I would not recommend this company…read more We used this company for multiple paid pool-service visits after the husband/owner initially told us our pool was in good condition and recommended a pool robot and maintenance. Unfortunately, the service and communication afterward were extremely disappointing. After a May visit, our pool turned green the next day. They later added chemicals, but the pool stayed hazy and the issue never seemed fully resolved. We paid for multiple services but did not receive clear service reports showing the technician, work completed, chemicals/salt added, or a plan to correct the ongoing issues. There was also an incident while we were out of town where their pool maintenance person turned on our water hose at the pool without notifying us. We have a recording showing this. No report was provided. When my husband questioned a paid visit because the pool looked unchanged, the owner's response became hostile. Before I had ever spoken with her, she texted my husband referring to us as "you people" and calling us "horrible and disgusting people." She later told us to "find another company," accused us of treating them "like crap," called us "HORRIBLE people" and "disgusting humans," and blocked us. Update: After this review, the owner came to my home uninvited within about 15 minutes regarding a disputed bill. My home camera footage shows her standing at my window and recording inside while my 1-year-old was being changed by my nanny. She continued after being asked to stop/step away. During the same visit, footage also shows her striking/pushing a car mirror in my driveway with her hand. After we sent a no-contact message stating that any billing dispute should go through proper legal channels, the company contacted us again and threatened to put a lien on our home. This review is based on my firsthand experience, text messages, invoices, timestamps, and preserved footage. I would not hire this company again. Response to owner: The owner has also tried to minimize the service history by claiming they only came once monthly or that we were not real customers. That is not accurate based on our text history, scheduled visits, invoices, and payments. We requested and paid for multiple services over several months, including visits in May. Whether they considered us "regular service" or "one-time cleaning" customers, they accepted the work, came to the property, performed services, and billed us. My issue is that those visits were not clearly documented, the pool issues were not properly resolved, and when we questioned the service, we were insulted and treated unprofessionally. RESPONSE TO OWNER: The owner publicly claimed I have a "track record of giving small businesses 1-star reviews." That is not accurate. My Yelp profile shows only two total reviews, including a 5-star review from TWELVE YEARS ago and this review. I am documenting this because the business appears to be trying to discredit my review instead of addressing the actual service issues, messages, billing dispute, and conduct described in my firsthand experience. CLARIFICATION REGARDING THE OWNERS RESPONSE AT 10:10 PM: The owner's response focuses heavily on whether we were "regular clients," but that does not address my actual complaint. My complaint is not that we had weekly maintenance. My complaint is that we paid this company for multiple pool-service visits, received limited/no clear service reports, had inconsistent communication, and were treated unprofessionally when we questioned the service and billing. Our records show multiple invoices, multiple scheduled visits, and automated service notifications stating they were on the way to our property and that the pool had been serviced. Their own messages also acknowledge that our pool was mixed up with another customer's pool/list, that chemicals and salt were added, and that the amount was corrected because the $800 quote applied to a different pool. The first clear discussion I have in writing about biweekly maintenance/pricing came later, after we had already used them for multiple services. We also asked for their recommendation on future maintenance and asked about weekly pricing with chemicals included, but that question was not clearly answered before we were told to find another company. Whether they considered us "regular maintenance" customers or "one-time cleaning" customers, they accepted the work, came to the property, performed services, invoiced us, and communicated with us over several months. I stand by my review because it is based on my firsthand experience, invoices, text messages, service notifications, photos, and preserved documentation.

I also told them I was scheduled to go out of state on 7/12/25 for an indefinite amount of time. Received written estimate totaling $325 which was due the first day in cash or via Venmo, using my chemicals for these services, and including two one hour service calls. Pool was uncovered first visit on 6/27/25 and determined pool motor needed to be replaced. I declined their estimate to replace motor. I asked if they would just replace the cover and we'd call it quits. Was told it would be additional $225 to replace the cover. A net was used for about 10 minutes to remove a few of the leaves from the bottom and the guys left. I got motor replaced and asked for Lakeside services to be completed. I was notified second visit would take place 7/11/25 but was told estimated time could not be provided. I waited all day and was notified at 4:37 serviceman was on his way, and I told them it was beginning to storm by then. He arrived and called me from in front of my home to let me know he was there but because of storm would have to reschedule. I reminded him I was leaving the state the next day, didn't know when I'd return, so couldn't reschedule and to please refund me $225 since the pool had not been vacuumed or brushed not the water balanced. I was told since I had not rescheduled when Billy was at my home on 6/11/25 during the storm, I was not due any refund, that they had done everything outlined in the proposal, and since then they have failed to return my calls. I would give them less than one star if possible.
