Thieves. I can't describe anything other than how this company operates. I requested someone to come out to look at the liner, and the tech was here no more than 5 minutes to talk me out of spending money because he didn't think there was a leak judging by the waterline. I offered to pay half the invoice for the time to come out. Rizzo continued to charge the whole hour and hung up on me. Won't ever be dealing with these thieves they call a business.
I don't see it this way, and your diver, to paraphrase, told me that it's not worth paying me to go in to examine for something. Commute time is something your company absorbs as the cost of doing business. You hung up on me and didn't want to work this out.

Rizzo Pool gave me an outstanding service. Not only they kept their promises, but also treated me with respect, professionalism and diligence. They have a great and talented team that is always on top of every matter. Since the very first day I spoke with Andrew, my experience was excellent. They told me everything as it is. No lies, no hidden costs. The amount I paid was exactly what they told me since the very first day.!
Even more important: they control their team schedule and timing. That is why they were able to built my pool in the same exact time I was told. Other houses in the complex where I live started Pool projects with other companies way earlier than me. and still no Pool is ready for them. Mine is ready, completed and exactly how I wanted it to be. Dan, Edgar, Angel and the whole team made my experience great!. What a profesional team they are!

Worst experience ever if I could not rate them I'd give them a negative number! Had an appointment for may 6 we're new home owners they never gave us a time and all of a sudden we look out side to see our tarp off and our hose moved and chemicals dumped all over our yard! I'm disgusted to call this pool I own a rizzo pool. And you should be ashamed to conduct business like this

Service is abysmal. Do not uss them for repairs. I've been blown off on several service calls, and every time I have not been notified they're even coming, they just come out. Every time getting them to come out has been pulling teeth. Additionally, after 3 visits they still have not fully fixed my hottub.
