I had my pool resurfaced late last fall. Unfortunately, the coordination and communication from the…read morescheduler and project manager during the project were extremely disappointing. There were also warranty repairs needed after the pool was reopened this spring. Since then, the company has undergone some staffing changes, and it genuinely appears they are making a strong effort to improve customer service and responsiveness. My recent experience has been much more positive. Justin helped coordinate my warranty repair after several attempts to reach my previous contacts, who had since left the company. He quickly got everything scheduled, and Steve arrived exactly as promised. Steve was incredibly knowledgeable, took the time to explain what he was doing, and did an outstanding job resetting my pool light. I finally feel confident that the repair was done correctly. I'd also like to give a special shout-out to Hart. During the original project, when communication from the project team was lacking, he always answered my calls, listened to my concerns, and served as my liaison. He consistently found the information I needed and kept me informed when no one else did. His willingness to help made a very frustrating experience much more manageable. While the initial project had significant communication challenges, I truly appreciate the company's recent improvements and the outstanding service provided by Justin, Steve, and Hart. Great customer service really does make all the difference.

The whole problem was found and fixed in the same day. Brian is smart, efficient and dependable. I highly recommend The HotTubMan!

ALWAYS CALL before showing up or risk being disappointed! We've got a membership to the Columbia Association, but it seems that most of the time during a weekend they're actually doing their splashdown stuff which requires an extra few bucks upon entry.

I highly recommend BMA Landscaping to anyone looking for good quality, reliability, and fair price.

They removed the cover , saw the pump motor worked and checked to see the cartridges in the filter system, I was told they sweep a little. The whole process took 1 1/2!hrs. Need less to say the pool water was terrible and smelled. They said the put some shock in. First, the filtration system was not cleaning at all so I , put in an over amount of shock. It did take the smell away but still was not clean. Had my son recheck both top skimmers and found a plug was left so the water could not flow to the filter. Now after a few weeks I was able to get the cloudiness out of most of the water. Shock, the cleaning jets on the pool wall still had the plugs in them. So total plugs never removed were 6. No wonder I could never get the water clear. I paid a total of $575 because of my in-ground cleaning system , which could not work properly until I removed all the 6 plugs, which should have been done when they opened it. I was totally surprised this morning with a text from the owner of BMA pools. He had just come back from vacation and just read my text to him. He apologized for any of my inconvenience and sent me a refund of $200. If you ever get a company to service your pool , please ask how much time they will spend doing so and how much real experience the worker have doing your pool. E

As I approached the front door, it was obvious, the store was closed. It was a Friday at 3:30pm. On the door was a note that if you need supplies, call the number provided. I almost walked away but really needed these items. Upon calling, a friendly answer said they work fewer hours due to the time of year and were currently on there way out of town. Bummer. I received an immediate call back and was told she would meet me at the store and in less than five minutes, the front door was open. Talk about customer service! These folks are so nice to work with and prices are great too! Highly recommended'

When I called service they said they would replace it. Told me to send back the incorrect one & they will send me the correct one. No apology. Mailing cost to me $22. No label or code was provided.

Not their problem. This is a sale do they not want. I feel my business and my husband's business is not wanted. I DO NOT recommend shopping at Spa and Pool Sore. Customer service is nasty. Literally nasty.

I was looking for a new pool service closer to home. I had high hopes for this service, but saying…read moreI was disappointed would be a huge understatement. I had a yellow algae growth on the walls and floor of my pool. I paid $349.52 in chemicals, etc., in a total of four trips to the store. Not only did the algae not go away, it actually got worse. I am not sure anyone there knows what they are doing. To make matters worse, I scheduled an appointment with them at 4:00 PM on my next to last visit to the store. Not only did the guy not show up (even though I got an email that very morning confirming the time of the appointment), but I never even received a call saying that he was hung up, etc. And this was after I called them that very afternoon (around 5:00 pm) inquiring where their guy was. I was told that the office would check with him and get back to me. They too never called me back. If you care about your money and your time, this is not the place to go. I followed up with a visit to Sweetwater Pools in Catonsville presenting the same problem. The expertise and the help I received there was 180 degrees different. My pool is now starting to get back to normal again, and Connie was terrific. There has to be a reason why every time I go into Sunshine, there never seems to be any other customers present. I will be one more former customer. I have better things to do with my time and money. It is too bad because I really wanted to support a local family business. NOT THIS ONE ANYMORE! Jim F.
