Very hard to get owner on phone and I see several people said that in different reviews here. Service was mediocre all summer. I had to call several times to say that the pool was not scrubbed properly on the ladder steps and on the sides. Also empty chlorine buckets were left on the side of the pool patio and not disposed of. My house was for sale (at the end of the summer) and I wanted my pool to look great for the few weeks left so if they could not come back fast enough I had to do it myself. I used this company on a weekly basis to maintain my pool all summer from April - early September. Eventually, I called to have my pool closed and they were not available to do it for several weeks. Since we weren't going to swim in it anymore, I didn't want to spend the extra money to maintain it for the extra few weeks so I chose to close to pool with the help of my son and his friend who actually works as a pool maintenance person for several summers. NOW THEY ARE PUNISHING ME FOR NOT HAVING THEM CLOSE MY POOL and the owner Chris won't even return a phone call. That is totally unprofessional. Since I sold my house when the pool was already closed, some money was put in escrow till the pool was opened to ensure that it was in good working order. So J B was paid to open the pool (April 2017) at my suggestion, ( because they had maintained the pool all last year so I felt they should open the pool). After the pool was opened, I called asking for a letter stating that the pool was in good working order after opening. My phone calls go unanswered by the owner and the message from the secretary is that Chris won't give me a letter because he didn't close the pool last summer. This makes no sense since I am asking him to state whether the pool is in good working order now; having nothing to do with last year. But as I stated, he is punishing me. He is saying the pool needs acid washing which 1) was never recommended to me & 2) has nothing to do with the working order of the pool. As you see from the picture taken by neighbor THIS YEAR! My recommendation is DO NOT USE J B POOLS from Seaford. There are plenty of pool companies who will do a better job, and appreciate your business for what it is, and know that you are under no obligation to use them every single week, or to open or to close the pools. You should be able to use a pool company how you need to use them, as long as you pay their fee.

Description of Work: They did the acid wash and cleaning. We bought the house with a pool with no knowledge about pool working and maintenance. Pool guys came and gave us crazy numbers to open our pool. JB pools comes in talks to the point and does to complete satisfaction. We have given them the contract for the entire summer now. |

Description of Work: We had been disappointed with our prior pool service company for a number of years. We decided to look around and used angie's list for the first time. We were very pleased using Angie's, and plan to use JR for all future pool needs. Very nice company and personnel.

His work is good and he is very reliable because he calls about 50 people before he gets somebody to come over my house.
Description of Work: I use J B Pools for pool services, and the person that I deal with is Chris. The last time I used him, he replaced the vinyl liner in my pool.

Pool parts incorrectly installed , overpriced charges for equipment, very hard to get the owner on the phone and review problems with leaks and malfunctioning equipment.
Description of Work: pool heater element not properly installed and tested , chlorination lines leaking, hap hazard pool opening. After calls about malfunctioning gas pool heater, the owner of the company referred me to another company to look into the problem without inspecting the work they just did ( totally not acceptable).
