Can’t say enough about Fun Outdoor Living. Highly recommend! Our previously unusable backyard has now become our favorite spot to be thanks to Andre, Oscar and team. Andre worked with us through several iterations of plans looking to maximize the views while dealing with a number of challenges including steep inclines & minimal access. He provided a number of options and would offer up suggestions to make things that we wanted more economical or better alternatives to achieve the same end goal. Oscar, John and Oscar Jr. completed the work quickly and left the area tidy each night. Andre was accessible and flexible - meeting with us on the weekends and evenings. Hot tub arrives in July.
Overall FOL did a great job. The quality of the work and the finished product is amazing. The workers on-site delivered perfection. I would rate the work a 5 out of 5. Communication and coordination can definitely improve as I often did not know where things stood or when workers were showing up. I found this to be frustrating. At times, I seemed to be the person connecting the dots for the workers showing up. I would rate this a 3 out of 5. But the final result is exactly what I wanted. I do not have a single punch list item outstanding. Anything I was unhappy about got quickly resolved and exceeded my expectations. If you want a high quality product, delivered by quality workers AND can deal with some minor frustrations around communication and coordination...this is the place to call.
Unprofessional and bad customer service. It took more than week to be scheduled for an onsite evaluation. We had an appointment with Adam this past Thursday at 5pm. He called me on Thursday around 2pm to let me know that he may be late for our appointment. He said he would call me back in about 1.5 hours. He never called or showed up.Days later I still have no phone call or follow up from the company.
I decided to purchase my first hot tub last year. After going to other hot tub places, I decided to visit Fun Outdoor Living, based on their outstanding reviews. Ken Hormel was phenomenal from the very beginning. He was very professional and knowledgeable. He walked me through the different types of hot tubs and helped me select one that was best suited for my family.Ken came to my home and assisted with the initial setup and continues to be available to answer any additional questions that I may have. I love my hot tub. Thanks so much for everything Ken.
I highly recommend Fun Outdoor Living for your backyard project. From the initial consultation to the final walkthrough inspection, the team leader on each project provided fantastic communication with what was to come and when. Their attention to detail, and professional approach with a very personal touch made the whole experience pleasant and rewarding. I went with pavers, and a fireplace, as well as a Hot Springs Spa and could not be happier. Landscaping fixes and follow up customer service were an added bonus to justify this solid 5 star rating.
Ken Hormel at 8914 Pineville Matthews RD. Charlotte, NC 28226 location was professional, knowledgeable, and pleasant. Im enjoying the Hot Tub.
Absolutely fantastic work. Right from the design stage (we had a tough space to work with) we knew Fun Outdoor Living was the right company to go with (and we met with quite a few). Kept on schedule, communicated consistently and addressed all our questions throughout. The finished product is far beyond our expectations!
Ordered a Hot Springs Grandee back in Oct. John DiFiore explained that due to covid there would be manufacturing delays and it may take 6 months for delivery. True to his word our tub was ready and delivered in April. A few weeks after install there was a minor issue with one of the electrical connections, their in-house repair person came out quickly and got it fixed in a few minutes. When youre spending that much money on anything you want a top product and top service, and Fun Outdoor Living is able to produce both. Dont waste your time going anywhere else!
We had a patio, gazebo and hot tub designed and installed by these folks. Everyone we worked with was very professional and easy to work with. The company couldnt be more informative about time lines given all the delays due to covid. The gazebo was just what we were looking for and the hot tub has been great. All of their workers were considerate of our house and yard and cleaned up everyday and made sure nothing was left disturbed. Adam was our salesman on the project and he kept us informed every step of the way. If you are looking for backyard work, these are the ones you want to consider.
I came back to review after a little over a year since the Fun Outdoor Living team transformed my back patio. They installed an outdoor kitchen, pergola, pavers with a sitting wall, and a hot tub. The quality of work held up beautifully! I am so happy I picked the Fun Outdoor Living team for the job! Great customer service. I do business with them for all of my outdoor living needs.
I had an extremely positive experience with Ken Hormel and the group at the Pineville location. they walked me through my options, had some great ideas, and worked with me around timing obstacles. I have thoroughly been enjoying my fire pit and a swim spa! Even their follow up was great, as I needed some drains moved, and they came out and took care of it. I would highly recommend Ken and the group he works with there.
