Description of Work: Prep and resurface a 20 x 40 x 10 pool with Diamondbrite. Crew was easy to work with and friendly. Post project cleanup was excellent Alligator Pool would not take any payment until the job was done and to our satisfaction. I've worked with several pool companies when I was flipping houses and had nothing but problems and broken promises. Alligator Pool was zero problems and A+ quality

They have been super professional and responsive since I sent my initial inquiry via Angie's list. Their quote was comprehensive and they responded professionally to all additional questions we had and sent additional information for us to review on alternative equipment in an effort to bring our costs down. We have not yet awarded this project.
Description of Work: Pool resurfacing and repair. This company was an absolute joy to work with. They were efficient, responsible and did an OUTSTANDING job. I only wish all companies were as professional as they are. Thanks Alligator Pool Service!

Excellent service all around. I called Alligator because another vendor failed to show up. Alligator was quick to come out and give an estimate. And they were then quick to come out and do the work exactly as discussed. Great service, great commnication, and their price was better than the other vendor.
Description of Work: Drained pool and performed acid wash, re-filled and balanced chemicals. Added check valve to pool/spa. Other misc pool related repairs.

We interviewed four pool service companies before selecting Alligator Pool Service as the one to renovate our 25 year-old pool. Alan Hayes, head of Alligator Pool, impressed us with his friendly and knowledgeable business demeanor. He was on schedule, promptly answered all guestions and, during the work, was quickly available by email or phone. And he was helpful in moving up the project schedule at our request. The two week project moved along as we expected, as work teams came to handle the project's verious phases. It was done on schedule and followed up to check the project and balance the pool chemicals. We are pleased with the job. And we are enjoying our "new" pool.
Description of Work: In renovating our swiming pool, The Alligator Service drained and cleaned pool, sandblasted pool surface and applied acid wash to existing waterline tile before applying Diamondbrite interior pool surface. Existing pool pump, filter system and valves for skimmer were checked. After a new filter for sump was applied, the pool system was restarted and balanced initial pool chemicals added.

Alligator makes having a pool a trouble free experience.
Description of Work: They have been doing my pool service for over 10 years and recently resurfaced my pool. The are dependable and trustworthy. They keep my pool sparkling clean and I do not have to call them or hear from them unless something is wrong with my equipment. In such cases, Alan, the owner, gives me a call, explains the problem and the cost of the repair. If I want more details he comes in person and shows me the problem and explains the options. They are able to take care of any issue within days. They recently resurfaced my pool. I got quotes from several pool guys and Alligator price was fair. They did a very good job in the time quoted.

I narrowed my search down to 4 pool companies using Angie's List and other online reviews. Of the 4 estimates I received, I liked Alligator Pool best. The work included sand blasting the surface of the pool (27x13), fixing an area on the bottom of the pool that had a little crack from replacing a drain previously, replacing the jets and drain cover, re-cementing an area in the corner just under our pavers, re-surfacing the entire pool with diamond brite. Though the initial estimate ($2500) was about the same as one other company, one of the main reasons I went with this company was the owner, Alan. He was very easy to work with, always answered his phone when I called or called me back right away. After I received the estimate and told him I wanted to use him, I asked if he could put a mosaic at the bottom of the pool. He said he could definitely do that and he really liked them. He told me that he could drop by a brochure of samples and if I saw something I liked, he could order it with his discount which is what he would charge me, no other charge. I told him the one I liked and he found out the price for me. I went online and checked around to see if I could find it cheaper, but it was definitely the best price and lower than I had anticipated. I also found some baby turtles that I wanted on my steps, but they weren't in his brochure (I saw them at a tile store). I told Alan about them and asked if he could put those on the steps. He said that would not be a problem and if I went to the store he would make sure they gave me his discount, which I did. One of the other things that Alan recommended was adding a coving to the bottom corners of our pool. Our pool is an older pool that had straight corners like a box. He said it would make it much easier to brush the pool and if we used an automatic pool cleaner, it would make it easier to climb the sides. It was extra, but we decided it was something we should do. Another recommendation was to add tile to the steps around the corners. Currently our tile on the steps was just on the sides, just under the top corner. He explained that it was better for the edge of the steps and that it made it easier to see the edges and not miss a step. He only charged us for the price of the tile and we decided it was a good idea too so we added it as well. We also made sure to get a permit which added to the original estimate. That is how our original quote of $2550 ended up being $4221 (!!) but it was worth it. Our mosaic (which was the bulk of the cost at over $800 including tax) looks beautiful and it's much easier to brush the pool. The steps look great too. Now, as to the actual work. When we called Alan and told him we wanted to go with his company, we told him that we wanted to finish our roof first. He told me to just call him when we were ready. Once we called, he started work within 2 weeks. He came by and hooked up a sump pump to start draining our pool. Then, 2 days later, 2 individuals came out from a company he uses to sand blast the sides (just below the tile). It was very loud and lasted about 4-5 hours. It was pretty messy (not their fault, just the nature of the job), but it was necessary since our walls were in pretty bad shape. Alan also dropped by the mosaic, which was beautiful (a large mermaid and turtle w/shadow). We were waiting for the materials to be delivered, which happened over the next couple of days and then we were working around the rain as well. He sent over 2 of his employees and they put in the coving around the entire pool. The next day, they came back and cemented the mermaid on the bottom (with me telling them where I wanted it), cemented the turtles on the steps where I had placed them, and put the tiles on the steps. Next, they came back with a 3rd employee and resurfaced the entire pool with the diamond brite. We had been a little concerned with the timing because we knew we were going out of town and the rain put us right to the day before we were leaving as we began refilling the pool. Alan assured us there would not be a problem and he would take care of the pool, making sure it didn't overfill and of course taking care of the chemicals. When we came back, we had a beautiful pool to swim in! There were some spots of diamond brite on the pavers and pool deck and they forgot to cement the corner, but I called Alan and he came out and took care of both issues. The only issue I have is that my original tile around the top of the sides needs to be re-grouted, but I didn't really notice that before and didn't include that in my original work request. I told Alan and said he could send over his "tile guy" if I want. It will be extra, but it will finish the pool (for me) completely. I would recommend this company.

He was very thorough with the explanation of what is to be done, and very realistic of the time and lobar needed for this project. I thought he did a great job. He was punctual, and got the estimate back to me before he said he would. All the other reports on Angie's List are correct. He is everything they say he is. I do look forward to contacting him in the future if I have the pool repaired.
Description of Work: The manager came to measure my pool, and gave me an estimate to fix the whole pool. He explained to me the process of removing the paint, sanding, and re-coating the pool.

Alan answered my phone call personally, made an appointment to come to our home to check our pool problem, showed up punctually with a pleasant, knowledgeable manner, diagnosed the problem quickly and recommended the least expensive repair. He made the repair expertly and promptly. His service was excellent and his price was right. This is the second time we have used Alligator's service. I would highly recommend this company.
Description of Work: Alan Hayes came to our home, quickly identified the cause of leakage in our swimming pool. After discussing alternative repairs, he installed a pipe extention with a faucet to control loss of water from the external water outlet. Problem solved.
