Victor communicated every step of the way, often sending updates and photos and keeping us in the loop from day to day. He was very responsive to texts from me and patient with my questions (first time pool owner here). Our experience with Victor really took the edge off an unpleasant situation and as a full-time working mom I really appreciate when a vendor can provide some peace of mind when so many other stressful events are happening from day to day. Thank you so much, Victor. The price was fair especially for his consultative style and ability to accommodate our timeline on short notice.

I cannot believe he still has a license to build pool. DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY.

The team itself is nice and communicative if you can get ahold of them. Besides that, just bad work, people doing a bad job, and no improvement. In that time I had at least 4 techs, they tried to upsell on equipment, my heater stopped working and they never fixed it or told me what was wrong, pool turned green and had to be shocked. The final straw was pool was cleaned and bottom of scrubbed, because we have some glass from the side that will scrape off and get to the bottom and in the filter. Andres cleaned it, but somehow dumped it or let it spill out right by our doggy door and gate. Our dog ran through it. Cut his paw. I had to take him to the vet which was a huge deal and expensive dive, then come back and clean it up. Also noticed the side gate was not shut, so he would've gotten out anyways. Not a fan, would not hire again. Be ware!

Chris Smith reached out to me after I had reached out to The Water Club of America to set up weekly maintenance and leak detection. This was a company I was familiar with, so when Chris texted me out of the blue stating he was from "Ultra Pool Cleaning", I had no idea who he was. Was he representing the Water Club? Did they farm this work out to Chris? It was unclear to me. In the age of "splash and dash", I wanted to choose my pool maintenance company carefully and by reputation. That's why I went with the Water Club - based on reputation and past service experience. Chris Smith and his lack of follow-through and overpromising is not what I expected and not what I wanted. Did Chris realize his image was reflecting on the Water Club? Did the Water Club know? Probably not. Chris reached out to me, told me "how important the customer is to him" (self-described as a serial entrepreneur with his hands in a lot of pots) and assured me that he would take care of my pool. We scheduled a free consult for the next day. Honestly, a free consult was not expected - I would have gladly paid for his service. I expected to. Most customers would take reliability over gimmicks and business-speak. Just show up. If Chris' word meant anything, he would have arrived on a Saturday afternoon as we planned for the day before. If Chris' word meant anything, he would have confirmed and kept his promise and added me to his schedule as he mentioned he was going to do the night before. If Chris' word meant anything he would have answered a text sent mid-morning to nail down that afternoon time (since I didn't hear from him the night before as he promised). If Chris' word meant anything he would have actually showed up. Chris owes an apology to the next person he stands up in whatever business venture that brings him to. Chris needs to learn a hard business lesson. Word is king. Finish what you start, focus on the customer and show that you ACTUALLY care for the customer through your actions. Chris has a spiffy website for this business and does a bunch more pool equipment e-commerce sites. What's he doing trying to add weekly pool maintenance to such a list? Focus! My initial impression: avoid Ultra Pool Cleaning, avoid the gimmicks and tiers promised on the website and look for a company that shows a solid reputation, offers a simple plan and keeps their word. Also look for legitimate reviews and be wary of anyone who calls themselves the "No. 1 pool company in Sarasota" without a history to match. Lastly, don't be taken by fake reviews and someone who doesn't have the wherewithal to at least mask their name in case someone actually interacts with them and learns that said reviews are actually from themselves. There is no honor in pretending and not being a man of your word.

Terrible! Stay away... the owner Chris Smith is a nutcase.... Pool looks awful, we hired and fired…read moreChris with ultra pools because he did terrible work while leaving a mess behind. He charged 95$ dollars a month and my pool and patio looked like a toddler cleaned it. He broke my pool light and left it out in the sun to rot for 3 weeks and never fixed it. I had to buy the bolts to fix at Home Depot. We cancelled our services immediately. Also we had to buy our own products like chlorine to fix our pool after he destroyed it. See pics below. Found out he's only been cleaning pools since February with his company of one person. His word is no good... he's a liar! We are now with a different pool company and we are so happy! I have many more photos to share but as you can see below this is the work that ultra pool cleaning or Chris Smith does. Try Kraken pools instead!
