Company did not even bother to set an appointment with me. Like I said he would not ever check his calendar.
Description of Work: I called today and ask for servicing my pool light, it does not come on. I have had an electrician come out and the company that services my pool tell me that I need someone who does the electrical in pools to fix the problem. When I call this company, the guy was not interested and spoke to me like he was speaking to another technician (in pool terms) and I did not understand anything he was talking about. I told him that the company that comes out to take care of my pool and an electrician said a pool company was needed to fix my lighting problem. He was not interested in setting an appointment with me. He would not even pick up a calendar to set an appointment to come out. In conclusion no I would not hire this company to do any work for me and to be frank, he did not want to, This was my first time contacting this company and I will never contact them again. He was arrogant, unfriendly and not kind. Customer Service rating F.

It went well. Rex was reliable about returning calls and got the job done when he said he would. Price seems pretty reasonable, although I don't have comparisons.

Great service, very happy with the result. He gladly accepted the Angie's list coupon. I will definitely call him for future needs.
Description of Work: We suspected a clogged line to the pump. Rex was very helpful on the phone, but we tried everything he thought of. He responded the day of the call, earlier than I anticipated. After a short time troubleshooting, he isolated the problem at a valve. He cleared the blockage and showed me how the interior valve body flanges were worn, and one of the attaching points for a screw was broken, so he replaced the valve as well.

He did a very good job and cleaned up problems left by previous techs. He performed all of the work at the agreed to price although additional parts were needed. He even had to travel back to a parts supplier twice to complete the work. I would definitely trust him with my next pool related needs.

Rex looks at everything that could be a trouble issue anywhere with the entire pool and advises on what he sees. Before he's done, you feel like you're dealing a trusted friend. Can't recommend anyone more highly.
Description of Work: Heater stopped working so I called ACT based upon the reviews here. I was not disappointed. He replaced a heater control valve and replumbed some pipes that were letting air into the system.

It was right when all the rain happened when our pool pump motor started smoking, tripped the breakers and stopped working all together. I talked to Rex on the phone on Friday. He was very nice and told me he would come to the house on Monday. I told him the sooner the better so our pool would not turn green. On Sunday he asked if he could come by. Yeah, a day early! We asked him to bring the pump with him and install it. Rex is an excellent technician. When the pump was installed there was an issue with the GFCI. He pulled it apart and saw some exposed wires that were touching each other. He fixed that too and spent some extra time on it without charging us extra for it! Rex is a wonderful, honest man, who makes sure your pool is running properly. I will definitely use his services again!

I was contacted shortly after sending a message through Angie's List. We agreed that he could show up on Monday, but he was able to come earlier so he came on Saturday. He realized very quickly what the problem was (The pump was clogged) and he proceeded to fix it. He noticed that the hose to the pool vacuum cleaner was too long, and he fixed it too. I was glad that there was no need to replace anything and pleased that the contractor didn't want to sell me any replacement parts.

We were having a problem with our chlorinator , which we attempted to solve on our own, but the cap was jammed, and we ended up breaking a valve while trying to unscrew it.--- This meant we would not have been able to run the pool pump until the problem was fixed. Since it was a Saturday morning, and we were also having algae problems, we didn't want to wait through the weekend, so I was on the lookout for someone with 24 hour emergency services. Left a voicemail that was returned within the hour; Technician was out in the early afternoon, and solved the problem for us. I really appreciate the prompt and friendly service. I imagine the repair might have been less expensive, were it during regular work hours, but the cost did seem fair in view of the timing of the emergency. The Chlorinator works great, and we haven't had a problem with it since installation.

I called initially and spoke with Rex. He is extremely friendly and honest. Rex told me he would not be able to get to me for about 1 1 1/2 weeks. Sure enough 10 days later Rex called, said he was in the area and he could stop by to look at my spa. Rex gave me an estimate, I agreed to the price and he said he would return on Monday June 16th to fix the problem. Rex just left my home. He stayed until the spa was full to ensure there were no leaks. I can't wait to tell my friends there are still honest people in the pool repair business. Thanks Rex

No, what I said was if you buy products from the internet, we cannot warranty any of the work or that you purchased the right thing. Would you buy parts and take them to a car mechanic and expect them to do the work? When people buy pool equipment from the internet, they should expect to install themselves. I am sorry you were not pleased with my response.

I am always of the persuasion that I would rather give the benefit of the doubt but in this case I would have to say 3 strikes and you're out. We made 2 calls to Rex the week before Memorial Day about a leak in our hot tub. He did call back after the second call and told us that he was swamped because of people getting things fixed before Memorial Day. My husband said that was fine and Rex told us he would call the week after Memorial Day. We got to Thursday of the next week and still no call. My husband called again and we never got a call back. We run a small business so I know about the challenges but it is not ok to tell someone you are going to do something and not follow through. Very disappointed and frustrated in trying to get our hot tub working again.

Rex came out to assess the situation and ran several tests to find leak. He tried hard to find the leak and fix it at the least expense. He suspected it might be around the underwater light fixtures. He then drained the spa down to the fixtures and found them full of water due to a defective or improperly installed O-rings. He replaced them and spa still holding water after approximately two months. He removed 150 feet of old caulking in patio area and refilled with new caulking. Some delays in getting this finished due to weather interruptions.
Description of Work: We had a water leak in an in-ground spa. It was losing about one inch/day. Repair cost: $250 Also, cleaned spa filter which is a 75sf diatomaceous earth filter. Replaced five defective grids. Repair cost: $345 Caulked 150 feet of seams around spa and patio. Repair cost: $900

Rex is fantastic! I had to make arrangements for him to meet me at the pool. I was able to schedule a time with him right away that also fit into my schedule. He called ahead of time giving me more than enough time to get to the house. He is very courteous and professional. He quickly diagnosed the problem with the impeller pump and was able to repair it quickly. He showed me where the valve on the pressure gauge was cracked and the pressure gauge itself wasn't functioning. He also showed me where a piece was not only worn after 30 yrs but had been put on backwards. I will continue to call Rex for all my pool repairs.
Description of Work: Located and removed impeller pump clog, replaced Jandy valve part, replaced valve and pressure gauge on filter tank, added electrical connection covers and provided several useful tips for maintaining pool equipment more efficiently.

The pool tech, Rex, was very friendly, knowledgeable, and did a great job. He showed up on the day that he said he would and did the work for the amount quoted. As I explained to Rex, we have used Leslie's in the past, but they sent out a different contractor every time and we had mixed results on their work. ACT will be the company that we use in the future for our pool maintenance needs.

It went great. I am very happy with ACT and look forward to working with them in the future.
Description of Work: Rex fit me into his schedule even though I had never used his services before. We have just bought a home with a salt water pool and the filter had no pressure, and I could not backwash it at all. It wasn't recirculating and my mother was the only one there since my job keeps me away from home a lot. Rex was very courteous to my Mother, helped her with the questions she had and performed the necessary service in order to get the filter cleaned and going again. Not only was he professional but generous. He even gave us a skimmer basket that was missing (free of charge). We will definitely use Rex for all our pool services and I would recommend him to everyone. Thank you Rex.
