April 2010
In the Spring of 2009, we installed a fiberglass pool designed and built by Signature Pools. We moved from Los Angeles to Chicago several years ago. Our home in Los Angeles had a beautiful pool which served as a family gathering destination. Our children literally grew up in that pool and we missed having it terribly. After we moved to Chicago we tried in vain to recreate that family experience – at one point we installed a spa, but it was never the same. And now that our older children have grown, we have adopted two young children. Our younger children spent the entire summer in our new pool last year! We know in our hearts that we have finally recaptured that special focal point for our family.
Before we installed our pool, we researched several companies and types of pools. We selected a fiberglass shell because of its durability, beauty and ability to withstand the elements. During the proposal process, Todd Emmerson – Signature’ Sales Manager – was by far the most helpful to us as we considered various designs, styles and sizes. The Company and its staff were incredibly professional and helpful throughout the entire process – from design through permitting, construction and set up. The project was done on time and within budget. And Signature was great at communicating with us all through the entire process.
The actual construction went very smooth and much quicker than I had anticipated. One thing that caught me by surprise was the toll the installation took on our yard. I knew the yard would get torn up, but until you experience it firsthand you are not prepared. Regardless, Signatures’ crew was extremely careful, and the safety of my family was paramount to them. They also did an outstanding job cleaning up at the end of each day and made sure to put things back to its original state as much as possible upon completion.
Once the pool was installed, Jim Gavula spent a great deal of time teaching us how the equipment worked and how to care for our new pool. We called Jim several times with a lot of questions and he was always patient and very helpful.
Signature Pools and its staff were phenomenal! We love our new pool and expect to get many years of enjoyment from it with our children – and hopefully our grandchildren at some point in the future.
Very Truly Yours,

Spring of 2010
After spending an afternoon with Todd Emmerson (Sales & Design Manager) and going over all the many questions and options it was a very easy choice to move forward with Signature Pools. That was 4 years ago.
When I initially started to look at company options I was not going to be fooled by fancy marketing or a big name company. I was diligent in my approach and decision making. Not only did we want a specific plan/layout for our backyard but also specific color and design of acid washed concrete. I also wanted a company that cared about customer service and I have received that in spades from Tom McNelis (owner), Todd Emmerson, and the rest of the staff at Signature Pools.
Our swimming pool has been so low maintenance and has turned out to be something both fun and valuable for our whole family. Truthfully, Signature Pools has gone out of their way and continues to this day to make sure that we have a positive experience.
If you would like more information about my experiences please feel free to contact me at the numbers listed below.

Fall of 2009
This past June one of the best things happened. I put in a fiberglass pool by Signature Pools. I have wanted a pool for a very long time and had done a lot of research on the type of pool I wanted. Once I decided it was going to be a fiberglass pool then it was a matter of finding the very best company to build it. After talking with several companies Signature Pools won my vote due to their knowledge, experience, confidence in their pools, and their consideration for my concerns. Todd Emmerson (Sales Manager) was awesome during the purchasing and planning phase. He listened very closely to my ideas and what we were looking for in the pool as part of the landscape plan and put it together and made it happen. The 3D computer program they used was unbelievable – it showed me exactly what my new pool would look like with our existing house and landscaping. Todd also did not just sell the pool and disappear. He was still available when needed to answer my questions.
Once the pool arrived and the crew started it was unbelievable how quickly things happened. Tom McNelis (President) and the whole crew are the greatest guys. Our yard is very important to us and tearing it up was very stressful but the guys are so good at what they do installing these pools that the mess was minimal. The guys really went the extra mile to help fix the mess that was made due to the three inches of rain we had three days prior to the start of construction. The process was so quick that within four hours the pool was filling with water and within twenty four hours the concrete decking around the pool was finished and most everything was ready to go. Within a few days Jim Gavula (Permit and Job Coordinator) had the pool crystal clear and swim ready. I could not have been more pleased with everyone on the Signature Pools team!
With the salt water system my pool has basically no maintenance. I love telling people who say pools are so much work – Not Mine! Just some vacuuming and water testing is all the work the pool has caused – little to none. Even if we cannot get in the pool just sitting by it is such a great experience. Our yard is back to normal and we now have the luxury of a pool in our own private yard. I don’t for one second regret any part of putting in a fiberglass saltwater pool and have told many people it’s the only way to go and that Signature Pools is the best at what they do!
Thanks So Much Guys!
Sincerely,

To Whom it May Concern,
Signature Pools did a wonderful job! From the initial consultation with Todd to the end result, and what a result it was! I look out at the pool area and smile every time – it’s absolutely spectacular!
Each member of the team at Signature Pools had a job to do and each did it very well. We were very impressed after they dug the hole that Tom managed to maneuver the pool straight into the hole even with our unique lot.
The after installation service has been excellent. We have contacted Jim several times with various questions and he has always been keen to help.
We have been extremely happy with Signature Pools and would definitely recommend working with them. Just take a look at our pool!
Thanks again Boys,

To Signature Pools:
1. Why we chose to build a fiberglass pool:
~After a year of research we decided to build a fiberglass pool due to the quality of the product. We love how fast the pool was put in and it is really nice to not have to worry about getting “scratched” in the pool as you do with a gunite/concrete pool. We also love having our private oasis in the backyard and not having to go to various waterparks with hundreds of other people.
2. Our experience during the sales process:
~ Our experience with Todd was amazing. He is very knowledgeable and low pressure. Todd gave us all of the information that we needed to make our decision. He was very patient and when we signed the final contract we felt as if we made the right decision with no 2nd guessing.
3. Our experience during the installation process:
~ The installation was very fast and Tom, Jim & the rest of the Signature crew were very professional throughout the construction process.
4. Our experience owning a fiberglass pool from Signature Pools:
~We love our new pool and spa and everyone that we have had over are really impressed by how quick the pool went in and how beautiful our new pool and spa look. We are very happy with this purchase and look forward to many years of enjoying our pool!

Dear Sirs,
Giles and I would like to thank all at Signature Pools for the excellent job you all did in installing our pool this summer. The decision to go ahead and build a pool was a little daunting but meeting Todd Emmerson (Sales Manager) and Jim Gavula (permit/job coordinator) and viewing the design work for our property allayed all our worries. It also confirmed the decision of ours to choose a fiberglass pool was the right one. The surface of the fiberglass is smooth to the touch and will not crack, and the colour is vibrant and will not fade! The installation process was fascinating and we were amazed to see the pool in place after only one day! The final look of the whole project is beautiful and Signature Pools delivered on their promise of providing our pool with the ‘Wow Factor’! All of our friends and family have enjoyed the summer with us in our ‘vacation at home’ style backyard and we wholeheartedly recommend Signature Pools to anyone who needs a pool company to provide them with a full service design and installation of a pool or spa.
Sincerely,
Joanne Douglas

Tom, Todd, and Jim –
I wanted to take a minute to say thank you for a job well done.
From the moment I made the first phone call inquiring about installing a pool until job completion, I felt confident in Signature Pool’s ability to accomplish our vision of a backyard getaway. Todd took the time to answer all of our questions, was very informative, and offered some very detailed design plans. Jim was very efficient in getting all of our plans in and permits approved by the village along with making sure everything on our pool was working properly. Tom was very professional during the installation process and the pool was completed sooner than estimated.
I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anybody seriously considering installing a pool. The durability and very low maintenance of the fiberglass pool in combination with the great work done by your company of planning and installing the pool has left our family feeling secure we made the right decision. We can hardly bring ourselves to close it down in anticipation of one more warm day.
Thanks Again!
