In a word, awful. Customer service was horrendous. If you want to know why I say that, read on!
I called to schedule a pool opening 3 weeks out. The day came, I called to confirm the appointment at 10:45am, the rude man I spoke to (who didn't identify himself) curtly told me I was number two on the list and the crew would just show up sometime in the afternoon and there would be no phone call to say they were on the way.
So I took the day off work to wait for them. And that's all I did, wait for them. At 3:30pm I called and was told the crew called my number (which is a cell that only I possess) and spoke to some lady who said she did not want her pool worked on. I told them no one had called me and that I had confirmed the appointment at 10:45am. They debated whether or not they were going to reschedule since I had canceled, which I had not.
They did reschedule for the next day. Because I had some business to tend to at the office, I scheduled them to arrive at 10:30am. The arrived at 9:30am when I wasn't home. Fortunately my wife and daughter were. However, the crew did not ring the bell or knock on the door. They just walked around the house, broke in to the pool area (it was a locked gate) and started working.
The workman (Dave) added one gallon of algaecide and went to turn on the filter but found a piece broke. Dave told my wife the fix would be easy as soon as he brought the part over (he didn't have it with him). He said he'd be back when he got around to it.
I called to file a complaint about that. Dave showed up the next day (Friday), fixed the filter and got it running. Said he'd be back Monday, "at least I say that." There were no more chemicals added to the water. I'm no pool expert (which is why I called them), but I know a pool opening requires more than a gallon of algaecide. But that's all they were offering.
We took water to another pool company who tested it and got us on track to get the pool ready for use. I contacted Saraceni's and told them not to return. On Tuesday, guess who showed up and started breaking in to the pool area again (no ringing the doorbell, no knock on the door)? Yep, Dave. Fortunately my wife and daughter were home to tell them to leave the property.
Next we received a bill in the mail for the full price of a pool opening. Two days later (before I had the chance to pay it or dispute it) my credit card (that was on file with them) was charged the full price.
Never again. My advice to you is be careful with this company. They are rude and do not offer customer service. read more
