I had been using this company for almost 20 years. They where great at first but as the time passed the knowledgeable and responsible staff were slowly replaced with a sub par crew of people that went from bad to worse. It went from being unprepared, always having to make multiple trips to the house and never having the parts on hand. To always leaving a mess behind, getting me to do the work instead, and not able to do simple electrical tracing. One guy couldn't even find the pump switch. I guess he couldn't think of following the power supply wire. Anyway... We had spent over twenty thousand dollars over the years with this company. We had them resurface the pool, replace the tile, and replace the heater. We also bought a pool robot, chemicals and had them do heater maintenance, pool lights etc. I thought that being a loyal customer and developing relations was important, and company's will have their ups and downs so, I stuck with them. Until they almost burned down our house. I hired them to fix the pool heater. A heater that they alone had been doing maintenance on and had originally installed. they were supposed to replace a part in the heater that stops the heater from over heating. That night the heater overheated. It started an electrical fire which caught the fence on fire. Just by luck we saw the fire and put it out before It burned into the house and garage. Yes it gets worse. I called the next morning and eventually got a call from arron, who I believe is the owner. I told him what happened and he acted very concerned and assured me that everything would be taken care of. Not. He sent the same tech that was responsible for the fire to investigate it ! That made no sense. The guy did nothing. He took the heater apart, looked at it, and left. After that it became very difficult to reach arron. He didn't return emails or phone calls and went into full *** cover mode. Long story longer. At this point they decide not to take responsibility for anything and try to come up with all sorts of alternate theories why the fire started. Remember. They were hired specifically to STOP the heater from overheating. So..... after weeks on end arron eventually got a free heater from the heater company and had the fire starting tech hook up the plumbing. And get this! That tech refused to hook up the electrical wires that go to new the heater. I wonder why???Over Three thousand dollars later. I have had a new fence built and painted, and all the electrical lines that melted that go to the garage, work shop and heater replaced. All the things I was assured would be taken care of. Funny thing is, the pool is do for another resurface soon, and the light fixtures also need to be replaced. Thats probably fifteen to twenty thousand dollars. Instead of doing the right thing and keeping their word they lost those profits, and any further profits from a once loyal customer. I guess that's how they roll. Good luck . I hope your experience it better than mine

My pool was leaking water and I contacted Orca Pacific to fix the problems. They were unable to come out for a week. When they did send someone out it was to only provide a estimate. They couldn't schedule the work after the estimate was provided for some reason. I made repeated attempts to get a date and time for the service call. Each time being told, they would get back to me later which didn't occur.. After my third call to the service Department and no date for service. I contacted someone else.
Description of Work: I had a leak in a pipe in my pool shed and a cracked skimmer.

I have had a wonderful experience working with Orca Pacific. Our past pool company, Aqua Quip was HORIABLE. Lyndon and his team installed a Hayward automated pool chemical system. They did great work and maintaining our pool has never been easier. Orca Pacific is always there for me when I have a question or I need help. The pool maintenance is a breeze now and water has never looked better. Thank so much. -Damien
Description of Work: I needed to get our indoor pool under control. Our past maintenance company had the pool chemistry so out of whack there was ZERO chlorine in the pool (even with servicing every 2 weeks and no swimmers in the water). Orca Pacific recommended installing the Hayward CAT2000 automated chemical system and cancel the pool maintenance contract with Aqua Quip.

We got several bids and researched for a very long time on who we would have do the resurfacing and retiling project for our pool. After talking to several contractors Orca Pacific seemed to be the best value and they were recommended highly by our local community pool. Since the project was started in the winter there were weather problems that were beyond their control so we understood the the delays. Because there was a metal light fixture that was left out in the rain that was connected with the pool light, we got a very large rust stain before the pool was resurfaced. After expressing our concern many times to the jobs forman we were assured they had taken care of the problem, but obviously they had not. Also the surface of the pool was much more irregular, almost Tie Dye look than I had expected. My husband has not gotten any resolution for the rust problem and called over a month ago. On the whole, Ben, the owner is very professional and was wonderful with the installation and problem solving on the clorinater that we put in. The tile work on the pool was excellent, but the surface and rust issue which they still have not resolved causes me to really down grade their service. All that being said I think they are an A company were Ben is involved but not so much on his surfacing subcontractors.
Description of Work: Adding new automated clorination system, resurfacing and retiling pool and spa. Refilling and balancing pool chemicals.

We wanted a quieter service and a lot of companies were not able to help us based on what we were looking for. Orca did a great job and we were very pleased with the outcome. Their customer service was very good.
Description of Work: They replaced our pool pump and noisy furnace with quieter, more efficient versions of both.
