UNRELIABLE AND POOR COMMUNICATOR. I would have given less than one star but was unable to do so. He…read morerescheduled my initial appointment 2 hours before he was to arrive. He came the next day said he would return the following day to repair the pool heater. I then had to follow up at which time he stated he had to order parts and it wouldn't be back for four more days for the repair. The day of the repair I had not heard from him so I texted at 1pm to ask when he would arrive at which point he stated he was unable to get the part due to circumstances out of his control. I requested the part numbers so that I could order the parts for him. At that time he stated that he would not give them to me and in fact no longer cared to help me. See screen shot of texts.

He wasn't the cheapest, but he offered the most services bundled together at a reasonable rate, was prompt, quick to reply, quick to get the work done and made himself available even after servicing our hot tub for any questions or troubleshooting. After talking with retailers, so called hot tub experts and bigger companies that all charge an arm and a leg or smaller companies with no reviews on yelp, Pflugerville Pool Co was a relief to find. I thought that all pool and hot tub owners would have to put up with being gouged by these companies because that's the nature of the business. Garrett didn't upsell, like every other company did. He wanted to make sure we found the best products at the best prices (at places like Amazon). See if he works in your area (even if you're not in Pflugerville like us) and you'll get excellent service at a reasonable price.

A few months later we received a letter from the new owners' lawyer saying we failed to disclose information from Estilo about the pool and demanded $60,000!

Which is good because I'm thinking of updating my pool (it's old and dated, like me! LOL) He was telling me some horror stories of people who have gotten taken by pool contractors... wow. :-( Too bad it can be such a shady business. I didn't realize that Castilo Pools has been building and renovating pools for 30 years... I thought they were new to the business because their store just opened up in Pflugerville recently. Anyway, he got everything going for the price of a service call (cheap) and I couldn't be more impressed with this company.

His crew even tried to drain the neighbor's pool into our backyard and when we stopped them, they moved the hose and tried to dump it into the next neighbor over's yard. It took Jim coming out to finally get the hose in the street. DeMeo may be low cost but it's because they use the cheapest labor possible and our neighbor is already complaining of broken pumps and leaks.

Tried calling them over and over to get someone out to fix it and they are unresponsive. Not only did they do a bad job with their repair work but they won't even come out to look at it. As a disclaimer it is post covid and all pool companies are busy right now but absolutely terrible service. They should come out and repair their poor work. Do not recommend.

Tri-County Pools has just resurfaced our 20,000 gallon in-ground pool with PebbleSheen. We had had…read morethe pool replastered 5 years ago and that job had begun failing within the first couple of years. We'd taken the low bid back then. This time we took the high bid--and are glad we did. The previous job had left out the essential step of the Bond Coat to glue the new surface to the old. This time Tri-County chipped out all the previous plaster, sprayed a thick layer of bond coat, and then resurfaced it with a beautiful layer of Arctic White PebbleSheen. We were VERY IMPRESSED with how thoroughly the job was done. Much more work went into it than the job 5 years ago. From start to finish, the work crews were thorough, careful and cleaned up after themselves. And the pool looks better than ever. I recommend Tri-County Pools. Let me add that there'd been a misunderstanding on my part of one of the costs; Steve responded promptly and we amicably negotiated a resolution. I was impressed.

Chris was easy to talk to and he wanted to meet our particular need. He wasn't trying to get the most money out of the transaction, but looking to help us with his expertise. We ended up only using Chris to fix our equipment, which he did for much less than the quoted $6500. We still need to get a little more work done with the pool. Chris has already ensured he will come out to help make the process of working the pool easier, so I will update the review at that time, but for now, Chris and Brothers Pools have been a pleasure to work and I would recommend him to anyone in the Killeen and Austin area.

Recently bought a home in Temple Texas and to my dismay it came with a pool! The pool was old and…read moreI knew that it would need to be re-plastered at a minimum but less than a year later, yeah, I was upset. Anyhow, the wife and I did what all people do and got multiple quotes and estimates for work that needed to be done. I'm not here to mention any other company but Brother's Pools! Chris was amazing, of all the companies we had contacted he was the only one to show up within 48 hours (at the house), took his time looking at the condition of the pool (inside the pool and pool house), spent over an hour explaining what needed to be done (minimum... and to the wife) and what should be done. The next day he submitted a quote/contract to my wife and I which broke down every expense, while still being completely reasonable. I say this because we had a few contractor come over, they spent less than 10 minutes on site and gave us a verbal quote. They didn't get in the pool, look at the filtration system, nope, just said it was the busy season and told us it would not be done until the end of July or beginning of August. That said, my wife still wanted more quotes! Chris was patient and didn't bother us, in fact, when I called him I was a little embarrassed that it took us a month to get back to him. Need less to say, Chris was gracious, asked what else we wanted done and made yet another trip out to the house! We signed a plain English contract that stated specifically the work to be performed. Three days after the contract was signed, Chris had a crew chipping out the plaster, then two days after that, had a guy replace all the plumbing, minor electrical, and the Mastic. Another couple of days passed when Chris called and asked politely if he could have his crew out to the house in the morning to begin plastering. At this point my wife was blown away because he was doing exactly what he said he would/could do, faster and more efficient than anyone else we received a quote from! After the plaster was completed, Chris came out to inspect, just as he had done for each phase of the operation. He personally, acid washed the pool and went through the filling process. Wait, there's more, he brought and applied all start up chemicals when the pool was full, brought new pool equipment (brush, net, pole..etc), and walked us through the filtration system again. There were no hidden fees, the dollar amount on the contract was exactly what we paid! The only additional expense I had was the Step Tile my wife purchased, which Chris installed for free while the guys were plastering. I've probably rambled on long enough about this company, but I cannot pay them enough compliments; these people are professional, courteous, efficient, knowledgeable and they truly streamline the process! For this reason I give Chris at Brothers Pools my highest recommendation without any reservations. Thanks for reading, if you are in the market for any kind of pool service, give these guys a call, you can thank me later for it! -Alex and Tiffany Temple, Texas
