I am writing this letter to give my enthusiastic 100% endorsement of Gress Inc.

Having just completed our outdoor pool and landscaping and seeing it all come together at the end I still find myself just staring out into my backyard in utter awe, amazement, and pride and still can’t believe that it’s real!

My wife and I had been wanting to do a pool for a while and after drooling over many pictures online at Frontgate.com with their Master Guild Pool builders link, we definitely had decided that to get the quality of pool and entertaining areas that we wanted we were definitely going to go with a member of the Master Guild. That left us with Greenville pool and spas or Gress Inc. After meeting with both companies I felt confident that either company could turnover a great pool, but what set Gress above Greenville Pools was their “full service/turn key” team that could handle EVERY single aspect of the project: from digging the pool, shotcreting the pool, installation of natural hardscape stones around the pool/spa/decking/firepit/etc, to landscaping surrounding and completing the final project. When you go with Gress you can rest assured that your project will far exceed and preconceived idea or picture you have in your mind.

Another positive before the project even began was the help of Mike in the initial design process of the pool. I can’t tell you how many hours he spent at my house going over different pool designs/layouts on his computer program. Mike was definitely never pushy or frustrated with us despite hundreds of changes that we made. He had great ideas and was not going to be happy until he knew we were 100% satisfied.

I have always been a huge fan of finely designed pools and all the cool additions that some people come up with to make their backyards a true oasis, and two of my favorite TV shows to see these are MTV Cribs and HGTV Groundbreakers. I now view these shows with more appreciation to all of the hard work that goes into planning and executing such works of art, but now there is something different when I watch them. I now look at them and end up saying that my pool design/landscaping/firepit looks even better!

If you are considering a pool, rest assured you should let Gress Inc. do the job, and you can sit back and relax knowing that your project will definitely turn out great and you will probably be the most popular house in your neighborhood.

Couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product ( pool and spa)

After meeting with several pool designers/builders, Michael Gress and his team were an obvious choice. Michael and his team are subject matter experts who are professional and responsive. I couldn’t be more pleased with the finished product ( pool and spa). The memories my family and I have made are priceless. I’d also highly recommend the maintenance services. As a new pool owner, they have answered countless questions and helped me expertly maintain my pool. Perla and Jason are the absolute best. I am most appreciative that even years after the final install, Michael is still as responsive as during my project. Thank you , Michael ! If you are considering a pool, I would highly recommend Michael Gress and his team.

Fit our budget and exceeded our expectations

Michael and Tony took our requests, such as a fire pit, wading area for the kids, hot tub and created a spectacular pool that fit our budget and exceeded our expectations. They also suggested a better position for the pool in order to maximize the rest of the space in the yard. The workmanship was outstanding and Michael and Tony were very easy to work with. When we had to move our house sold in 9 days, in a depressed market. This was in no small part due to the beautiful, inviting pool. The new owners loved the design, especially the hot tub overflow into the pool. Thanks,

The pool turned out beautiful and the landscaping looks wonderful

Dear Michael, I am writing this letter to thank you for a job well done! I greatly appreciate all the personal care you took in our project. The pool turned out beautiful and the landscaping looks wonderful. I also can appreciate the promptness in returning phone calls and your quickness to response to any problems or questions. Although you may not have always had the answers, thank you for inquiring about them through your resources. If we can be of any reference to further clients please do not hesitate to let us know.

Michael and the ENTIRE Gress team were great to work with. From the concept stage of design, permitting, through the construction phase, and even training on equipment they were professional and thorough. I am totally happy with every aspect of their work and would highly recommend them.

He designed a beautiful pool for our lot and we enjoy it year round

Gress Inc. came highly recommended to us when we built our new home. We were able to view several Gress pools and loved the beauty and uniqueness of each one. Everyone raved about Michael and his crew and their stellar customer service. We were not disappointed. Michael is very professional and responsive. He designed a beautiful pool for our lot and we enjoy it year round. Michael did an amazing job and we are thrilled with the results.

We love our pool and our only regret is we didn’t do it sooner. Best decision ever

We put in our pool/spa grilling area 5 years ago and it was the best decision we have ever made. We interviewed 5 pool contractors, narrowed it down to 3 and asked for them to submit design that would be most appealing for our sloping backyard. Hands down Gress delivered the best design listening to all our wishes and dreams. His stone guy is the best I have seen with such creativity and precision. We have maintained our pool using Gress pool maintenance every other week and this individual is such a hard worker always responds to my text, calls and is very polite. He was also part of the install crew and I witnessed his work ethic during the process. Diego is top notch hard working. We love our pool and our only regret is we didn’t do it sooner. If you are considering a pool feel free to reach out to me. Best decision ever.

They also have an outstanding service team that is very responsive and guarantees their work

We built a new home and wanted an in ground pool and patio that was unique and modern. We chose Gress because he listened to what we wanted and came up with an incredible design that not only met the challenges of our backyard but exceeded our expectations. He incorporated the fire and waterfall features that we wanted along with a spa, grill and eating area. He brought a completely new dimension to our backyard. They also have an outstanding service team that is very responsive and guarantees their work. We would highly recommend Gress’ services.

I cannot speak highly enough to the beauty of the pool

Michael and his team installed my pool and have maintained it for the last 4 to 5 years. I cannot speak highly enough to the beauty of the pool, that we designed together, and the quality of the workmanship! The pool has been a lovely place of fun and love for family and friends. The team who have maintained and been the operational side of the business for Michael have always been on point and a pleasure to work with! I would highly recommend Michael Gress and team if you are considering a pool!
