As a first-time pool owner, I was overwhelmed when I realized how outdated and messy my pool…read moreequipment was. I reached out to a few companies for help, but ultimately chose Justin from Viking Pools & Spa, and I'm so glad I did! Justin is everything you'd hope for in a pool professional: reliable, knowledgeable, and incredibly thorough. He took the time to assess all the issues, fixed everything that needed attention, and completely reorganized the PVC piping so the system now looks clean, modern, and professionally installed and I can control every aspect from my phone. What really stood out was how clearly he explained the entire system to me. He broke it down in a way I could actually understand, which gave me so much more confidence in maintaining it going forward. He made the entire process smooth and stress-free, and his work truly exceeded my expectations. If you're looking for someone you can trust with your pool, I highly recommend Justin and Viking Pools & Spas!

Justin at Viking Pool Service has been wonderful to work with and has done an incredible job on two…read moredifferent projects for me and my 1980's-era in-ground pool. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to build, repair, or replace any equipment for your pool. The first project a few years ago was to replace my outdated single-speed pump with a more energy-efficient variable-speed pump. I decided also to replace the old rusted mechanical-dial electrical box with an internet & app-connected Pentair EasyTouch panel, new automatic valves, and all new plumbing. I started with calling a few companies to come look at my setup to get some estimates. One company didn't return my message. Another company made an appointment with me and never showed up for it. Yet another company came out (the owner and his assistant) and they both spent almost an HOUR with me. They were very friendly and very knowledgeable, but they never sent over the estimate and didn't return any follow-up calls for some reason. Maybe they were too busy with other jobs. (If you are reading this review, perhaps you've encountered the same.) Justin at Viking Pool Service returned my calls, showed up on time for our appointment, proposed a much better solution than the other one that I did get and at a better price. He showed up for the job when he said he would and wow! Excellent craftsmanship. The way he re-organized the existing mess of PVC runs and valves and got everything installed was clever and way better than before. Sooo happy with the finished result! Love the convenience of running and programming the pool from my phone way more than I thought I would. This year, my pool heater finally went out and needed a replacement. I didn't bother to call anyone else this time for an estimate except Justin. Again, what an excellent job he did from start to finish. A day or so later we discovered a small leak coming from inside the heater, which turns out to have been some internal part that the manufacturer didn't seal correctly. Justin came back the next morning at no extra charge to take the unit apart and fix/re-seal the component (some kind of internal manifold) that was causing the leak. Thank you, Justin!

After 3+ years we decided to move on from this company who did some service work without prior…read moreauthorization. The owner told us he 'assumed' we wanted the work done when we actually only wanted to get his take on what was wrong to plan on doing the work in the future. When we reached out to him to discuss he didn't even have the respect to respond to our concerns. In addition after reaching out about this issue his tech never showed up again to service without any notice. This company nickels and dimes you for every little thing. When I interviewed two new companies they both told me everything would be included (all chemicals) in their monthly charge. Might want to re-evaluate what you are getting.....

They were very quick to respond to my message / phone call which is huge since my dad was with out pool service for a couple months and was flaked on a couple times. After my pops meet up with Clean Pools he was very impressed and started service immediately. They are very knowledgeable and got his pool looking better then i've seen it before. He is also getting a hand rail installed in the pool and hot tub so he can safely use them. Ill Definitely recommend them to anyone i hear looking for a new pool professional

I have in text from Seth saying he is not the owner and can not help me with any issues but on Yelp…read morehe clearly says that he is the owner. Folks watch out for this company. They serviced my pool on two weeks and they billed me for a month of service. The pool cleaning lady came out and did not even have experience with the equipment, cleaning person told me that my salt balance is off and asked her to are you going to adjust the the machine and she said that she does not know how to work it. I texted Seth and he said he does not all employees know how to adjust it and they all do a different job and not all have experience that is all in text. Then how are they going to keep my salt water adjusted properly. They do not send someone else to do it. Also there communication is terrible I texted Seth on few issues like some repair and replace a pump. Did not answer me till a few days after and said that he is sorry and but he is to busy and was not able to get to me. The future with this company would have been a disaster no experience for the employee with machines and equipment and bad communications. Also after two weeks not happy with service Seth says he is sticking me with the one year contract and trying to force me with 1800.00 dollars. Do not sign contract because they can give you terrible service and try to stick you with contract. He threatened me with the lawyer of suing me instead of trying to make matters better. I have all this in text by Seth. Watch out watch out for this company.

I am pleased to say, I have been able to complete nearly every situation myself, with the exception of a pool sweep installation which was handled by one of their top pool technicians. Their are truly honest and reputable, and I would recommend them to anyone needing any service for their pool.

This is the follow up to my pool surface being ruined by high acid from Johnson Pool Maintenance…read more The acid was so high it ate the rubber off the wheels of the pool sweep. Just to clarify, the grandkids of the original Johnson Pool folks are taking no responsibility for the damage.

Nobody from Johnson ever contacted me about the pool sweep or the plaster being ruined because they were charging me $200 per month and never opening the cover.

In response to a clean and drain of my disabled mom's hot tub, upon hearing me say that I know how to perform the maintenance as required by the maintenance schedule but that her time in a care facility had resulted in the spa needing a drain/clean, asked me analysis details that i clearly cannot confirm from my physical location 100 miles away as I'm sitting at my desk just off of work because (surprise!) this isn't the only data point I've been keeping with a fragile family member and a data intensive career. He then continued to try to basically talk me away from using his service by reiterating that he has no electronic payment mechanisms (fine, not preferred, but would have worked around), and then that he might not be a fit. Waste of great responsiveness and very frustrating to be expected to singularly memorize alkalinity readings on my mom's hot tub from a month ago. Lol. I just need it drained and the funk cleaned. Is that too much for an overwhelmed woman to ask for for her mom? Two stars for responsiveness. Call left me quite frustrated though (get your cava tea ready for after).
