My Experience with Narellan Pools Macarthur To anyone considering building a swimming pool with Narellan Pools Macarthur, I strongly recommend doing your research and carefully considering your options before proceeding. Although I have never personally built a swimming pool, I have many years of experience in the building industry and a sound… Read more

understanding of construction methods, workmanship and building practices.

The excavation work commenced in pouring rain, apparently at the direction of Narellan Pools Macarthur. Apart from having to deal with mud being tracked onto my driveway and the road on a daily basis, what should have been a two-day process ended up taking a week to complete.

The next stage involved craning the fibreglass pool into the excavated hole. A 90-tonne crane was brought onto the site to lift the pool into position, despite the excavated hole having approximately four inches of mud covering the bottom of the prepared sub-base. I arrived home just in time to raise concerns about the ground conditions before the pool was lowered into the hole. I was extremely concerned that the pool was being installed on an unsuitable and poorly prepared base.

It took another week to clean the mud out of the excavated hole. Without going into every detail, I then had to witness what I considered to be extremely poor workmanship in the construction of the concrete structure encasing the fibreglass pool, particularly in relation to the steel reinforcement, formwork and concrete placement. In all my years of experience in the building industry, I have never seen such poor workmanship.

Despite these issues, I paid Narellan Pools Macarthur in full. The finished pool is not parallel to the house, and the waterline is not level. By that stage, I was simply relieved to have the project completed.

Unfortunately, the problems did not end there.

I had long suspected that the plumbing beneath the pool was leaking. When I eventually engaged a pool renovation company, the leak was confirmed.

I contacted the Narellan Pools Macarthur franchise in the hope that they would take an interest in investigating and resolving the problem. However, despite months of emails, the assistance I received was extremely disappointing. The response amounted to an email advising that a plumber would be sent to inspect the issue, but meaningful assistance never eventuated.

Eventually, I decided to arrange the necessary repairs myself. During the investigation, two leaks were discovered beneath the concrete. I had no option but to demolish the surrounding concrete to access and repair the problem. The repairs cost approximately $18,000.

I will never recover that money, and the experience has been both financially and personally disappointing.

I would, however, like to warn anyone considering building with Narellan Pools Macarthur to be fully aware of my experience before making their decision.

To be clear, my comments relate specifically to my experience with the Narellan Pools Macarthur franchise. I am not suggesting that other Narellan Pools franchises operate in the same way. However, I would also caution customers against assuming that the Narellan Pools head office will necessarily provide assistance when problems arise.

Building a swimming pool is a significant financial investment. Customers deserve quality workmanship, proper project management, accountability and reliable after-sales support.

Unfortunately, based on my experience, I cannot recommend Narellan Pools Macarthur and their Head Office Team

Good luck with your pool. It's not as simple as you might think.

We engaged Narellan Pools Hills District early on on our process. We found Craig our first point of contact very helpful. We then moved to the next stage where we met Mark and team. Again very helpful and explained the process very well. Step by step was laid out up front which is what I like to see. Then we came to the CDC process which was quite… Read more

easy. D (dig) day came and excitement was real, the hole was dug and three days later we had a pool on a truck out the front. We got to have photos with it before it was craned in. The install team were fantastic and were very open and explained everything. I must out line the install team I must say they were amazing to deal with and answered any question we had. Once filter was installed it was all explained with ease how to manage it all. Handover came and Mark explained it all and always offered for additional help even after handover just to call and he will come by and help. Thankfully since it was all explained so well that was not needed. Aftwr hand over we had pre arranged a riler and fence conpany to finish it all off. We have now completed the rest and have OC and are enjoying our Synphony 6 as much as we can. Highly recommend Narellan Pool.Hills District.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Exceptional Pool Building Experience. We had an outstanding experience throughout our pool build journey.

challenges that arose were proactively managed, and we were kept informed of progress and next steps at all times. The consistent communication gave us confidence and made the experience far less stressful.

