Liesa Fullerton

We had such a fantastic experience with Leisure Pools of Toronto! From start to finish, the entire team was so friendly, professional, and efficient. The project was managed incredibly well — everything came together seamlessly and much faster than we expected. Our pool looks amazing, and we honestly couldn’t be happier with the result. Highly recommend them to anyone considering a pool — they truly made the process easy and enjoyable!

Leisure Pools and Alex and his family were wonderful and professional. They really did an amazing & incredible job, they delivered above and beyond what we expected. My family is extremely overjoyed with the final product and everything exceeded our expectations. All the staff and workers really work with you and offer so much advice, I would hire them anytime do renovate and install a pool & backyard. Great Job Alex, My only regret is I won’t get to see them anymore as it was a pleasure being with them everyday. I am attaching some fantastic pictures of the final result, I hope anyone booking with them get the same joy as my family!

A great big thank you to the three brothers /owners ;Alex, Art and Martin as well as all the exceptional staff who skillfully transformed our outdoor living space into a luxury- like resort ,just steps out our own back door. We would highly recommend them for your Pool, Patio and outdoor living space needs. We are overjoyed with the results!!! Danny and Cheryl Shearer/Ashburn Ontario

Ion Adrian Dogaru

We picked Leisure Pools of Toronto out of 6 other companies, after very extensive research due to our requirements and the sheer size of the project – pool, interlock (~2000 sq/ft), landscaping including gardens, new sod over a huge area and more. The top two requirements we had were starting time and the company’s ability to deal with ALL requirements from city permits, to the electrician, to the pool specialist. All were met successfully. We have dealt with all three owners – Art, Alex and Martino – as well as with three different crews and various office assistants; everyone was a pleasure to deal with and we were very happy with the level of customer service we’ve received as well as with the attention to detail that the company provided. Our backyard is truly a “dream-come-true“ and for that… we are grateful to Leisure Pools. Highly recommended!

Before you hire a pool builder in Ontario

Pool building itself is not a licensed trade, but the electrical work is, and the enclosure permit is mandatory.

Municipal pool enclosure permit

Required in essentially every Ontario municipality, usually before excavation begins. Bylaws specify fence height, gate self-closing and self-latching hardware, and how soon the enclosure must be in place. Enforcement is real and the liability if a child accesses an unfenced pool is severe.

Verify with: Your municipality's building or bylaw department.

ESA notification for pool electrical and bonding

Pool electrical must be installed by a licensed electrical contractor, and the metal structure must be bonded. This requires an ESA notification and inspection.

Verify with: The Electrical Safety Authority, esasafe.com.

Utility locates before excavation

Legally required. Gas and hydro service lines cross yards at unpredictable depths.

Verify with: Ontario One Call.

General liability insurance and WSIB clearance

Excavation near a house foundation carries real risk. Confirm coverage amounts.

  • Which licensed electrical contractor are you using, and will I receive the ESA Certificate of Acceptance?
