The pool techs are very junior, familiar with basic pool chemical balancing. If anything is not right, I as the homeowner have to ask why (why is the water cloudy?) and the response is (shrugs shoulders) call the office and have the send a repair person out to investigate. I've been paying this company to come weekly (even in the dead of Winter when no one is using the pool) because I was sold on "we need be there weekly to stay on top of any issues." That is far from what has been happening -- homeowner should not have troubleshoot water quality issues. Dear Pool Experts, as the company that services our pool you need to inform me that there is a problem so that I can do something about it since you are unable to.

YOUVE BEEN WARNED!!!…read more WARNING ABOUT Grady's Pool Service, Inc. - Pool Contractor in Bakersfield & Central Coast, CA Swimming pool contractor I feel compelled to share my experience with Grady's Pool Service & Construction (operating online at gradyspools.com) -- a company that is led by Mark Grady, a pool builder and general contractor. Their website touts "20+ years in the pool business" and custom pool design, build, remodel, and repair services in Paso Robles, Templeton, Atascadero, and the Central Coast. However, my experience was extremely negative and serves as a serious warning to other homeowners considering hiring this contractor. What Happened in My Case Before hiring him, my loan company refused financing because he was on a contractor blacklist due to active lawsuits -- a red flag I later confirmed after issues began. I was given an alternative financing method and, trusting his explanation, entered a contract for a full pool build. Payments were tied to construction milestones because I had no traditional pool loan oversight. During the build, many construction errors occurred, clearly due to poor supervision and bad direction from Mark. Multiple portions of the build are out of building code, which means they must be demolished and redone before final inspection can pass. He was absent during most of the build, showing up mainly when money was due. He promised to install a saltwater system but claimed it should wait until water chemistry was balanced -- then changed his number and disappeared. Subcontractors were not paid by him and attempted to place liens against my property because of unpaid bills, forcing me into months of conflict. This is particularly troubling given other reports showing mixed review experiences for this business. Important Facts Other Homeowners Should Know Despite claiming certifications and years of experience on gradyspools.com, project execution was severely lacking. The still never passed a final building inspection. The promised saltwater pool system was never installed. Costly code violations must be corrected. Subcontractors attempted to place liens on my property due to Mark not paying them. After repeated attempts to communicate about job defects, Mark effectively abandoned the project and changed contact information.
