Keith Zars Pools - Our KZP pool!

We have been in the pool for several months since completion and I wanted to thank the KZP team for…read moreaddressing things. No real big issues and the pool has been a added pleasure for sure. However there are some updates minor things that have occurred since we have been swimming: 1. A pipe cracked after the cold weather and even included the actual pipe for connecting the hoses to it. (Replaced entire components free of charge since having the LLSP coverage/1year warranty-highly recommend!!! 2. The vacuum was not suctioning well-replaced connection and took out extra weights for water tube for vacuum (last week) 3. Pool light flickering-came out to fix right away 4. Assisted with calcium build up-told me what to buy and showed me what to do 5. Check the auto fill due to overfilling-came right out to fix The only negative I have is when doing the quarterly LLSP I haven't seen a report for quality of items, chemicals added, updates on what they've done. However, the last visit with the female and male personnel (last week) were outstanding and was showing me everything in addition to addressing concerns. I appreciated them doing this and hope they get made aware that they did a great job! Overall experience with KZP has been great! No complaints and don't regret any decisions made by going with this company...true to word every step of the way! Yes, may not be cheaper than others but please review the "quality and warranties" when reviewing the contracts. Definitely do some research prior to signing, learn which equipment is one versus another, structuring of the pool (pipe installed) etc. Understand the reputations of companies, Ie, Houzz app, BBB, google reviews etc. We plan to renew warranty as we have had several things happened and want to be covered as we have experienced great service for getting items addressed and can only imagine the cost if not covered.

I've been doing business with them for 20 years, ever since they installed my pool, including…read moreweekly maintenance. Last week, the pool cleaner told me the water was low, so I filled it. It was low, but after running the hose for two hours, the pool still wasn't filling, and I ended up wasting a lot of water. I called them and told them the pool was not filling up after 2 hours of trying to fill it, but no one came for over five days, and during that time the water kept dropping. I've never seen it that low, so I was worried there was a serious leak. When the repair guy finally came out, he called me several times but didn't seem to know why the water level was so low. He blamed me for not filling it, even though I fill it weekly or whenever the maintenance man tells me to. Eventually, he said the pool cleaner must have left something on, causing the water to drain -- and that was the explanation. Then I received a bill for $218. I called to explain what happened, but the owner was completely unhelpful. He put the blame on me and denied that the repair man ever told me the leak was caused by the pool cleaner not turning something off. In 20 years, I've never complained, and yet they treated me terribly. There must have been a huge change in ownership, they have never spoke to me in this way before. I have pictures from last week showing the water level just slightly below the white line, and I filled it immediately after receiving the maintenance man's email. He sends me pictures weekly after every visit. This company has changed in the last few years, even the cleaning is not like it used to be.

Dream Pool Creations is an awesome company. From the initial quote to post-completion service, you…read morefeel like you are a part of their family. They keep you informed throughout the process and are VERY transparent about what is going on. They always notify you when workers are coming, and the owner personally shows up multiple times each week to ensure that the work meets his very high standards. The quality of the workmanship is remarkable, our pool is a very simple rectangle but looks like something you would see in a resort. They will not only build your pool, but you can also have them do your maintenance at a very reasonable price. There is no doubt that Dream Pool Creations takes pride in their work and I would not even think twice about referring them to friends and family. I am a disabled veteran, so I had some requirements to ensure that I can use the pool safely. The owner spent hours with me designing a pool that would fit my needs and make sure I would be safe in the pool as well, this personal touch to already stellar service is something you do not experience often these days. After this process, I was provided with 3-D mock-ups of what the pool would look like in my backyard, which was instrumental in finalizing the design. Work began promptly and the work site was so clean at completion, you would never have been able to tell a pool was just installed. High-pressure sales tactics are not used by this company, they provided me with a fair quote upfront. They will not call you a week later and tell you "If you agree now, we can take 10% off", or "I spoke with my manager and I was told if you sign now, we will give you a discount." Follow-ups were to ask if I had any questions and they were always respectful and never tried to guilt trip me or sway me to make an emotional purchase decision, it is obvious that Dream Pool Creations wants to establish a great vendor/customer relationship, not just sell you a pool.

From the owner: We are proud of our work and we will make your dream backyard a reality! read more

I wasn't really looking to visit a Leslie's store, but since it was nearby I remembered that I had…read moreto ask about a problem with my heater. I immediately thought that the store clerk was going to sucker me into purchasing a new unit, and that's truly the reason why I'd been hesitating for quite some time to deal with the matter. So about two weeks ago, I finally decided to get it taken care of. Plus, it's about the right time to enjoy my pool...I was greeted by the store associate, I believe he's the manager of the establishment---I came to this deduction because of his knowledge in the industry. His name was Freddy...so I started to explain the problem with my heater, he asked if my heater was reading codes off the display panel. I said 'yes.' He was quickly able to explain the problem and what caused the problem with meticulous detail. By the time he finished, I felt like for the first time I really understood my equipment. And best of all, it turned out that I did not have to spend a dime to resolve the issue. I went home to tell my husband all about it.....to my surprise, apparently a tech from a pool company had just stopped by, but interestingly, the technician took close to an hour to "figure out the problem." Ironically, it only took Freddy 5 minutes to resolve the problem without even looking at the heater. Freddy did recommend to call the Leslie's service department. I do understand that my heater will need to be replaced soon, but the difference is that when the time comes, I wont hesitate to make the investment with Leslie's. After this rain, I plan to take my water sample to Freddy to help me out with my green pool. :)

It was working when it was disconnected so just wanted to know if he tested it by some means to make that determination but was happy to charge me another 200 for another person to come out and take a look.

Paradise Decks & Spas - Backyard Dimension One Spa and Umbrella in a Deck

Paradise Decks & Spas

We purchased a custom built deck and a spa from Paradise Decks & Spas, San Antonio, in 2022…read more We have been happy with the deck and spa both, until 2025 rolled around and our speakers stopped working, like a domino effect. Realizing they were out of warranty, we called Paradise's recommended serviceman at least 6 times and could not get him to return our calls. I called about 3-4 times to the sales rep in hopes he could light a fire under him to no avail. Giving up on the custormer service after the sale, I reached out to a local hot tub specialist. We learned that by replacing the speakers with the exact make/model we had before would mean purchasing 4 speakers that are advertised NOT to be waterproof! Maybe that was the problem all along. So, beware of the hot tub you purchase that won't have waterproof speakers AND don't count on get any follow up service from Paradise Spas in the future!

I know if I go into detail on the experience that I had, Jamie, the manager will become…read moreconfrontational , disrespectful, and again call me a liar. It took me weeks to get over the awful negative experience that I had with this company. I will just say that if you are an elderly person, a woman, a dog owner, dislike a smoker smoking in your face, insist on high quality work and not taking shortcuts just because they aren't seen, hold people accountable for their word, work and actions, and keeping all the tools and trash picked up... this is NOT the company for you. My sales person, Frederick, was awesome & because of him I selected Paradise to build my Timber Tech deck. He did keep his word and put Jamie to shame for calling me, the customer paying her $5000, a liar. I was so very disappointed in the lack of professionalism, the poor quality of work, the shortcuts taken, and poor knowledge of not only the city codes, but Timber Techs guidelines and codes. Save yourself nothing but grief and stay away. You will see the nasty disrespectful comments I'm sure Jamie will come back with after my post. Even her employees say the same thing, actually worse, about her. I was so excited to partner with them & thought it was going to be a fantastic experience. Shame on me for not reading all the bad reviews they had.
