Pool opening a complete disaster this year. Spent less than 10 minutes at the house and it really…read moreshows. The pool was as green as a pond from the winter. kings did the closing , I did find a hole in the cover but is seems like the water was not treated in any way... hmmm ... I guess a dumb guy like me expects some water treatment for over $300 in fees. The opening ... I left , shock , chlorine and DE earth for the filter. I go to work and my wife calls asking how she should add the shock. My pool is green, the shock is sitting on the deck and I am paying you to open my pool, can you at least ask my wife if you can add it ? Or better yet, just add it, I clearly left it for that purpose. When I arrived home, I saw the pump trickling water and zero flow coming out of the jet. I thought maybe the algae had backed up the filter already so I primed the pump and that helped a little but it was still not filling all the way up. I reached down and tested the handles on the basket and they were barely tightened !!! Give me a break. I tightened them and that solved the issue for a while. I came back an hour later and the pressure was spinning way to high , no flow from jet and now water dripping all out the top of the filter, screws not tightened there properly either. Since the pressure is increasing so quickly I am pretty sure the DE was not added or added improperly. Lastly, he did hook up my chlorine distributor and he even filled it with tabs that I left but he left it in the off position. Today I am left with the task of learning how to do this myself. I left a bag of DE and it looks untouched. The screws are not tightened properly. The pressure rises as you watch, leave for vacation on Thursday. We also bought a new liner from them last year. There lead worker is not a nice person at all but they did a good job. Did not win us any points on openings and closings though, there lead guy just doesn't seem to like us. I'm going to just take care of it myself, it's an expensive service and I am really upset over the simple stuff not being done with any type of professionalism and their workers being rude and uncommunicative . To recap my grievance's , no talk or explanation on why it was so green. In other years it has been perfect, not every year but nothing like this. No 2 minute chat about anything , did not add shock or ask if he could , did not turn on chlorine dispenser, did not tighten the screws properly on the filter or even bother to twist the handles on the basket all the way and did not add any DE. I'm not even sure how much to add but I'll let my boss know I'll be late today while I figure it out .... Hope he doesn't mind. Just very confused and upset with Kings. Just got off the phone with Mike, he stands behind his workers but was completely indifferent to my complaints. Blamed me for filling form out wrong and did zero to address the poor job and bad attitude. It's not worth $250 dollars to half tighten a few screws and throw a few scoops of DE in the general direction of the skimmer. Actually his indifference to my complaints just made it worse. Really bad bad customer service, he blamed it on to many customers lol. Well he has one less one to worry about, no big deal obviously they don't care about their customers.

Last week, my daughter called to see when they were planning on coming, considering it's been so long since we've heard anything. The woman on the phone was extremely rude and nasty. She basically said they service big money customers before anyone else. My daughter then asked if there was any discount to be given considering we're nearly halfway through pool season and the woman laughed and continued to be nasty to her. so even though we have planned extremely ahead, we continue to get bumped down the list. This does not sound like a fair way to treat your customers. At this point, we may have 2 1/2 good months to use our pool. I understand this is a seasonal business and I am sure they are busy, however, how are you supposed to plan more ahead than December for the summer? This is not a way to do business. I will never use this company again and will make sure all of our friends know so they stop using them as well. Extremely disappointed

When I called for an estimate on a bathroom remodel the employee asked more questions about my budget than the work I wanted done and the materials I wanted to use. After I tried to steer the conversation back to the work I wanted done, the frustrated employee said that their bathroom remodel prices start at $25,000 and that it would be a waste of their time to do an estimate if I wasn't willing to pay that price. To be honest, none of the pictures of bathroom remodels on their website look like they justify a minimum $25K price tag so I decided to go with a more reasonably priced remodeler. Unfortunately, Tischendorf was more interested in seeing how deep my pockets were rather than my goals for the project. This just shows the importance of getting multiple quotes before deciding on a contractor.

