Most recently, they cleared out leaf-caused plugging of our pool's skimmer return line. Previously, they cleaned out our pool filter, and they also replaced some damaged piping near our pool's pump and filter. They charge a fair price for the work that they do.

We were unable to run the pool, because the filter pressure was sky high (the filter cartridges were clean). I called Stearns out to investigate and fix the problem. We also requested Pool School (we are new pool owners). Two pool techs arrived at our house and went to investigate the problem. They took apart a portion of the pool plumbing/filtration system that leads into the heater and sends water back out to the pool. They diagnosed there was a clog. They could not reattach the pipes to the heater and told me to call the warranty company and have them fix it. So basically left us from bad to worse, and charged us for it. We had another company come out, and fix the problem. It was a broken spring in the heater. The other pool company also reattach the pipes, Stearn's tech's were not able too. I called Stearns and talked to the owner to let her know my disappointment with the service. She was very nice on the phone and agreed that the ball had been dropped, but that was it. Needless to say we will not be calling Stearns again.

I have had been with Stearn's for over 18 years. I used them when Jim Stearns went to Iraq and the service plummeted. When he returned the service improved. The service has slowly deteriorated over the last 4 years and so has the pool. ( I have not lived at the property for several years ) I recently went and inspected the property they maintained to ready it for sale and found things in significant disrepair. I contacted them to come assess and repair what needed to be repaired. Upon inspection they basically told me they didn't know where to start and couldnt do the repairs. This is not what I would expect for a company that claims t be a full service company. I would have expected at least an outrageous estimate not an out and out refusal to do anything. Aside from not doing the job I found them hard to contact and they failed to follow up. I fired them for my monthly maintenance which cost $187 a month.

This is an ongoing service, which we've had for 5 years, and we've been very pleased with them.
Description of Work: We lease a house in the Memorial area and our landlord furnishes pool service for the backyard pool. The same guy shows up at the same time, same day, every week and has been for five years. Even when it's raining. He is very thorough, and he's also careful not to leave gates open so my dogs don't get out. Stearns has been really good about maintaining equipment and letting us know when they have to replace a part or perform a service, and they've been great about answering my frequent questions about how to manage the pool and equipment in the event of a freeze, etc. They were also very helpful after Hurricane Ike getting the pool cleaned out. This is who we will use when we purchase a house with a pool. They are reliable and have been a pleasure to work with the last five years.

Not well at all. DO NOT call this company if you want SPA service. In spite of the name of the company, Stearns Pool and Spa does not work on spas.
Description of Work: The description for this company is misleading--it only handles spas that are attached to pools. Stearns Pool and SPA does not service or work on SPAS.

Excellent!
Description of Work: I used Stearn's Pool service for many years, until I tore down my house to build another one. When I do rebuild, I will again use Stearn's Pool to service the pool. For years, my husband complained about the pool not being clean, and I went through several pool services in the process. Once I switched to Stearn's Pools, I never had any more problems. The last time I used them was to disconnect the pool equipment just before the house was torn down.

Stearns Pools And Spas did an alright job however it took them two tries to get the job done right. In two days after the first repair it broke and they had to come and fix it again. They did the second repair job at no cost. They did a good job explaining what was wrong and what exactly needed to be fixed.

Stearns Pools and Spas have always done good work for me. They keep my pool clean and put in the necessary chemicals. They are polite and are always here when they say they will be. I have been satisfied with them so far. It's nice not to have to worry about the pool, as I know that they are taking care of it.

Overall, I do enjoy this company and use them often. There is not much to say about this company. They are very professional and I do trust them with their work. I have never been given a reason not to trust them. The people are great and they really know what they are doing. I never had to have them come for any problems relating to the work that they have done.
Description of Work: Stearns replaced three pool doors, pilot assembly and gaskets.
