I'm all about service people around the house. However after 4 failed pool services, I was wondering if a good one really existed! I met Zach while he was down the street servicing a neighbors pool. What the heck I thought to myself... Seeing how I dislike taking care of my own pool (a tree and hedge lined nightmare). Zach showed up within the hour and explained to me what the real issues that were going on. He sent me a written bid with equipment model numbers and the full price (very fair in my world). I took this info and quickly called a dear friend whose been servicing pools in the Marin area for 30 years, near San Francisco. She said it was exactly what she would have recommended knowing my pools odd requirements power wise and landscaped issues. Zach da man, installed all new equipment at the price quoted. My pool has never looked better or run cheaper. Okay so Zach's weekly service also has a lot to do with this! No more over spending on chemicals due to old (20 years) crappy inefficient equipment or an inefficient pool service person. Zach has made my pool life go from "fill that freaking thing in" to "last one in makes cocktails" Thanks Zach... You ROCK! I can only hope my heartfelt review does not send everyone running your way... I couldn't imagine my life without your reliable expert pool services! Gordo read more

We replaced our old single speed main pool pump with a Sta-Rite IntelliPro variable speed pool pump (VSP) a few weeks ago with Bishop Pool Service. Zac was knowledgeable and explained the job and potential options I had questions about. There was no up-selling and everything was installed and delivered on time and as promised. This was one of our efficiency improvement projects as we continue to run our house at "net zero" energy use (including heating and electric vehicles). The new system is much quieter and far more efficient. When the booster pump doesn't need to run the pool sweeper (only need to run that pump 1 hour per day), we have confirmed the VSP uses at least 80% less electricity than the single speed pump it replaced when running the main filtration cycle to filter the same amount of water. While running at that low speed, the VSP can not be heard at all from the bedroom on the other side of the wall and only in the backyard if one gets close up to it. read more

I've been working with Zac and his crew for 8 months and they are one of the best pool services I've had in 10 years. Zac even showed up last minute on a Friday night and delayed going out of town by an hour or two to save my butt (thank you Mrs. Bishop). He's no nonsense, gives you quotes before he fixes anything and most importantly his guys show up when they say they will. I highly recommend Bishop Pool. read more

Pool equipment acting up, lacking suction from the skimmer, so I needed to find someone to diagnose and repair. Found Bishop Pool Service & Repair right here on Yelp with great reviews from previous customers. Glad I called. Zac checked everything out, discovered the problem and was able to fix it without delay. He also took the time to explain what he found and why it happened along with providing me with some recommendations for prevention. I'm very happy with the service provided and now I know who to call when/if other issues arise. read more

Shoddy communication. Estimated a wide range estimate which then came in at the top end of the estimate, with an invoice containing no info summarizing or explaining what was done. I do not recommend their service. read more

Bishop Pool Service did a great job getting our pool equipment back in shape. Pool hasn't looked this good in several years. Dependable, knowledgeable and reasonably priced. Great job all around. read more

Bishop Pool Service & Repair has been excellent; both as a source of information as well as service and repair. Zac Bishop, the owner, has excellent responsiveness to all inquiries. He also has excellent workmanship. Would definitely use them again. read more

If I could give this pool service zero stars I would. We had used the same pool service for 10 + years and the owner moved out of state so we had to find someone new. I read the reviews and Bishop Pool Service had decent reviews so I decided to hire them for chemical only pool service. On day one, they started wanting to fix things around the pool and were really adamant about this and that needing to be repaired. There wasn't a single repair less than $500 but whatever. Our pool became green after week 1 of using this service. Our tech just kept saying we needed a new pump which would cost $2800 even though I said we've had the same pump for 15 years and never had a problem. The pump actually did break. They offered to come look at it for a fee of $125. I gave my husband the details and he responded that he could order a new pump from Amazon for $150 and fix it himself. The pump was fixed with 5 days. The pool understandably got greener. We ran the brand new pump 24 hours per day and the pool got worse and worse. On the 3rd week, I met the tech outside. I started telling him the pool needs algaecide He kept insisting we needed a new pump because ours was "too small" even though we've had it and it has worked perfectly for 20 years. He told me he would put chlorine in it to "hold it over". I've never had a pool service try and upsell me different things every single week. I'm not a chemist but it felt to me like they were intentionally keeping the pool green to force us to spend money on fixes. After the tech left after maybe the 4th week of using this company. My husband and I went to Walmart and bought chlorine and agaecide and the pool was blue and crystal clear within 48 hours. It has been ever since. I emailed Zack, told him we would no longer be needing their services. I never heard back from anyone wasn't even sure they received my email cancelling services. I received a bill for $35 dollars and politely ask that they wave this fee due to everything I just put in this review. The response I got was, "Unfortunately the fee is still due". Please do not use this service. They only want to sell new equipment and don't care if they lose a client. I kept thinking someone would call or email asking what had happened but no one ever did. VERY BAD BUSINESS! I have pictures if anyone wants to see them! read more

