Matt's assistance with my pool was outstanding. He helped me get it from green to clear in a few weeks and helped me understand my system and how to test and apply chemicals in a very easy-to-understand way. I would trust his expertise again in the future and recommend him to others.

Fairway told us this would be a 2-day job. They "finished" after 2 days, but then let us know that a city inspector would have to inspect it before they could lay the cement. They promised to call and schedule an inspector, and he would show up in a couple of days. After calling them everyday...
