"It went well. The young man was here for 75 minutes and fixed two leaks. He was very nice and very good. The charge of $400 for 1 hour and 15 minutes was a bit steep. He didn't use any specialized equipment, just him diving in the pool and checking the leaks with colored liquid."

"Dan was very knowledgeable and thorough with Explaining how my pool works. I hired him on the spot for a weekly services and his prices are fair compared to others!"

"Pete is wonderful. It's been months and never had a problem or issue. He's very thorough and takes care of my pool like it was his. I highly recommend him!

"Removed old nonworking water filter system from another company and nstalled a reverse osmosis water system. It works great and the installer was very prompt and professional. Work was neatly done and all questions answered. Very satisfied with the company, the system and their workers. The water tastes great."

"The final result is amazing! We have a beautiful "new" pool with a gorgeous water feature, and couldn't be happier. Congratulations to the entire team at Aqua Doc for a job well done. We'd especially like to thank: -Mike, our salesperson, who followed through and checked in all throughout -Matt, the designer, who understood my vision and didn't think I was crazy -Jimmy and the team, who took the design and made it happen with professionalism and expertise -the team at the office who fielded all my calls and questions -Shawn, the pool system tech who got us up and running so we can enjoy our pool"

"We contacted Pure Pool service and they came out right away and looked at the pools we have and gave us a quote and a recommendation on some minor things that need to be fixed (like a new filter, etc.). We were impressed with their professionalism and with their responsiveness. My husband chose to use the company that our neighbor uses, but we will definitely keep this company in mind. It appears to be well-run and organized.

"I purchased a new A/C unit. All went well with the sales and installation. After repeated return visits because the house was not getting cool we came to realize the new system was not compatible with the old duct work. An unexpected and expensive surprise. I felt as though that should have been identified earlier. The management did work hard to solve the problem. I did get additional quotes for the duct work just to be sure I wasn’t being taken advantage of. I must say that after having the duct work replaced the house temperature in every room if perfect! I am happy with the service I received and would call them again."

"3D Solar did a great job removing and then reinstalling 34 solar panels. My original installer quoted an outrageous amount so I went looking for a new Solar company. 3D Solar was recommended by a reputable solar consultant. I spoke with David Ringo at length and we had a great conversation about many topics as well as solar. The crews were on time, professional and conscientious and super nice. David's quote was less than half the price even when I told him what my original installer was about to charge and very reasonable considering the amount of work involved. The reinstallation was very good, even better than the original install by another company. They used updated mounting hardware and did a tidy job with cable management. 3D Solar sent out crews right away to sort out a small technical issue with the inverter that became apparent after installation. They were able to diagnose and correct the issue. I am particularly impressed with the fast and effective follow up service. I am pleased to recommend 3D Solar for installation or maintenance of solar systems."

"I had stains and algae in the bottom of my pool from using another pool service with low quality care. I called and asked if they could reverse all of that and they sure did. My pool sparkles, looks and feels fantastic! Best pool company we have ever hired."

"I had a thirty-year-old pool that needed a complete facelift. I solicited several bids. The estimator for Custom Pools & Remodelling arrived, discussed the options for what I wanted done, and prepared an estimate. I subsequently negotiated on the price of the acrylic deck/lanai coating and was given a better price. The attitudes of the estimator and the business owner and the willingness to negotiate and to reach a fair price, even though it was not the lowest bid, helped me make the decision to go with them. I was told that all the work could be completed in 10 working days or less.

We set the date for work to begin. I had not received a call by the end of the week before the begin date to confirm and so I called the business number. It was answered by a female family member who took messages on two occasions. I got a call back from the owner, Shannon Stevens, on the day the construction was to begin. He told me that construction would begin the next day.

The next day, crew members arrived about 9:00 AM and began work on the deck/lanai preparation. They thoroughly pressure washed and then applied the initial coat of sealer. The crew worked hard all day, and there was no slacking off. Very professional! The following day, another crew arrived to drain the pool and to begin work preparing the interior surface. They had to cut out a section with a piece of deteriorating re-bar, replace it, and re-concrete it. They then worked to prepare the surface, including blast washing, digging under the edge tile that was to remain, and generally prepare for other work. That crew was exceptionally hard-working and professional. They knew what they were doing, worked efficiently as a team, and did not slack off at all. They were terrific. 

The work continued with pouring the new Wet-Edge finish and applying it smoothly in all areas. They feathered the mixture with the edge tiles that was remaining and made it perfect. They also replaced the pool drain and worked with the mounting of the existing pool light to make sure they were installed correctly. They then began refilling the pool, and this was to done without interruption until the next day. Shannon came back to personally add appropriate chemicals, provide instructions for brushing, and to provide loaner of an automatic pool sweeper. I began a daily brushing down of the interior surface of the pool, which was to continue while the coating cured for 30 days. I also opened the filter chamber and rinsed the filter two times during that period.
A crew returned two times to apply the acrylic coating to the deck and lanai, and they did a good job with that work too,

The contract called for Shannon to return to provide "Pool 101" instruction. That never really happened, and telephone contact these next few weeks were difficult. After two weeks and no additional start-up contact or chemical treatment, I noticed algae growing on the pool walls. I called to ask Shannon to set a time to come by for "Pool 101" and to adjust the chemicals. Again, the person answering the phone is a family member and it's not a professional business phone service. Shannon finally called and told me that there is a  Pool Owner's Manual at their website (a PDF file) but it returns a 404 Not Found message. He had provided a water testing kit to me, and I used it to draw water samples and tale them to the nearby Pinch A Penny for testing. He suggested that I but a couple of gallons of chlorine and add those to stop the algae. He said there would be no problem with doing that and that it wouldn't hurt the pool surface while in curing mode.

Shannon did stop by to check the chemicals on the third week, and to pick up his loaner pool cleaner. (I had replaced his with my own cleaner and it worked more effectively to cover the bottom  and the walls of the pool.) He also had located two specially mounting automatic door closers for the pool cages two screen doors, and he installed those. He left the receipt and I sent his a check for that amount. 

Overall I am very pleased with the quality of the materials and the work ethic of the crew members. They showed up when they said they would, were always hard-working and professional, and they did an excellent job. With the exception of the problems with the 30-day start-up period, I think the job went very well. The pool and the area around it look brand new, crisp, and inviting. I definitely think that the value I received for the money was worth every penny. Shannon Stevens is friendly, professional, and is on-site to make sure the job is done correctly. I just think he is overwhelmed with work projects and that was the primary reason our "Pool 101" didn't happen. However, I'm seeking that information elsewhere and am resuming the commercial weekly pool chemical service I've used for many years.