I have to second an earlier opinion....Zach is da Man! He helped fix and answer questions related to our pool plumbing, remote controls, landscape lighting, and the spa, even though it's not his forte (see comment later). Serendipity allowed me to fix some of my pool pump issues for which I had originally called Zach, but I had a good feeling about the reviews I'd read, and wanted to keep the appointment for other pool-related/backyard needs. He called back a day later (he wasn't sure if he could make the requested time), confirmed for the following Tuesday, and called ahead just like he said! And appeared at the time stated. Do you know how often that happens with other service people? Without embellishment, Zach has the right stuff to succeed in the pool business; he is prompt, service oriented, reasonably priced, knows his limits (no spas please), and willing to share his knowledge. Zach is affable AND professional, unlike some of the pool supply companies around town (no names needed, you know the two I am talking about...."Na***n's" and "Le***e's"...oops, sorry). Believe me, when my wife says she likes a person, that's an endorsement. So, without further ado, please call Zach for your pool needs; based on my experience, you will be read more

Customer service has been great, owner is very responsive and takes an active interest in his customer's happiness, and their communication skills are strong. Competitive pricing and have maintained my pool very well in the short time I've been with them after transferring from a different pool company. Highly recommend this company! read more

We had Zac out last year after my pool pump failed. He came out and swapped the pump/filter quickly and was very reasonable on his pricing. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for an honest and reliable pool service/repair company. read more

First time review but I've had Zach come out and help me with my pool on several occasions (pool pump/replace pool light). He is excellent (professional, knows his trade inside and out, reasonable prices and a great communicator)!! Another win for Yelp connecting me with Bishop Pool Service and Repair! read more

It took a lot for me to post this review as I know how a small business may be impacted by a negative review! But I thought I had to share some information! When I first contacted them, nick, the pool cleaning guy, came over and looked at my fountain and the pool, and said it would be no problem and gave me a quote! Based on all the positive reviews, I hired him and he started! After about 2 months, my fountain kept getting greener and dirtier and I finally talked to nick and he said he is taking care of it and it applying solutions! Well after another month, the fountain looked even worse and he finally came out and said this was his first fountain and he doesn't have a clue how to clean it!!! So why didn't he tell me upfront? I didn't appreciate that. I needed someone that could take care of both pool and fountain! So I had to let them go. After 4 months my fountain looked like a swamp! So I am just warning you, if you have a fountain , save yourself some time and money and go with someone else! read more

We called Bishop Pool Service when our pool service company wasn't meeting their obligations. From the moment Zach and Nick came to our house, we could tell they cared about the business. They were both very helpful and attentive to our needs. We had an older pool that was difficult to keep up, but Nick made certain to make it swimmable until we could afford a resurfacing. Nick would always tell us what we could do to make our pool last longer without any pressure of up selling or changing our servicing plan. I can not say enough about how great Bishop Pool Service is at their job. If your looking for a pool service company then look no further. You will not be disappointed. read more

Update: our back-up valve on our bottom pool skimmer cracked while we were on vacation, and Zach said he'd fix it the following week (which he did, on a Friday). Saturday morning the valve "blew off" the hose spewing chlorinated water everywhere. I reattached it myself later in the day, and Sunday morning it blew off again. Numerous attempts to reach Zach over the weekend were to no avail (come Monday we got the news " FYI: I don't have my cell over the weekends" --- really? Or you just don't care when a customer has an emergency after a repair you did fails?). We lost faith in him over this incident and was willing to let him come on his last pre-paid Friday of July, and he decided to "let's just call it over". We did. read more

