In March 2010, Long Island, NY was hit with some record breaking winds and rain. I was thinking my phone was going to be ringing from customers who had damage to their fences. I received one call only, it was a client of mine from Glendale. He was excited to let me know that there was absolutely no damage to the fence I installed and that it held up. He loved it!!! I explained to him that no

I installed a safety fence in Wading River, NY. The customer was hesitant, but did have the safety fence installed. Weeks later the family had a birthday party for their twin boys. One of the guests children went missing, and they were all in a panic. About 15 minutes went by and the homeowner spotted the child on the top step of the neighbors pool behind their house. The child had crawled under

Often the call we receive for pool safety fence or pool safety nets is from a parent that wants the product. Last week we received a call from a parent that did not want the product. “I simply do not want it in the back yard be it a pool fence or a pool net, we spent thousands of dollars to make this backyard look great and I do not want anything to interfere." The husband to the contrary was

The Gonzalez family had lost a family member in Florida three years ago, a niece that fell into the pool when she was not being properly supervised. They just purchased a house in Encantada and the home has a pool. Their first decision was to buy a pool safety fence and “Pool Guard of Puerto Rico has the reputation of quality products and quality customer service and came highly recommended by

After making a call to his pool guy, Mr. Sanchez got the number for Pool Guard of Puerto Rico. “They came and provided me with an estimate for pool fence the same day, service that I have not seen in a long time ”. “The pool safety fence was what was best for us provided we have several kids under the age of 3 years old”. We would recommend Pool Guard of Puerto Rico for anyone in need of pool

After an extensive search for pool safety covers, we contacted Pool Guard. Our comfort level was very strong with Dave of Pool Guard Miami as he offered all three forms of safety devices for the pool. A removable pool safety cover was our solution. It was nice working with a company that offered all three products (pool safety nets, pool safety fences, and pool safety covers) so that we did not

We just wanted to send a quick note to say that we decided to go with the Pool Safety Fence and we love it. Dave McDowell of Pool Guard Miami spoke with us about the advantages of Pool Safety Fence, Pool Safety nets, and Pool Safety Covers.

2009 was a rough year in the real estate market and the amount of repossessions in the Miami market was very high. Given the geographic location of this tropical paradise most of those homes have pools, a sign of the recent economic boom. What does a bank do when they have repossessed houses with pools that are unprotected? They call Pool Guard of Miami. Dave McDowell of Pool Guard of Miami has

There are a variety of safety pool fences and devices that can keep your swimming pool a safe place to be around. One of the many items to consider is how your pool gates function. Some people choose to have only one gate and this is fine for a smaller residential sized pool.If we are discussing a community or commercial pool, then having multiple access points is of more concern. At home, in

One day I was talking to a customer about a fence, and we went outside to measure it. Myself, the mother, and her 3 year old daughter were outside by the pool. As we were looking at the brochure (maybe a minute or so ) we heard a splash. Her daughter had walked away from her side around the pool and fell in. I rushed around the pool to reach down and grab her daughter's arm as she was slowly

Often we get calls about nets that people want for their pools. But seldom do people realize that a KOI pond needs a pool safety net for protection, stated Marisela with Pool Guard of Puerto Rico. Juan Zayas of Palmas Del Mar, Humacao Puerto Rico called Pool Guard of Puerto Rico to have the pool safety net installed on his KOI pond. "I realized that it would be a problem when I saw my 4 year

Pool Guard of Puerto Rico is happy to announce that it has now become a distributor for Safety Turtle. “This is a great 2nd line of defense for parents when the Pool safety Fence is removed and the kids are still around (at most parties here on the island). The child wears a small bracelet that alerts the parents if the child falls in the water. We do not recommend it as a first line of defense

We decided to purchase a pool safety fence from Pool Guard. The deciding factor was the Pool Gate that they offered. The self closing, self latching gate is great, but we really like the fact that we can lock the gate and keep the older kids out of the pool (sometimes they do not listen to grandma!). We recommend Pool Guard to anyone that needs a pool safety fence.

My wife and I just got jobs in Texas (time to move…again). We needed to have a pool fence in the house we are selling in order to get the mortgage to be approved. We contacted Pool Guard of Miami for our pool safety fence and were so impressed with their product and presentation…we actually used the Pool Guard dealer in Texas as well when we moved! We are now Pool Guard clients forever. We know

“Amazing. I cannot believe the difference in the different products on the market when compared side by side, and I certainly cannot believe the level of professionalism that Dave McDowell of Pool Guard had when making his presentation.

Richard Zell inherited the pool when he purchased the repossessed home. No fence, no pump, nothing. Mr.Zell was not pleased with a concrete "skate park" in his back yard as his son referred to it. He knew, without water, it was just as dangerous if not more dangerous than not having water in the pool. He was not in compliance with Florida pool safety law and it was a hazard. Mr. Zell contacted

Thank you Pool Guard for providing me a great product that allows me to relax outdoors with my children now. Our removable pool safety fence has been such a blessing.

A second home still requires a primary residence attention in regards to pool safety. While many home owners with pools do not think about the liability of having a pool, many should. A pool safety fence or a pool safety net is not an option for a primary home, so why would it be for a secondary home. If you have a pool in Miami, recommend contacting Dave McDowell at Pool Guard. He will be able
