Recently bought a home in Temple Texas and to my dismay it came with a pool! The pool was old and…read moreI knew that it would need to be re-plastered at a minimum but less than a year later, yeah, I was upset. Anyhow, the wife and I did what all people do and got multiple quotes and estimates for work that needed to be done.
I'm not here to mention any other company but Brother's Pools! Chris was amazing, of all the companies we had contacted he was the only one to show up within 48 hours (at the house), took his time looking at the condition of the pool (inside the pool and pool house), spent over an hour explaining what needed to be done (minimum... and to the wife) and what should be done. The next day he submitted a quote/contract to my wife and I which broke down every expense, while still being completely reasonable. I say this because we had a few contractor come over, they spent less than 10 minutes on site and gave us a verbal quote. They didn't get in the pool, look at the filtration system, nope, just said it was the busy season and told us it would not be done until the end of July or beginning of August. That said, my wife still wanted more quotes! Chris was patient and didn't bother us, in fact, when I called him I was a little embarrassed that it took us a month to get back to him. Need less to say, Chris was gracious, asked what else we wanted done and made yet another trip out to the house!
We signed a plain English contract that stated specifically the work to be performed. Three days after the contract was signed, Chris had a crew chipping out the plaster, then two days after that, had a guy replace all the plumbing, minor electrical, and the Mastic. Another couple of days passed when Chris called and asked politely if he could have his crew out to the house in the morning to begin plastering. At this point my wife was blown away because he was doing exactly what he said he would/could do, faster and more efficient than anyone else we received a quote from! After the plaster was completed, Chris came out to inspect, just as he had done for each phase of the operation. He personally, acid washed the pool and went through the filling process. Wait, there's more, he brought and applied all start up chemicals when the pool was full, brought new pool equipment (brush, net, pole..etc), and walked us through the filtration system again. There were no hidden fees, the dollar amount on the contract was exactly what we paid! The only additional expense I had was the Step Tile my wife purchased, which Chris installed for free while the guys were plastering.
I've probably rambled on long enough about this company, but I cannot pay them enough compliments; these people are professional, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and they truly streamline the process!
For this reason I give Chris at Brothers Pools my highest recommendation without any reservations. Thanks for reading, if you are in the market for any kind of pool service, give these guys a call, you can thank me later for it!
