Once I let them know I was still losing water, the team came back out and found the remaining leak and fixed it the same day.  I haven't lost a drop of water since (except to evaporation)!  Great customer service!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We couldn’t be happier with our experience with Master Touch Outdoor Services! From the first meeting through the final walkthrough, the entire team was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with. Nilson and the crew handled everything—from permits to construction—with outstanding communication every step of the way. They completed our pool and backyard transformation in under two months from the start of excavation, and the quality of the workmanship exceeded our expectations. If you’re looking for a company that does what they say they’re going to do, stays on schedule, and delivers an amazing finished product, I highly recommend Master Touch Outdoor Services. Our backyard turned out even better than we imagined, and we’re so glad we chose them!
