My father is not an easy-to-please person. His longtime pool person passed away last year and I was…read morea little worried about who would be able to fill his shoes. I suggested to do a search on Yelp and he landed on Deluxe Pool Services. I held my breath... and they came through. The services he gets include opening/closing and weekly cleanings. Dad is especially impressed because whenever there are issues with his pool, their customer service is so top tier, they are on it immediately to resolve the problem. Their location is in CT but you can see from the reviews that they work with pools all over LI (and apparently as far as Albany, according to my father). Their maintenance people are fast, friendly and thorough (I've been at the house a couple times when they serviced the pool). Reasonably priced, too. Important to note that my father is someone who doesn't tolerate inconsistent timeliness (this probably goes for 9/10 dads, no?) and they are always on time or they call. You really can't ask for anything more when it comes to pool services.

***STAY AWAY*** Zero problems until we used this company…read more Requested basic chemical maintenance & install new part to our filter. Had to call them to come back 4 more times to fix things they botched every time they were here. Nobody spoke English. Never on time. No call & no show twice after agreeing on a set schedule. Lost money using this company. We've since switched to a real company & had amazing service & zero issues! If you want a clueless company who can't take care of a puddle, is non responsive & completely incompetent- these fools are for you!!! Only competent person in that whole company was the receptionist, 10/10. The rest of the company doesn't even deserve one star.

I called for service and they were all busy. I don't live near them, and all of their technicians were further away from me than they were The woman who answered the phone was concerned and said he would have a technician. Call me back with some solutions. She offered a few herself and I'm nervously waited for that call. Before the end of the day, the technician called me. I had a solution which worked and my hot tub is safe until they can get someone out here to fix it. I'm not a customer yet, but I will be for life

[Intro added in response to business owner feedback] Final…read morework product is excellent, scheduling is a bit ... laid back. The Three Cousins not only open/close pools, they offer creative solutions for the homeowner in need. They have open/closed our in-ground pool, power washed our home and exterior walkways, replaced a wooden gate, created a brick walkway and installed an interim drainage solution. They will shop for materials at Home Depot or the Pool Store if needed. Alternatively, you can provide all supplies. [This section of the review remains unchanged] We started using this company a few years back (when they were "Cousins Pool Service")*. Small, family business that was easy to reach via text. They've grown and now use a shared company phone/texting system to book appointments. We booked an appointment for an in ground pool opening today via text. When there wasn't anyone here by 2pm, my brother rang the company owner. His voicemail instructs you to ring the main company phone number. The receptionist collected the information and promised to call with an update. By 3:30 we figured they weren't going to call, so we called them. My brother explained everything (again), highlighting (again) that the appointment was confirmed via text. He was asked (again) who booked the appointment from the company. We have no idea who operates their company appointment booking system. The owner reached out via text to my brother just now (4:30) and confirmed we are not on the schedule. He asked for the details my brother has provided twice to the receptionist. Providing coverage to watch both of my parents is always a challenge as they are elderly. We booked the time and prepared the backyard. (Moving the heavy filter/pump monstrosity, buying chemicals, adding water to the pool, pumping water off the cover, etc, etc.) * The guys who work for this company are really nice. The previous review under the old company name is glowing. https://www.yelp.com/biz/cousins-pool-service-patchogue?hrid=KcDzSpBg2_97vHNZsAnYpg&utm_source=ishare&utm_content=review ------- [Response to business owner follows] James, Our family has done business with you a number of years. The end work product is excellent. It's important to show up. Full stop. Ideally, you should be on time. It's not the client's job to explain why their time is valuable. I'm sorry you were frustrated by this review. Habitual scheduling issues forced us to fire you. I flipped thru my phone to refresh my memory on two prior projects. Sean scheduled an 11am powerwash and was an hour late. He completed part of a 1-day project, returning the next day. When shopping for drainage/fencing material (3pm), the guys deviated to work for another client without any notice. Sunset was at 5:53pm with a storm that night. The old gate had been removed, the grass ripped off and a path dug into the ground. I'm glad the guys returned at 7:30 pm and enclosed the yard as we have an in-ground pool. However, putting sand into the hole was poor planning with rain on the horizon. It became mud. Additionally, the landscapers were unable to access the backyard with a moat. If you're in need of photos with timestamps, please advise. With some administrative structural changes your company can grow. I wish you only the best.

Pete and the team at Gus Pools are hands down the best contractors we've ever worked with-- period. Honest, reliable, incredibly responsive and fairly priced. (In fact their prices are too reasonable and should be raised!) Just nice, decent folks you don't see much of these days. His recommendations were also fantastic- we used his mason, Eddie who was also amazing. And his architect Genarro Finelli. I saw some negative posts by a few haters about not being able to get Gus to service certain people's pools, because they weren't built by Gus. That just motivated us to have Gus build our pool so they could service it!