Bishop Pools was really helpful in educating us about our pool/spa combo heating options (had gas heater that didn't work). We had previously been told by another company over phone that our heater was too old and he didn't want to bother himself or us with service call unless we were looking at getting new unit. When Bishop came out, Zac spent quite a while trying to see if if he could repair our unit. It did end up having too many issues and would require a bigger investment vs a replacement with same new unit. But we appreciated he took time to actually see if it was possible to fix first. He never tried to up-sell and was very practical with advice about our pool system in general, since we didn't want to spend a lot more money. We ultimately chose to purchase and have them install new gas heating unit. Happy with service and would use again. read more

Zac swapped out the majority of our pool equipment a few weeks back. After receiving a high verbal bid from my own pool service I reached out to Zac for a quote. He came by and told me what he recommended. Then he sent me a written quote. The price was much much better. Zac seems like a straight shooter, no bs. The new equipment seems to be working well and is as quiet as a church mouse. Also per his suggestion we added an option which allows us to control our pool and spa via a smartphone app. read more

If there were more stars I would give. Was on time - had to come twice and each visit, was timely. Actually recognized an issue we were not aware and provided a remedy. I will look no further if we have any issues with our pool or spa. Zac was amazing. read more

Can I say that Zac was an answer to prayer??? I had two companies flake out, a spa heater that went out and so on and so on. I know we will continue to use him. He is always on time and so helpful! Reliable service is so hard to find and I know found it. Thanks Zac! read more

We decided to try this company after reading the numerous favorable reviews on Yelp. Because of some scheduling conflicts and poor cell reception during our initial attempts, it took awhile before we were finally able to coordinate schedules and meet in person. The other reviews are accurate. Zach is extremely knowledgeable about pools, equipment, salt systems and solar. Although we initially set up this appointment as a consultation, Zach took the time to do a full service on our pool, including adding necessary chemicals, cleaning our salt system and reprogramming our auto-chlorinator. He answered all of our questions and offered good advice/recommendations. read more

Our pool was green and had black mold growing in the corners. We tried for weeks to get it clean and then I decided to call Zac after reading his reviews. He fixed it with some conditioner and a few other programming issues with the PDA. My husband was taught a few things and it is working great now. Very reasonable and on time. Thanks for a great service Zac. read more

Short and sweet. Answers his phone, returns calls promptly when he can't, shows up on time...Oh, and he does a good job! Miraculous! We had two other people work on the pool previously, and it only took him an afternoon to fix their mistakes. Pool's looking and feeling good. read more

Bishop Pool Service & repair is the BEST!!!! I price matched several pool service companies to get my pool from green to clean and he was hands down the most reasonable and was able to get it done quicker then other companies said they would. He is honest and straightforward and has kept our pool looking sparkling with his continued weekly service! Zac (owner) is quick to respond to any calls/ texts and even texts me prior to coming out to our house on our scheduled service day so I can put my dog away. I've done the homework for you and know that Bishop Pool Service & Repair is the best so call them today...you'll be happy you did! read more

I read Zack's reviewers through Yelp, then decided to ask around and found out he was also who our neighbors used so we called him for a consultation. Very experienced and not pushy whatsoever. Zack did an amazing job with the new heater, iPhone control for the pool and spa, as well as new underwater color changing lights...all for a reasonable price. Showed up and finished on time. Doesn't get any better. I highly recommend!! read more

After calling several other local pool companies (based on online and personal referrals), and never getting a call back, we found Bishop Pool Service on Yelp. We called Zack and got a call back the next day. Zack came out to look at our pool -which was basically a swamp since our home was a short sale- and quoted us close to 1/2 of what we had heard pool clean up would cost. He was friendly and easy to work with, and our pool started looking good fast! We would absolutely continue with monthly service with Bishop Pool, but as new homeowners we are trying to DIY as much as possible. I highly recommend Bishop Pool Service! read more

I knew Zach did pool repair and since he had great reviews on Yelp I thought I would give him a call and see if he would work on my above ground spa. Zach said he has, but prefers not to work on spas. Gave me a couple of options for people that do work on spas. Zach talked to me for 10 minutes on the phone, even though he knew he was not going to get my business. In talking through my problem he stated that most often when a spa trips the GFI breaker the heating coil is shorted. Being mechanically inclined I tore into the guts of the spa. When I disconnected the heater, sure enough, the breaker no longer tripped. Ordered the part online and replaced it. The final cost was $40. Thanks to Zach I am sure I saved a few hundred dollars!!! read more

Very quick, thorough and professional response with reasonable pricing. Also along the way he provided some consulting on how to do things better than I originally laid out which was much appreciated. read more

He was quick to the point and got the job done. Also, fixed a couple of small leaks at nominal charge.