Ken is the man when it comes taking care of his clients. His knowledge and dedication to customer satisfaction if off the chart. This is coming from a guy that has been in sales for 40+ years. Would highly recommend Ken and Fun Outdoor Living to anyone wanting to purchase the best hot tub in the market place in a heart beat. Ken helped us last year and we came within inches of buying but held off till this year. He was not upset at all when we didnt buy last year and he took extra special care of us when we were ready to buy this year. 10 stars for Ken.
Andrey and his crew Juan Carlos team did an amazing job on our Patio/Land Scaping / Lighting. The price was very fair and the results were excellent. I highly recommend Andrey and his team for your outdoor projects.
So once we decided on what we would like, we talked to the folks at Fun Outdoor Living, Our designer was Adam Kruse, he did an outstanding job of making sure we would be happy with not only design but patio colors and landscaping. There was a bit of a wait but once they got started it was completed in no time at all. Adam made several trips to our home before, during and after, he did an excellent job answering my text and always in a timely manner. The inner ceiling of our pergola was contracted to another company and they were really wonderful to work with as well, they even hung our ceiling fans for us (including putting them together). Bottom line here is I would use FOL again, and I do recommend them, but be patient, dont be in a hurry. The finish product will be worth the wait.
HiWe purchased a Hot Spring Jetsetter hot tub from Ken at Fun Outdoor Living the end of 2019. Well are very happy and pleased with the delivery the support and the Jetsetter tub! Ken took the time to come to our home and explain how to use and care for it once it was delivered. Amazing guy and great knowledge and support. Its the perfect size for us and it massages relieves tension and it is easy to use. It is hassle free maintenance. We love it!!
Quality of contracted work was fantastic! Built exactly what I wanted with fireplace and patio. Was a bit slow but that’s because the demand for construction far exceeds the amount of workers currently.
While others companies had a long wait time for a hot tub we were able to secure one for our mountain house in a fraction of the time from Outdoor Living!
Ken was eager to share his knowledge of the saltwater system when we made our purchase. It is now one year later and we have had zero problems. Exceeded our expectations for simplicity, low cost of operation and enjoyment. Great service, great product.
I love this place. 4 years ago I went there looking for a hot tube. I found the one I wanted and made plans to have it delivered. During several conversations I decided to put pavers on my bottom deck. I also decided to put an overhead ceiling with lights and ceiling fans. Now I have the use of both areas, one as a sun deck and the bottom deck as shaded area. During this time Outdoor Living made all the arraignments on who was best to do the project and quardinated the whole process. They knew the best companies and put it all together. It worked out perfect.No only was the service great, the products have lasted all these years. It still looks as fantastic as when they first did it.Great service and great products is what you get with Fun Outdoor Living. I would never go anywhere else.Ken Bunney
Knowledgeable and Friendly folks from top to bottom. We love our Hot Springs spa!
We had an excellent experience with Fun Outdoor Living. We dealt directly with Andrey Fleyshman, and could not be happier with the service he provided in coordinating our patio project. Andrey brought excellent design ideas to the table, and helped us maximize the space in our backyard while including all of the options we wanted.Andrey is knowledgeable, professional, and is very trustworthy and straightforward - which is what you should expect from a company that handles large projects such as this (but unfortunately, folks like Andrey and the crew at Fun Outdoor Living have proven to be hard to find).Periodic visits and check-in calls were made to us to ensure we were happy and that things were running smoothly. Text messages and emails were returned promptly (and sometimes immediately, even though I sent them at 9:30 at night!). We recommended Andrey and team to our neighbors, and they are happy as well.Hats off to Andrey and the whole team at Fun Outdoor Living for a job well done!
We contracted with Fun Outdoor Living for a pergola in our backyard space. The people are fair, professional, and provide a high quality product. Were very pleased with the experience and highly recommend.
I requested quote for our backyard patio need through website. I got a call with in 10 min to schedule appointment where one of the associate was going to come and talk to us about our need. Associate called 1 day before appointment in evening and asked about our need and provided the quote directly on phone without looking at our property and our need in detail. Disappointed with the overall service and the way they handled customer. I understand our budget may be less but they should provide options and what works to customize based on our need. Will not recommend them if you have budget less than 12 to 15k.
Ken is very knowledgeable and easy to work with. Makes sure your spa is set up correctly--Makes it easy
Dale and his team from Fun Outdoor Living totally transformed my backyard paver patio into a beautiful space. I highly recommend Fun Outdoor Living if you have an existing patio in need of TLC. Our patio looks awesome thanks to Fun Outdoor Living.
