He has grown a lot the past couple years so now he has guys working for him that service my pool. Daniel has been awesome. Just to give you an idea of the kind of person he is, I wanted to get a solar heater installed after I got my solar panels. I had just started using him and asked him about it and he told me it would be a waste of money for me and I'd be happier if I bought a $100 solar cover from Amazon. Wow I was shocked he just cost himself some money and saved me thousands! The solar cover worked perfect! Even though he doesn't service my pool, I still text him when I have an issue or question about my pool (like I can't remember how to turn the knobs to switch the water) and he always gets back to me right away and doesn't make me feel like I'm annoying him. Every week they service the pool and when they are done they send me a report of what they did with the chemical levels and pictures of the pool or equipment or rock they pulled out of the vacuum LoL. De Waal's was like my 4th or 5th pool guy and has been way better than all the rest which is why I have used them for so long and probably why the business has grown so much!

Elizabeth and Curtis both reached out after hours, and the team shuffled their route to address the emergency quickly. They care about and deliver excellent customer service. After every pool cleaning, they send pictures, including confirmation that the pool gate has been locked, which gives real peace of mind. They are true pool technology experts, understand the chemistry, and clearly take pride in doing the job right. Highly recommended.

I contacted Aqua Clear and though no one could come out that day (not that I thought it would be possible anyway), they squeezed me in first thing Monday morning. Richard arrived and is obviously very knowledgeable, thorough and attentive to questions and concerns. He came up with a plan of action right away and I think we will be able to enjoy our pool again in short order. Because we were so impressed with Richard's knowledge and customer service, we switched our pool service to Aqua Clear on the spot. Thank you Richard, I want your company especially to know what a great representative you are for them.

Vinyl pool owners, beware! I had a horrible experience with…read moreGolden State Pool Service that has prompted me to take legal action. After a routine service visit to my vinyl pool, the pool began losing water rapidly and dropped to less than halfway full within days. A Vinyl Pool Repair company later identified a large puncture in the liner and advised the damage appeared consistent with blunt force. It is in the very bottom corner of the pool on the 8ft side, somewhere a 5 year old child couldn't reach. I checked camera footage to see their technician using his tool in an up and down motion as if he's spearfishing in my pool. Days later - the water dropped less than halfway. Other red flags - they removed my existing vacuum and replaced with a different one without my knowledge or permission. This specific vacuum was not recommended for vinyl from the vinyl EXPERTS that I consulted with. Furthermore, they also charged me on a random day for some type of "annual fee" without disclosing that upfront. Lastly, the last service visit we had (on a rainy day - no clue why the guy still showed up), the employee went behind the camera area and stood under my sundeck on his phone. Is that what you're getting paid for? Service visits under 10 minutes while you stand around. There were multiple red flags I ignored and excused but the damage to the pool was the last straw. Despite the timing of the incident, the severity of the water loss, camera footage, and the findings from ABCO, Golden State declined to take responsibility for the damage or assist with replacement costs. As expected: they responded to dodge accountability by saying the vinyl was in brittle condition - this still doesn't change the fact that you punctured my pool. See you in court.

When I posted the review, they contacted me and tried to make it right. I've already moved on, but I really appreciated how their customer support has changed since I was using them last, and I'm updating my rating accordingly. Initial Review: I hired them for pool service. They started out as a 4 or 5 star, but they turned a corner after about 6 months (and after they had sold me all the equipment I was willing to buy). Suddenly, and with no explanation, I started getting pool reports from La Jolla Pool Service instead of McKinney's. That was weird, but I was busy and didn't do anything right away. Then I had a question about the pool, so I went out to talk to the guy when he came - it wasn't the same guy as usual. In fact, it was a new company! They apparently sold my account to another provider. They eventually notified me after the fact. So here I had done all this research to pick a pool cleaner and finally settled on McKinney's and 6 months later I'm stuck with someone I didn't pick who ended up being a real problem. Also they sold me a leaf catcher for my pool cleaner when there already was one, so that was annoying.
