Took sides off hot tub, complained about the difficult access being near the deck (isn't that where you want your hot tub?), told me critters were in there, many leaks, only solution was for him to pick it up with his cool equipment, move it to his shop and fix everything $ 3500 while there, but $ 3600 when he sent proposal via email. Also offered to buy it for $ 500. Lots of fast talk. Asked him about checking the leak in our swimming pool, he said that cost $ 500 and he didn't want to do that until we did the hot tub. THEN I Got a second opinion from Sundance Spas - fixed a broken pipe while there on first visit by the drain (called 5 hours before) for $ 197 - good as new. This guy was playing me. I know he works on other tubs in the area - pretty disappointed about his lack of integrity here.
Description of Work: Scheduled repair call on hot tub, never showed. Scheduled again, and after a few calls, he did show up.

Response from SHS Pool & Spa Service
I would like to point out that the customer WAS NOT CHARGED for any services. There was no billable work performed. No money was involved. I am sorry the customer feels as if Elden was not friendly and honest. This was an estimate only. Elden did not offer to buy the hot tub; he offered to haul it away. That is a service that we offer and it costs between $500 and $550. The complete damage to the hot tub was not able to be fully assessed by Elden due to the positioning of the hot tub and the decking. He was telling her that it was impossible for him to give a complete analysis of the problem right then and there. Yes, there would be a considerable expense to remove the entire hot tub and transport it back to the shop to assess where the leak or leaks may be, because it's a lot of work. We are happy that she she had a repair done for such an amount of money. Hot tub leaks can be a tricky thing especially if not all components are properly tested to make sure ALL leaks are detected and therefore repaired. He was simply stating to the customer that it needed to be determined if there was one leak or multiple leaks. That's when customers have to decide if it's worth paying what could be a considerable sum of money to have all the parts of a leaky hot tub tested; take a gamble that it may only be one leak that is the first one found; or simply junk the hot tub and have it hauled away. We are sorry that this customer was not satisfied with what Elden said; however, the VAST MAJORITY of our ratings are A ratings. There are bound to be customers who are not satisfied from time to time. Our consistent excellent ratings speak for themselves.

We are very impressed and satisfied with the work performed by Elden and his assistant. On his first visit to evaluate what we needed to have done, Elden was very thorough and informative as well as making good suggestions on how to proceed. The company's price estimate was prompt and complete, and the service was quickly scheduled. The new pool heater is working very well and the rerouted plumbing makes our access to the filter system much easier. We have been pool owners for a long time, and we are so happy to finally find a pleasant, knowledgeable, and efficient company to work with.
Description of Work: Elden installed a new pool heater, repaired filter and replaced sand, replaced leaky seal on pump, fixed associated plumbing.

The owner was very pleasant to deal with. Very honest and we will be working with him to try and figure out what we need to do to get our hot tub running. UPDATED - see comments above - Learned that this guy was not honest or at least if he thought he was being honest that means he did not know what he was doing. I would not recommend using this company.
Description of Work: The owner will have to come out another time to put the motor in and see if that works. I am updating my review since I did it last. We got a second opinion because this guy said we needed a new motor and it was not worth it that we should just buy a whole new spa. He also said our heater was broke. The person that gave us a second opinion was able to fix the motor for less than 200.00 and install it and set up the spa. He also said that the person from SHS put it in wrong after he had taken it out too look at it. Also there was nothing wrong with our heater. This was a 10,000 hot tub and this guy from SHS could have made us lose a lot of money.

Excellent service - they did all I ask, and that's deliver what they said they would do, and at a competitive price. Eldon showed up when he said he would for both the estimate and the pool service. Proactively communicated status updates between quote acceptance, through completion of the work, and even followed up after the work was done to make sure everything went ok. Very pleased with the result and the professional service.

We acquired a hot tub that we were unaware was not working. SHS came out on 3 separate occasions, the last time on a Sunday, to work with our "problem child" tub until they were able to fix it. They were always on time, dressed very professional, and were very courteous. We always have a lot of kids around and the owner went out of his way to humor them with his truck horn! (they loved it!)Their service was fantastic, and they exhausted all other options before finally deciding we needed knew parts. Most companies seem to want you to just spend as much money as possible, but SHS was truly customer oriented. The owner came himself to replace the parts and came on a Sunday afternoon because he knew we had been working on this tub for awhile. He was extremely knowledgeable and was able to fix the problem quickly and cleaned up after himself when he was finished. I would highly recommend SHS Pool Service, and their parent company Super Handyman Services for everything!

