Kirk and his company did an excellent job opening, maintaining, and closing the pool for a condominium that I manage. At the beginning of the season, we had several issues with the pool, including cracks that needed to be repaired. Kirk provided thorough proposals and walked us through the process of repairing the pool. He also assisted us with the inspection with the county. The process was seamless. Kirk's strongest characteristic is his communication. When he is working on a project, he will text information and photos. If he runs into an issue, he will promptly call or text. I would recommend Next Home Project for pool maintenance services.

Why would a business owner refuse to talk to customers on the phone and mandates texting only. I was new to this pool service and had several questions. I was forced to text my questions which included how much would it cost if I need a new liner for xx ft size pool (part and labor).. he ignored my inquiry and got me trapped into paying upfront for the opening cost, then he texted me the price of replacing the liner which was huge where I would have cancelled the whole project if I knew my options upfront. He is not honest and his communication is not adequate.
Response from

"Pool opening and liner cleaning services were successfully completed and necessary prior to inspection of neglected pool and liner. This included removing damaged winter cover. Cover and pool were sanitized and disinfected. Unable to remove embedded stains. Liner was too old and damaged. Customer was unavailable during and after on site services were completed. For good communication, ongoing updates and pics were texted to the customer prior to, during and after all stages of completed pool services. Damaged liner was inspected. Liner had embedded stains, large holes (too big to repair) and shrinkage (below return hole and skimmer and along pool wall sides) from being neglected by customer and improperly exposed to the sun. Photos of damaged liner, including measurements of deep center and diameter for new liner quote were provided to customer. Recommended new liner replacement. Provided immediate initial quote upfront and a written estimate to customer for new liner and installation. Customer declined. Prepayment, preferred customer and first time incentive discounts were offered, along with revised quotes and written estimate. Several courtesy services were provided."

I just wish they had hauled away the old Pool liner as specified, but they had run out of bags. Perhaps I should have been given a discount. They removed our old pool liner and installed a new one all w/in 8 hours as promised
Response from

"As part of our regular liner replacement services we removed the old liner, cut into small strips, rolled and packed into the new empty liner box, nicely and neatly. We placed the new liner box with the rolled strips of old liner next to the customer's trash containers for City pick up. ALSO, prepayment and first time incentive discounts, as well as, courtesy services were provided during and after the pool liner replacement."

The pre-pay form and its included disclaimers are somewhat off-putting, even for a lawyer (which I am). But once you get past what appears to be a gruff nature, the work is done quickly and completely. My reinforced pool cover was removed and cleaned and folded, the pool was vacuumed and brushed down, and the yard was cleaned up after completion. They even washed down the dead leaves and stuff that accumulate under the edges of the cover so the pool deck looked good when they left. I had numerous text contacts with the company and they always answered quickly.

I was quoted wrong price, paid too much money, so when he was here servicing my pool he didn't want me outside, and i had to do most of the work!
Response from

"We provided courtesy follow-up visits prior to and after each stage of restoration services were completed for a vintage, neglected pool for a first time pool owner. This included thorough walk around of entire pool and equipment with customer and extended explanations of completed work and recommendations of additional services needed to open pool. ALSO, we successfully cleaned out, opened, repaired and scheduled weekly pool maintenance. Original service request was for an opening and a cleaning only. Customer declined additional service recommendations and decided to do it himself after courtesy pool school lessons were provided. For customer convenience all pricing was texted immediately up front for easy reference and emailed in a written estimate. Customized pricing for add on services to best fit the customer's budget, and price matching to beat local competitor's prices was offered. Our customer's safety is priority, especially during power sanitizing water treatments and acid washings. We stated up front in our service agreement and texted courtesy reminders: "No one or any animals allowed in backyard during pool servicing, for customer safety! Also, so pool servicing can be completed in a timely manner.""

How could anyone say this man is a good communicator is beyond me! A total waste of money. Please beware of these people. All he did was text, no communication. The only good thing he did was clean the tarp, and barely the pool. Horrible!

Finally I found someone to come to my aid. Mr. Schiebold showed up on time and did a fabulous job opening my pool. He also gave me great advice to properly care for my pool. I just hope he remains in business for many years because I will definitely be in need of his service.
