Left him a message on Sunday evening , he was very responsive and called me back Monday morning. When he called I advised him of my burnt out pool pump. He was very professional and let me know that this was not work that he did direct, and gave me the option to refer me someone or he could subcontract out. I opted for the referral, and he directed me to Andy at Blue Lagoon Pools... said he was the best he knows of with the electrical aspects of pools; and very hardworking and reliable. I called Andy - he came out the next day to evaluate the situation, returned the next day with a new pump and squared me away. He even gave me the 10% Angie's discount that James Ralston had advertised... EVEN THOUGH I NEVER MENTIONED OR ASKED FOR IT! These guys were both great!

Highly recommended, Jim does a great weekly service. I've had him maintaining the pool for months. Must say that he is doing an exceptional job even with the old/porous surface I have. I been able to enjoy my pool all summer. Thank you Jim. Frank

After trying and not liking two other pool maintenance companies in 2003/04, I contracted with Jim Ralston in 2004. I've been so happy I found him. One competive flat fee covers everything, including chemicals. If I need a new pump filter, or anything out of the ordinary, Jim lets me know and takes care of it, and puts the expense on the next bill. When I go away for five months, I write a check for each month and give them to him to hold. Family who comes to check on the house during that time always tells me the pool looks great. Jim know pools inside and out and I trust him completly. What I didn't want was any hassle about the pool with large companies with employees who come and go. I have a salt system that makes chlorine and the service rep I originally had kept putting in too much salt each week. I told them it was like swimming in the ocean but nothing would ever change. Jim took a reading and imediately took care of the problem so I could swim within 24 hours. I have received hassle-free care from Jim Ralston for the last 9+ years. It doesn't get any better than that. I whole-hearedly recommend Jim for all your swimming pool maintenance needs.
Description of Work: Weekly pool maintenance since 2004.

In 2008, my family and I moved into a new house. It was our 1st time owning a house with a pool and we were inexperienced. We tried a couple pool service companies that we had heard about but always had problems. Jim put an end to our search. Over the few years he has worked for us we have come to know him and respect his opinion on all matters pool related. I trust that he isn't trying to scam me, and I know if he cannot provide the service I need he will help keep others from trying to scam me as well. He charges a competitive prices and works hard. I strongly recommend anyone in the wellington Area use this man to treat your pool.
Description of Work: Jim has been a valued and honest asset to my household for his professionalism and knowledge in the area of pools. We have used him as a pool serviceman for a few years now and every time a problem arises with the pool he drops whatever he is doing to help us find a solution. He really goes above and beyond any expectations I have as a customer.

Jim Ralston is a long time resident of Village of Wellington since it was first being built in the '80s. Perhaps his military background influences his being dependable... he always arrives when he says he will. He's been servicing my pool for six years. [I recently joined Angie's List] Always explains any questions I have about the chemicals he uses. He warns me when he sees something that needs attention. What's best is that our pool is always sparkling, year round. I think it's the best looking pool in the neighborhood.
Description of Work: Cleaned pool & vacuumed bottom of debris, brings his own equipment Checked pH, etc. and corrected. Cleaned pool filter and does this as needed. Has replaced parts when needed.
