I have been a loyal customer of Swimming Pool Services (SPS) for for over 8 years. I submitted a request for service and potential repair work at SPS last summer. Each time I shop at the store I inquire about my request only to be told that it has been moved it to the top of the list. The last time I asked I was told to find someone else. I understand that there is a shortage of people willing to work and alot of companies are short staffed. I find that to be no excuse for leading me on so long before telling me they don't want my business. me but

Very competent and prompt service. This company gets the job done and know what they're doing. I've been maintaining our 22,000 gallon, vanishing edge pool for 12 years one my own - the pool builder went BK and I had to complete start up and maintain. As a result, I know how to repair and maintain the in-floor cleaning and Jandy salt system myself. I've tried a couple of other companies when I was out of town and needed help. These guys came through for me - thank you!

We are fisti time pool owners and the staff here is very patient and helpful with us. They even brought out a cart to help take pool salt to my car. I stop by every couple of weeks to have them test my pool water and they are always friendly and explain if there is anything I need to add or to do my pool.

Earlier in the year, I called and successfully set up an appointment to have someone look at my hot tub. However, the weather took a turn and the appointment had to be postponed. Today, I called back and the lady who answered told me that my hot tub was too old for them to look at - which may be true. However, her rationale was "once you fix one thing, another one just pops." I kid you not.a service company doesn't want multiple issues to service. She's not in sales, but she's no better at customer service. She didn't want my business and, lucky for her, she won't be getting it.

Only one star. I wouldn't have given even a one star! These people cut off my pool ladder and rain that was on the steps going into the pool when they came to close it at the end of the year. Today they came to open it and were supposed to put ladder and rail back on, as well has fix a pipe that is letting water out. They left a ROCK on top of the leak and told us to go to Lowe's to buy a pipe. They didn't put the handrail back on bc of a crack in the cement. (Which they should've seen before taking it off when they closed the pool) so now, there is a big sharp piece of metal coming up out of our concrete. The ladder has a huge gap. It's totally UNACCEPTABLE. I would not recommend these people.
