Summerhill Pools • Outdoor Living has worked on Dallas pools since Mark McCaffrey founded it in September 1989, and it is still family run by his daughter Michelle Reed and her husband David from an office at 10720 Miller Road in Lake Highlands. Most people know it as a custom builder, but it also runs a Signature Weekly Pool Service and a repair team for equipment, tile, leaks and lighting. Its credentials page lists a Texas Independent Contractors License #681, CPO and Certified Service Professional certifications, BBB accreditation with an A+ rating and Jandy Pro-Edge Builder status. Summerhill holds a 4.7 rating from 125 Google reviews, with praise for named weekly technicians and one recent complaint about a replaster job.

Editorial Review

Our Take on Summerhill Pools • Outdoor Living

Summerhill brings 37 years in Dallas and a long credentials list to its weekly service and repair work as well as new builds. Reviews for its weekly technicians are warm, though one recent replaster complaint is worth asking about. It fits owners who want a builder's depth behind routine care.

  • Shannon Jones5.0

    I don’t think I’ve ever come on the Internet to leave a positive review for a company, but I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to sing my praises for Summerhill pools. We found Summerhill when we saw a backyard that we really loved and wanted them to design the backyard for our new house, and it was one of the best decisions we made. The whole team was so professional, kind, organized, responsive, impressive, and above that our backyard turned out incredible and exactly the way we expected. Of course, as in any project, there were a few hiccups along the way with different moving parts, and Summerhill handled it all with professionalism and always made sure to keep us in the loop and things moving forward as efficiently as possible. They are by far the best contractor we have ever worked with and could not recommend them enough!

    The team at Summerhill is fantastic! Their team has been caring for our pool for years and are always responsive when we need anything. Highly recommended!

  • Lisa Hall5.0

    Summerhill Pools renovated our pool and has been providing weekly maintenance for us since the renovation. Their customer service and maintenance team is always quick to respond and very helpful whenever we need something or have questions. I highly recommend working with them!

    Summerhill has done major repair and equipment replacement several times. Their construction and remodeling reps are top- notch. Visits are on- time. Estimates are thorough and accurate. Once the work is authorized the job moves along promptly and communication with the job superintendent is easy and done on a promise made promise kept basis. The finished product is beautiful and low stress to own and swim in.<br>We have continued with Summerhill for weekly maintenance service after years of doing it myself. The truth is the pool has never looked better. The service tech arrives after a text notification and takes care of what is needed: skimming, vacuuming, water chemistry, filter service. I strongly recommend Summerhill for weekly maintenance and remodeling .

    1-Star Review<br><br>We chose Summerhill Pools for a complete pool replaster project, expecting professional project management, reliable communication, and proper follow-through. Unfortunately, our experience since the project began in early March 2026 has been extremely disappointing.<br><br>The plaster was completed on March 18, 2026, and Summerhill collected water samples on March 19 during the critical startup period. From that point forward, however, the project was plagued by ongoing communication issues, missed commitments, and a lack of accountability.<br><br>One of our biggest concerns was the repeated failure to perform scheduled startup and maintenance visits. We documented four missed pool service visits during the period when a newly plastered pool requires the most attention. Proper brushing, chemistry monitoring, and follow-up are critical to protecting a new surface, yet we frequently found ourselves wondering whether scheduled service would actually occur.<br><br>Another frustration was the amount of homeowner involvement required just to keep the project on track. Instead of receiving proactive updates and clear communication, we often had to initiate contact, seek status updates, monitor chemistry information, document concerns ourselves, and follow up repeatedly on unresolved issues. It often felt as though we were managing the project rather than the contractor.<br><br>We also raised concerns during follow-up inspections, including observations near the pool steps, and expected a higher level of quality assurance and oversight throughout the process.<br><br>The most significant unresolved issue remains our reimbursement request for the cost of refilling the pool. This expense was incurred directly because of the replaster project and was not an optional cost. Despite multiple follow-ups, we still have not received a clear answer, approval, denial, or final resolution. Months later, the request remains unanswered.<br><br>What disappoints us most is not any single issue but the overall pattern: poor communication, missed service visits, lack of proactive customer support, inadequate follow-through, and the continued failure to address a legitimate reimbursement request. When customers invest significant money in a major pool renovation, they should not have to chase updates, monitor performance, and repeatedly ask for answers.<br><br>While the plaster work itself was completed, the overall customer experience fell far below expectations. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Summerhill Pools due to the lack of communication, accountability, and customer service demonstrated throughout this project.

    We had a great experience with Summerhill Pools from start to finish. The entire process was smooth, communication was excellent, and everyone was friendly and available whenever we had questions. Their subcontractors also did great work and were professional throughout the project. We’re very satisfied with the final product, and the continued service after completion has been excellent as well. We would definitely recommend Summerhill Pools to anyone looking to build a pool in the Dallas area.

Company Background

About Summerhill Pools • Outdoor Living

Summerhill Pools • Outdoor Living has the longest Dallas history on this list. Mark McCaffrey started in the pool trade in 1978 and founded Summerhill in September 1989. His daughter Michelle Reed, a Lake Highlands High School graduate, joined in 1994, and her husband David Reed, whose father ran a pool excavation company, joined in 2005. Michelle's brother Matthew came on in 2019 and works on the operations team. The office is at 10720 Miller Road, Suite 218, in a business center in Lake Highlands.

The firm is best known for custom pools and backyards, but weekly care is a real part of the business. The Signature Weekly Pool Service covers skimming, emptying skimmer and pump baskets, cleaning the sweep bag and filter screen, checking equipment and the backwash filter, cleaning tile, brushing walls, steps and floor, vacuuming the pool and spa, and balancing chemicals. Chemicals, calcium removal and filter teardown are billed separately. After each visit the company emails a note and a photo, and it asks for approval before any repair. The repair team handles heaters, filters, tile and surface damage, leak detection and pool lights, and uses Jandy parts on new equipment. Financing is offered through Frost Bank and Lyon Financial.

The credentials page lists Texas Independent Contractors License #681, Pool and Hot Tub Alliance Certified Building Professional, Certified Service Professional and Certified Pool-Spa Operator certifications, a National Plasterers Council start-up technician certification, BBB accreditation with an A+ rating and Jandy Pro-Edge Builder status. Under that program, Jandy equipment it installs carries a three-year warranty instead of one year. Reviewers praise Jesse and Matt for reliable weekly visits. A one-star review from last month describes poor communication and missed commitments after a March 2026 replaster. Summerhill holds 4.7 from 125 Google reviews, read November 11, 2026.

It suits owners of larger or custom pools who want weekly care from the company that can also remodel them. It suits less well owners looking for the cheapest weekly rate, since chemicals are extra. Before booking, ask for the full weekly price with chemicals, get remodel timelines in writing, and check the licence number with TDLR.
