I originally called another vendor initially but after describing the problem, they didn't do what I needed to have done so they referred me to The Pool Guys. I called and got a return call from Frank. I described my problem and we set up a time for him to come look at. He was prompt. He took one look at the pool and said it just needed to be drained and new water put in. After checking the filter, we agreed we needed a new one that was more efficient and would help keep the water clean. A week later I had clean water and a new filter. Frank was very professional and called before coming over to be sure the dog wasn't out. I would recommend him to anyone.
Description of Work: I could not get the chemicals in my pool stable. The filter wasn't cleaning adequately either. I thought I might have to have the pool resurfaced.

Description of Work: We use them for our weekly pool service. My sole complaint would be that they use too much chlorine. However, I have never asked for them to use less. Our pool never looks less than spectacular and is always ready for use.

Hello [member name removed] I believe you may have the wrong pool service company. We don't service the Herald area and never have. We service the greater South Sac area. Please call me so that we may clear this up. Thank you. Sincerely, Connie Woods Office Manager The Pool Guys Service 916-690-5777

He talked about what he'd like to see done with my system, and what he would do. He spent a lot of time 15-20 minutes, telling me what he'd would do. Talked and talked..I asked him his price for service and he told me and quot;I am not taking any new pools right now. and quot; REALLY? I don't understand the logic in the visit. If he didn't want to service another pool, why bother taking up my/his time? Strange, very strange.
Description of Work: He came by to give me a cost for service.

Response from THE POOL GUYS SERVICE
This is Frank, the owner of The Pool Guys Service, and this is in response to [removed members name] review. When taking on a new customer, I first have to think about my employees and their safety, like dogs, obstacles in the pathway to the pool, etc., etc. Then I look around the property for trees and/or foliage that would cause problems when it comes to the actual service. I look at the overall condition of the pool, the condition of the plaster and any algae issues. Then I take a look at the pool equip. In [removed members name] case, she has a very small filter, AND it is a sand filter. Problem! The backwash system consists of taking a hose out to the yard. Problem! I had to walk or jump over many obstacles just to get to the equipment. Problem!I While I was giving her some good advice and made a suggestion to her that she should let me help her by changing the filter and perhaps letting me clean up the plumbing so that it would run more efficient, she made it very clear that she did not want to make any changes nor was she interested in putting any money into it at all. Problem! She just wanted me to take over the service. Bottom line is, I spent 15 minutes trying to explain to her that unless she made some changes, I could not and would not take on her pool service. For me this is a "problem" pool, and I cannot afford to take on problem pools. So, to you, [removed members name], I gave you some good advice. You didn’t want to hear it. I am sorry you felt I wasted your time. Sincerely, Frank Woods

Hello [member name removed], Thank you for considering us for your pool needs and please accept our apology for not responding to your message in a timely manner. We very seldom get on Angie's List, and by the time we did, two months had passed so we just assumed you had hired someone else by then. Also, unfortunately, we don't service the Elverta area. I hope you were taken care of either way. Sincerely, Connie Woods

After decades of maintaining my (in-ground) swimming pool, I've been using The Pool Guys Service for 13 months and I'm happy so far. Owners Connie and Frank are gracious and professional. With each weekly visit, the service person leaves a written notation of my pool's water condition and the work done. As a retired person, I'm grateful for the Senior Discount.

I believe you may have the wrong pool service company. First of all, we don't charge $120 for pool service. We only charge $100-$110. Also, we don't have any pools in the Fair Oaks area. Please let us know if Frank Woods, the owner, is the person you actually spoke to and would have hired to service your pool. Thank you.

