledgeable, patient, informative and personable associate when it comes to pool support. We have labeled Jacob as “super chemist” when he is involved with providing the guidance/direction of steps and quantity of “correct” chemicals needed for each situation to get the pool ready for use and throughout the season. We mention “correct” chemicals since there are many algaecides for example and guessing which one is the appropriate one to use given a situation, there is no guessing when working with Jacob. Thanks again to Jacob and Pla-Mor pools.
I have dealt with the Mechanicsville Pla-Mor since 1998, we researched all the local pool stores to have a pool built and have help taking care of it. Having a national chain like Pla-Mor was a plus, but what really made our minds up was this is a family owned business! A father has started it, passed it on to his sons, and now their sons are learning the pool biz! With all these decades of knowledge how can you go wrong? They have seen ALL the products and ALL the pool problems over the years! I can honestly say that my experience owning a pool has been a pleasant one, because of the well trained staff, and the attention given to the customer. Pool schools are available, as are the latest in pool technologies. A well trained staff is the key to any successful business, at this Pla-Mor everybody can answer your questions with the background of decades of pool knowledge professionals to back them up! Over the years our business relationship has become a personal one also! Employees are friends now, and the welcome addition of grand children ensures the future of this great business! Thankyou! We love our pool and the experience of dealing with a business that truly cares about their customers! Spring, Summer, and early Fall you can find me at our pool! Proud, and enjoying the compliments of many guests on a well maintained pool.
Great customer service. They really know their stuff.
Worst communication and unprofessional. Got into job and took a deposit and then when the job became a little more difficult they bailed. Always had some new excuse. Stay away.
Sales clerk very friendly and knowledgeable
