I initially contacted them for a pool cleaning service and was quoted a price of $120. However,…read moreupon arriving at my property, the price increased to $200, claiming there had been a price change. I found this unreasonable and questioned the significant increase, but no valid explanation was provided. This is very highly unprofessional and exploitative, particularly after a price had already been agreed upon. Additionally, I had a broken water filter that required replacement, for which I was charged nearly three times the reasonable cost. This practice raises serious concerns about the company's business ethics. Exploiting customers is not a sustainable way to grow a business. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend this service. It appears that pricing is very inconsistent and possibly based on profiling customers, which is unacceptable. To this day, I still cannot justify how a quoted price of $120 increased to $200 within just a few days. They still have the price as $120 per visit on their page - isn't that deceptive!

He was hired to clean a cloudy pool and spent an hour or less in two days doing absolutely nothing. He kept trying to push for the weekly maintenance but why would we hire someone that already has proven to be incompetent.

I wouldn't recommend him to my worst enemy. Hopefully this asshole chokes on the $150.

There is no other pool company around that is as professional and friendly as Cada Pools. I have never known anyone more knowledgeable regarding water chemistry and the products they carry. Not to mention the service guys are very knowledgeable and get the job done right. If you have a pool and don't go to Cada, then you're doing something wrong. They literally take care of all the guesswork of owning a pool and treat you like family. If you need something and they don't have it, then they get it for you in a timely manner and help you out with it. As long as I own a pool, I will be a frequent flier at Cada Pools and Spas.

I am highly disappointed with the opening service from Cada Pools and Spas…read more Their technician filled my hot tub and added chemicals directly over winter dirt and buildup. Unsurprisingly, the water became cloudy and dirty immediately after startup. When I drained it to see why the "fresh" water looked so bad, I found extensive filth left underneath. If a spa is too dirty to be filled, a professional company should pause, communicate, and offer a cleaning service--not just rush the job and waste expensive chemicals. Worse than the poor service was the management's defensive response (see attached text screenshot). When I reached out, Chryste entirely shifted the blame onto me for draining the dirty water. When I escalated to the manager, he sent me a photo taken by his techs to "prove" they did a standard opening (attached). Ironically, their own photo shows a technician standing directly inside the uncleaned tub shell in outdoor work boots, with visible grime and residue left on the contours right before they filled it. The manager tried to claim the dirt happened in the week after they left, completely ignoring that they filled a tub full of winter sludge and their own photo proves it. When I noted that mistakes happen and this was an easy fix, I was told I would have to pay them all over again. They hide behind "à la carte" contracts instead of exercising basic professional judgment or accountability. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend this business

Unprofessional and Unaccountable- A Frustrating Experience…read moreI'm sharing this to help others make an informed decision before hiring Epic Escapes in Saint Charles. They originally built the pool at the home I purchased and also handled the pool closing for the previous owner. Unfortunately, when I had the pool opened by another company this spring, it was discovered that the spa had not been properly winterized-the spa wasn't plugged-which led to a cracked valve and expensive repairs. I contacted Epic Escapes to ask if they stood behind their work, but they denied responsibility and never returned my calls. Hoping for a resolution, I went to their office and spoke with Donna. I calmly explained the situation and even offered to cover the cost of parts if they would help fix the issue. Donna said she would speak with the owner and get back to me, but I never heard from them again. It's incredibly frustrating to deal with a company that built the pool and closed it, yet refuses to take any accountability or even return a phone call. If they had simply provided a reasonable solution, they could have gained a loyal, long-term customer. Instead, I was left with a poor impression and a very negative experience. I would not recommend Epic Escapes based on the way this was handled.

My low rating is not a reflection of his work, but rather the lack of transparency in the pricing and communication I experienced. My concern began when two gaskets were replaced without my authorization or even a notification. I was informed only after the job was completed, and then charged $175 for the two gaskets, which can be purchased online for about $5 each. When I reached out to Robert, the owner, his response was that he once paid $875 for a headlight that cost $27 wholesale, an example that didn't address the issue and only reinforced my concern about unreasonable markups. Surprising customers with undisclosed parts and charges does not feel like good business. Before the appointment, we had agreed that since I already had the part they initially diagnosed as the problem, I would only be charged their hourly rate. What wasn't disclosed upfront was that the rate is $100 per hour. I was prepared to pay that once I learned it, but when I received a $375 bill for roughly two hours of work, I requested a breakdown. Only then did I learn about the added $175 for the two unapproved gaskets. The situation left me feeling like this was a bait‑and‑switch, especially since they were unable to charge me for the part I already provided. What makes this especially disappointing is that my first experience with this company about seven years ago was outstanding. At that time, Robert went above and beyond during the middle of winter, and I've recommended this company to others based on that great service. Unfortunately, something has changed, and this recent experience fell far short of the transparency and fairness I expected. My hope is that this review helps future customers who value clear communication and upfront pricing.

We spoke with Todd first and he was honest and knowledgeable throughout our selection process. He was never pushy, and we appreciated his honesty about which features would be good choices for us and which we could do without. Our project started in late fall and the crew worked incredibly hard to get the bulk of the work done before the winter. Even though the crew was rushing to beat the weather, we were amazed at their precision and the attention to detail they showed. Tom, the owner of the company, was onsite the whole time working hard and attending to many details like making sure that that the pool was completely level! Erich has exceeded our expectations regarding the opening of the pool, training us to take care of the pool, and making sure that our first pool season is problem free. We opted to use the landscape company that Signature recommended, Countywide Landscape, and we are very glad that we chose a landscape company that works so well with Signature. We highly recommend Signature Pools for a company with integrity and high standards of excellence. By the way, we chose the Ultimate 40 pool and absolutely love it!
