The technician was at our home for less than 30 minutes. He vacuumed the pool briefly, treated the water, and then informed us that his pool vacuum had stopped working. When he left, the water actually appeared greener than it had before he started. There was no effort to remain and monitor the treatment or ensure the pool was improving. When we asked whether the pool would clear up, we never received a direct answer. Afterward, we communicated through Yelp regarding the pool's progress. We were repeatedly told that we had a phosphate issue and should have the water tested. However, we hired them a professional specifically to diagnose and treat the pool, so we expected water testing and guidance to be part of the service we paid for. The technician also stated that he would return to vacuum the pool again if we were not satisfied. That follow-up was necessary because the leaves and debris on the bottom of the pool were never completely removed during the initial visit due to his equipment failure. He communicated he would be there sometime the upcoming week no definitive day and time. (Red Flag) Unfortunately, he never contacted us again to schedule that return visit, nor did he follow up to check on the pool's condition. In the end, we purchased our own chemicals and successfully eliminated the algae ourselves. We then hired another pool company to finish the job. They scrubbed the pool walls, vacuumed the entire pool, tested and balanced the water, provided us with a detailed water test report, and left us with a crystal-clear blue pool before leaving our property. They also gave us instructions for maintaining the pool ourselves or using their services in the future. That level of service is what we expected when we hired Dot's Pool Service. Our disappointment was not just with the results, but also with the lack of follow-up, communication, and accountability. We genuinely wanted to support a small business and had high hopes, but our experience was very different. Clear communication, reliability, and standing behind your work are essential in any business. Based on our experience, we cannot recommend Dot's Pool Service and would encourage others to consider other options.

Be careful with this company…read more We switched to EVO Pools a few years ago because we needed a reliable pool service to open and close our pool. They are a local company as well and seemed reasonable the first year. Last summer, we had them open and clean the pool. They showed on time and communicated arrival. When they arrived, many of the workers (while friendly) don't speak English and so there are a few language barriers during the process. Many times the workers will just instruct to call the office to discuss any questions or next steps. So, asking them about their process or what should expect is futile. A day after they left, the pool was not clean (debris at the bottom and algae on the walls). I called and emailed and the response was that it may take a few times to clean the pool for it to be truly clean. And they would come back "for a charge" to clean it again. What?? And honestly, if I didn't pay A LOT of money to open, I wouldn't have been that upset. So, I simply remembered that I would need to add a cleaning next year and worked to get the pool clean on my own. We used them again this summer, but this time I ordered a cleaning with the opening (as a separate item to which they charged me an hourly rate). The pool reps came (same workers) opened the pool and cleaned it. They let us know that someone would be back for the full cleaning a day later. GREAT! They came back a day later (I was charged 1.5 hours) and cleaned the pool. When they left that day, there was still algae and other sediments in the pool. My husband and I thought this would be cleaned by our filter, expecting that the walls and floor were scrubbed and this is what caused the cloudiness in the water. Two days later when the water cleared, there was still algae on the walls, floors, and around the lights. I reached out to express my concern and the response was "it may take more than a few cleanings" and they were happy to come back out and CHARGE ME AGAIN!!!! It was clear that the work/scrubbing of the pool walls, around the lights, in the creases of the stairs, etc wasn't done at the cleaning. We will never use EVO again. I give them 2 stars for communication because they do quickly respond and especially quick to tell me that they would happily come out and fix the issue at MY expense. And if you have money to burn, you could just have them come out 20 times to clean your pool until it's done and ready for the summer!!

This is my first pool, so I've been leaning as I go, and I had to trust what I was being told originally. I felt like I spent a lot of money and wasted a lot of time for very little, and their lack of communication was dangerous. I bought a new pool cover from them, which I knew I needed. They installed it, but didn't bother to tell me that they hadn't finished anchoring it because they needed to install some new anchors. I let my dogs out thinking it was secure since they had left without communicating otherwise. My foster puppy ran right across the area that wasn't anchored and easily could have fallen in, gotten trapped, and drown. Thankfully, she jumped off of it right as that anchored corner gave I also had them install a new filter, and they failed to tell me that they hadn't reconnected a pipe after installing it. This resulted in water spraying everywhere in my garage after turning my filter on the first time. Generally speaking when I contacted Matt, he was responsive, but his team repeatedly failed to communicate important information.

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! BUYER BEWARE…read moreBEFORE I BEGIN HOW DO I GIVE LESS THAN ZERO STARS?? Where do I begin? The Owner kyle elam and the manager kevin (he wouldn't give me his last name) were rude, condescending and downright disrespectful. The reviews here don't lie and are spot on. I read all the negative reviews but still (by my own terrible judgement) decided to give Colony pools a chance. Why you ask? Because I like to support small local businesses and support them. BIG MISTAKE! When I found out through email that they couldn't keep their scheduled service appointment I called in to verify when they would be able to reschedule. Kevin was aggravated and annoyed that I call and literally said "how many "expletive" (he used the F word) questions do you have? He then hung up on me. I have never been treated so poorly as a paying customer in my life. I honestly hope this review doesn't fall on deaf ears and I am available to answer any questions anyone may have. I don't want to get into how it continued as it really makes me feel really low and upset that I even gave them the opportunity to make right on the bad reviews they have. The owner kylie elom apparently inherited this business from his daddy and obviously doesn't understand what it takes to run a successful business. As he continues this napolionistic and cavalier attitude his gift from his daddy will eventually collapse. He never had to work hard and build a successful business or his reputation so it's easy for him to throw away something he didn't earn. I can go on for pages but had to cut it short so any questions please feel free to reach out to my cell phone at 917-335-6662. Pool companies come a dime a dozen and colony definitely is not doing anything to remain competitive.

I want to begin by saying that a pool service is only as good as the employees that do the service…read more I was not very pleased with the techs that came to my pool. I operate a VRBO and I need unattended service. I'm not there to put the pool cover away, or to make chemical adds between service visits. When I visited the property a couple of months after Colony opened the pool for me, I found the pool cover lying by the side of the pool and not put away (as agreed) and the salt level was not maintained. The skimmer basket and drain covers and other hardware was not in place. The auto leveling equipment was improperly installed and leaked like crazy. I found there was a leak in the pump basket housing and during the diagnosis, the suction side valve was closed and NOT opened afterward causing the pump to overheat the PVC making an even bigger leak. This was fixed and I was billed for the repair (subsequently credited). The pump was disabled to stop the leak and not returned to service after the repair through the rest of the summer. I asked for photos of the repair and it wasn't until after multiple reminders and multiple promises over 6 weeks, that I got photos. When I brought these shortcomings to the management, I was told that there was nothing wrong because the pool isn't green. Further, I was told I was "micromanaging" and "bad-mouthing". I view communicating issues as opportunities for improvement. I'll leave it to the reader's opinion whether these issues should be overlooked by the homeowner or communicated to others.
