    We have had Ty at Sunset Pools as our "pool guy" since we moved to Columbia this summer. He is…read morecourteous, reliable and exceptionally pleasant at all times.

    They have not even finished the complete service but they already have turned complete green water…read moreto crystal clear. The company is top notch and you pay for each service as done . We will definitely continue to use them. Thumbs up to all the crew.

    I would not recommend this company…read more We used this company for multiple paid pool-service visits after the husband/owner initially told us our pool was in good condition and recommended a pool robot and maintenance. Unfortunately, the service and communication afterward were extremely disappointing. After a May visit, our pool turned green the next day. They later added chemicals, but the pool stayed hazy and the issue never seemed fully resolved. We paid for multiple services but did not receive clear service reports showing the technician, work completed, chemicals/salt added, or a plan to correct the ongoing issues. There was also an incident while we were out of town where their pool maintenance person turned on our water hose at the pool without notifying us. We have a recording showing this. No report was provided. When my husband questioned a paid visit because the pool looked unchanged, the owner's response became hostile. Before I had ever spoken with her, she texted my husband referring to us as "you people" and calling us "horrible and disgusting people." She later told us to "find another company," accused us of treating them "like crap," called us "HORRIBLE people" and "disgusting humans," and blocked us. Update: After this review, the owner came to my home uninvited within about 15 minutes regarding a disputed bill. My home camera footage shows her standing at my window and recording inside while my 1-year-old was being changed by my nanny. She continued after being asked to stop/step away. During the same visit, footage also shows her striking/pushing a car mirror in my driveway with her hand. After we sent a no-contact message stating that any billing dispute should go through proper legal channels, the company contacted us again and threatened to put a lien on our home. This review is based on my firsthand experience, text messages, invoices, timestamps, and preserved footage. I would not hire this company again. Response to owner: The owner has also tried to minimize the service history by claiming they only came once monthly or that we were not real customers. That is not accurate based on our text history, scheduled visits, invoices, and payments. We requested and paid for multiple services over several months, including visits in May. Whether they considered us "regular service" or "one-time cleaning" customers, they accepted the work, came to the property, performed services, and billed us. My issue is that those visits were not clearly documented, the pool issues were not properly resolved, and when we questioned the service, we were insulted and treated unprofessionally. RESPONSE TO OWNER: The owner publicly claimed I have a "track record of giving small businesses 1-star reviews." That is not accurate. My Yelp profile shows only two total reviews, including a 5-star review from TWELVE YEARS ago and this review. I am documenting this because the business appears to be trying to discredit my review instead of addressing the actual service issues, messages, billing dispute, and conduct described in my firsthand experience. CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE OWNERS RESPONSE AT 10:10 PM: The owner's response focuses heavily on whether we were "regular clients," but that does not address my actual complaint. My complaint is not that we had weekly maintenance. My complaint is that we paid this company for multiple pool-service visits, received limited/no clear service reports, had inconsistent communication, and were treated unprofessionally when we questioned the service and billing. Our records show multiple invoices, multiple scheduled visits, and automated service notifications stating they were on the way to our property and that the pool had been serviced. Their own messages also acknowledge that our pool was mixed up with another customer's pool/list, that chemicals and salt were added, and that the amount was corrected because the $800 quote applied to a different pool. The first clear discussion I have in writing about biweekly maintenance/pricing came later, after we had already used them for multiple services. We also asked for their recommendation on future maintenance and asked about weekly pricing with chemicals included, but that question was not clearly answered before we were told to find another company. Whether they considered us "regular maintenance" customers or "one-time cleaning" customers, they accepted the work, came to the property, performed services, invoiced us, and communicated with us over several months. I stand by my review because it is based on my firsthand experience, invoices, text messages, service notifications, photos, and preserved documentation.

    I usually give average reviews and never poor ones. But I am so upset with Pete Atlewine and their…read moreemployee, Chris AND service in general. 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.
