Recently purchased an FR550 CBR Polaris Freedom Cordless Robotic Cleaner to replace our 7-year-old shark. The shark had been fine but age took its toll. It was difficult to clean properly and we had trouble maintaining the rubber rollers. The new cordless model is EXCELLENT. Charges on a stand. allows you to turn on and place in the water, cleans the pool better than the old one, is so easy to clean out the one basket, and best of all...No cord to trip over. It is simple to remove from the pool with a hook supplied for you net pole. We are really excited about this new tool, and Gallaghers treated us well with the price. So Easy... Thanks, Randy!
Description of Work: Bought a self-cleaner for the pool.

Had Gallaghers replace a pool heater in May 2022 for $3500. In September of 2022 the pool heater starting leaking so I placed a call to them to come out since it was under a 2 year warranty. The technician tells me that my pool water isn’t balanced and my warranty is no longer valid. Weird considering I have my water tested by Gallaghers and purchase whatever chemicals they tell me are needed. So they want to charge me $3000 to repair or another $3500 to replace the existing pool heater that I have only had for one summer. Randy the owner called and was very unpleasant as he refused to replace my heater under the warranty and then had the nerve to bill me $140 for a service call. I have used Gallaghers for over 15 years and this will be the last time. I would recommend finding another pool company that stands behind the pride they sell.

It could not have went any better....I called on Wednesday afternoon and they were at my house and the work was completed by Thursday afternoon. From phone call to execution it could not have been a better experience.

I've used several pool service companies over the last 12 years, and Gallagher tops them all. They are responsive; when I call, a person answers the phone and either handles my issue on the spot or refers me to someone who can. They are reliable; they come when they say they will, or contact me in advance if an issue arises. Their technicians are competent; our pool is complex, and they have staff able to both maintain it in working order and diagnose and fix problems. They are perfectionists; if something isn't right, they either fix it or refer me to someone who can. They lay out their charges in detail so I know what I pay for. Hire them!

If you place a special order sometimes it takes a long time for it to arrive; but it is that way with everybody. They are always willing to help me with my problems and if I need service they usually are here the next day. They are prompt, professional and courteous. They clean up after themselves and put my equipment away where I want it; I don't have to do it myself. They have walk-in sales.
Description of Work: I used Gallagher Pool Service to close my swimming pool for the season. I also buy my chemicals from them and I take my water samples to them. They run the water samples and tell me what I need to put in the pool.

They will be back out to open it this month. They also do the maintenance and repairs for my pool. I have been using them for 20 years. They access items that need repaired or replaced and offer you options to get them done. They show up when they say they are going to.

Very nice, professional job. Very pleased
Description of Work: Elmer and Emmet appeared a little after 10 am. They were here for two hours and knew exactly what they were doing. Their job was to close an winterize our pool. They did very professional work, and Elmer was extremely nice. Would definitely use them again. Price was a little higher than quoted, however.

MY OVERALL EXPERIENCE WITH GALLAGHER WAS VERY FAVORABLE. THE PEOPLE THAT COMPLETE THE WORK ARE YOUNG KIDS AND I AM ALWAYS SUSPECT, BUT THEY COMPLETE THEIR WORK EFFICIENTLY AND THEY SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT.
Description of Work: GALLAGHER POOLS CAME AND CLOSED OUR POOL FOR THE WINTER. THEY ALMOST COMPLETELY DRAINED THE POOL, CHECKED ALL OPERATING SYSTEMS AND COVERED THE POOL WITH THE AUTOMATIC POOL COVER. THEY ALSO PUT AN ADDITIONAL MESH COVER OVER THE POOL. THEY CHECKED THE HEATER AND REMOVED AND STORED THE DIVING BOARD.
