He also recently saved my sanity when an electric surge took out our home's electrical panel ($2k), both our HVAC systems ($30k !), and our pool's control hub right before a major heat wave hit. John was able to take a look at the pool the next day and determined that, yes, it was most definitely fried BUT he rewired the pump so that it can be controlled manually for the rest of the season and we could punt the approximate $2k replacement cost to next year, if needed. John told me, "I got your pool working and clean so you can spend the weekend floating and drinking margaritas to try and forget about all the shit." John is a goddamn hero.

After listening to our ideas, he offered many suggestions that we hadn't even considered. Greg was able to craft a product that made us more than happy.

Joshua Pools, with his remarkable responsiveness, assisted me in assessing leaking issues with my…read morebathroom jetted tub. He not only arrived on time but also went beyond the initial plan. His quick response and dedication made me feel reassured about his availability and commitment. After listening to my concerns and applying his technical know-how, he helped me adjust the air intake valves to stop the leaking/dripping. He even took the time to drive to Home Depot to purchase a simple adhesive to apply to a zip-tie connection to the applicable valves. Joshua's honesty and transparency were evident when I explained an issue with my Delta Touchless faucet that may need replacing. He was very upfront about his skills before agreeing to the work. However, it turned out to be a simple job that did not require work he was not able to complete. This level of honesty made me feel secure and confident in his services. I will not hesitate to contact him for future plumbing work. In the end, Joshua's skill, ingenuity, and honest collaboration shone through as he completed the job. His impressive skills and innovative solutions left me feeling confident in his abilities. I will definitely use him for future plumbing work in my condo and would do so if I had a pool. :) Joshua, continue the great work. Also, good luck with your career endeavors.

Since then I've been using them for annual maintenance. Yes, they appear to have been bought but some of the same people still work at the company. I called them twice already this year once for maintenance and again for a electrical problem. Both times Isiah and his partner came and did work with efficiency and honestly. The communicated their ETA, provided excellent repair service, and even came back promptly when I had a different problem. How often can you say that about anyone now a days?

As David T. says in his 2002 review, this used to be a privately owned business, I think called…read more""Pool Cover Services," in Frederick MD. Ron Grimm owned and ran it, and gave me excellent service since the early 2000's -- some 20-odd years. He sold the business and retired a few years ago , and apparently it is now owned (?or somehow run; I don't know the arrangement) by a national company, "Cover Care." (I may be confused about the names.) However the Frederick business is now run by Ron's daughter, Heather, and at least some of the technicians still work there. They are now in the middle of replacing my cover, which was destroyed by a very large tree falling on it. My bottom line is that their work is still excellent. Going through their central office feels and is distant, and it seems that the communication between the center and the Frederick MD shop may not be perfect. However I was able to regain direct contact with the Frederick shop (i.e. Heather) and again enjoy the excellent and friendly communication that I had with Ron. The work, as I've said and want to repeat, has remained excellent throughout. So they are still my go-to guys.

This changed dramatically recently, when we requested service to analyze the pool's water quality (which has been a problem since Millenium Pools opened our pool over a month ago). We were initially told that someone would come within 4-5 days. Then we received a call canceling the visit and saying that they could only help us a couple of months later, and very rudely added that we were free to use another company.

The only thing you can count on is they will surely charge you ASAP even if services were terrible.