We recently wanted to upgrade our backyard and had the pleasure of working with Fun Outdoor Living to complete our project. Wanting to put in a new patio and hot tub, we were assisted from the first moment we walked in the door. We had the pleasure of working with Adam Kruse on getting our patio designed and set up. In our first meeting Adam was able to help us visualize the space we had and what would fit perfectly in it. With his attention to detail we were able to get the perfect layout and set up for our backyard. We also had a great experience with Art Register to get our hot tub. My wife and I had a couple of different things we wanted, and Art listened to us and didnt try to upsell us. He stayed within our budget and got us the perfect hot tub. We have enjoyed patio and hot tub everyday since it has been put in. We cant wait to work with Fun Outdoor Living on our next project!
We are beyond happy with the excellent work that Fun Outdoor Living has done in our backyard! We wanted a spot for an outdoor kitchen area added with a bar and little space for outdoor dining as well as a screened in porch. When Andrey came by to discuss our project, he was extremely professional and thorough, but most importantly, honest. We had a timeline in mind that he and his team were able to meet (early actually) and he explained every part of the process with so much attention to detail. When comparing prices and deadline quotes with other companies, FOL also beat out competitors. We love the final results, the quality of the work and the customer service was beyond anything we could have hoped for considering the scope of this project, and all of its moving parts. From getting HOA approval, to quality control check-ins, to the ease of making payments, FOL just gets it. We couldnt be happier!!!
Ken Hormel is awesome! Knowledgeable about products and easy to get along with.
FOL Did a great job on our backyard project which included Patio, Outdoor Kitchen, Firepit, and Pergola and Screened Porch. Overall I would recommend them, and would use them again for any further additions. We initially met with 5 different companies and landed on FOL after my initial meet with Andrey Fleyshman. Some further details around the specific aspects of our projects.Biggest takeaway is quality work, open communication, and responsiveness to any questions, problems or concerns I had along the way. Details and specific thanks below.1) Pergola: Zane and his team did outstanding work on my pergola. Outside of what was done in terms of the pergola, Zane took the time to give me a few recommendations in terms of sealing it.(not in the original plan) and also helped setup cedar as a crossboard for stability cut into the Hardiboard so that I could safely mount an outdoor tv - Thanks Zane2) Patio, Firepit and ODK. Patio and Firepit team did a great job as well.The Outdoor Kitchen team was also fantastic. Matt who was leading the efforts saw a few opportunities to optimize the look based on the original design, and came up with some immediate solutions (making the ODK fully adjacent to the house so that it looked connected from the original build, vs being a floating ODK that just sat next to the house. Overall the time Matt spent talking through the options with me, and then taking it upon himself to make my original thoughts better was greatly appreciated - Thanks Matt3) Permits and paperwork. Davis (who was our primary PM) was on top of all of the paperwork and permits. This of course didnt come w/o hiccups, but FOL submitted detaled paperwork to my HoA on behalf of me, so even took that part out of my hands. There were logistical hiccups with the folks doing inspections (hiccups on Waxhas permit inspection side around when, and what they were to be inspecting), but once again, FOL handled everything with them directly and immediately. I never expect things to go flawlessly, but it was a great sign to see FOL, explain what was going on to me, and then just handle it - Thanks Davis4) The one main pain piont for me was during some of the work, there was more disturbance to the lawn than I expected and more than I found acceptable. So I voiced my observations and concern to Davis and Andrey, and within a day they had folks come back out and address them. The amt of rain that we received made this more challenging - Thanks Davis and Andrey
Awesome customer service and quick delivery. Delivery team was amazing and explained the setup process for our first hot tub! Overall, amazing and would highly recommend.
We recently completed a large outdoor hardscaping project with the Fun Outdoor Living team and are thrilled with the process and final outcome. From personal consultation with Andrey at our home, to plans, suggestions on design and materials, to permits and subcontractors they do it all! They were flexible, accessible, transparent in communication and delivered what they said they would on time and for the cost discussed. We love our new space!
We had a wonderful experience with Fun Outdoor Living. It started with our appointment with Andrey to discuss what we were thinking of, the plants we liked and what we were trying to achieve. He sat down with his lap top and created the landscaping and patio design. Before he left we had a plan. Melissa submitted all the paperwork needed for our HOA and we were approved in a week. Once approved it was only a few weeks before they came and finished the job in a day and a half. What’s really important about using them is that they have their own crew. Some of them have worked with them for 7+ years. The job is not getting subcontracted out, which I hear happens a lot with other landscapers. Andrey came out the day of the job and called me after to see if I was happy with the work:)They also plant high quality plants. We’re enjoying our homes a lot more these days, make sure you enjoy the outdoors too.
