Work was performed quickly and correctly. However, I was charged $550 for a Chlorine Generation Cell that can be purchased on Amazon for $250 (identical new cell). Installation is very simple (15 min) and warranties are identical. I purchased the cell on Amazon and Howards refunded my money and replaced the cell they installed with the old one. They would not install my new cell so I will do it myself. Just saved $300.

They come weekly. It is a weekly ongoing service that I have. If you have a problem they come right out so they are very responsive. They work with you to find out what the problem was. The difference between this company was they had a guy who came out and put too much acid in the pool. My husband called and said his eyes were burning. So they came out and tested the pool and there was too much. I don't think this was the first time because they fired him. I don't think we were the only person who had the problem. We did keep him for awhile but thy ended up firing him because he was not good. When the other company was like well its fine. They came right out and it was not our problem. it was not like you don't know what you are talking about. They are very responsive and they look at you. They resolve it they it. Either they retrain the person or they fire them. Really they are very good. Every time we call them they come right out. It is not like we are waiting for days. So repressiveness is very important. They respond to the problem and they take care of it.
Description of Work: They just checked the pool, and cleaned the pool.

I pay $100 a month, or $25 a week. They get all A's. Responsiveness, they get right out. I would use them again. I am still using them.
Description of Work: They come out and test the pool, and clean it once a month. They test the water and take care of the chemicals. If there is an issues they come out, if there is an issue with the timer or something.

Diver was unable to replace the main drain cover because he said "they don't make main drain covers that are up to code" for many fiberglass pools. This seemed unlikely to me. Nevertheless his temporary solution was to block off my main drain, which he did, and to rely solely on the skimmer for water circulation. Of course now if the water goes below the level of the skimmer, my pump will burn out.
Description of Work: Provider repaired filter cartridge housing, chlorinator O ring and dived in pool to try to fit a main drain cover.

Description of Work: Howard's Pool Service has been our pool maintenance provider for the past six months. I recently pressure washed my lanai sending a great deal of sand into the pool. This sand completely plugged up my pool's filter system. Howard's responded immediately and cleaned out my entire system.I felt terrible in that there was so much sand I thought I'd better help and clean it out myself. Their maintenance representative assured me that that was his job and he was happy to do it.besides providing weekly maintenance on my pool I have also had Howard's provide a heated blanket and replace filters as necessary and they have always provided prompt, professional and necessary services. I've noticed a great deal of competition in the area for Pool Maintenance, however I can't imagine going anywhere else.

As our new home's pool was seldom used and somewhat neglected by previous owner, I selected the highest of three program offerings. Within first month Howard's World technicians completely rejuvenated our new home's pool. After establishing themselves as being a reliable, customer oriented service provider I replaced the previous inexpensive service recommended by our home's sellers. Howard's World year-long prepay option was a reasonably priced high-end offer we're glad we accepted. I love not having to worry about a thing and our weekly technician appears to love what she's doing. I'll let you know after a year of this program!
Description of Work: Within first month they've completely rejuvenated our new home's pool. Replaced broken jet, recommended good pump technician, complete weekly check of pool's chemical levels adding as needed, filter cleaning, iron treatment and stain removal. Appreciate supervisors consistently checking on our satisfaction with technician wand project's status.

They are the absolute best. They come once a week to service my swimming pool. They are one of the leading pool services companies here. Anytime there is the slightest problem, I can call them and there is someone to help me over the phone. I know nothing about swimming pools and they have helped me learn about how to operate the timer and use the chemicals. Once the water in the pool had gotten too low and it was making a funny noise. I called them and they told me exactly what was wrong and told me how to add water in the pool. They very easily could send someone out here and charge me forty dollars for a service call. They don't do that. They help me over the phone. They don't overcharge me, but help me over the phone.

The service I received went very well. They were very thorough and were happy to answer any questions I may have had. They showed up every Friday morning on time.
Description of Work: Good professional outfit. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I used them for about 8 months and was very satisfied, but I starting doing the work myself due to financial reasons. They have three tier plans. The plan I chose was the full service plan for $120 every 4 weeks. The other plans are $105 and $95. I would highly recommend Howards Pool World if you are looking for pool service in Charlotte County, Florida.

They are very big. They will also do big repairs for additional fees. They have replaced the pool motor. They are great but it depends on the service tech. I'm on my third service tech since I started using them 1 1/2 years ago. The first guy and the guy I'm using now are excellent. The second guy was all right but not as good as the other two guys. Their price is very good and does include all chemicals. They are very responsive and professional. I will absolutely continue to use them.
Description of Work: I use Howard's Pool World weekly for pool service. The monthly service includes vacuuming the pool and brushing the sides and cleaning of the pool. The other three weeks the sides are brushed. They always check the chemicals and if chemicals are needed they are covered in the monthly fee I pay. They also look at the water level in the pool and add more when needed.
