This company started taking care of our HOA pool a few months ago. They're scheduled 3x a week. However, we have been experiencing some issues since then. The pool is cloudy most days and has a lot of dirt, clumps of hair and brown spots in the corners and on the bottom. We have noticed that large trash items are left in the skimmer baskets. These problems were never present before with our previous company. (Retired) Reading Dani review below sounds spot on to our issues. Only positive I can say is the pool looked clean for about 2 weeks when an older gentleman was cleaning it.

POOL CLOSED 2021
Dani P.

This company has done NOTHING but get our community pool closed down TWICE! They always come when the pool is crowded (i.e. in the middle of the day, weekends and holidays). I understand they have a schedule but when they do come in the morning they just dump chemicals, never vacuum, never scrub the tile, nothing. I have spoken to the guy who "maintains" our pool to ask him if the heater was working and he told me, he "didn't think so" b/c when he turned it on it "sparked"...I asked him to talk to his Manager and he said he would....2 wks later I followed up with him and he said "he forgot" to tell his Manager! This is absurd that Barrow Pools is getting paid to maintain a pool, that's not even that busy for a big community and they can't even keep it clean and the chemicals balanced. Save your community money, the heartache and the risk of your pool being closed!!!

The team does great work. And never miss a scheduled maintenance day. My pool is old and looks…read moregreat. They have been maintaining it for a little under a year now and it is in great condition. Not the cheapest, but I used to pay less for other options and had to deal with all sorts of drama. So I'll take the tradeoff for quality.

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.

That alone already set him apart. After speaking with me and learning that I'm selling my deceased Aunts house and simply looking for the most cost-effective option, Brett actually recommended that I purchase a motor myself and even sent me the Amazon link. He knew right away that he probably wouldn't be getting the job. I'm also quite a distance away, and if Brett had done the work, he would have installed a higher-quality motor and done it the right way. But this review isn't about getting the job--it's about integrity and customer service. Brett took the time to help, educate, and point me in the right direction even though he knew there was no business in it for him. That kind of honesty and willingness to help is rare these days. I only wish Murdoch Pool Service was closer to me in Escondido because I would absolutely use them for my own pool service. Thank you, Brett, for taking the time to help and for showing what real customer service looks like!
