I recently requested several quotes for the installation of a new pool motor, and out of the four…read morecompanies I contacted, Brett was the first person to call me back. That alone already set him apart. After speaking with me and learning that I'm selling my deceased Aunts house and simply looking for the most cost-effective option, Brett actually recommended that I purchase a motor myself and even sent me the Amazon link. He knew right away that he probably wouldn't be getting the job. I'm also quite a distance away, and if Brett had done the work, he would have installed a higher-quality motor and done it the right way. But this review isn't about getting the job--it's about integrity and customer service. Brett took the time to help, educate, and point me in the right direction even though he knew there was no business in it for him. That kind of honesty and willingness to help is rare these days. I only wish Murdoch Pool Service was closer to me in Escondido because I would absolutely use them for my own pool service. Thank you, Brett, for taking the time to help and for showing what real customer service looks like!

I usually clean my own pool, but needed someone to take over after having knee surgery. I saw a lot…read moreof offers for around $100-$125/month, but thought they can't be any good. So, I found Murdoch Pool Service who was charging $180, but had great reviews. After speaking with owner, Brett, who assured me that they provide a better service than the cheap guys I signed up. After a couple of cleanings, I noticed they were only spending about 10 minutes on my pool and not leaving it "sparkling clean". I spoke with Brett about this and, after looking at the photo his guy took, he argued that he didn't see a problem with the service. I thought OK ...maybe I'm being OCD because I'm used to cleaning my own pool and spending way more than 10 min on it. Then we had strong Santa Ana winds hit and it left quite a mess of leaves, debris, and dirt in my pool. I was looking forward to Murdock coming to the rescue to clean it all up. They spent a little more time than the average 10 minutes and left my pool looking like it still needed to be cleaned. The photos were taken immediately after they left and you can clearly see that they failed to brush the sides, clean out the strainers baskets completely, etc. I'm pretty sure I could have gotten this level of service from the cheap guys. I was expecting to have them help me out for at least 3 months, until I could heal and get back to cleaning the pool myself, but after 2 months I couldn't continue paying a premium price for a sub-standard service. I found myself hopping around the pool on one leg trying to clean up after they left. I would highly suggest you find someone else to clean your pool.

They do our weekly maintenance and also installed a pool heater for us, and both experiences were just seamless. They're efficient, professional, and really nice. Never try to upsell you on stuff you don't need; they just tell you what's actually necessary and get it done. Love that. They come the same time every week, every time. Half the time we don't even know they've been here, which is honestly the dream. Easy to get in touch with, and they have great contacts if you need anything else done too. Just a really well-run company with good people. Highly recommend.

The entire Master Geek Pool and Spa team have been incredible partners for us over the past two…read moreyears. We operate several Airbnb properties in the area with pools and spas, and having a reliable service team is absolutely critical. Master Geek has never disappointed. Their cleanings are consistently thorough, their support is incredibly responsive, and their repair work is always professional and done right. There have been multiple situations where they stepped in quickly and saved us during tight guest turnarounds. Before finding them we went through several other pool services that were unreliable and frankly terrible. Since switching to Master Geek, everything has been smooth and dependable. If you need a pool and spa team that shows up, communicates well, and takes pride in their work, I could not recommend them more highly. They have been one of the best service partners we have for our properties.

Okay so I am always suspicious of all 5 star reviews on Yelp but Taylor Made Pools deserves every…read moreone of those star and more! First, Allen Taylor is a real pool expert and a genuinely nice, honest person. He is exactly the kind of man I love doing business with. When my pool tiles starting dropping off the wall and into the pool Allen came out quickly, assessed the problem and gave me a very reasonable price and timeline for the repair. His crew is the most hardworking team of nice, clean, punctual professionals I have seen. They are real perfectionists. They had the work done in two days and everything looked beautiful! I plan to use taylor Made for any and all of my pool repair needs. He is the real deal. Do not hesitate to use him. Thank you Allen and staff!!!

Allen and his team put so much heart and dedication into making our dream pool. The original price quote to the finalization was very close matching, Allen is honest and trustworthy, without adding extra costs. The dig to the time it was finished went fast and shows how Allen and his team are hardworking. The 3D image that Allen originally showed us matched the pool we are looking at today. Today it is finally completed and it exceeds our expectations and dreams. Stacey was always helpful in guiding the process to start and get the permit completed. Allen and his other workers, specifically Ryan are honestly so kind and helpful. They went out of their way to do things they didn't even have to do. This company not only does exceptional work, but are caring people. The pictures do not even show the true beauty. I will recommend Taylor-Made Pools to anyone looking. Do yourself a favor and go with this company.

I knew Nick was different right off the bat. Of all the people I reached out to, he was the only…read moreone that tried to help first, instead of just throwing a Service Fee at me. He did his best to troubleshoot over the phone, but once I hit a road block, I just asked him to come out to fix it. He was prompt with scheduling, and got me in the same week. He even offered to come out sooner but I couldn't because of work. I was having issues with an error code the hot tub was giving, and Nick was able to pinpoint it to one of two errors while troubleshooting. He tried the cheaper fix before going into the big fix and luckily for me, it worked! I was very pleased with his prompt service, professionalism, and extensive knowledge and experience in his field. The cost was still low due to his diligence, and now I have my Jacuzzi back!

They schedule a service tech on a particular day each week. They test, add chemicals, skim pool, clean baskets and tiles, brush, and even vacuum.

Super chill, hard working, and I love that he latches our gate softly when exiting (takes care of our property). Communication is great. We had a small leak in our tank. I emailed the office and Giana coordinated the fix. Awesome service! Yes, they have dedicated repair staff too. I wish I would have found this team years ago.