My 34 year-old DE filter got overloaded and “blew out”, leaving a coating of DE over the bottom of my pool. I attempted to vacum out the DE, algae and leaves and collect it in my filter, but that didn't work. I couldn't cope with the problem, so I searched Angie's List and found The Pool Guys Service. I called the owner, Frank Woods, who responded. He understood my problem immediately and came that day to check the situation and give me an estimate, He convinced me that I should replace the old DE filter and gave me an estimate which included a new cartridge filter, hauling away the old “junk”, vacuuming the DE and debris out of the pool, draining the pool , refilling the pool and balancing the chemicals. He agreed to start the next week and was there as promised. The job proceeded as planed and on schedule. My pool is beautiful again and the new filter works perfectly. He had the experience and knowledge to attack my problem efficiently and make it easy on me.
Description of Work: Installed a new cartridge filter for my pool to replace an old DE filter, and hauled away the old filter parts. Vacuumed the DE and debris from my pool and drained all the water, refilled the pool and balanced the chemicals. Checked to make sure everything was done and working properly.

He did efverything he said he would do from the start. WE drained the pool and he pressured water cleaned the pool before we filled it back up for $150.00 and has been doing the weekly service since then. The company has a fleet of service trucks and employees. I am happy with the company.
Description of Work: Out previous pool service guy just quit and disappeared. As a result the pool became green with algae, and the Pool Guys Service responded quickly and assessed the problem and recommended that the pool be drained and started up again. This was done in December 2012 and have been providing weekly service since then through May 13, 2013. They are great! Frank the co Owner and his wife the other co Owner ar great to work with. When I requested a new pool sweep Frank came and installed it himself right away.

Job was quick, under 2 hours. From start (contact) to completion 2 days, fantastic
Description of Work: Frank was out to do initial evaluation. He recommended Tom take a look at the problem which was an old (1970's) 3 way valve that needed replacement. Valve was just barely above concrete; which was the problem, the valve diffused water between pool and Water for slide. Tom created a creative fix and all is working great. I would definitely recommend The Pool Guys.

I called The Pool Guys because my large in ground pool had turned green. I spoke to the office manager, Connie, and explained my problem. She very kindly contacted Frank right away and he came by my home within the hour. He examined my pool and equipment and advised me that the pool pump was broken which is why the pool was green. Frank recommended that I replace my outdated, noisy, energy wasting pool equipment rather than just replacing the motor in the pump. He spent quite a bit of time explaining that newer energy efficient equipment would save me money in the long run and also be quieter and work better in keeping the pool clean. Frank's prices are fair as I called a few other companies and their prices were around the same for a new pump and filter with installation. I called Frank back on Tuesday, he came by that Thursday with his professional installer and installed the new equipment. Frank also brought my green pool back to blue again at no additional charge without draining the pool. Our pool has never looked as good as it goes right now - the water is clear and blue, and we hardly hear the new pump running. We are very happy with our new pool equipment and with the wonderful service we received from Frank and Connie at the Pool Guys and will be using this company for weekly pool service. I highly recommend this company to anyone looking for any type of service for their pool. Frank is a real professional who really knows pools.
Description of Work: Evaluated my green pool and advised me that my pool pump motor was burn out. Advised me that it would be more efficient and economical to replace my outdated energy draining pump and filter with modern efficient equipment, rather than just replacing the motor in my old pump. Frank replaced my pool pump and filter with new energy efficient equipment. He also cleaned up the green pool so that it is sparkling blue at no additional charge.

I called around trying to get someone to clean my pool right away. The Pool Guys answered when I called and came the same afternoon to see the pool. They recommended draining the pool and started working on it right then and came back late that night to continue the process. They finished in just a couple of days, and it looks beautiful. They seemed very knowledgeable and experienced. I might hire them for weekly service.
Description of Work: Drained swimming pool filled with algae and debris, pressure washed the plaster, filled then added chemicals.

About 10-days later, he recommended that the pool be drained due to green water. This was done and the pool was refilled. This was the first time that I had the pool water drained and refilled in 48 years. He then added and balanced the necessary chemicals to the new water. Suffice to say, the water is now clear and blue and new equipment functioning well.
Description of Work: On 7/1/08 Frank Woods of the Pool Guys Service replaced my 45 year old pool pump and motor that was leaking badly and also my 38 year old DE filter that was having its problems too. He installed an energy efficient Pentair 1/2 hp whisperflow pump and the Pentair 420 sq ft cartridge filter for my 20,000 gallon pool. After researching this equipment myself, I thought it would be a good combination for my old equipment.