Great purchase experience from Ken Hormel. I took a serial number of a used Hot Springs Vanguard spa to him and asked him how old it it and what I need to get it running. Ken knows his craft and didnt try to sell me anything I didnt need. He even told me which items I didnt need to buy when I presented them to him. Very professional, competent and friendly staff. I will recommend this store and products to anyone seeking advice. Thank you for a wonderful experience. I will definitely continue to shop at this store.
We have been looking for the hot tub and comparing the futures and Hot Springs brand is hands down the best.Our hot tub have been delivered yesterday and we had a blast and not disappointed in the choice at all!All process from buying up till delivery and installation was great!Knowledgeable sales guys and great customer service! Definitely recommend product and a store!
We recently purchased a Four Winds 7 seat hot tub from Ken at Fun Outdoor Living in Pineville, NC. Ken was extremely knowledgeable in advising us through our first hot tub purchase. He was honest, easy to work with and committed to finding the right fit. Ken went out of his way to come to our home to consult on how to level our tub and set up the chemicals. I highly recommend Four Winds spas, Fun Outdoor Living Pineville and Ken. He made the process less stressful allowing us to purchase with confidence.
We had our hot tub for 4 yrs before we could finally install it in our new house . So when my husband filled tub we used it for a while but wasn’t sure if he had salt system right. Went to talk to Ken Hormel and he went through the while process with us. I mean this is like 5 yrs later. He is amazing willing to help . I love going to the store . He makes it a great experience ! Ken You Are The Best. Thanks for caring
I have dealt with Fun Outdoor Living for 2 months to purchase a hot tub. I accepted an offer to deliver a Vanguard Hot Springs tub the week of November 2nd. The employees later told me they sold the unit I was interested in purchasing. We accepted the price of $15,200 and never heard from them again. When I complained to Andre, the owner, I was basically given a big FU and told I’d have to wait until at least February. Lesson learned. This company is unreliable with respect to promises made. Very braggadocious regarding their reputation and how 1 customer’s experience will not impact their business. I would like to think they’re wrong. Reconsider your purchase. Do your research. Look for alternatives to Fun Outdoor Living.In response to Fun Outdoor Living’s rebuttal below, please note that the salesperson involved was a defendant in a lawsuit. It is my contention that my wife and I have been treated rudely by the owner and staff based on the ill will of the salesperson towards us. I was involved in prosecuting that case to judgment.If a potential customer wants to hear the whole story, Google me. I’m easy to find. I bought a hot tub from another dealer the same day the owner of this store was so rude and so untruthful. It will be delivered within 5 days of ordering, not 4 months as quoted by Fun Outdoor Living.CAUTION. Buyer beware.
I looked at many options before purchasing a Hot Springs hot tub. Katie Williams at Fun Outdoor Living was extremely helpful. Katie knew more about her products and her competitors than any other sales person I interacted with. I was much more confident buying from her. They were also very patient with me when I had construction delays on the patio and had to delay delivery of the tub.
My husband and I purchased a Beam Limelight HotSpring Spa from Katie at Fun Outdoor Living. Her level of product knowledge and professionalism made it easy to make the best spa choice. After receiving our spa, the support and accessibility from Katie has been fantastic. We love our spa and the Freshwater Salt System. Also the delivery guys were very accommodating as well. We definitely recommend Fun Outdoor Living.
We bought our hot tub from Ken at the Pineville location! We have had it a year now and we are loving it!!!! Ken is always a huge help any time we go in to the store! He is eager to help us pick out our chemicals and explains exactly what they are for and how to use them. We have shared Kens name with several of our friends in case they ever want to purchase a hot tub. We are so glad we found Fun Outdoor Living and we are so blessed that they have employees like Ken!!!!!!!!!
I’ve been a customer of FOL for 3 years now. Selection, service and knowledge are top notch. Ken helped me with a grill and patio set when we first visited 3 years ago and till this day I still seek out Ken when I’m in there for his knowledge and opinion on items of interest. Ken truly takes the time with his customers to make sure they understand the product and that it works for their project.
Great experience at Outdoor Living! Ken knows everything there is to know about hot tubs and helped us pick out the right tub for us. We use it almost ever day! Great investment. If you are looking for a hot tub, make sure you see Ken first!
