Everything went well. The only delays were weather delays, which wasn't their fault and the work was done very well.
Description of Work: They replastered our pool, cleaned and resealed the coping around the pool as well as installation of a pool heater.

After getting a number of estimates we met with Al who we felt comfortable with right away. Al and his team were very professional throughout the process and accommodating as we made changes here and there during the process. Al always kept us updated and responded quickly to any questions or concerns. Each group Sand Castle sent to work on our pool were so talented and professional. We are beyond thrilled with how the pool turned out and with the over all quality of the workmanship by Sand Castle Pools. I highly recommend Sand Castle Pools to anyone thinking about building a pool.
Description of Work: They totally renovated our pool.

It is great. They have always been right on the spot. I had a pool service before I didn't like, I found them. They bring their own equipment. They are responsive. The pool is perfect. They have a competitive price. They keep the place clean and I appreciate that. The last guy just left garbage in the backyard.
Description of Work: We pay them monthly for full pool service. They come out once a week to maintain the pool.

I called Sandstone Pool Service because of problems with my previous pool service company whom I would not recommend to anyone! Every concern I would tell him about was never addressed, he had an excuse for everything I complained about. When I called Sandstone I had immediate results and I can't be happier. As for our water loss it has been addressed, we do have a leak due to Al (owner) sending a specialist to check our pool. Very nice man and very nice service team. They leave a check list of everything done to my pool so now I can see what is being done. Before I always had green in corners of pool with other company which still services other pools in my neighborhood so he says. Rarely showed up at the same time or would come the day after suppose to show. Like I said always an excuse when I had a concern. Don't know why I didn't let him go sooner. I will definitely stay with Sandstone, am very content with their services.
Description of Work: Succeeded in determining problem with my pool and cleaning it rid of algae problem.

Hiring Al's company was a mistake, I just wish I had joined angies list a month ago and would have known what a poor service company sandstone pool service is.
Description of Work: I hired Sandstone to perform weekly maintenance on my pool. At first all was well, but after about 3 weeks of their service i noticed the technicians were spending less time as reported on their service card. They left comments on how great the pool looked, what chemicals they added etc. After that, they stopped showing up, and when they did, the pool was still full of trash like it hadn't been vacuumed or brushed at all. I called Al, several times, getting a response or answer on the phone was difficult. I sent pictures of the poor services and alga growing in the pool. He seemed concerned at first, but did no actions to resolve the issue. Sandstone has not shown for cleanings for the last two weeks. I believe that Al wants the pool water to go bad so he can charge an outrageous price to get my pool clean again. I asked for a refund and to terminate service on 5/25/12. We will see how this plays out. I filed a complaint with the BBB against Sandstone on 7/1/2012. I also discovered 4 other complaints filed in the last year. A letter to the attorney general will be my next step.

Awfull experience, this company charged me $570 dollars for a timer a $20 dollar piece of equipment at Home Depot. I never gave him an authorization, nor expected for him to take the liberty to do it and charged me such an inflated cost. I discovered his charge on my AMEX statement. I immediatlely asked him to meet me, he never showed up to my house and sent someone else to deal with issue. I called him again for transpassing ( when I specifically told him not to show up until I was home) he never returned my call. AMEX is still disputing charge.
Description of Work: I just subscribe to Angie's list and to my surprise, I noticed the pool service I hired to do my pool service has an "F" rating. I have had similar experiences with this company. He was constantly overchanrging my credit card account for services I knew were not being done. This company is great a selling their services and showing up at the beginning; however, when issues start, he is extremely difficult to reach and to come by and discuss solutions face to face.

There was questionable service that led to the final firing of this company. For instance, I have a fully functional chlorinator which they never used. Instead they put the tabs in the skimmer baskets. Why? They were also careless about leaving the gate open and my dog would escape. There were several promises of cleaning the filter cartridges that didn't get fulfilled. So I ended doing it myself. Isn't that what he was paid to do? Yes. I asked them to replace the burned out light bulb, and it never got done. I did it myself. The final problem was related to the filter. In June he said the cartridges would be cleaned one last time and new ones would be ordered and installed in July. Neither the cleaning of the old ones nor the installation of new ones took place. Instead I had technicians telling me the pressure was getting to high. I asked him to check with the owner to see why the new cartridges had not been installed. I never got an answer. On August 10th I was told there was a hole in my filter case. I tried to patch it. Of course that didn't work. I wrote the owner an email and a snail mail letter voicing my complaint and received NO response. I have hired a new company and they are replacing my filter all because of this guy's negligence and lack of follow through. How I wish I'd checked Angie's list before I hired him last year. Stay as far away Sandstone Pool Service as possible.
Description of Work: I hired this company to take care of my weekly pool maintenance. At first they okay. But that didn't last very long. There was a constant turnover of technicians. The day of the week services were provided was often changed as well. This made it difficult to plan pool events.

At the beginning he was responsive but when he could not solve the algae problem he started ignoring calls. I had paid him for 4 sessions (1 /week). After 2 sessions and the water not getting any better I told him I did not need his services any more. He refused to refund the unused $70 and threaten me if I gave him a bad review. Note that I was dealing with the owner of the company! Stay away from this guy!
Description of Work: I was having problems with algae in my pool so I searched for pool companies that would take care of the problem. Decided on this company because the owner seemed like a nice responsible person. After an initial treatment the pool never got better. He came back twice and the pool was still a mess. I still had a lot of problems with algae and the pool stayed dirty. The only way I would get the pool clean is by adding more and more chemical. (BTW, it is a salt water pool). He told me that it would take weeks for the problem to get resolved. this did not sound right since I have several friends who have a salt water pool who don't have this issue and if they do, it gets resolved fast. Finally I asked another pool company and they solved my problem with no chemicals at all. I did not even have to hire them. I just needed to run the chlorine generator longer.
