We have used Pool Specialists for years on our inground pool. The owner is a gruff egomaniac but…read moreseems like he knows the business so we stuck with them. This year he went off on a rant about a gas line near the pool filter, using expletives about the gas company and threatening us with big fees caused by the gas company piping for our new generator. When I complained to his office that I didn't like the time of his communication he simply sent me a text saying they were dropping us. This after 5-6 years as a customer and thousand of dollars in repairs and maintenance. He may be knowledgeable but his horrible attitude makes dealing with him a very unpleasant experience . I recommend you steer clear of him and his company. On a side note, Morgan in his office is a dream to work with. He needs to stay away from customers.

We hired Pool Specialists Inc. and signed a contract with them, on Feb 25th, 2020, for replacing…read moreour Pool Liner. We paid Craig Wooster, the owner, a sum of $3911.70 (80% of the total amount due) on Feb 26th, 2020 at the time of signing a contract. The balance ($690.30) was paid after the services were completed. In addition, we also paid a separate charge of $250 for the water tanker. They installed the Liner after few reminders and few false promises to show up, sometime in mid-April. Usually, the life of the Pool Liner is minimum 5 Years. Within 6 months of replacing the liner, following things went wrong: 1. The liner lock, which goes along the edge, came off 70%. 2. The Liner itself has started to slide down from the wall along the edges. 3. The bottom drainage caps, which were replaced as part of the replacement process, were installed or placed too high - because of which, our robotic pool cleaner gets stuck and therefore is not able to clean the pool. (Please keep in mind, the same robotic (around $800 with Tax) was being used with the old drainage system and had no issues whatsoever. Please see the picture of the cleaner below. In August, when we reached out to the Pool Specialists and explained them the problems/issues of the work they completed - A.B. (The Administrative Assistant) asked us to send the pictures of the affected area/or the area with issues. We sent the pictures via email on September 23, 2020. Since we did not get any response, we decided to call late September/early October. A.B. and T (owner's girlfriend) promised to send someone on Monday October 5th, BUT NO ONE SHOWED UP. When we followed back, A.B. said that she will put a note to send someone on Wednesday Morning, October 7th. But again, like always, they did not show up around the specified time. D., an employee of Pool Specialist came early evening. When we showed him the issues we had with the pool, he said that the owner (C W) has asked not to touch or do anything, HE JUST LEFT AFTER LOOKING AT THE ISSUES. The whole incident made us so frustrated and it felt like a big headache dealing with the people of this company. When we reached out to A. B. and T over the phone regarding what is going on, they did say that they will convey the information to the owner. Today, October 12th, 2020 I called multiple times and left the message again at both of their extensions (i.e. extension 0 and extension 3) in the morning, but still have not heard anything from them. Yes, THEY WILL ALWAYS SPEAK TO YOU NICELY, but WE DID NOT PAY TO SPEAK NICE - WE PAID TO DO THE WORK PROPERLY. I mean, yes, they will do the service - but definitely with delays and after you reach a BOILING POINT and will not guarantee/warranty the work. Now I leave it to you to decide, if you still would like to use their service.

At no point has he been salesy or pushy, quite the opposite: he even downsold me on how frequently we should be cleaning our pool (the previous company said we should clean weekly over the Winter, but Bill said it could be bi-weekly or even monthly if we did light cleaning in between weeks. And their cleaning prices are lower than others in the area, even though his team always does a great job. The best part, though, is that they are very responsive whenever I have questions or issues, and they're quick to come out and investigate, even fix things that are broken-- in some cases free of charge. I'm a big fan.

An added bonus is that James is very personable & easygoing. Highly recommended!