My wife and I contacted Fun Outdoor when we built a new home recently. We wanted a functional patio space that would incorporate a natural gas grill, a gas fire pit for our family to gather around, and a putting green (my favorite). Adam Kruse was our rep from Fun Outdoor. He was fantastic! He was very easy to work with, is a good communicator, and made some design recommendations that turned out to be excellent. I highly recommend Adam and Fun Outdoor!
I contracted fun outdoor living to do a screened in porch and outdoor patio area in our back yard. The experience from start to Finish was excellent. I worked with Andre and Dale through the duration of the project and both were a pleasure to work with. Both were available to answer any questions or concerns I had and were willing to go the extra mile to make sure my wife and I were happy with the project. I would highly recommend FOL for any project of this nature.
Always eager to assist us. We have had our Hot Spring Vanguard Hot tub 3 years and living it and the service we have received from Fun Outdoor Living
I visited with Ken at Fun Outdoor Living.He was none other than most helpful and knowledgeable. He was very polite and patient with all my many questions. So if you are in the market for spa sales or products. Dont hesitate to ask for Ken. He will most definitely take care of all your needs
My husband and I bought a hot tub from FOL 4 years ago and are still enjoying it. It needs a service call for minor issues and Ken helpfully shared the service provider information. No heavy handed sales pressure- just a nice guy! We highly recommend their store and products. Jim & Donna Peters
We are very happy with our spa purchase from Fun Outdoor Living!! Julia was fantastic with the install and everything involved with experience! She was so knowledgeable about the products and super helpful with all of our questions. Everyone there was very friendly and very helpful. We have also called for follow up questions and been treated very well by everyone wevew encountered! We highly recommend Fun Outdoor Living! We will be lifelong customers for sure!
Our experience with FOL was far superior than anyone else weve worked with in Charlotte. We had a whole outdoor space designed and constructed with two patios, retaining wall and landscaping. Andrey was our Project Manager and delivered EXCEPTIONAL customer service throughout the entire process. Once onsite, Oscar and his crew were AMAZING with their attention to detail, the quality of the finished product and how well they cleaned up afterwards. Oscars crew was very attentive to making sure our neighbors felt minimal impact from the project. We have 2 more projects we want to do outside and we will be calling FOL for both!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!
Ken Hormel and his team at the Pineville showroom were great to work with. They provided great insight into the most cost effective options that met our “wish list” for our outdoor kitchen. Ken came to our home and provided us with renderings of the kitchen shown at different locations within our space. Ken’s personal consultation and the quality of the materials completely sold us. We are most happy with our great outdoor space! Thank you, Ken and team.
Got an awesome deal on an even more awesome Hot Springs spa! Thanks to Katie at the Pineville store for helping us with the purchase and for answering our questions after the sale. Would recommend to everyone!
REALLY pleased with the sales and service from Fun Outdoor Living, specifically, Ken and Andre. Bought a hot tub from Ken a few weeks ago and while it didnt come fully equipped as specd, Andre quickly stepped in to ensure the wheels were set in motion to rectify the situation. He even stopped by during the install to make certain things were going well and stopped by a second time to drop off some additional products and show us how to keep the tub running in top form. A final shout out to Sharon for her fine customer service skills.Thanks all,Alex
Julia di an outstanding job when we purchased our hot tube. Works great and everyone in the family loves it. Only change was having it hard wired for 240volt so it would heat and run at the same time.
We had a great experience with Fun Outdoor Living. Andrey was helpful and very attentive. Whenever we had a question or concern he was right there to answer and address it. The construction crew was neat and very friendly, they were a pleasure to have around. It’s been almost 2 yrs and everything is looking good and holding up well. We love our outdoor kitchen.
We were interested in purchasing some of the expensive poly patio furniture. We first arrived and were greeted by a lady, but we just wanted to look around so she left the store. When we were finally ready to ask question and make a purchase we realized that the two guys working there could not have cared less about our potential purchase, as they were playing video games (Mario Kart to be exact) over by the hot tubs. They have a whole area set up. We’re going to purchase from elsewhere, that doesn’t specialize in video games.Update: To his response, once the lady left, there was no one in the store remotely interested in talking to us. The only people visible were the ones playing video games.I apologize that we wanted to look around without being harassed right away. If you don’t want to have to deal with guest taking their time in your showroom, perhaps you just shouldn’t have a showroom.Also, rather than taking time to argue with reviews online, you could actually employ all of those people your claiming were there to help us.But don’t worry, we won’t be back, backyard places like yours are a dime a dozen.