Pentair pool pump drive quit working after 7 months and also wanted the mess of equipment boxes again automated into a single box. Zach quickly responded, and was punctual. He listened to what I wanted and his estimate included the possibility of getting the pump drive replacement under warranty. The job was quickly completed, working awesome. Great, honest, curtious service that was bar none the best experience I've had with pool maintenance. read more

Zac is very professional, thorough, and has solved a number of equipment issues we have had during the past year. I know I can text him with questions or concerns and he will get back to me quickly, and stop by if necessary. I highly recommend Zac and Nick at Bishop Pool Service and Repair! read more

I called Zach due to glass breakage in the pool. He said our home was out of his area, but referred me to another pool service closer to where we lived. It didn't stop there. He called the other pool service and explained the problem we have so they would know to expect the call. Sure enough, we called and they are coming out on a Saturday. THANK YOU ZACK read more

I contacted Zach requesting a estimate for installing a variable speed pump and a salt water chlorine system. I was pleasantly surprised at the estimate given compared to my other estimates. Zach was on time and left the project site in perfect condition. The pump and chlorine system are working flawlessly. Thanks Zach for very painless completion to a much needed project. read more

We've been using Bishop Pool Service for 2 years now. They keep the pool sparkling year round and are always helpful. I definitely recommend them to everyone, they know their stuff! read more

I called Zac for my pool floor cleaner that am having issues with and told him what's going on....he was very nice and drove all the way to Lincoln witch is not his service area and took care of the problem. Very knowledgeable and knows a lot. read more

We've had nothing but great service and the pool looks great! Always come when scheduled and always do a great job. Highly recommended!

I had a majority of my pool equipment replaced by Bishop pool service and repair about 8 months ago. We were happy with the initial installation and even did a few additional things because we felt like we were being well taken care of. I have also recommended them to several people on social media because I thought we had found someone good. FASTFORWARD - This week I had some questions about how to program the upgraded control system they installed because I thought the programs had changed. When I got on the phone with Zac he had no idea who I was since he "has seen over a 100 pools since he did ours" he very reluctantly spent less than 5 minutes giving me the information I needed. When I spend several thousand dollars with a company my expectation is that I get a friendly response when I contact them. Obviously, Zac is not interested in maintaining future business or additional referrals, it sounds like he is busy enough. I was going to ask him for a quote to replace the filter, the only piece of equipment I didn't replace last year but I'll find someone else with better customer service. read more

Zach promptly returned my call, gave me a quote and arrived when he said he would. He spent more time than he anticipated, but still charged the quote amount. Friendly and professional, I would make him my first call for pool problems. Thanks Zach! read more

I had Bishop out to replace a control box/panel for my pumps, pool and spa lights. Zac and his employee came out on the appointed day and put in exactly what I was looking for in the way of a basic timer system and manual switches for everything else. His price was fair right up front and they did a great wiring job even protecting some wiring that was from my salt water generator that should have been in conduit. When my 5yr old pump goes I'll be sure to consider them again. read more

I don't typically call a repair service unless I have a personal recommendation from a trusted source.However,after reading all the reviews, I decided to give Zach a call. He was everthing as promised. He took the call himself. Came out promptly. Made the repairs in short order and was completely reasonable with cost! I would tell anyone searching for a great pool repair guy to give him a call! read more

Zac did a great job. Definitely put in some extra hours getting my controls installed and working properly. Plus he was on the phone dealing with the idiots who work for Hayward. Must have the patience of Job! Took some extra time e to help us understand the system and even made some last minute adjustments requested by my wife before he left. His price was reasonable and he wore a 5.11 shirt...Which, as a military man, I appreciated! Great taste! Will definitely turn to Zac in the future. read more
