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.
