Really happy with his work, we love our pool. Mario is a perfectionist and it shows. After 6 months, I still can't find a missed detail or anything I would change. He really knows his stuff and has plenty of ideas if, like me, you're not really sure what you want aside from "a pool you can swim in". He had some good suggestions about the pool deck, placement of skimmer and equipment. He was very accommodating for things we asked for that were somewhat out of the ordinary - he told us what most customers ask for and ultimately go with but never pushed a particular brand or design. I definitely never felt pushed into buying something I did not want. Prices were fair - about what you'd expect to pay for pool equipment (which, let's face it people, is never cheap). The final price came in a little lower than the initial estimate. His workmanship and that of his crew is top notch. He was really patient with my wife and I changing our minds regularly.
Description of Work: Replace vinyl pool liner. Dig up and replace skimmer lines and returns. Install LED lighting. Installed 2 new skimmers. Installed new fiberglass stairs. New coping around edge. Installed 2 underwater LED lights. We bought a house with a very neglected in-ground pool. Previous owners hadn't opened it for a few years and it needed some serious help. Mario essentially stripped the pool down to the steel frame and rebuilt it. He added an additional skimmer and additional return to create a slight whirlpool effect that would keep the manual skimming to a minimum. He pulled out the old 1.5" pipes and put in 2" lines. New stairs, new coping. Cool LED lights.

Despite being the busy season, Mario of A-1 Pools was able to schedule me for a Saturday afternoon appt. He and another guy came, evaluated the problem and were able to fix it and have my pool pump properly circulating the water within an hour. He was courteous and patiently explained what the problem was and what was being done. He pointed out a couple of things that will need attention in the future, but was clear that they were not urgent, just giving me a heads up. There was no sales presure whatsoever.
Description of Work: evaluated the problem with my pool pump and fixed it.

They are very professional, and they also actually build pools. I have used other services in the past, and I think that A1 charges a fair price. The quality is very good. The owner is very attentive, but he also has crews that come out and service customers. The crews are competent, thorough and clean. In 10 years, I don't have a lot of complaints, to be honest with you.
Description of Work: A1 Pool Service has been servicing my pool for the last 10 years. He opens and closes my pool, and he was here a couple of weeks ago. This year he also replaced the pool filters, and part of the pump that broke.