A special thank you to Felipe and Sheffe, who were both exceptional to work with. They were professional, approachable, and always willing to assist whenever questions or issues arose. Their customer service skills, attention to detail, and commitment to ensuring a positive customer experience were truly outstanding. They went above and beyond to help navigate any challenges and ensured we felt supported throughout the entire build process.

We greatly appreciate the dedication and professionalism shown by the team and would highly recommend this pool builder to anyone looking for a company that values communication, transparency, and customer satisfaction.

Thankyou Mark, Craig, Elana, Felipe, Sheffe and rest of Narellan team! 5 stars!

We just finished our pool build with Mark and the Narellan Pools Hills District team, and the experience was nothing short of incredible. From our very first meeting, Mark stood out because he was completely upfront and honest—there were no hidden surprises or "salesy" pressure, just genuine helpfulness and expert guidance on what would work best… Read more

for our space.

The construction phase can often be stressful, but Mark’s team made it a total breeze. A massive shout-out to our installers, Felipe and Shaffy. They are absolute legends! Not only is their workmanship top-tier, but they are also incredibly likeable and professional. It makes a huge difference when you actually enjoy having the crew in your backyard; they were a pleasure to have on-site and treated the project with such care.

We had a specific vision for our family's outdoor lifestyle, and this team worked tirelessly to make it a reality. If you are looking for a pool builder in the Hills District that combines high-quality installation, transparency, and a great crew, look no further than Mark and his team. We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to trust with this build!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience building our pool with Narellan Pools. From start to finish, the entire process was smooth, professional, and genuinely enjoyable.

expertise helped us design the most amazing pool, and his advice was consistently thoughtful and practical.

What really stood out was how far he went beyond expectations. Mark assisted us with our side fence and helped navigate a few unexpected issues, which made a huge difference. His landscaping background proved invaluable, bringing a level of insight that truly elevated the final result.

The team as a whole were efficient, friendly, and clearly took pride in their work. Every recommendation Mark made was spot on, and the end result speaks for itself.

We highly recommend Narellan Pools to anyone looking for quality, professionalism, and a team that genuinely cares about delivering the best outcome.

Very disappointing experience with Vincent's Team from Narellan Pools Gold Coast. Our pool construction has been affected by significant delays - 6 mobths and still not completed, inconsistent attendance, poor organisation and ongoing communication… Read more

issues. Several agreed works remain incomplete or disputed, and the overall process has been extremely frustrating. Our house and fences and the side of the neighbour house been left damaged. Based on our experience, we would not recommend.

 Follow-up  · Nothing has been done still. Do not use Narellan Pools Gold Coast (Vincent Gilense and Melissa Gilense), they are also trading under Vintec Construction Pty Ltd. Very deceitful and untrustworthy. They are charging us now $112,000 for a 5m Nirvana pool, with no major construction issues, which was originally quoted for $54,000.

I spoke with Kellie Steiner today from Narellan Pools re getting a pool put in . There were several issues with my property and she went to no end of trouble to check on these which saved me a lot of time, money and stress. And although she could’ve said yes we can sort that she went the extra mile and explained to me it wasn’t going to work in… Read more

my back yard because of all the obstacles . It was going to make it a very expensive job at the least and still not viable . I couldn’t be more grateful with her honesty and the trouble she went to to check . She was absolutely a treasure to deal with . I wasn’t able to use their services but that didn’t stop her from showing me consideration and a very honest approach. Thankyou so very much Kellie as I had got quite stressed about going forward and you checked on all my queries right there and then. You are a rare gem . I know the public can be very difficult at times but you are at the top of your field. Many thanks Kerrie

As I have noticed other reviews have said, I got a salesman out and after the quote, I wanted to proceed. The site building inspector then came out and I said I still wanted to go ahead.

repeated texts, emails and calls, nothing.

I have no problem if they decided not to do it, but why not just let me know? I even said that in my emails.
