The guy knows what he's doing, but fails at running a business. He also "fired me for too many calls/texts." I never asked him for a break in his fee yet every time I contacted him he spoke of it but never asked for payment. Once he said "just pay me $60." Also, he would just go in my yard to assess my situation as per my text but would never knock and say "I'm here show me the problem." Last time when my skimmer valve was too hard for me to open (a valve that he replaced 2 years ago) he came, took a video of him opening the valve and stating "there's nothing wrong with it, I knew this would be a waste of my time in the future use another pool service. " He's a man, he can easily open the valve but I still cannot! I'd have gladly paid him for the service call, but he didn't ask. It seems to me that there was a communication breakdown... I called for service, I'd have gladly paid him but he doesn't know how to say ' you owe me $140," That's how you run a business! See ya Joe. read more
