It appears there's a good deal of disarray going on at the company, because I basically got stood up. I scheduled a pool inspection for a home my family is buying and the technician doing the job was supposed to call an hour ahead of time to let me and my Realtor know he was about to head to the property. (No set time; it's a busy season for pool service companies). I called early afternoon at 1:20 p.m. to confirm we were still on the schedule; we were. Five hours later, no word from Mathews Pool & Spa. I called again, and the administrative assistant said the tech had been to the locked property and done a cursory inspection, because the power wasn't on. (And apparently, even then, didn't think to call). Hence we would need to pay for an hour of service. The power is on at the home, and there's no way the tech could get in except by jumping the fence. If they are overbooked or having system issues, the way to offer good customer service is to reschedule promptly and offer a discount. Their handling of a no-show and not calling the client as promised was terrible, and I do not recommend using them right now.

Response from Mike Matthews Pool & Spa Service Co
The property address that was given to us was [Member Information Removed] (or at least that is what we had down for the inspection, Patricia may have transposed 2 numbers) We told them it would be late in the day & my tech arrived at 8:00 pm for the inspection at the wrong house. They have not been charged for the inspection and I didn't know that we had the address wrong until I read this review. Any pool company that is not very busy at this time of year has no business being in the pool business. We strive to provide exceptional customer service at a reasonable price. I was scheduled to perform that inspection myself and got stuck on a job and had my other tech do it to try & get the customer an inspection on the day scheduled.

Description of Work: Called Mike Matthews to help complete plumbing work on my bathtub jacuzzi. The pump was not installed properly over 30 years ago. Every company I contacted refused to help citing that they "didn't do that type of work." Mike Matthews even admitted that they usually don't do this - but they came out to look at it anyway. With limited space, the technician installed coupling unions in less than 1 hr. Once again, my tub is working fine.

I'm irritated, however, that they slapped their company sticker on my equipment without asking me. I can't get it off. Some would consider that vandalism.
Description of Work: They came out as part of my home warranty. They gave me good advice about what my equipment needed and about salt water systems. I didn't need them to perform any services at that time.

We left town for a two week vacation on June 18th. I called Mike and asked him to have one of his techs stop by to service the pool and add any chemicals needed on the 25th. I, specifically, told him that we did not want to come back and find a dirty pool. His tech came out on the 25th; replaced the pool light, but only used the limited chemicals we had on site. He was supposed to have added the necessary chemicals needed and billed us for them. We got home on July 2nd and when I went out to check on the pool, it looked like a "Catfish Pond". It ruined our 4th of July and it took me 4 days to clear the pool up on my own. The tech even stated on the work sheet he left behind that he only used our chemicals and the pool was still cloudy and needed to have additional chemicals added. That's what we paid them to do!! I called Mike's office and spoke to his secretary but never heard back from him.

Response from Mike Matthews Pool & Spa Service Co
When we checked on the pool we repaired the light as the customer requested. We determined that the customer needed more chemicals and tried to reach him on his cell phone & left a message. We added the chemicals that the customer had left for us. Had the customer called us back & authorized the additional chemicals, we would have made another trip and added them. As a rule, we do not sell chemicals without the customer authorizing that sale. We are sorry that it ruined his holiday.

My inground vinyl liner pool had been very cloudy since May. From May - July I spent over $600 on pool service and $300 on chemicals from another Memphis pool service company. The situation did not improve very much. I finally tired of paying for no improvement and called Mike Matthews Pool and Spa Service. Stephen was a little late for the appointment, but called to say he was on his way. He diagnosed the problem as yellow algae and said he knew what to do. He inspected the "zeosand" in the filter and found it clumped, even though it was only 3 years old. He recommended replacing the 'zeosand' with regular sand and did so. He then added an entire quart of Swintrine Plus algaecide and 6 bags of my chlorine shock. The charge was about $250. Although I had hoped for an immediate improvement, it took almost a week for the pool to clear. Since then, the pool has been crystal clear. I was very pleased to have the situation resolved and would use Mike Matthews Pool and Spa Service again.
Description of Work: Cloudy pool. Stephen replaced the sand in the filter and treated the water with Swimtrine Plus algaecide. The pool cleared in a week.

We had a wonderful experience working with Mike Matthew's and company. When I first called them they thoroughly explained the process of converting from chlorine to a saline pool system. They also described to me how the system works to clean the pool which I very much appreciated. Their company consists of three guys who are all very experienced (15 years minimum in the industry). We worked with one guy for the whole process as the conversion to saline required three visits. We appreciated having one "go to" person to work with. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and punctual. He was available for later follow up questions by phone which was helpful as pool ownership was new to us. Will use Mike Matthew's & Co. again in the future, and recommend without hesitation.
Description of Work: We just purchased a new home with a pool. It was in need of a thorough cleaning and a little maintenance work. In addition, we converted the pool from chlorine to a saline system.

Still have not found but one company that came out, looked and left a estimate. Have not fixed pool as of now.
Description of Work: Mr. Matthews does not put in vinyl liners but he gave me 2 referrals for companies that do. He was so amiable, professional and helpful, that I was disappointed when he told me he only deals with concrete pools.

The customer misunderstood our response. We do deal with liner pools, we just don't replace liners. We are happy to repair any of the equipment on liner pools or even repair the liner if it can be repaired.

They have always done a great job. They are very reliable and I can call on them anytime. They are always willing to help and dependable. They have charged me for the plastering the same price since I started with this company. I will use this company again in the future.
Description of Work: I have an old pool that needed some extra care, so I called on Mike Matthews Pool & Spa Service to fix leaks. They have also sub-contracted a company to do the plaster around the pool. The company has it set up that they do this service every 5 years. They did the re-plastering this past April. The pool holds about 36,000 gallons so its a fairly large pool for the job. I have used this company for about 9 years.
