What our clients say...
Andrew called back the same night I submitted my inquiry and photos for
a pool removal. He sent a proposal the next day. We signed the contract with him a week later because of his responsiveness and thoroughness.
It seemed like a huge project to me. But Andrew and his staff had an SOP,
standard operating procedure. They knew exactly what to do each day. Andrew also had a quality contract, everything was explained in there.
There were a couple of surprises. One of his machines had a glitch, would not work. He got his head down and fixed it, then it was working fine.
The other surprise was that our 'vinyl' pool ended up with very thick concrete walls. Andrew and his two workers had to work extra hard and extra hours. Of course we paid him extra money, but they pushed hard to get it done with no complaints.
They came in early each day, worked hard for several hours. I felt bad they had to work in very cold weather. Andrew is very down-to-earth, hard-working and humorous. He and his workers did a great job with the pool removal and clean-up.
Now I have my backyard back. I appreciate all the work they put in and I highly recommend Andrew of Pools Removed at Outdoor Finishes LLC. - Monica Y, Potomac MD 12/5/24

A class A job on all fronts. Andrew’s attention to detail is amazing. He did exactly what he said he would do and a little more. All right on budget and schedule. We worried about the tight space he had to work in as the pool was very close in to the house. After the first day of watching (and boy did we enjoy watching), we knew we had no worries. We are very happy with this project!

Andrew and his crew just gave us back a yard we can actually use most of the year !
From the estimate, answering my numerous questions on the process, and to the contract he was extremely informative and responsive. That attention to detail continued even after the contract and deposit. Scheduling was accurate, the work exactly as described. Only problem- why didn't I do this years ago !!
Now I will say, I did contact 2 other contractors. one clearly is all about the sale, the rep had a slick brochure and everything was a yes with no supporting detail , but clearly he had never held a shovel in his own hand. The other called back after a week.
Experience and owner presence counts. A+ job Andrew.

If you are considering removing your pool, I highly recommend Pools Removed services. Andrew is the real deal, and he knows his stuff. His contract was spot on, and his pricing was well within the range that I expected. He started my job on a Monday August 6, 2018, and with good weather, he completed the job by Thursday afternoon of the same week. I was amazed at his coordination of tasks involved in my project.
The degree of satisfaction is a function of the weather. As you all recall we had the wettest 2018 on record in our area and Andrew’s grass seed germinated in about 3 weeks. There is still more things to do to bring my back yard up to my standards, but I am completely satisfied with my partial pool deconstruction.

If you are looking for a highly dependable company to complete your pool removal, you have found it with Pools Removed. Andrew not only takes pride in his work, but he expects perfection from his personnel. He also works onsite to make sure every step has been personally inspected by him. Most importantly and impressive was Andrew’s initial cost assessment was extremely close to his final invoice. Due to his experience in the business, he was able to give me a solid proposal and there were no hidden surprises or costs due at the end of the job unlike many other contractors.
Personally, I feel that Andrew is a perfectionist, and as a result of that I have a beautiful yard which I will enjoy for many years to come that requires nothing more than normal maintenance. I would definitely recommend Andrew and would be willing to answer any questions any potential customer might have. - Judy H. Ellicott City, MD Nov 2017
