They started in March on 2013 and they finished in September. They left the job incomplete and decided it was better to walk away. There was an amount of $2000 that was withheld on the contract and they decided it wasn’t worth the $2000 to come fix the things that were wrong so they just walked away from the project. It would have been nice if they had completed the job that they said they would complete and I paid them everything except the last $2000 and they said it was going to cost more than $2000 to make it right so they are just gonna walk away.
Description of Work: They built our pool.

Pool stop has blown me away every step of the way. My new pool is my favorite investment by far. From design to build they impressed me to the max. I highly recommend Pool Stop to anyone looking for a custom pool.

We moved into our new home w a pool not having a clue how to care for it. We paid for the Pool School and decided it was worthwhile to have professionals take care of the weekly maintenance in order to maximize the life of the current plaster and equipment. The regular maintenance guys came out 4 times and never checked the salt levels in the pool. Once the motor/pump & salt cell went out, the repair tech tested the water and found that it was 3 times the normal level. Pool Stop insists they never added salt, and we never added salt so I can only assume that the previous owners added too much salt which is h****** the pool itself and detrimental to the equipment. We feel strongly that Pool Stop should have discovered the salt levels upon their first visit rather than the 5th visit to our home. We were told that the regular maintenance guys normally check the salt once a month. It seems reasonable that they would have checked it during the first visit to get a baseline measurement of what is going on with the pool. Otherwise, how do they know the state of the pool if they don't test it? Otherwise, the staff were friendly but we could not excuse the oversight of the salt levels in the pool. We will not be using them again.

Response from POOL STOP
Thank you for the honest review. As the owner, I wanted to confirm my technician's salt readings because there was such a dramatic spread between the original inspection report and my tech's reading. I absolutely appreciate the fact we did not do a baseline measurement on the first trip, there was no point of comparison. I apologize for that. I would still appreciate the opportunity to do a current measure of the salt levels, at no charge of course. As I told (removed member name) in the store, I wanted to make sure that A) my tech's salt reading was accurate (as the testers have to be regularly calibrated), and B) offer to fix the salt levels in a way that was acceptable to you both to lower the salt levels in the pool. I sincerely want to at least make sure your pool is "right" as a way to make it up to you. Please call me at the store if you'd allow us to do that. Sincerely- Harvey Rippy

We did not have them construct the new pool, main due the other company had a pool design we liked better. The company that built the pool is construction only, so we will continue to use Pool Stop for maintenance.
Description of Work: Submitted estimate for a new pool, 1 of 3 pool companies to respond, I contacted 8 originally. Nobody knew what I wanted except that I wanted a pool built in a new house, before construction of new homes in the whole area was completed. Over the years they were very good at maintaining my pool at my old house.

After repeated complaints about the same exact thing, and no resolution except for their personal promise over the phone when I was complaining, I finally just canceled the contract. Doing it myself, but now looking for a new service.
Description of Work: Monthly pool cleaning service. Paid $150/mth from December to approximately March 2014. Since during the winter months, this provider decided that pools shouldn't get all that dirty, aren't typically used, so it'd be ok to slack on the cleaning and service agreement. I repeatedly told them that I am in the middle of a subdivision with new houses all around me that are kicking up clay, dirt and pebbles that are going into the pool from the wind etc. I have a newly completed 11/2014 pool and was worried about the new already staining of the inside plaster and the fact that it was so filthy. I checked every Wednesday when I got home from work to see how they did. They didn't every vacume it. The day I canceled my service they opted to do better. Too late.

Description of Work: They replaced a part without asking and then charged me for it - failing to recognize that they themselves sold me the device and that it was still under warranty. The last part they replaced (to be clear - with permission) turned out to be at 2x the price that other local providers would have charged. Preparing to switch to another provider.

Response from POOL STOP
Thank you for the feedback. Good or bad, it helps us become better at providing service at a level I expect all of my employees to perform to. As soon as the member alerted us that the part was put on without authorization, we immediately credited him the amount of the part and informed him that it was actually under warranty; it was obviously an error on our part and we corrected it immediately. I'm not familiar with the other part he is speaking of, but I have sent an email to the member asking for clarification, and I will be happy to correct anything that may have been at issue. Our customers depend on us to not only clean the pool, but also make sure everything is in working order. We are not perfect, but I expect when an error does occur, we correct the situation immediately. If any of our customers feel we have not lived up to our responsibilities, I welcome them to contact me directly and I would be happy to remedy the situation right away.

