As soon as Lori left (not sure if she was let go or left intentionally), the customer service…read morenoticeably declined. Up until that point, I would have rated Pate's 4 or 5 stars. I specifically emailed Pate's on September 13, 2024, before the pool closing, requesting that they ensure the hot tub was set up properly for the winter. I even flagged concerns about previous issues and mentioned that it was part of the process the team had consistently performed in the past. Despite this, the spa was not winterized, which led to a cracked filter cartridge when freezing temperatures hit. When I reached out in December about the damage, I was met with dismissive responses. They claimed the spa setup was not part of the contracted service and suggested that the issue must have been caused by factors unrelated to the pool closing. This was despite my email explicitly requesting the service, and their prior assurance that notes on my account should guide the process. The lack of accountability and dismissive tone made an already frustrating situation worse. What's most disappointing is that this level of customer care has become the norm since Lori's departure. I hope they can address these gaps, but until then, I cannot recommend them as confidently as I once did. A few observations which back up my original review: 1. Zero accountability. They don't respond to a simple email that was sent in advance of the closing to communicate with me any of the details that David is now communicating. If they were communicated before, problem solved. They just didn't respond instead. This is 2024. If you run a business and don't know how to respond to basic emails, then you probably should look at your own operations and take a little ownership of the problem. 2. People are busy. That's why we outsource these key elements of our home. We use our spa sparingly, thus the long lapse in time that went by (12 weeks). If David the owner wouldn't have been so dismissive and said at least "hey, we can do better...you can do better", I never would have felt the need to fill out this review. As I told him on the call, we both could have communicated better in this situation. However, I'm the customer, not the business owner. I shouldn't be the one to recognize that.

When first calling Pates I was told they were filling up quickly, but that they would try their hardest to get me in. I received a call less than 2 days later to schedule my weekly cleanings. I knew nothing about pools, chemicals, anything, which is needed to know what chemicals to bring, and how to clean it. The customer service rep took the time to help me get the details, and had me scheduled. I have been using them for three months and my pool is spotless even being covered by trees! I highly recommend Pates!

The guy showed up and left the vacuum attached to the filter in the pool. I called Bruce and let him know this, and he justified the guy's actions.

On top of the terrible service and customer service, they still charged us for the service that never happened. We refused to pay the bill. Then upon my mother's death, the bill was paid from the estate. That company should have never been paid! Do yourself a favor and please do not ever use this company.