I worked with Adam on a patio, outdoor kitchen, and fire pit build and worked with Ken on a hot tub purchase. They were both great and genuinely wanted to help complete my project. These guys are true professionals! Be patient on scheduling and plan ahead, Rome wasnt built in a day and neither is your back yard oasis...but you will NOT be disappointed with the end result.
The crew at Fun Outdoor Living are phenomenal. We have had them build us 2 different patios now. We first had them build a patio to put the hot tub we purchased from them on. We loved the design and Andrey was great to work with. When we sold our house and built new, we refused the builders patio because we were set on having the team at FOL build the patio we wanted and not one we had to settle for. We love our patio and outdoor kitchen and recently added a gorgeous wine barrel fire table to complete our outdoor living space. We would highly recommend FOL for any of your outdoor living needs!
We hired Fun Outdoor living to do our outdoor fireplace. We couldn’t happier. It turned out beautiful and didn’t cost a fortune. Very pleased and thankful to Adam Kruse our sales rep. He took very good care of us throughout the entire process.
At Fun Outdoor Living, Katie was an absolute dream to work with! Questions we had she got, along with information needed! Will not hesitate at all to highly recommend Her and Fun Outdoor Living for any of your outdoor kitchen needs! We live our Bull appliances and doors! 100% Satisfied
Great company to work with. From the 3D drawings provided to the complete installation of our patio. This company is highly recommended. Oh and let’s not forget the very competitive pricing they provide. They will be recommended to all my neighbors.
In May 2018, as we closed on our new home, we needed a new hot tub with therapeutic jets, Mike OBrien and Julia were very understanding to our specific needs and presented us the tubs that would specifically address our needs. From the day we began shopping to the day of our selection and purchase Mike and Julia provided excellent service!To follow-up with, weeks later we needed guidance in maintaining the chemical balance and Mike sent another employee who was knowledgeable in water chemicals and he took his time showing us what to do! At the six month mark, Julia called to see how things were going and to assure we were satisfied.This shows Fun outdoor Living values their customers!
Andrey, Juan, Dale and their crews did a great job. Andrey was always available or quick to return calls, evenings and weekends included. The installation crews showed up on time each day and were professional, friendly and courteous. Their work was outstanding. Three days for the patio and a part day for the pergola. Everything was cleaned up and put back in order at the end of the job. Great result.Pics of the process: flic.kr/s/aHsm7hfcaY
The best service one can ask for. Quality stone work with 5 year guarantee. No issues so far. The grill stone work amazing. I recommend this company over others by far. Andrey handled my account did a fabulous job. Great customer service within the store. Thanks guys. Cant wait for my swing installation.
Just bought my 1st Green Egg from Fun Outdoor Living in Pineville. Such a great friendly atmosphere in the store, will definitely go back for future purchases. Thanks for all your help today Ken.John
Purchased a Sycamore Hot tub for my wife for Christmas from Fun Outdoor Living. 4th hot tub we have ever owned and so far one of the best. Highly recommend the Sycamore. Ken Hormel helped with the selection and answered our concerns as we wanted it for hydro therapy & relaxation. Ken and his delivery crew were great with delivery and leveling the tub and coordinating with my electrician for set up. Ken himself came out to balance the water. Enjoying our 3rd month of use and are happy with our purchase.
FOL installed a custom patio and firepit in my backyard last month. Andrey F. worked with us to incorporate our ideas and wishes into the design, while also making sure we eliminated some pitfalls that other companies did not bring up when we received their quotes. He was incredibly knowledgeable, and was able to give us options and alternative products to help us stay within our budget. We love our finished patio, and thankful we waited to get additional quotes (theirs), as we got more for our money than we were looking at with two other companies. The patio was completed ahead of schedule and the crew did a great job with clean up. I will only be recommending and using FOL for patio work.
We recently purchased a new home and received several bids for a patio, outdoor kitchen, and spa. We decided on Fun Outdoor Living. Andrey was great to work with, attentive and responsive. They just completed the project and we couldn’t be happier. Exactly what we envisioned.
I have had a great experience working with Jason McDonald when I purchased my hot tub. Most of our interaction was online or in text. He was careful, thoughtful, and complete in his giving me the information necessary for me to make an informed decision concerning the purchase of a salt tub. I could not have asked for finer salesmanship or eventual help once I made it to the showroom! I high recommend him to you!Steven Schulz, Heath Springs, SC
I loved that Ken was very knowledgeable about hot tubes. He answered every question I had. Even after the installation. They were a one stop shopping for all my backyard needs. My hot tub, deck and pavers came out fantastic. Adam was wonderful designing my yard, loved all the work he did on his computer to show us how great it would look.
