I immediately started calling the Bay Area spa companies that Grok recommended. Only TC picked up the phone. He calmly walked me through troubleshooting over the phone, helped me identify the issue, and guided me step-by-step until we stopped the leak. I was honestly shocked and so grateful that he took the time to help me on a weekend without even being on-site yet. I can't thank him enough. This level of genuine customer service is rare. From now on, TC and his company will be my only call for any swim spa service.

I sent George Flanigan a request for quote and service of my 2023 Sundance Cameo 880 series Spa…read moreafter I looked over his website and saw what a great job he did at listing all his spa services and the associated charges. I had a hell of a time with both mildew or mold growth in my spa where I did a complete change of water and a deep cleaning along with a chemical cleaning of the jets just two months ago. Yet I was still getting brown flecks that were coming out the Jets and floating around my spa and I had really lost my patience with it. George contacted me back the same day via email with some very useful information and said he could make it out the next day to look things over and come up with a game plan. He said it sounded like it would be a two-day service where he would have to drain the spa and use a commercial jet cleaner one day and let the spa sit overnight, then refill it and super shock the spa the next day before refilling it and balancing all the chemicals. The knowledge he imparted to me about water chemistry that first day was beyond anything I had ever heard before and there were a few different reasons why I was dealing with the issues that I had. He mentioned there were no guarantees this would take care of the problem but he had handled spas worse than mine before and been able to solve their issues. I have been a spa owner for over 30 years but this new spa has been a real challenge and obviously my chemical balancing wasn't preventing the growth in the spa. Two days later my water is crystal clear and my chemical levels are all completely within safety levels. It's refreshing to find someone in their field of expertise who knows what needs to be done and communicates it flawlessly then executes on the plan with stellar results! I was so impressed with his timeliness and service, I decided to hire him for weekly maintenance on my spa so I wouldn't have to worry about whether I was balancing the chemicals correctly anymore or not. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Alumni Pool Service for any kind of pool or spa servicing based on my experience with them!

It has been a pleasure to work with Jeff from Pool Pro during the last 10 years. He is the only…read morepool expert who has been able to keep our pool clean and clear over the years. We have been lucky to have him. Prior to Jeff, we had over 13 years of our 22 by 40 foot pool that would constantly turn green with algae. It was the chlorine/Shock defying monster. 2 pool cleaning companies basically gave up or were unable to prevent the pool from getting pea soup murky. Often, we could not even see the shallow end of the pool. At the advice of another pool firm, we even re-plastered the pool, hoping it would make a difference. It didn't. When Jeff started, he was confident he could resolve the problem. He systematically optimized the performance of the pool equipment including the pool sweep, pool pump and pool filter. Then he amazingly balanced the pool chemicals (you know the chlorine, soda ash, Shock, muriatic acid, etc.) and in no time, he had cured the algae problem! He is dependable, comes to check the pool regularly and if needed, he would come out extra to ensure the pool stayed clear. It is notable that even when he sometimes had to add additional chlorine, our pool never smelled like excess chlorine. He also ensures the pool equipment is well maintained to maximize cleaning efficiency. If you are having difficulty keeping your pool clean, or if you want to just want to have someone good to work on your pool, I would highly recommend Jeff from Pool Pro.

This is a long overdue review, and for that I apologize to proprietor and pool man extraordinaire,…read moreTommy Mazik. We purchased a home on a short sale from some disgruntled owners that, among other things, decided to stop taking care of the pool once the sale process began. Needless to say we were greeted by a swamp when we took possession of the property. It took a week to discover things that had been thrown into the deep end of the pool, it was so filled with algae and who knows what else. After attempting to work with another service we found here on Yelp (which I won't review as they never charged me for their failed attempts, so no harm done aside from frustration) I called Mazik Touch hoping for better results. He offered to make concessions in his weekend schedule to come by, but considering the state we were in I didn't think it was necessary. The offer speaks volumes to his service levels, though, so it's definitely worth mentioning. Fast forward a month (yes, it took that long)... after numerous visits, a significant amount of chemicals, and at least two sessions vacuuming direct to the drain the pool was clear as can be. I couldn't have hoped for anything more than I witnessed, and dove unafraid into the water that weekend. The highest praise I can offer Tommy is that numerous family members, my wife included, didn't believe the water could be salvaged and would need to, at substantial cost, be replaced entirely. Happily, that wasn't necessary thanks to Mazik's services. Our last visit was his "handoff", at which he educated me on how to properly maintain the pool, which I like to think I've done a fair job of since he last visited. I never could have recovered the mess we inherited, though, and for that Tommy has an open invite to visit anytime he likes. Since then he's checked in (via text, no less, very modern), offered ph/alk balancing advice, suggested the appropriate course of action to make our drain safe (this was before Usher's incident with his kid) and referred us to a fencing company so we could make the pool a bit safer for our little guy. I would recommend, without hesitation, picking up the phone and calling Mazik Touch for all your pool needs.

I'm the family member of Daniel, who wrote the 5-star review for Cervantes in 2020 but he's lost…read morehis account and cannot log back in. He cancelled our service out the blue randomly with a week's notice, leaving us scrambling to find another pool service company right when the summer hits - so he can avoid having to spend money on chemicals. He cut us off with a single text despite being loyal customers for over 5 years and having openly referred new clients to him. Tino and his crew were good in the beginning. But in recent years, the service and quality of Cervantes has gone down the tubes. One is that he can't keep his workers, so we were getting new workers every week who didn't understand the pool and weren't given any information besides "show up to this address at this time" by Tino. They were not set up to succeed because there was no knowledge handoff explained, they would come, sweep the pool in 5-10 minutes and then leave every week, completely incapable of handling changes in temperature and chemicals. It eventually got so bad in the final years we had to escalate Tino multiple times (who doesn't answer his phone) and the office (who appears to just be his daughter) is always unavailable - so no phone call would ever get through. Tino would begrudgingly then send out someone specialized who could handle the pool to turn it blue after the usual guys had left it green. This was a constant problem in our last 2 years with Cervantes, the constant battle between the unprofessionalism and the poor service rendered by the underpaid workers. When we would finally get a stable blue clean pool, the good worker would just leave a few weeks later and the whole cycle would repeat again. It's not Cervantes / Tino fault that he can't keep his workers. But knowingly sending poor workers to maintain pools, especially those of longtime customers, only fixing the problem when the pool actually deteriorates into a green dirty state, and then constantly nickel-and-diming people over chemicals to drive a buck is shameful. His treatment methods are outdated - he will regularly demand payments on $80 phosphate treatments multiple times a year arguing that the pool cannot be blue without it. In his final years, Cervantes began billing aggressively for random repairs and fixes AFTER THE FACT without any documentation or communication of the problem beforehand, which makes for a frustrating billing experience because you have no idea what you're paying for. We ended up finding out ourselves that the sweep that we had paid ~$200 in miscellaneous unexplained "repairs" for over the past 3 years is actually completely broken and we would have been better off just replacing the sweep entirely for just double the cost. We paid Cervantes all of these without question over the course of 5 years.
