They are way over priced, it always took weeks for them to get to me, and they always left a mess. I had bought a new pool from them. In the first year the liner had six holes in it and they kept coming out to patch it, which looked horrible. A new large pool should not have holes in its liner. They just kept coming up with excuses. It took a lot of arguing for them to replace the liner at their own cost. I have given up on them and I now take care of the work myself.
Description of Work: They installed my above ground pool and I used to use them for my pool service.

As above.
Description of Work: I was very disappointed with this pool service. I had another pool service come out for a 2nd opinion and I could not believe how many things they did not perform on my Spring opening. They were way overpriced! Lou, the manager who works at the store, was the only person I would highly suggest as a true professional! He really helped me out when these others did not do what I thought they were going to do. I will never go back to this company again! I would recommend Orange County Pools in Moeghan Lake, NY and Aqua-Pro out of Ossining, NY. They are true professionals and do not rip you off!!!!

THEY WERE RESPONSIVE ON THE PHONE. I DIDN'T REALLY THINK THAT THEY DID IT IN A NICE WAY BECAUSE THE STUFF IS STILL ALL AROUND IN THE BACK. I'M ACTUALLY DELIGHTED THAT IT'S DONE. I WOULDN'T SAY THAT THEY WERE GREAT. THEY WERE GOOD. THEY COULD HAVE DONE IT BETTER.
Description of Work: THEY TOOK APART EVERYTHING AND CLOSED THE POOL.
