I left this year due to their excessively high prices on supplies and equipment. I'd always been puzzled by their prices on supplies and a bit shocked by their equipment prices. This year I could no longer ignore the difference between American and other pool service companies. When I needed a new filter, American Pool charged $2200 for a unit I could buy online for $900 or in a retail store for $1200 including installation. Since I needed other parts last summer, I began to buy them at Aquacraft Pools on Route One in Peabody and it made sense to transfer all my pool business to Aquacraft. Unlike my experience with American over the past couple of years, Aquacraft's prices are fair, they also do openings and closings, and their staff are pleasant and professional.
Response from AMERICAN POOL SERVICE INC
"From our initial written quote to the final bill, American Pool Service wants to make sure your entire pool project is a worry-free experience. That’s why we submit a written quote for customer approval for all the work to be completed BEFORE we start. The final quote and the final bill will always match. If a customer gets a lower bid prior to installation, we will match any local, reputable competitor's written quote."

Minor issues with scheduling but we were trying to fit work in at last minute in their busy season. Once scheduled they completed job quickly and professionally. Prior service company took days to complete what these guys could do in one day. Had a strong grasp of how to get job done and dealt with issues promptly.

Very well. Got their # from Angie's List, they returned my call and all went smoothly from there.

"When you’re only as good as your last pool closing, we make sure it’s done right. The last thing we want is a headache for you or for us in the spring. Worry-free service, season after season, is what you can expect from American Pool Service."

They have essentially replaced the pool that was here and put in a new system. They are very reliable, they come on the agreed upon day, and they come in and out without leaving a mess. They are responsive to our concerns. We have never had any problems with them. They are a little pricey but you get what you pay for.

They are punctual and professional, but very expensive for work done. They charge you for everything. Your pool cover has to be clear of all leaves and water for opening or there is a $100 fee. All chemicals are extra. Their service for opening and closing is through, but not worth the price.
Response from AMERICAN POOL SERVICE INC
"It’s true we do charge for everything we do. Some customers like to save money by preparing the pool and completing this necessary task required for a thorough, worry-free pool opening. When that’s the case, we refuse to charge for work the customer has already done."
