It is going very well. Joe took care of my concern.
Description of Work: I have been using their service for a couple years now. I called for them to look at my pool surface that they did in December of 2010. Joe was on time and told me he would take care of my concern that the surface was "modeling". Any time I have ever had a concern they have come right out and taken care of it. No run around. I also use their monthly service and they offer the use of a salt system free of charge.

We had a very bad time with this pool and spa! There was some neglect by the previous owners of our new home, and then it was worsened by the home being empty for several months. We had valves broken, leaks, chemical issues...on and on and on. I will say we had some communication issues with this company (some things we would have had done if we had been told an extra step, at yes, some cost, would have rectified it), but the supervisory staff is very responsive. Our pool is coming along, they have been VERY fair in not charging duplicate service call charges, even when a fix SHOULD have worked, but something else was needed. In addition, I have to say they have cared and been PATIENT. We have not been so patient at times, and they have been kind and understanding about our frustrations. And in instances where a less expensive fix may be a solution, they have proposed that fix as opposed to just trying to sell us on what will make us the most. We are very happy with them.
Description of Work: We've had chemical and start up issues dealt with for the pool, and some repairs completed (with some pending.)

We bought the house in Jul and hired them to do the monthly cleaning. They have had to replace/repair several items not working properly or worn out. Main problem has been an on-going leak in the pool which has taken numerous visits by several tech folks to work on since its difficult to find.

This was our first pool and Bay Area Pool was our first contact and since they were reliable and did the job required, we found no reason to change vendors. However, we did discontinue the brush cleaning as we found that we could perform that chore ourselves. The $40 is a monthly charge.
Description of Work: They measured the quality of the pool water, added the needed chemicals. In the beginning, they also brush cleaned the pool on a regular basis .

Pool now stays clear! Previously looked and was a frog pond. The Salt Chlorinator does an awesome job. They show up when they say they will and do a fantastic job. There will be no surprises with the prices. Very friendly and professional in person and on the phone.

Their service is excellent. They put in a new system that does not use chlorine so you never smell chlorine. They come every two weeks and do a great job. If we have a lot of rain they will come back in between visits.
Description of Work: I use them for pool service. They have been doing it for about 6 or 7 years.

They spent a maximum of 10 minutes cleaning the pool and spa. Let the dog out and almost hit the dog with their equiptment since they had headphones on the whole time. They lied about leaving my heater on which happened twice.
Description of Work: They were terrible! I was in the spa and got out so they could work on the pool. They agree to turn the spa heater off but turned it to pool instead of off as requested. They cost me $400 in propane and denied it was their issue. The company said it couldn't have been them because they are not allowed to touch heaters. They also never cleaned the salt ionizer and it clogged. This was discovered by the replacement company. They were careless and would not accept responsibility!!!

Marty came out and showed me how the pool to our newly purchased home worked. Never having a pool before this was intimidating. He was patient and answered all my questions. I decided to use his services on a once every 2 weeks time frame. I would recommend Marty's company to others.

I have been pleased with their service. The employees were prompt for the service and were very kind and courteous. They took the time to explain things to me and let me know things that I could do to help keep my prices down. They told me some things I could do to help drop the price of the service. I think that are wonderful people and even the price was good.
Description of Work: I hired Bay Area Pools & Spas Incorporated to come out and check my pool heater and filter. They also worked to remove some algae in my pool.

They respond when I have a problem. I think they need to train some people better before sending them out. I used to have a great guy, but then they sent someone less experienced. But he fixed the problem for me.

They have been doing an awesome job. They are always punctual and polite. One time, we were out and our dog likes to play with them. They threw a ball for the dog and the dog landed funny on his leg and was limping a little. The worker left a note for us apologizing and said to please let him know if anything is wrong with the dog.
Description of Work: They have been taking care of our pool for the past three years. They come out every other week, and we pay per month.

I like the pump they put in because it is quiet and energy efficient. I like that it has a remote to it so I can program what I need to from the inside of my home. They have never missed an appointment and they are very reliable. Everything they talked to me about and sold me has worked like advertised. They have been very helpful in educating me on how to manage the pool. The guys are very clean cut and they usually send the same people very time, so I feel comfortable with them.
Description of Work: They come to clean and check the chemistry of the pool twice a month for 100 dollars.

They are very helpful and seem to always be able to help with anything that comes up. They leave a report every week with the name of the service tech who came out, what they did and any repairs that are necessary. You can call them anytime and they come out. I don't know the amount, but they are very reasonably priced. Prices vary with the size of your pool.
Description of Work: They service our pool weekly. They take care of any repairs, they've replaced the motor, and they check the chemicals.

I had used Bay Area for more than a year, but I recently switched to a new pool service because I felt my pool just didn't look very clean. Now, I know why. The new pool service found that my chlorine was too low, my pH levels too high and my filter was extremely dirty. These are all things I was paying Bay Area to take of, but obviously they did not. After switching to a new pool service, my pool is sparkling clean. Another problem with Bay Area is that they will make repairs and replace parts without telling you in advance... and, of course, the prices they charge are expensive. They did this several times even though I had complained after the first time they did this.
Description of Work: I had Premium Chemical Service and Cleaning Service. They charged $80/month.

Didn t use. Called to make appointment but sales rep called a few days later, said he d been to house and figured out what I needed (which annoyed me). When I called him he kept insisting I needed a pool heater the same size as original. I repeated that I wanted to downsize to a spa heater only. He kept selling me a heater that I did not need. He sent me a written quote that included a $900 filter that I also did not need and a $2,400 pool heater that was oversized (I spent $1,400 for the correct one at a competitor). Overall, I reckoned the quote was $2,500 to $3,000 overpriced. The strange thing is I received a written quote a few days later and I never heard a word from him since. Strange way to do business. It s not my way. I guess they think that all prospects are uneducated and are ready to be brow-beaten.
Description of Work: Automate pool controls, new filter, new pool heater and redo pool plumbing.
