The owner Stephen Dugas exceeded my expectations, offering good solid advice and provided a delivery to my home at no charge. He was experienced and prepared for the delivery up twenty-two steps on stone stairs, plus another set of stairs thru the porch, thru the home to carefully place it at the exact location on the second floor directly in front of the fireplace for the installer. Weighing almost 400 pounds I could not have done it on my own. Buy local and trust Stephen he will take good care of you! I will be a repeat customer for another one in the basement, in the future.

I contacted Steve and he reluctantly removed the motor and took it back to the store where he said he replaced the bearings. It made no difference. His last attempt to fix the problem was to tap the motor with a hammer. He has never returned since. To this day, now 3 years later, I still have a squealing stove. I have never heard from Steve again. Steve was absolutely no help at all. I spent a lot of money and got extremely poor service. Steve made his money and I was on my own. They are not a company you want to deal with. To be treated as if you are a burden to him is disgusting. He never followed up and more importantly never fixed the problem. He just couldn't be bothered.

My experience with Pool Source has honestly been the worst service experience of my life. We…read moredecided at the end of summer 2020 to install a pool. My husband and I don't make a ton of money, but we clip coupons and shop secondhand and do our best to put away any extra for us to buy special things for our family. Usually we spend our savings on travel, to visit my family or take a weekend vacation. Because of COVID, our travel money was going unspent, so we decided to take the plunge and buy a pool. Pool Source had been very highly-rated. We researched reviews, and looked into the type of pools they sell, the Radiant brand. We stopped by Pool Source one weekend, and spoke to a sales rep who gave us a catalog and took us outside to show us the pools and talk about the liner. We said we would take the information home, make a decision, and follow up later. We felt very comfortable that we were making the right decision, and our money would be well-spent. I went by myself to actually order the pool, and this is when my comfort level started to drop. At this point they made it clear they don't help with installations of above ground pools, but it would be fine. They used an outside contractor all the time who would take care of everything. I paid a $1000 deposit. The salesperson told me the pool would arrive in 8-10 weeks, some delay because of COVID...understandable, and that I could get the pool in for a spring install. Perfect! We called the contractor and he was very nice, came to look at our space, and said we needed a map of the septic system. I went to the town right away to get it and sent it to him along with the specs for the pool and a copy of the building permit application. Then nothing. The contractor stopped responding and his voicemail said the number was out of service. I went back to Pool Source and asked if they could suggest another contractor. They said theirs was the ONLY one who could do it. Finally, Pool Source got in touch with him. He had shut down for the winter with no notice. Also fine, we would follow-up in spring. I reached back out to the contractor in spring to see if we could set a date. Pool Source asked for the permit, and I sent him the application. They said they needed the actual permit, which needs to be filled out by the contractor...who wasn't answering calls or emails. I tried to fill it out myself, but I didn't understand all of the information, and it required a contractor license. I spoke to the Town and they said the contractor usually fills it out. I asked Pool Source for help, and they wouldn't help me either. Then I find out they had never actually ordered the pool. They needed the permit to do that, which hadn't been expressed when I ordered it, and no one would help me with the permit. But Pool Source said, "if you can't get the permit, then we won't make you pay the balance of the pool." But what about my $1000 deposit? That may not be a lot of money to someone, but I save for weeks to get that much. At this point, I felt like I had been robbed of $1000. I passed the management of the pool install onto my husband, because it was making me sick with worry and anxiety, and I wondered if maybe they were giving me the run around because I am a woman. I was at the point if someone said the word, "pool," to me, I got a knot in my throat. What was supposed to be a fun gift for my family, turned into a source of depression and regret. After months of back and forth emails, (my husband kept them all), we finally got Pool Source to help us with the permit. Why they couldn't before, I don't know. Continued delays on their part now put our pool delivery into July...then August. A year after I had initially purchased it. We gave up on their contractor and found our own. We had everything in place to install except for the pool. Then they scheduled delivery for mid-August. We were hopeful we would get a few weeks of swimming in before season ended, and then on delivery day, they ripped the liner. They would have to re-order and it would be another 8-10 weeks. It will be two years before we get to enjoy our pool, and I won't even enjoy it. I am so disheartened by my purchase and I feel like a fool for being duped. It pains me that I had to give-up my hard-earned savings to these people. Looking back at positive reviews, I see all of the 5-star reviews are from people who got in-ground pools, so I believe the only way to get good service from them is to spend a certain dollar threshold that we just don't have. So if you're like us, and just want a simple above ground pool, please go somewhere else. ANYWHERE else. Because Pool Source doesn't want your business and they don't deserve it. Please also feel free to contact me directly for the contractors we found on our own because they were amazing. I want you to have a better pool experience than I did.

Outstanding Experience with Mackillop Home Services LLC…read more Recently, I needed my pool assessed to see if it had to be completely replaced or if I could get away with just replacing the liner. The old liner had leaked and some of the sidewalls were bent--but not severely. I called another pool company to come take a look and give me their professional opinion. Over the phone, they told me flat-out that if the walls were bent--even a little--the entire pool had to be replaced. They refused to come look at it in person and quoted me around $7,000 total ($5,000 labor plus parts). Yikes! Then I saw an ad for Mackillop Home Services LLC and decided to reach out. I messaged Matt, and he called me back the next day. I explained the situation, and unlike the first company, he agreed to come check it out in person. After looking it over, Matt said the pool absolutely did not need to be replaced. He said we could simply straighten the bent walls and install a new liner--all for about $600, parts and labor included. Huge relief, and thousands of dollars saved! Matt was polite, punctual, and great at communicating every step of the way. We now have a brand new liner, no leaks, and are back to swimming with zero issues. If you're looking for honest, skilled, and reasonably priced pool service, look no further than Mackillop Home Services. Matt did an amazing job at a great price. 5-star service--highly recommended! I'll never call that "other" pool company again.
