What Our Clients Say

The team at GBI are first rate. We’ve used their services for years and we’re always happy to recommend them. We found our pool without power at noon on a Friday and Garrett and Jordan came to the rescue to diagnose and have a new pump to our yard within hours. Of course it turned out not to be that but the last thing expected on the list. Enter Eric, first agreeing to come out early Saturday to get us up and running, and then ultimately coming Friday night after what I’m sure was a long day and long week. The kindness of the team to work to rescue the next day’s birthday pool party is truly above and beyond. We know we can trust their work and professionalism any day, but this was extra special. Just the type of guys you want to do business with always.

– Emma Todd

We hired GBI to help us understand our pool. They sent Steve, a technician who not only has all the knowledge to help, he was very kind and patient throughout the entire visit. Cannot recommend the company enough, they are lucky to have Steve and if you own a pool in the Ottawa area, you should use GBI.

– Bren Last

GBI Pools has been amazing to work with! They handle both the opening and closing of our pool each season, and they do it with such professionalism and care. The team is always on time, efficient, and very knowledgeable. They make the whole process completely stress-free, and our pool is always in great shape thanks to their work. Highly recommend GBI Pools for anyone looking for reliable and quality pool service!
