I initially contacted Mark while shopping around for above-ground pool installation and was…read moreimpressed by how quickly he responded and answered all my questions. He came out for a quote and seemed professional at first. But on installation day, I was surprised to learn he had subcontracted the job to someone else, a contractor who was rude, unprofessional, and canceled because of light morning rain, even though the forecast cleared up by 9 a.m. Mark agreed with their decision and told me to call someone named Carlos, who could "get me in ASAP." I was confused why was I calling anyone else when I had hired him to do the job? We took time out of work to be home and based on the forecast for that day I found it ridiculous! I get if there is going to be chances of heavy rain then obviously a pool install should be cancelled but it was literally dry the ENTIRE DAY after 9 am and the ground was hardly wet where I live! When I questioned it, Mark told me he doesn't make money on the installs and just passes the work off to other contractors. He said he had "no time for me." I was never told the job would be subcontracted, even though the permit was pulled under his company's name. In the end, I can't recommend him due to the lack of honesty and professionalism. Fortunately, the second crew (despite bad reviews) showed up as promised, worked through the extreme heat, and did a great job!

Where do I start, so Matt Colace has closed my pool for 2 years now, maybe three. I have owned it…read morefor 14 years, and only time my pool was green is when Matt closed it. I asked about it and got some made up reason. So, I dealt with it, allot of work, allot of chemicals and money. But this past year, unlike the last 14 years, Matt did not put my pool cover on correctly and the cover tore. Need to lace cable thru some heavy vinyl straps to attach to a wall, he did it other years, not this year. Again he said he didn't have to do it, but did it last year. I open the pool. In addition the pool was lowered several feet, he said he did not do that either, although I know he left and was trying to do several pools at once. He could have just did the right thing and paid to have the cover sewed together. I thought this was bad, as he was quite combative with me. So when I opened the pool, the chlorinator did not work, I knew salt very low because I added three feet of water. But then I looked down and saw a cut wire going to the salt cell, I have pictures, and thought wow this next level. Was it out of just anger, or is this how he gets repeat business? So when my wife and son were splicing the wire together, my son looks on the ground and see a two inch piece of that wire on the ground that was obviously cut out. I have the wire and pictures. This has gotten out of hand, I gave him a chance to fix this spring, wouldn't call me just text. So now also my liner is pulled down in two separate locations, due to the pool being lowered too far. The initial problem of the green pool is probably because he does not put enough chlorine in it to close, same as the reason why he was rushing around between pools. He had asked me if I wanted to pay "cash" so to make little more money for himself he used less chemicals, rushed around draining my pool too much, and did not take the time to put cover on correctly. I assume the cash only option was for his pocket and to avoid paying franchise fees and taxes. Less chemicals means more profit, I put 6 gallons of chlorine in and took 10 days to clear it up. So that's about it, love to hear from you guys. Judging by his temper on such a small matter as sewing the cover, please inform me before you talk to him on this as an unscheduled visit to my house from him in a rage would not surprise me. Thankyou ( Sent to Pool Pals no response) Maybe it is me did not see how to attach pics

New England Spas and Hot Tubs…read more NE Spas had an incredibly knowledgeable service department that went over and above to support a buyer who didn't acquire the highest end tub AND lives on a island! This issue arose because I chose to plug in my tub (how hard could it be) because hiring an electrician to come to an island by boat is difficult. Turns out, an electrician would have known to clamp the main power cord. Pulling on it over time ended up shorting out the circuit board. That's when the fun began. NESpas made sure to order the right replacement board, put me on a group chat and walked me through the installation. I clamped the power cord and it's operated flawlessly ever since. Don't go anywhere else!

The next day I received a call…read morefrom the service department, and they explained in order for me to get on their schedule I'd have to pay a deposit of $329. Although it seems like a lot of money, I understand the reasons behind collecting a deposit (customers unexpectedly cancelling appointments, technician time to travel and diagnose issues, etc.). I paid the deposit and we confirmed the next available appointment was 3/20/25. On 3/14/25 I got an email (no phone call) telling me "Due to unforeseen circumstances we will not be able to complete your spa service on 3/20/25. Instead, we will be there 3/25/25". I was so frustrated and disappointed they had picked a new date without discussing it with me and that it was 5 days later. I discussed the issue with the service department, they apologized and said that was the earliest date. There was nothing more they could do. On 3/25/25, the day of my appointment, I get a voice message that said they needed to cancel the appointment and reschedule for 3/26/25. Because I have a fenced in yard with dogs I took the day off of work to be here. I'm beyond frustrated with NE Spas. Conveniently they took my money in less than 24hours but they have no problem rescheduling my appointments for 16 days. By the way their policy is no monetary refunds just store credit. So that's not even an option. I feel trapped because they have my money and left me no other option but to accept their dates.

Alex was very responsive and clear about the schedule, especially during this time with quarantine and pool season. He was able to fit us in the schedule somehow. Manny (contractor) came to inspect and next week 2 workers came and work all day with removing debris, cutting stones, measuring and keeping the work area clean as promised. Unfortunately the stone to cut was near the skimmer and they took their time to be careful to not damage it. I was very grateful . Next day, we realized we didn't have enough of the tiles to replace. They sat and took off the cement off the old tiles so we can reused them. I am amazed. They made it worked. The last day was mostly cement and grout. The workers were very respectful and worked really hard. And the work was amazing. Next day Manny and Alex came over to clean the pool as promised so we can use it after the cement dries. My only suggestion to Alex to explain to customers that the workers are contracted employees and if they do not show on time or at all, to call Alex right away. And to at least call ahead before showing up. Our experience was great and looking forward to working with them again.
