I called ProTouch Pool Services based on all the 5 star reviews and I can confirm the nothing-but 5…read morestars are all well deserved. I happened to call the day before July 4th weekend (or course!) when I realized my pool and spa heater would not turn on. Kevin, the owner, answered the phone himself (rare these days to have any live person answer the phone!) and told me he would have Lance, the equipment tech, get back to me. Despite it being probably THE busiest day of the year for these guys, Lance did indeed call me back within minutes. I let him know what model heater I had and exactly what the problem was, and Lance let me know he would have to order the part so he would not be able to fix the same day. I never in a million years expected it to be fixed that day anyway, and was completely stoked when he called me back a few days later to let me know he had the part and could swing by and install it. Lance is the consummate professional, it only took him about 10 minutes to get my heater back up and running again. I very much appreciate the immediate response time and professionalism exhibited by both Kevin and Lance, it is almost unheard of these days. If you have any pool related needs, these are the guys you want, hands down!

First, I only write reviews for businesses that exceed what we all would call better than the…read moreaverage or just good. They have to be great for me to spend the time and effort to write a review. Kevin and Lance and the Pro Touch team are what I call exceptional in this day and age. They live up to the reviews that are on Yelp, Google and others. Timely, efficient and honest. If you don't need it they won't try to sell you. They have the "stuff" that other companies promise but never seem to deliver on. My work was minor and I probably could have done it myself but I wanted professionals to advise me and provide honest opinions about my pool and the systems that run it. I got that and more! Thanks guys! You have earned my return business and my recommendations to my friends and neighbors.

In the middle of swim season - last, July - Westin 's negligence allowed a full algae bloom in my pool. Instant scummy pond water within a week. I could not have my grandkids over for a swim as planned because of this embarrassment. My pool had not been the same until the new pool service took over last week. The pictures of my pool filters combined with Westin's email records confirmed that he had not cleaned my filters IN OVER A YEAR at the time I terminated his services a week ago. I never solicited or hired Westin in the first place; My pool account had been sold to Westin from the previous pool guy. I couldn't terminate him fast enough after this last go round with algae in my pool and my repeated request over several weeks of Westin to do more than just pour a double portion of chlorine in the pool. Westin is young and inexperienced and has a negative attitude towards hard work.

Dan came out to our home to diagnose a leak in our spa and the diagnostic call out was $150. Spa…read morewas full in order to identify the leak. He said we needed a new heater so that was ordered. But he would need to come back out and install and fix once the spa was empty. We emptied spa and then He then came back out and charged another $150 his hourly rate (which he will charge even for 20 minute visit) but realized that he had misdiagnosed the problem as there was nothing wrong with our heater and even though spa was empty he decided to just change out one plastic gasket which he assumed was now the culprit for the leak. So at this point we have spent $300 in his time and $6 in parts. I asked if he would honor his work and make sure that the leak was fixed and he said that the problem should be fixed. But when we filled up the spa the leak was still there. I requested that he come back out and please fix the leak but he said he would need another $150 to come out and diagnose it again. I said that was not fair as we had already paid for his time and expertise and diagnosis (a total of $306) but our hot tub was still leaking. He then said we were "lucky"that he didn't charge us for and install the heater ( the one he ordered when he misdiagnosed the leak) which would have been another $285. That's not lucky that is common decency. If you need your spa fixed by an honest and integral person unfortunately Dan Spa and Repair is NOT the person for you. He will not honor his word or his work. He will take your money and misdiagnose and potentially charge you for parts you don't need.

Because of his standard of care and quality of work I have since recommended him to several other close friends and families for their pool and landscape projects. All were absolutely delighted with the creative initiative, planning and implementation of their projects - and they have subsequently referred him to many of their own friends. I believe this is because he is a rarity. Conscientious, hardworking, and he consistently delivers work of exceptional quality - on time and on budget - but best of all - he has integrity. With years of hands on experience, cutting his teeth, working and learning his trade from his father, he knows the business inside out - so you don't have to. I worked for Louis Vuitton on design projects in Europe for over 10 years and I am very accustomed to working with contractors - and trust me when I say there are very, very few who meet his standard. I would highly recommend John DiMaria - use him and you won't be disappointed. I should add, I am not being paid for this review, and I have no vested interest. What I do have is a great deal of gratitude and respect for a very good, hardworking man and his dedicated, friendly workforce, who consistently deliver qualitative, impressive work - and truly deserve a really great review.
