Our pool needed resurfacing as well as a leak on the return line dectected and fixed. Tedand quot;s evaluation included suggestions to increase deck space by moving the hand rail for the steps and modify the pool in the ladder area in the deep end. All of these made sense to do while the pool was was being resurfaced Because none of the other contractors we interviewed came up with these suggestions, we decided to have Ted do the whole job.
Teds is a family run business, so communication is often on a next day basis. Once we understood that, things went very smoothly. Ted met all deadlines and helped with the additional projects of replacing all valves and converting the pool to a salt system.
Ted was a pleasure to work with and all his workers were courteous and professional. We are extremely pleased with the end result!

Ted assured me that it would be no problem and quoted me a price, but said that he was very busy. I was okay as long as it could be done by March 25th which he said was no problem. I hadn't heard anything, so I called him and left a message, but another man returned my call from Ted's. He said that he would set me up, but I was going out of town and wouldn't be back until the week before the 25th. He said it was no problem, set me up for Thursday and be done by Saturday. I have heard nothing from them since.

Ted came out and evaluated the pool. Determined which area he thought was loosing water. Had us test the theory by allowing the pool to drain. Ted then came back out and totally replaced the skimmer box and fixed the concrete around the skimmer. This took two trips because he took the time to fix it the proper way and to allow for the concrete to set. When he was finished, the pool no longer leaked and the area was fixed and pavers returned perfectly in place.

Called Ted's Pool Service. Set up the appointment with Rebecca. Ted and Charlie arrived on time, took care of the problem. His work was clean and professional. Definitely will recommend him to friends and neighbors and if the occasion arises will use him again.

Ted came out in early August, charged me $200 for leak detection even though I told him exactly what was leaking. He did not repair the leak. I've had other leak detection agencies look at my skimmer and they did not feel they could, in good conscience, charge me the full charge, since they didn't have to find the leak. Since Ted has an AngiesList and quot;Aand quot; rating, I continued.

I knew I needed a new skimmer and he have me an estimate of $700 - $900.
He sent me a proposal, which I signed and returned to him on 8-17.
Since summer brings rain, which is not conducive to concrete work, he could not give me a date as to when he could do the work.
I completely understood this.

I received a phone call from his office last Friday, 9-9-2011 saying that I'm on the schedule for today, Monday 9-12. She could not commit to a time but told me that she would call me around 9:30 and let me know when to expect him. She never called.
At 10:30 I phoned his office, received voice mail, left a message and received a call back saying that he was not going to make it today.
I found this very unprofessional. When you call his office you never speak to a person. A message must be left.

Please keep this information in mind when dealing with this company.

"The customer was advised of the $200.00 leak detection charge when she called into our office. She approved the charge and a leak detection was performed. If other companies already worked on their pool and located the leak, why would she have needed to call us; or even approve our leak detection charge? The skimmer had been gobbed with putty by previous companies. Ted showed Ms Warner where the leak was and she was at this time very pleased that he located the leak around the previous repair. Ted could not make it on Monday unfortunately and advised the customer that he would be out in the AM next day. She was not happy with that and canceled her contract with us for the repair. Sometimes messages have to be left due to we are Family Owned and Operated, although ALL messages left are returned. We try to stay small so that we can give all of our customers the best possible service. Since length of time on a repair is not always known, a job may take us longer than anticipated. Ted will always give quality work even if it takes him longer to complete the job. Unfortunately another customer may have to have their day changed, but Ted will do the same for them if it was needed. We wish for all of our customers to be pleased with our company and strive to be sure that they are, but we are not perfect and do not claim to be and there are some people that we are not able to please. Unfortunately the customer seems to be one of them. We responded to this report because we want other potential customers to know that there is always another side to a story."

My pool deck was a nightmare because it had been improperly done to begin with. It had sunk in various places and the pressure was casuing tiles to pop off. One ugly mess! We got several estimates for replacing the deck and most contractors wanted to take an easier way out that would not have been correct or looked right. Ted's "apples to apples price" (meaning removing the entire 2' area around the top of the pool) was significantly less than a competitor. Ted and his team did a superb job. They had an extremely clean jobsite and Ted or Sherry always responded promptly to any of my calls/emails. I strongly recommend this company to any of my friends.

Very professional work. He added an valve run off that I can use when the pool overflows in rainy season. In addition, he made excellent suggestions for my pool in the future. Ted is very knowledgeable and willing to teach his customers on the proper, yet, economical way to maintain a pool. I was highly satisfied and will definitely use him in the future.

We were losing water in our pool and called Ted. He got here the next day, checked a lot of possibilities and found the leak. While he was here he also gave us a lot of other helpful pool related advise. We recommend him very highly.

They responded very promptly. He also guaranteed his work. Ted, the owner, came out himself to do the work. He was friendly and professional. If needed we would absolutely use them again.

I contacted Ted's Pool Repair first just out of the Yellow Pages, learned that he charged $200 flat fee for leak detection regardless if it took 10 minutes or several days. I thought that was high, so I contacted another company recommended by my house builder and learned that they charged $350 for the same service. I call Ted's back and asked when I could get him out and learned that he was a couple of weeks out because he was so busy. He came on time, started his work and had the leak detected and fixed in 1.5 hours. While he was at it he opened a second drain in the spa and performed preventive maintenance on that to ensure it also would not leak. Also while he was here he made recommendations on several other problems I had that I could fix myself. He promised to come back for free as many times as it took to get the leak fixed, but he found the only leak and fixed it the first time. He expected no payment until the job was done.
