Testimonials
As an architect I have worked with Greg Darvin of Pristine Pools on a number of exciting pool projects over the last few years. Every project was a great success. I have tremendous confidence in their organization and have recently hired Pristine Pools to build my own pool. The results exceeded my expectations. I am very appreciative of Greg's interest in understanding how the pool contributes to the overall design goals of the property. Greg is very forthcoming about providing options and information to his clients regarding current pool design and systems. He is a pleasure to work with and adds value to the project.
I highly recommend Pristine Pools and look forward to working with them on our next project.

Last year in early spring my wife and I decided to build a pool. We met with a few contractors and told each of them that in addition to building a great pool, it was important to us that the pool be completed by July 1st. We chose Pristine Pools because we felt like everything about their operation was top-shelf, and because they do all of the work themselves. We felt this was critical because, without having to rely on subcontractors, they would be in a better position to control both the quality and the timing of the job. It turns out that Pristine built a beautiful Pool and delivered it exactly on time. We couldn't have been happier with our decision to choose Pristine Pools. Thank you Greg and the rest of your team!!

My wife and I spent several weeks interviewing prospective pool companies before ultimately choosing Greg Darvin and his company, Pristine Pools. We could not be happier with our choice.
From the start, we recognized not only Greg's professionalism but also his desire to build a pool that was beautiful and lasting. In short, Greg wasn't just digging a hole in the ground and filling it with water. He was designing a pool that would be the centerpiece of our yard, the focal point of an outdoor space where we would gather for meals, relaxation and, of course, a few laps.
Every step of the way, Greg was involved with the look and design of the pool, making sure we were happy with the tile and stonework and, ultimately, the finished product. A choppy and uneven backyard has now been replaced by a gorgeous, shimmering pool. It is a wonderful extension of our home and a testament to the hard work and artist's touch that Greg and Pristine Pools brought to the project.
We are absolutely thrilled and wholeheartedly recommend Pristine Pools to anyone interested in having a pool done right.

I am pleased to extend and share my experience in using Pristine Pools for the recent completion of our swimming pool at our Sag Harbor residence. As a designer myself, I am extremely happy with the manner in which Greg and his staff were able to help realize my vision and stay within our very tight budget. From filing the permits to the final grading, I was very impressed with the level of service and their ability to finish the job on schedule. My wife and I have received countless compliments on our pool and I believe it is a direct result of hiring the right swimming pool contractor. I would definitely recommend Pristine Pools to anyone considering the installation of a swimming pool or Spa.
