I attempted to resolve my concerns with the company. We originally had them out to detect leaks, prior to home purchase. There were existing putty patches. No new leaks were detected. We purchased the house, later to find out that another company found additional cracks. Golden State offered to repair the found crack with a temporary putty patch. The patch was substandard and washed nearly all the way off. When asked what they used, he said it was a known repair patch for pools. My primary complaint was this company did not set foot in my pool. All "detection" was surface. They should have gotten in the water and leak tested with dye. We would not have purchased this home if we knew the additional amount of cracks present.

Response from GOLDEN STATE LEAK DETECTION
Our report included that your pool was leaking and there where many cracks previous repaired with putty patch by the previous home owner. which is not a professional repair method. I informed you that the land was shifting due to lack of a retainment wall and hillside property . I cautioned you on the original test date was that this pool has many structural issues and leaks were active and detected. New cracks can happen at anytime especially within a years time . A year to date later you called me saying you had another leak test done and there where other cracks found about 20 ft in length. I originally gave you a quote for a professional repair which you did not choose for all cracks in the pool . One year later from the original test date which is now 2 years later. I came back for free to provide a temporary putty patch for no charge . I don't not normally provide putty patching. I choose to offer the free putty patching due to threats of negative reviews and to resolve your issues also why I did not charge you for this because it is not a professional repair more of a DIY home owner approach . You mentioned you did not want to do this your self so I offered to do this for you for no charge. The real estate agent who initially called us for the testing and was present for the testing called us shortly after the appointment to apologize to me and my helper for the way we were treated by you during the inspection process which lasted 4 hours. Below is our report provided to you Swimming Pool Inspection : Before you bought the property this report was given to you . No repairs were made by my company Water loss sensor show water loss in the pool with the system on and the system off at a rate over the evaporating rate of 1/4 inch per day. Indicating passive leaks in the pool frame. There are three pool cracks in the pools shell. Roughly totaling 30ft. The cracks appear to have been filled with pool epoxy putty patching. This is not a structural or long lasting repair method. The patching is only covering the surface like a bandaid. $$$ Price Recommend to drain the swimming pool water cut about 4'' to 8" width and chip out the cracks into the pools frame along the length. Inject a hydrophobic structural repair foam into the voids in the pool shell along the crack. Add reinforcing rebar as needed across the cracks length. Resurface with same pebble blend.6 month warranty. With this repair I would patch the front fountains leaks along the front sides of the water retainment basin and the cracks in the back yard water features concrete. This portion of repairs carries no warranty.

I called Golden State and left a message. They got back to me almost immediately and scheduled the service for the next day. They arrived on time and found the leak quickly and repaired it. The next day I discovered the pool was still losing water, but not as much, and called them back. Once again they responded promptly and found another leak which they also repaired at no extra charge. I was very happy with the service.
Description of Work: Our in-ground vinyl liner pool had a leak.

It went great even though no repair work was done. He even called and talked to the spa company to get some details, did a quick evaluation and didn't notice anything obviously wrong. Then he suggested some experiments to try. All at no charge. Will definitely recommend them and use them again if we have a problem (which, ultimately we didn't).

He was very skillful in splicing in a new piece of pipe, and it's held up fine since he came out. I'd definitely use him again and recommend him to others!

Our backyard swimming pool was in need of care. It had been about 15 years since we had had it painted. We called Eric Bacca from Tropics Pool and Spa for an estimate. Eric made an appointment with us and was able to come the same day. We had a lot of questions about re-painting vs. re-plastering as we weren't sure which way was the way to go. We gave Eric all the concerns we had and he said he would do some research and get back with us. He did give us a quote for re-painting and his estimate was very fair. The next day, Eric called to let us know what he found, that in our case, we would be better served by re-plastering our pool rather that just repainting it. Eric's company does not do re-plastering but he gave us the names of 2 companies that he would recommend for a quote. We called both companies and had them out for estimates. We chose one and they did a great job for us. We really appreciate Eric's honesty and the very ethical way he does business. By doing the best for us, he lost the sale, but not our respect and appreciation! We would recommend Eric and Tropics Pool and Spa to anyone looking for an honest, ethical company to take care of your pool needs. We were very impressed. Thank you again Eric!
Description of Work: Eric came to our home to give us an estimate to have our pool epoxy painted.

Eric is terrific! He arrives on time every week and is very conscientious about keeping everything working well. The pool has never looked better since I hired Eric! He keeps me informed about possible problems and ways to remedy them. He is reasonably priced as well. I would highly recommend Eric.

I've been using them for a couple of months now. I think they're really good. I had to search around a little bit to find a real company that was going to work for me and they worked out so far.

Thank you for your review of our services. Please keep in mind each pool is unique and requires different adjustments for proper maintenance. I strive to keep regular chemical and specialty chemicals cost as low as possible. At times when a pool has an issue either with the water chemistry or equipment it may take a few weeks to dial it in. That is why we have been coming to service your pool free of charge for multiple day weekly visits to ensure a fast turn around & smooth working and enjoyable pool for the summer.

They do a really good service. They usually come out Friday morning, but they are very consistent. They are on the lower side of the price. I have been using them for over 2 1/2 years and they were very open for negotiation. There was a lot of motivation for getting my business. They are very reliable, dependable, and honest which is really a nice concept. They really don't do anything that makes you uncomfortable. They really do a thorough job. I have absolutely no problems with them. They troubleshoot and will do everything as if it was their own spa. Their price is very competitive. It was really just a great service. They are very professional.
Description of Work: I use Tropics Pool and Spa Services for pool cleaning. I continue to use them for weekly service.

Please see above comments.
Description of Work: The spa service is weekly for the past two years. Eric Bacca is a complete professional and has and continues to meet my expectations for spa service. What sets Eric above most service providers is his ability to identify and communicate potential problems with a proactive approach to resolving the issue. I feel that Eric maintains my spa the same way that he would take care of his own. Eric has a key awareness of how to maintain the chemical balance in the water that has saved me on pump and motor replacement expense. I would highly recommend Tropics Pool and Spa Service to anyone that desires top quality service. Thank you Eric