Great experience with Fun Outdoor Living! Ken is a very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful sales person. We love our hot tub!
This is my 4th HotSprings Spa and the first from Fun Outdoor Living. The spa is the greatest, but the Customer Service and level of Communication I’ve received from Fun Outdoor Living seals the deal. 110% satisfied.
Very professional; high quality work. Thorough communication and follow-up from beginning to end. Highly recommend!
Great dealing with this business, Fun Outdoor Living. We purchased a hot tub with the assistance of the terrific showroom staff, office/ business personnel. We also had our patio designed and constructed by Andrey Fleyshman and his terrific crew. Beyond pleased with the purchase, delivery and patio. Would highly recommend this business.
Very poor service. Dont but a Hot Springs Spa here unless you want the sales people telling you are stupid about water chemistry. Very tiring when after 2 different services calls you tell them again and again with the issue with their fresh water system and they tell you you dont understand. I made a mistake and now hate my spa. My water smells so bad my grand kids wont get in the spa
Our new Paver Stone Patio is perfect! It’s the ideal space to entertain our guests and we love enjoying the fire pit during the evenings. Adam and the Fun Outdoor Living crew made it easy for us. They had design ideas that met our needs, they had the project completed on time, and their price was most reasonable. If you’re looking to do patio pavers in your backyard, Fun Outdoor Living should be your first and last call. Thanks Adam!
Ken is a great guy and man of his word. He took care of me and I am sure he will take good care of you!
Our patio looks great and the hot tub feels great., Everyone was easy to work with and responsive; Andrey, Melissa, Pedros, Rich, I wish I could name them all. Highly recommended.
Super experience in selecting and purchasing our hot tub - the whole staff made us feel very welcome and were so nice to work with. Ken was fantastic - helped us pick a model and gave us a good price. Delivery team was top notch. Our Grandee is now nearly two years old - we love it so much were having the crew install a CoolZone for us this weekend! Go see Ken and the gang - they will treat you right.
Awesome company to work with, We bought a very nice Hot Springs tub and they were willing to hold it in storage with for 2 months until our new home was ready. We live almost on the VA line the delivery crew was onetime and super nice guys. Andrey was our sales Rep hes awesome to work with and will designing an outdoor kitchen area soon. Yesterday I had a Startup question and John the owner of the company just happen to answer my call.... WOW Super Nice Guy ...was very patient with me and explained everything in basic detail and did not rush the conversation at all...This Very Much Impressed Me...The before and after Sales Customer Support is 5 + Stars..... A Big Thank You to, Andrey, Susans and John.Don H. and Will S.
Great service and love employees. Our family got our hot tub and whole backyard down just right. The owner is a master designer, he listened to our needs for being able to get around and its great. They have three store so far I hope they grow even more!
Ken is very nice to work with, and he knows the details of his spas ! We recommend Fun Outdoor Living !
Ken was very friendly and professional and got us exactly what we were looking for.
Fun Outdoor Living did a fantastic job on my small paver walkway project. Adam Kruse (our sales rep)was very prompt and professional. Adams knowledge and creativity along with competitive pricing made it a no brainier for us to go with Fun Outdoor Living. I spoke with roughly five other companies for my small project but Adam showed the most depth of knowledge and gave me the most confidence that the job would be done right. After the agreement was executed, the job was turned over to the project manager, who was professional, intelligent, and experienced. He reviewed the entire project with me prior to getting started. At the conclusion of this project I was very happy and fully satisfied. I would definitely recommend Adam Kruse & Fun Outdoor Living for your outdoor projects ! A+++++++
I am now the proud owner of a new Hot Springs Spa. I was very pleased with the information I received from Andrey at Fun Outdoor Living. He certainly knows about spas. I was happy with all aspects of my purchase experience: the no hard-sell attitude, the complete description of the features and mechanics of the spa, the encouragement to go and look at the competition, the men who delivered the spa and finally the on site education about how to deal with the chemicals and maintenance. I highly recommend Fun Outdoor Living for their service and great line of spas.