I had an excellent experience with Al at Three rivers roofing. I bought our home just this year and…read moredespite its roof being relatively new, it was leaking and I had shingles detaching. Al came out promptly and his estimate was fair and he took the time to explain the details of what was wrong with my roof and what repairs were needed. He had his crew out to fix the roof within 48 hrs, and they were done within a day. The roof was fixed and I had no more issues with leaks. I let it go over the winter before leaving this review so I could see how the work held up and I am quite satisfied. Project came in within budget. Excellent experience

Very poor experience with Al and Three Rivers Contracting. I recently hired Three Rivers to fix a…read moreroof leak that was allowing water to enter my home. I'll provide a very detailed account of the experience below for people who are considering hiring Three Rivers Contracting, but the short version is they told me it would cost $3,650 to fix the water issue. They completed the work but the issue is completely unresolved. Three Rivers Contracting and Al refuse to address the issue and have taken my money without doing what they were hired to do. Very shady business. I called Al to discuss getting a quote for a roof leak that was allowing water to enter my main bedroom. Al was kind and prompt in setting up a time to inspect the roof and provide a quote. About a week later Al stated he had gotten up on the roof and suggested some repairs that would cost between $3500-$4000 depending on the final cost of materials. I asked if this would resolve the water issue (as this was the entire purpose of getting the work done) and Al said it would. A few weeks later I called Al back and agreed to hire him for the job. Al wasn't able to start the repairs for a few weeks because of rainy weather in the area, which was understandable. A few days later I sent Al photos of the damage the water was causing inside and asked if he knew where we were in terms of scheduling because the water damage was getting worse. Al said we would be the next job as soon as there is a clear day and even provided a couple of suggestions to mitigate the water damage in the meantime. It's clear that the only reason I was getting the work done was to stop the water leak. As promised, a worker came by a few days later and completed the work. The work took less than a full day. Al came by the following day to pick up a check for the work and said we should be good to go and to call if there were any issues as the work comes with a 1-year warranty. After the next rainstorm I noticed water still coming in all of the same spots as before. I sent Al a text message to let him know the issue was still happening and he gave me a call to discuss. Al advised there could be issues with the siding or maybe an issue with another totally separate portion of the roof. This was quite a surprise as this was NEVER mentioned before. The job was sold as $3,650 to fix the water leak, NOT $3,650 and it might fix it, it might not. I don't know anything about roofs so I trusted what Al told me. Al then went on to tell me the contractor who remodeled the house prior to me purchasing the property should fix this and I should take it up with them or the home inspector? He went on to say he hates working on these "flip" homes because they are all junk, etc. Maybe that's true, I don't know, but why would you not review this before agreeing to the job. Instead they took my money and didn't fix the problem. Three Rivers has been extremely unaccountable and have done nothing but blame the previous owners of the home and home inspector. I don't understand how this is relevant since they were hired to fix the leak and they didn't fix the leak at all. Now I'm out thousands of dollars and have to find someone else to fix the leak. Absolutely awful experience. Avoid at all costs.

Over the past several years of home ownership I have had various plumbers out to fix one thing or another. Most of the time they were from big commercial plumbing companies like Roto-Rooter who charged too much and did the bare minimum. So faced with a big problem I knew I had to get someone out to my place stat but who? I visited homeadvisor.com to see if I could get a couple of plumbers to contact me who would one service my area, and was knowledgeable enough fix my problem. I got two calls, one was from Gary owner of Clear Blue. I decided to meet him within a day for a free estimate. I don't know too many plumbers that do free estimates anymore, so this was a good way to gauge if this could work out. Gary showed up roughly on time and gave me a few estimates depending on the problem. I agreed and he and his employee were out the next afternoon to start fixing what could have ended up being a huge problem and extremely expensive. Though it took another plumbing professional to completely fix the problem, Gary was great at pin pointing what the issues most likely were and where to go from there. He followed up with me the next day after the other plumbing professional, who was also wonderful, had completely fixed my problem. I very highly recommend Clear Blue Plumbing and will continue to use them from here on out, I just hope the next time I need him it's because I want to replace my shower. Extremely professional, considerate, and reasonably priced.

Thanks to Gary and Chris and their entire team - I would recommend Clear Blue Plumbing unconditionally.
