When a tradesman takes each obstacle in stride and keeps coming up with solutions, you gotta just sit back and say thank you. They could have left the job incomplete over the weekend, but didn't want us to be disappointed.
Description of Work: I called Olen a month before the closing on my new purchase in Boynton Beach. The house has a spa separate from the pool. I was closing the Friday before Memorial Day and wanted everything up and running for the holiday weekend. I needed a spa heater, re-plumbing of the pumps and valves, clean up of both spa and pool, all pool equipment, water analysis and balancing, electrical upgrade to accommodate the new spa heater. Olen and Mark arrived on schedule and worked to get everything going for me before the end of the day. They were friendly, patient and persistent in solving each obstacle that came up. Mark did the electrical work, and performed a small miracle in overriding a non-functioning timer to give me an on/off switch so the spa would be fully functional over the weekend. On Tuesday, Olen returned to finish up, including installing a replacement timer and giving me instructions in how to use it. We had a great weekend in our new house!

I had been a customer of Basic Pool since 4/2000 and was very satisfied with the company and service. New owners took over in the summer of 2011. Communications fell apart, service suffered, frequent turnover in pool techs, unsolicited, overpriced and unnecessary parts were replaced and overpriced labor charges ($85 per hour) were invoiced. Efforts to resolve billing issues proved futile with threats of putting a lien on my property if payment was not made immediately. I now go to Leslie's pool for supplies and do my own pool service.

Response from BASIC POOL & SPA SUPPLY
Customer received many/several repairs to his equipment with no labor/service charges. Service for pool service was $100.00/mo. The first time we sent a bill for a service charge he requested, customer cancelled service. He cancelled service at end of month and then did not want pay the final months service bill of $100.00 claiming he already paid it. We waited 5 months patiently for payment without charging a late fee. Our service rate of $85.00/hour is average for pool repairs. We are competitive with other companies in the area. Our right to lien property was more than justified due to 5 months of non-payment. After we invited his attorney to meet with us the customer finally admitted to being wrong and paid. Olen Miles