My wife and I worked with Andrey with Fun Outdoor Living - I cant say enough great things about this fellow!! Bottom line - friendly, creative designer, highest integrity, thoughtful, punctual, manages expectations exceptionally well, hard worker and tremendous organizer. An exceptional experience from start to finish! We contracted with FOL for a multi-month project which included a new deck, sun room, retaining walls, patios, outdoor kitchen, outdoor fire-pit, outdoor fireplace, pergolas, paver driveway, swim-spa, irrigation system, stone walkways, landscaping, landscape lighting and sod. Andrey Fleishman, our designer, point person and project manager, made a huge project a joy. He is a high contact, friendly, professional, design genius, and visionary that lives up to the company name, truly creating Fun Outdoor Living. From design concept, through planning and execution, Andrey maintained a keen focus on customer service and superior end product, and all well within budget! The time he took sketching ideas on graph paper, discussing minute details, helping decide on models, options, colors, etc., and managing all the subs, went beyond my expectations. With a project this size, there will inevitably be scope creep and change requests - these too - were handled in an exceptional manner. Many companies will not accept change orders; FOL welcomed the changes and additions, which ultimately led to a grander end product. I feel that Andrey, the subs he chose, the materials that were used, the customized design, the end result and the price - were all 5 star. At this point, my wife and I are trying to imagine other outdoor projects, just so we can continue working with Andrey and FOL. I would HIGHLY recommend using this company from the simple (just a spa) to the ultra complex (a 2,000 sq ft outdoor oasis); I would HIGHLY recommend speaking to Andrey, before you decide on going with anyone else - you will not regret it.
If you are looking for an awesome outliving experience from hot tubs to perfolas this is the place to go.
We happened upon a spa sale on the corner and met the nicest, knowledgable representative who directed us to the showroom as we were looking for a Swimspa...the team there from Andrey, and even Sharon and Chris on service are attentive, committed to making sure you are happy with their product.
Hot tub was installed and delivered in a timely manner. Reasonable pricing for high quality product. I would recommend outdoor living for a variety of your outdoor needs.
I appreciated Jason and the team going out of their way to help me. First class service! Highly recommend!
With our newly purchased home not having much of a backyard at all due to a steep and immediate drop off we were in serious need of a retaining wall and fence to go along with it. FOL were not only helpful and efficient in making that happen, taking care of the permits and correspondence with our HOA, but also referred us to other reputable local service providers (e.g. landscapers) to truly complete the project and also help us out with smaller non-related household projects as we were new to the area. We now have a backyard! And are looking forward to having FOL help us put in a new patio there…
Ken Hormel was great to work with! He was very patient with our questions and went out of the way to help us every chance he got during the purchase and after the purchase.
My experience with FOL has been great. There were a few small bumps in the road but nothing major. They installed 691 sq ft of pavers for us and did a great job. I didnt like that polymeric sand wasnt included in my service because the price wasnt cheap! So I asked Andre why that was and he explained why, which I accepted his explanation.However, Andre has ALWAYS taken or returned my calls regarding questions about my pergola (and hot tub that I purchased from another company before I learned of FOL). He even delivered our hot tub from storage to our home (for a fee of course) and referred us to an excellent inexpensive electrician to run the line!!! Can you find a company cheaper than FOL on some things, sure you can. But Ive learned over the years that cheaper isnt always better. Andre is very knowledgeable in this space and he provides great customer service and support, which was VERY IMPORTANT TO US.So in closing, although I couldnt afford to have them build my pergola and plant my privacy trees, I would highly recommend FOL if your budget is bigger than mine, lol.
Fantastic company, great doing business with them!
I am a first time Hot Tub buyer and visited the Fun Outdoor Living Store in Pineville. I met Ken Hormel and he patiently explained the ABCs of Hot Tubs and shared with me everything I needed to consider and know before I made my first purchase. I visited the showroom in Pineville many times and each time Ken worked with me and responded to all of my questions. Ken even took the time to travel to my home in Belmont, NC to review our planned location for our Hot Tub and we discussed installation and everything I needed to know to proceed with the purchase. I bought a HotSpring Vanguard Tub and the delivery was seem-less and went very smoothly. My husband and I couldnt be happier. Ken remains consistently available to me as we work through our learning curve in balancing our water and any other questions that come to mind. A great product and responsive service makes a happy customer and that would be me.
Adam was great, designed a wonderful patio that we are enjoying. He gave great advice and listened to our goals for the patio.
Jason is great to work with and definitely takes care of anything you need. This is my 2nd purchase from Fun Outdoor Living and the Bull Outdoor Island is amazing and I can thank Jason enough for all his support through the process!
