"Lew, I want to let you know how much we are enjoying our new pool and we never imagined it would change the entire complexity of our home and back yard. Please express our appreciate to your crews, especially Mike and Chris, for a beautiful, well designed and constructed pool."
Mike Simon, CIC

"I first met Lew about five years ago and it wasn't very soon that he was doing my pool. I was just toying with the idea, but after meeting Lew and hearing the excitement that he was showing that literally I couldn't do anything but build a pool. I don't know that I've seen anything add so much value or so much or so much fun to our backyard. You can use it and it doesn't matter how hot it is, you can always go in your backyard. Then when it gets cold we just enjoy looking at the pool and we never cover it up, so it's been a great asset. The other thing I really enjoy, being in the custom homebuilding business, is being able to send a client over to talk to Lew. It's been a great relationship and I look forward to many more pools."

"I'm happy with my pool and haven't had any problems with it. We would recommend Ocean Quest - as a matter of fact I think we have. We're satisfied customers."

"I was impressed with the professionalism involved in the layout of the pool. They placed my pool perfectly on my lot and I was real impressed with that. I was also impressed with the workmanship of the pool. You'll notice little things that are finished with an Ocean Quest pool that might not be finished in another pool. I've had my pool now for 2 years and I'm very pleased with everything. Any time I call them they are here within a week to help me and they have followed up on their warranty work to the letter perfectly. We were swimming in our pool within 90 days of the time we broke ground. I didn't believe that could happen!"

James Altic

"The pool was wonderful and functional. We often come home, sit outside, have a couple of drinks, listen to the waterfall and take in the view. We love it and we've very, very pleased with it. It was exactly what we had envisioned when we first talked to them and tried to put this thing together.
They were the most professional group of people who clearly know a lot about pools and we very quickly got a sense of their expertise. It was a great experience from beginning to end."

The Zucaro Family

"This note of thanks is long overdue. I want to personally take the time to thank each and every person that was instrumental in physically building my pool. Ronnie, I can not thank you enough for your professionalism, your personal touch and your uncanny ability to walk through my front door and visualize how magnificent my pool would be in the end and how much I would love it. Thank you for your vision and for making me see it through to the end.
I want to thank Greg from the excavation crew and his patience and extra care of my backyard and grass from digging the hole, moving the grass to cleaning up in the end. Thank you! I want to thank Roger, Christino Pete Mason's and all their crew. The pool is gorgeous and the waterfall is dynamic.
Thank you to the Gunite guys and Bryan for his personal touch on my steps. Thanks to the Centex crew as well. Billy Rae, thank you for your personal touch and genuine care and concern as well as your professional ethics.
Saving the best for last, God Bless you Chris Perry. You are a diamond. Thank you for making Ronnie Potts' vision a reality for my family. Only you know how much I appreciate everything you have done. Chris made all things possible. No man is better than his ability to lead his crew, and Chris you are the picture of this. In turn you have an awesome group of guys that make up each team. You all are a well oiled piece of machinery.
Chris and Lisa, thank you. You two are the final touch that makes buying a pool from Lew Akins like a marriage. I feel I can call on any of you for anything at any time. This pool company keeps on giving long after the water is in the pool. You all are everything you advertise but far more than you admit. I am proud to be an Ocean Quest Pool owner."

"I wanted to take the opportunity to thank the members of your team for their continued attention and support following the construction of our pool this year. This construction process itself did not always go as smoothly as I'm sure we all would have liked, and I don't think we ever anticipated the extent of the destruction to our existing yard, but since the completion of the pool I can only say that your staff have been wonderful and patient in giving their attention and assistance to every unfinished detail or problem that has arisen.
I would particularly like to thank Steven for his kindness and courtesy, and speedy resolution of all problems despite the many demands on his time; and also Dave Baker for his patience, and helping us out after- hours on one occasion, and Kristie and Jeanette in the office who have assisted on many occasions.
Very often in the construction business, companies are just not interested once they have received payment for the job, but this has certainly not been the situation with Ocean Quest. Our beautiful pool speaks for itself in recommending your company, and we would not hesitate to add our personal testimonies to the quality of your work and the continued support of your staff."
The Burgess Family
Belton, Texas
"We really had no idea that the finished product could be as breathtaking as it is. You certainly had the vision that we lacked. Our new poolscape is not only beautiful, but functional. All of your personnel were tidy and courteous during the job and kept us informed the entire way of the schedule. I really can't express our pleasure with the job you did for us."
Tom Kirvan

"The pool turned out just as Ronnie said it would. Our superintendent (Slade maintained constant communication during the process. Everything was discussed in detail. The pool turned out nicer than we ever expected. We enjoy it all the time. We constantly mention to our friends the Ocean Quest Pools by Lew Akins gave us the most for our money."
