HORRIBLE POOL SERVICE! Last Summer it was their techs showing up on a Sunday, drinking alcohol in the company van and tossing their 40 oz. cans in my trash. They didn't even fire the guy. And he never showed up on the same day. It always changed depending on when he felt like doing it.
This year has been more of the same. They refuse to wear masks, and I've asked the owner 3 times to have them do that. Yesterday, instead of waiting for me to come out and unlock the gate, they drove off and said, "F*** YOU," to my spouse when he said I was on my way out with the keys, But it was 6 p.m. on Friday. Time to start the weekend. Then they expect me to sit here all day Monday, again, waiting on them.
Today I called the Pool Center and spoke with Ed, the owner, and he interrupted; said his employees didn't use that language (uh, Ed wasn't there, and I doubt the employee would admit to that). He was dismissive and instead of listening, just said, "We'll just take you off the schedule and won't come to your property anymore." Fine with me. That's why I was calling. And he was rude and could care. Less. I asked him if it would be okay if some came over and said, "F*** YOU to his spouse. He didn't want to answer that. He just got ruder, like we should accept and expect profanity out of the pool boy whose being paid by me to WORK.
Their pool boy also left out a plastic container of chlorine tablets which my puppy got open and could have been injured or poisoned. The pool boy also left a long metal brush used for cleaning the pool in the grass, where it got mowed over by the lawnmower because it was hidden in the grass. No accountability there.
Essentially, getting pool service from this place is useless. They do not communicate well or show up on time. They expect you to just sit for days waiting for them to arrive at their leisure. And the owner was just rude about the whole thing. Fine with me. It sounds like they need more time to keep up with their work. I'm happy to take some off their overburdened shoulders. They also have zero concern as a business about their customers' safety and will knock on your door without a mask; get crabby if you ask them to; and they really do not care if one of their workers goes and infects someone and they get Covid-19 and die. They want that $$$$ for the drive-by pool service.
lol....then the owner boo-hoo'd to me about having to work 7 days a week during the Summer because he owns A POOL BUSINESS. Maybe he should have thought about the before owning one. Oh put on your big-boy pants. When I owned my business, I worked 7 days a week, too. It's called, "owning a business." Get over it or get out of it if you can't do it right or handle the load.
And if the customer called to complain about their pool boy saying, "F*** YOU to a customer, the customer is probably not making that up. Why would he?
I tried working with this outfit for two years; got poor service; and spent a LOT of money. They are $$$$. Don't you make the same mistake.
And I am calling CapitalOne and filing a dispute against them. read more
