I've been meaning to leave this review for months, and my most recent experience finally convinced…read moreme to stop putting it off.
For the past 10 months, Robbie has helped me transition from relying on a pool service to maintaining my own pool after a complete pebble finish remodel. Pool chemistry can be intimidating, especially with a freshly refinished pool, but he has consistently taken the time to explain the "why" behind his recommendations. There are no sales tactics, no unnecessary products, and no fluff, just honest, straightforward advice that works.
What prompted me to finally write this review happened the day before the Fourth of July. I stopped by without realizing they had closed early for the holiday. I thought I had missed my chance to pick up chlorine. Robbie was already in his truck, ready to head home. Most people would have driven away. Instead, he got out, greeted me with a smile, unlocked the store, and took the time to get me exactly what I needed even though they were already closed. That simple act of kindness says a lot about the kind of person he is.
As a fellow small business owner in the service industry, I understand what it means to go the extra mile. In today's world, where so many interactions feel rushed and transactional, that level of customer care stands out. It's something you don't see often enough anymore.
I was also surprised to see this business sitting at only three stars on Yelp. Reviews often attract people who had a bad experience, while satisfied customers rarely take the time to share the good ones. I realized I had become one of those people. After 10 months of consistently outstanding service, I felt it was important to add my experience to the conversation.
Every visit has been positive. Robbie has been patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in helping me succeed instead of simply selling chemicals.
If you're in the Fair Oaks area and want to learn how to maintain your own pool, save money on monthly service, or simply understand your pool chemistry better, I highly recommend Nathan's Pool Supply & Equipment. They've earned my business, and more importantly, they've earned my trust.
Thank you, Robbie, for your professionalism, integrity, and consistently outstanding customer service. It truly makes a difference.
