The owner came out for a quote. Stated that their pool closing service includes blowing off the pool deck, cleaning the pool, lowering the water level, blowing water out of the lines, screwing in the jet plugs, and installing the pool cover. Since they were $20 cheaper than the competition, I decided to hire them. That was a horrible mistake. I was out of town when the pool tech arrived. From my security cams I can see he was here a total of 26 mins, from the time he pulled up, to the time he left. Didn't even take anything out of his truck.
When I returned home, I found out why. He didn't drain any water out of the pool (still 100% full), he didn't clean the pool, he didn't blow off the deck, he didn't seal off the jets, he didn't add any chemicals, he didn't do anything that was agreed upon except install the pool cover. He even left my gate wide open.
I texted the office, and the owner Gilbert called me later and proceeded to berate me about how in-ground pools only need to have a pool cover installed and pump/filter plugs removed, nothing else. He ended the call by rudely saying that I can take my business elsewhere next time. I was quoted service for a proper pool closing, but all I received was a bill for $280 to install my pool cover (which I could easily have done myself).
In short this company is a scam. The few reviews they have are probably fake. If you care at all about the lifespan of your pool, or working with a professional and respectable pool cleaning company, then look elsewhere. Because, like me, you will have to hire another pool service company to come out do it after Just-Pool is done. read more
