Cody built us an elegant rectangular travertine pool in the European tradition. He designed a Baja ledge with an umbrella cocktail table for us to relax in the shade. The travertine extends completely out to our outdoor room and pergola. Blue lit at night, the pool is beautiful. During the day, the ledge shows a grey color while the deeper pool is blue. We highly recommend WaterView Pools and Cody's forty years of pool building expertise.

This was our first pool. Water View pools and its owner Cody McFayden responded quickly to our needs. They were the only pool company of four chosen that came to us with a reasonable offer within a short time. Cody, whose name is still on the more widely known 'Cody Pools' came to having built more 2,000 pools in the area and reached out to us with a complete design in a very short period of time.

He is honest and capable. What we liked most about Cody was that he used top quality materials and never tried to cut back on important things like steel bracing and spacing. He was an expert on gunite, plaster color, coping and tile. We like to think that we picked top quality finish material like tile and deck plates but we always deferred to Cody's opinion on choices.

He also uses the best equipment available, Pentair, which when properly installed does a very fine job. Cody relied heavily on people he knew and trusted to the job and in nearly all cases this turned out to be a big advantage (especially for pouring gunite and plaster). His stone mason, Antonio is an impeccable artist of the first degree and deserves our highest praise.

He was meticulous to 'n' degree. The only reason for not giving five stars (and we have discussed this with Cody) is that Cody's operation will benefit from full-time, project management that is fully capable and knowledgeable in resolving issues immediately and efficiently. Cody has hired a person who is now in training to do this.

We had a great experience with Cody with water view pools. I appreciated Cody's experience in the industry. I was able to show him pictures of pools I liked online and he made it happen with ease. He has great knowledge about the materials and options. We were able to have a salt water pool built with water view whereas other builders were reluctant to do salt water. Cody is extremely easy to reach, he responds to text messages within seconds usually. He is also very punctual and flexible when meeting to discuss the pool in person. His team is trustworthy and professional.

Cody McFadyen and WaterView Pools saved us from our nightmare that was our original pool builder who had taken all our money and left us with a shell of a pool and a list of other issues. WaterView completed our dream pool consisting of a lap lane, jumping rocks, a slide and a spa. They communicated well, answered all our questions promptly, and did what they committed to do. WaterView's subcontractors are all professional, communicate well, and show up when they say they will. Our biggest regret is that we didn't hire WaterView from the beginning.

Having a pool of our own has been a life long dream and I want to thank you so much for making it happen. Our kids absolutely love being outside now and there is no doubt that they are not only getting more exercise but they are more extroverted and happy. A great investment for our family. Thanks to you and your team. We will definitely recommend you to our friends.

I have experienced one of Cody's pools and can say they rock: especially the salt water pool. No chlorine burning of the eyes or after-smell when getting out of the pool. An excellent experience!

Hire these folks at your own risk - Cody is not a man of his word. I am the neighbor of a recent residential pool build. Cody looked me in the eye, shook my hand and promised me that my property would be in equal or better condition when his project was finished. This is totally untrue. In order to build my neighbor's pool, the builders has to drive their tractor through my back yard (to which I agreed based on empty promises).

They removed my fence (and piled it up in MY yard.killing my grass), they drove the tractor through my yard for a week (destroying my grass, digging trenches, breaking sprinkler heads and spot lights, etc) and then proceeded to leave my yard like this for MONTHS after the tractor work was completed. By my request, Cody came out a second time and told me that he would fix everything.

This was months ago, and my fence is back in place (but in shambles), my neighbor had to fix my sprinklers and grass and Cody is now suggesting that my neighbor owns all repairs. Cody's crews were polite, hard working and skilled. My neighbor's pool looks great. But be advised that my neighbor is very unhappy with the mess Cody made of both our yards, landscapes, etc and appears content to leave everything WORSE than he found it.

I will spare any reader more details around the oil stains on the street in front of my house, or the mud I had to continually clean up as their workers left our properties, etc, etc. Good luck!

I cannot recommend Cody strongly enough. We interviewed 3 pool builders, all would have done a good job, but I felt there were things they really did not "want to do". I felt it was not in their business plan to review options we felt were important to us. They were open to it, but tried to talk us out of it for one reason or another. I suspect it was to keep "their" costs down.

We were looking for a pool builder that would listen to us. We were looking for a geometric shape pool that matched our home. We prefer a classic pool and deck design versus the "bean shape" with flagstone decking and coping. Most builders wanted to put is in "their" pool mold. Seemed to be a reason for that, bean shape pools are a bit cheaper to make (less perimeter and less structure needed), and do not need to be built to as exacting dimensions.

Hard to hide errors with geometric shaped pools. Of all the builders, Cody listened to us and designed a pool WE love. He did make suggestions, but not because that is what would save "him" money. he designed a pool and made suggestions that complemented our vision. Cody has been at this a while, and I know why. he listens and designs what his customers desire most.

But a good design is only part of it. His contractors are top notch, true craftsmen and make it all happen. I was also impressed with extras added in the structure of the pool (more steel). Cody could save a few bucks as the bigger builders do, but why? I appreciate that, and in the end I think our pool is built with more integrity and quality then would have otherwise have been. Continuing with quality, the equipment selected was top notch, even down to the pool kit. Again, most large builders save a few bucks per pool, and when you build so many pools maybe it ads up.

But how does that help your pool? Cody would not want cheap stuff in his pool and he builds yours with that in mind. I firmly believe what motivates Cody most, is how his work provides a lifetime of memories for the kids (young and old). Talk to Cody. you deserve to get the pool YOU want!

I think building a pool can be a very stressful experience and I'm delighted with how smooth things went on building ours. The design tips Cody suggested went a very long way to making our pool the place everyone wants to hang out.

This is our second pool and the first one we had built ourselves. Our first pool came with the house and required a huge amount of maintenance. We decided to go for the increased circulation package and I cannot begin to tell you how much easier it is to maintain our new pool!

Cody and his crew did a great job on our new pool. Cody is very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of great ideas that made a big difference in how our pool turned out. His crews were on time and worked very hard. They were all very nice as well and listened to changes we wanted made and got them done with a smile. Will definitely recommend them to friends and family.

We contacted Cody to build a pool for us in the fall of 2014, and by Christmas our project was finished. Overall, we are very satisfied with the finished project. The build quality seems excellent, and the design of the pool and deck is just as we had pictured.

We have lived in our home for 18 years and always wanted a pool but had been told it would be tough to put one in our back yard. Finally we decided if we can't build a pool we would move but we also called Waterview and asked them to give us their ideas.

Waterview Pools completed our beautiful swimming pool in 9 weeks; that was from contract signing to filling the pool with water. The owner of the company, Cody, says the build time may be a record. Cody's design was excellent and it was followed perfectly during the build. We are very pleased with the pool, and also pleased with the crews that worked on it.

The exception is the crew that removed the forms as their cleanup was minimal. We recommend Waterview Pools.

There is really no other choice! If you want a spectacular pool then Cody and Waterview is the way to go. From the very first meeting with Cody he gets a feel of what you want and type of person you are and his design comes back accordingly!

I was reluctant to build a pool after hearing horror stories. Working with Cody and WaterView Pools there were no horror stories at all. He said 6 weeks to complete and it was 6 weeks. Everything he said he would do he did and then some.