Elden was great. Fast, efficient, and knowledgeable. We are first time pool owners and have no idea on how to care for a pool. Elden opened our pool for the summer. He took time to explain and teach me how to care for my pool along with re-clipping the liner in place and taking the water out of the pool light. We have since hired him to repair one of our employee's spas and are looking forward to working with him on putting a spa in for us.

My only problem with Eldon, who has been servicing our hot tub for the 7 years we have had it, is getting a response on the first contact to set up the appointment. Other than that he is very professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. This time he was even a few minutes early for the appointment and went straight to work. When a leak was discovered there was no "we will have to come back". He went to Royal Spa, purchased the part needed and repaired it the same morning.

This company has the equipment to do jobs that others cannot do. Eldon explained all the repairs he knew the spa needed, as well as possible things he could not see until he tore it apart. He was up front about the costs. Although it seemed expensive, the only alternative was removal and start over which ultimately would have cost far more. The weather was dreadful so the job took longer than expected, but that was certainly not their fault.

The owner, Elden, was present for the entire process which involved 5 on-site visits. Our pool had leaked to the ground water level over the winter and looked like a disaster. I was worried to the point that I considered a large truck full of dirt. Elden's re-assuring manner and in-depth knowledge eased my concerns completely. He definately measured twice to ensure a perfect fit. The pool is up and running today with no problems that I can see. This pool is 23 years old and this is the 3rd liner so you can imagine the state of the floor etc. I'm confident that I will see many more years after SHS's outstanding performance. Elden and Sarah his wife obviously care a great deal about their company and therefore are an outstanding choice when it comes to your pool. By the way...it is an inground vinyl lined pool.
Description of Work: Installed new lilner and did a VERY good job prepping the bottom prior to install. Was able to order the liner and schedule the work in less than 3 weeks, beating my former pool company by 2 months. CHECKED FOR SUSPECTED LEAK and solved at no additional cost. Inspected liner for wrinkles etc. by scuba diving in 52 degree water!!! Knowledge of pools is VERY impressive. Will definately use again and recommend to anyone. Owner did the bulk of the work.

I used this company last season and have already signed up for this season. This will be our third year with him and I pay by the year. My overall experience has been excellent. Every once in a while if something goes wrong it is a call. The owner has come out himself on weekends to fix something. If I have an event or something and need it fixed he will come. He does have assistants, but Eldon himself is just phenomenal.

They do a great job! I like that they even clean the cover, so it looks nice. Elden knows a great deal about the various chemicals that are needed and how to keep the water in balance. I gave "professionalism" a "B" because sometimes the guys don't always look like someone you would want in your yard, but Elden has now provided them with bright blue shirts with the company logo and this has helped identify them to our neighbors who were skeptical at first. Elden is polite and easy to contact by phone, text, or email. He has been very responsive to our needs.

SHS, Eldon did a great job managing my expectations. He diagnosed the problem and visually showed me the issues. He also walked me through what needed to be done and the total cost before starting the repairs. In addition he identified other issues and educated me on the impact if I did not repair soon. No pressure to purchase the services and additional repairs he recommended. He was clearly very knowledgeable and skilled. His pricing was fair and comprehensive. He did not nickel and dime as well providing additional services like cleaning and repairing a leak at no or little charge. I would use SHS again and they are now my go to for any future hot tub repairs.
Description of Work: Repaired my 12-year old outdoor hot tub. The tub was tripping my circuit breaker so I drained it and researched repair services on Angie's list. He address animal related wire repair, leaks, and two defective motors. Also cleaned and sanitized tube.

.Great, no major problems. Eldon was easy to work with, he used a couple of guys to do the heavy lifting (sandblasting etc..) Sandblasting created a mess but they cleaned up nicely. He also closed the pool for the season. He was pricier than the other bids but overall good value for the money. They hauled off old equipment as well. Timing was perfect, weather held out and they were able to get in an out in a reasonable time frame. less than a week. The ultimate test will be how long the paint job lasts, it had been 10 years since I last painted the pool. I probably should have repainted a couple of years ago, so if I get 7-8 years before peeling I will be thrilled.
Description of Work: Sandblasted my 1957 gunnite pool and painted it. Also replaced the plumbing and some equipment. Cost of the sand filter was included in the bid as well as the plumbing. Removed old heater and capped off the gas line. I didn't replace it as the size of the pool and deck doesn't allow for a automatic cover.

It went well! No problems, even though it was a challenging job! It involved disconnecting the tub, draining it, and moving it onto a trailer to be hauled away. It had been installed into some decking so that was also removed. It went very smoothly.
