First, the compliments -- everyone at the shop was friendly, the fellows who cleaned the pool did a nice job, and pool was clear all season. Price of cleaning seemed industry standard for this area.
However, early in the season the Polaris stopped working. At first we thought it was a problem with the timer. We had left this up to Dana to set so weren't familiar with how it worked. The timer was replaced only after several weeks of calling, and even going to the business once to speak with an employee in person. Once the timer was fixed, it became apparent that the Polaris itself was broken (not really sure if the timer was broken or if we just didn't know how to operate it). Under previous owner, the guys cleaning the pool would have noticed this, alerted us (if we didn't already know) and offer to repair (which we would have done). Instead, we called the shop three times over a few weeks with promises from staff to have the Polaris repaired, but nothing happened. Then we went to the shop in person three times to ask to have it repaired -- speaking with the service manager on two of those occasions -- and no one ever came to repair it. It finally got so late in the season, we couldn't really switch services or go elsewhere, so we just put up with no Polaris for the remainder of the season.
The pool deck and pool liner replacement were very good. However, a fountain was to be installed by a provider subcontractor. The fountain didn't work and was removed leaving a pipe sticking out of the cement deck.
The concrete replacement on the driveway appeared to be very good but we found a 15 foot crack in the driveway. We contacted the provider, Great Neck Pools and have been promised that the driveway crack in would be fixed by replacing the concrete in March of 2014.
