What Our Customers Are Saying

“Very pleased with the quality of the pool designed and build by Sahara. We started this process in the middle of the covid shut down but Chris still came out to meet us in person and responded quickly. We have a small yard and they were able to design something that’s perfect for us. We are very happy with all the features and we are glad we went with the automated feature upgrades. It really takes the guess work out of pool ownership. We only regret waiting this long to get a pool!”

“Sahara Construction Pools team did an outstanding job on my pool and outdoor kitchen that I couldn’t be more happy with. I loved the amazing results! From design to construction everything was a smooth process. The Sahara team was very friendly and professional to work with. Chris did a fabulous job managing the project. I highly recommend Sahara Construction Pools for any pool projects.”

“Sahara completed construction of our pool recently and we are very pleased. The pool turned out beautiful! The builders were very professional, experienced, and easy to communicate with. Even with additions to original plans, they still came in under budget. Many things could have gone horribly wrong as they dug it prior to the two hurricanes we had this summer but they seemed to have a plan for each possible pit falls. Very impressed.”
