Would definitely recommend them
We have been using Vernon Poolman to service our pool and handle our pool closing for many years now.
I've always found them fast and friendly. Whenever we have had a problem they have been responsive and quick to answer any questions I might have.
Their hours are extended during the summer months for picking up supplies as well, and the prices have been reasonable.
"Hello [Removed name], Though we appreciate your positive comments, I am afraid you have the wrong company. We are a vinyl-liner pool company, we do not resurface gunite pools. Best regards, Vernon Poolman"
"Hello [member name removed], We haven't been able to locate any record of work performed for you at this address. Could you give us more information so that we can find the correct service information and appropriately address your concerns? Was the service performed at a different location than your present address? It looks like it was a couple years ago, but do you remember what type of service it was? Why were you dissatisfied? We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to make you a satisfied customer. Vernon Poolman"
When I contacted Vernon Poolman, they responded very quickly. They came out to the house, scoped out the work they would have to do and gave us a quote within one week.
The removal of the old liner and installation of the new one went very well. Vernon Poolman also replaced three plastic pool fittings: two round discharge ports (through which water enters the pool after going through the filter) and the rectangular outlet port at the skimmer. The new parts are of an improved (better) design.
The workers were friendly, very efficient and professional.
We would definitely hire Vernon Poolman again if the need arises.
The finished product was more than we could have dreamed of. The pool is perfect. The fence is straight as an arrow, and installed securely. Clean-up after the job was also done thoroughly. No debris left behind.
They went above and beyond at every opportunity. My house is new construction, and the back yard is quite steep - this caused quite a bit of water to be ever present in the ground in my backyard. For no extra charge, the crew installed additional drainage - above and beyond - to ensure we would not have water problems in or around the pool area.
I would recommend Vernon Poolman unconditionally. Our experience was second to none.
We bought the chemicals for the summer. We did not use much of it and had to buy a lot of other chemicals. Much of the package did not apply to our sand filter and needed to be returned. It was not the deal that it sounded like it would be.
The pool took a long time to get in balance, previously the pool opener we had used the right balance of chemicals and the pool was perfect in about 2 days. This time we spent a month adding chemicals trying to get it right. Finally we returned to our previous opener (which we have rated highly now on Angie's List) and the pool was sparkling in 2 days again.
