Tyler made great suggestions on where to place the heater as well as moving some other equipment as well. We switched to Elite for pool maintenance after the heater install because we found Elite very easy to work with and conscientious. Lastly, we just had a pool update that included a new liner, replacing white metal edging with cobblestone and repair of cracks, addition of drain for deck, Cool Deck application and painting. Tyler and Joe worked together to give us an end product we love. Their attention to detail and willingness to please is beyond most any work by contractors on our home projects. We highly recommend Elite.

We ordered a hot tub cover that took awhile to get delivered. Could be from Hurricane Helene. That was ok with us. But then we needed a new Hot Tub Lift because ours was rusted out. We bought and paid for a new Hot Tub Cover Lift. The day they were supposed install, they left a phone message saying, it would be delayed. No problem. HOWEVER, Chris called on the 20th of Feb saying he would be there on the 21st at 0800-0900. He showed up at 0830 and said he would be done in 20 minutes. We went out just to see the new lift kit after he left without saying a word, and found that he only replaced one part of it and used the OLD parts of it. Plus he left his trash outside and did not take the old lift. WE PAID FOR A TOTAL NEW LIFT KIT!!!!! We called Pete Atlewine, confirmed it by them that we paid for a new kit.Chris called us back and said the sometimes they use parts from other kits to replace (????). What, was he saying they don't buy new parts and use refurbished ones??? Chris said he would call us back in a few to get it straightened out. Chris did say "well if you want me to replace it I will." We told him we paid for a NEW one WE wanted a NEW one. What was he hiding???? NEVER HEARD back from him. Never hear heard back from Pete Atlewine either even after a phone call. We FINALLY called at 2:00pm to see where we were at and had to leave a message. Service only took messages as they were busy. We are so disappointed in Pete Atlewine's service when it came to this lift kit. Chris came to our house mad to install it the evening, slamming things on top of hot tub cover, with a chip on his chip his shoulder and truly we know this is not the company for us. So disappointed. We have been with Pete Atlewine for years and the service has just flopped. Sad. Then when he was done with everything, replacing lift kit, he said he was sorry, but still left with an attitude, again chip on his shoulder. PLEASE PETE YOU CAN DO BETTER.

We have had several issues over the years with Pete Alewine Pools and especially the Service…read moreManager Charles. His behavior and customer service attitude is by far the worst we have ever delt with. One of the biggest issues with Pete Alewine Pools was in January 2024 when we received a $2,000 water bill. We had previously spoken with the pool technician and gave him permission to add water to pool since it naturally evaporates and cleaning could also drain water. He assured us he would turn the water off when done. When we got the water bill I did research with the water department and they pinpointed the date and time the water was turned on (and turned off). I called Charles and spoke to him about issue as the only people at house would have been the pool technician. Charles of course stated it was not his technician and completely refused to take any responsibility. Since we had no proof, we dropped the issue and worked out an agreement with the water department. It still cost us over $1500. The next issue was when we were told we had to replace our sand filter with the new cartridge type. This would have cost over $3,000. We declined. Next issue was yesterday. Due to us not being home and lack of ability to add water to pool the pool water is below the scupper. I called Charles at Pete Aelwine and he told me the valves had been adjusted to internally circulate the water without going through scupper intake. Due to this and low water, our buyer immediately thought there was a huge leak in the pool. After a leak test it was determined that the pool had no major leaks and there was a very very small leak in a grout line on the decorative tile at top of pool. It was determined this could have been caused by allowing calcium buildup and then scraping with wire pool brush and grout coming out. This issue was not huge and we shrugged it off. However, when the agent and buyer attempted to turn on the pool/spa heater it did not work. I was FaceTimed and asked if water was running through the heater. The agent and buyer could not tell. I called Charles and asked to send someone out to look at it. I was told there would be a service charge. On Wednesday, the technician (Dustin I think) came out to look at it. I do not know what he did, but he told both the agent and buyer that the heater was bad and needed to be replaced. He not only quoted $5,000 he also to the buyer that the heater was obsolete and discontinued. As one could imagine, this created a huge problem with the buyer and could have possibly caused us to lose the sale of our home. (We still do not know if this can be rectified due to the Pete Alewine technician saying the heater was obsolete and discontinued.) Today I spoke with the leak technician and asked about the pool heater. He informed me that he was curious about it himself as the heater was the "MOST POPULAR AND COMMON HEATER AROUND". It was covered by our deck and out of direct sunlight and wind. He took it upon himself to readjust the valves and miraculously the heater came on and started to heat the water. He explained to me that there are flow meters and if the system does not have enough water flowing into it then it will not work. Hence my asking the agent and buyer if they saw water flowing through it. I am now told our heater works completely fine and does not have to be replaced. We are currently not living at house and rely on your help and service to maintain our pool. We believed we could trust Pete Alewine. Unfortunately, it seems our trust may have been unfounded. What is extremely troubling out of all of this is the following: I called Pete Alewine to discuss this last issue with the pool heater. I also had videos of the pool showing white particles on the bottom, which clearly showed the pool had not been cleaned in a while. I used to get text messages or emails telling me when the technician was at the home cleaning the pool and when he left. I no longer receive them. I got in touch with the GA office and spoke with someone there who told me to send an email with the videos and explain what happened. I did exactly what she told me to do. I got a call from Charles a few hours later and he was very upset on the phone. He told me they did not break my heater (no one claimed they did) and that he had spoken with the owner Mr. Alewine and they now have decided to remove me as a customer and no longer service my pool. WOW!!!! Once again Charles's customer service and attitude is below anything we have ever seen from what we thought was a reputable company. Not only will they try to rip you off on your service and repairs, if you catch them at it, they then fire you and no longer want to service your pool. I would never recommend them to anyone.

I was "dropped" by my previous service when they told me they no longer service my area. Funny how I see "America's Best Pool Service" trucks in my neighborhood. I am particular about my pool remaining clean, and America's Best, in my opinion, does not live up to their name. Babinec's Pool Service, however, keeps my pool and deck pristine, for almost $50.00 a month less than the other services I called. They also don't charge extra for chemicals on every visit the way that " Pete Alewine" pool service does; or extra for "special" chemicals the way that America's Best" does. Doing business with a local company, not a national chain, makes me feel happy about supporting my community. Try Babinec's Pool Service for yourself. You will never vacuum your pool again.