On Monday I talked with Casey at the store who was most helpful saying the general labor charge was $95/hr to change a pool pump or anything else. He said a service call could be scheduled for mid-week without problem. I was told they could supply pump and labor or just labor. He called back within the hour with a price of $1,077 for a new Pentair Whisperflo pump which I also asked about. I bought the pump myself for $590 and had it here the next day. I called Pool Stop, talked to the same person at approximately 9:30 to schedule a service call. I called back again at 12:30 and 3:30. Each time I asked to schedule a service call and was told the service manager would schedule it and call me back shortly. It is now late Thursday and I still have not received a call back. I certainly can't give them more than an F for anything since they couldn't do me the courtesy of saying they don't want my business. I did replace the whole pump myself in 2 hours. I have used the store outlet for parts and chemicals.They have a complete selection of every product I have needed in the past.
Description of Work: I called and was told they could provide a service call within 2 days. I made a total of 5 calls and never received a response from the Service department or Service manager. I didn't even get an apology for having to call the 5th time to request a service call. Even a "not interested in your business" would have been something. Updated: to reflect that I did get a call 3 days later on a Friday that they could come on the following Monday. Although I already did the job myself the price quoted was $140 which I thought was very reasonable. I upgraded the Price rating to a B and Professionalism rating to a C.

Response from POOL STOP
I received this feedback over the weekend, and have spent most of the day today researching it. I found that we confirm appointments the day before the scheduled service date- which usually is within 48 hours. In (member name removed) case, however, we were unable to schedule the call until the following Monday- creating the lag time between initial call and us calling him with the scheduled time of service. I agree with (Member name removed) that our system of follow up is lacking. Thank you (Member name removed) for the feedback. Starting immediately, we will attempt to schedule the service visit when our customers call, and if we cannot, we pledge to call you with the schedule within 4 hours of your initial call (Monday through Friday). I sincerely appreciate the feedback and will continue to monitor our operations for potential process improvements. I attempted to contact (Member name removed) today via phone without success (busy). I will try again tomorrow. Thanks Harvey Rippy Owner

They were instructed to vacuum leaves at bottom of pool and take a photo of pool. April 3rd they were a no show, the 5th a no show, the following week showed up and said it possibly needed a new filter and cleaning would be $495. I instructed them not to discuss pool with tenant but with me only. I authorized a $100 clean. They performed $250 in work and chemical without my authorization and discussed the pool with the tenant. The pool equipment wasn't operating right after they were there. I sent another pool company out and paid $1400.00. The Pool stop tech didn't know what he was doing and broke the filter top and broke the cartridges because you have to remove the roof prior to working on filter. He even used what appears to be a screw driver to pry on the filter lid. I refused to pay when the service manager called. She admitted that they did extra work that was not authorized by me, but she said had to be done. She also admitted in a previous conversation that the tech checked the filter. That was not authorized by me because of the fact it has to come off a special way without tearing it up because of the roof over pool equipment. The service manager wouldn't listen to what I had to say. She raised her voice and threatened collections. She even slammed the phone down hanging up on me. Are you kidding me?

Response from POOL STOP
On April 3rd, Member called us to quote a one time clean of the pool, to take pictures, and not discuss the prices he paid us with the tenant. When my tech arrived on the 5th (a reasonable day and a half from the initial call), he was asked by the tenant to do additional work that was supposedly approved by Member (the homeowner). The tenant was quite difficult to deal with and my tech did what he thought was the right thing and took care of the customer. He performed the work as requested and did not discuss the original charges with the tenant. In retrospect, our technician should have verified the work authorization with the actual homeowner (and not the tenant) prior to performing the work. At no time was there any filter work done nor did we even touch the filter. The tenant asked my technician what it would cost to fix the filter as it was blowing debris back into the pool, and he mistakenly gave the tenant a rough estimate. I have offered Member a credit of the bill over and above the initial service call fee. He has agreed to those terms. As the work was performed in April he has agreed to make payment as soon as possible.

They have been professional, on time, and very responsive to my questions. The work they have done in such a short period of time has been great, they did the initial service on Friday and came back today(Monday) to check on the progress.(The pool went from mustard colored algae to sparkling blue over the weekend)...I also started service in the middle of the month and they have prorated it for me. I would do business with them again.
Description of Work: I just started monthly service(once a week), clean skimmers, clean vacuum bag, brush, and backwash as needed, vacuum and chemicals included.

Rep came out and was prompt. We had asked him to call 30 minutes out and he did and arrived on time. He looked over everything and determined problem. While repairing, he accidently broke one of the attaching pipes. He only charged us for the service call and an o-ring. This is our second time using Pool Stop and we are pleased. Their prices are on par with most other services, they are local, prompt, and have always achieved the results we requrie. Recommend them.
Description of Work: We had a pump motor making noise and vibrating badly. We tried different things recommended by phone calls but it did not stop the vibration. We requested a service call.

I chose Pool Stop because of their price. You are buying a pre-built hot tub so it is all about price. The salesman was not pushy. He told me the price and let me decide. Other companies I worked with had extremely pushy salesmen. Pool Stop works with you. I needed the hot tub for a medical issue. They worked with me to avoid paying taxes since it was a medical issue. They helped with all the paperwork.
