Trust these guys! I had a disastrous start to my pool season. And to make matters worse a liner…read morethat had major wrinkles. It was going to be a long wait for any of the companies I called to come and estimate the repairs. But these men came by within a few days and said the liner was old and hadn't gone to back to its shape (or had stretched) . They also left me with a quote for a new liner but stated the vinyl was probably not going to do well with a wrinkle repair. They charged me nothing for their time and opinion. One of them stated if you can deal with the ugly wrinkle, I'd leave it until you can replace it. I appreciated the honesty and the fact he didn't try to sell me his services.

I was absolutely thrilled with the quality of service that I received from Brandon. I called on a…read moreFriday evening and he was at my house on Monday morning. He quoted my job over the phone and when it was time to pay him it was exactly that amount. I felt like the service he provided was cost efficient and I felt that he was extremely trustworthy. My pool was fixed within the hour. I will keep his number in my phone and certainly suggest my friends and family do the same.

I'm extremely disappointed with how this situation was handled. I hired this company to come out…read morebecause my pool liner was pulling away from the wall in a few areas, and while he was here I also had him install liner lock. During the job, he dropped his scissors and punctured my pool liner. He patched the hole, but my liner now has a permanent patch because of damage that occurred while he was working on my pool. What bothered me even more was how the situation was handled afterward. I had been quoted $500 for the job, yet I received an invoice for $515 with no initial discount or adjustment whatsoever for the damage to my liner. When I called to discuss it, he genuinely seemed shocked that I would expect any sort of discount and felt I should still pay the full amount. I made it very clear that I was NOT expecting the job to be free. I simply felt that when a company damages a customer's property while performing a service, some reasonable compensation or adjustment should be made. After our conversation, he eventually offered 10% off the $515 invoice. Considering that I now have a hole and patch in a pool liner that did not have one before he arrived, I found that response incredibly disappointing. Accidents happen. I understand that. My issue is not simply that the scissors were dropped- it's how the company handled it afterward. Taking responsibility for damage to a customer's property and making a genuine effort to make it right is part of good customer service. Between being invoiced for more than the $500 I was quoted, initially being expected to pay the full amount despite the damage, and then having my concern treated as unreasonable, the entire situation felt very unprofessional. I would not recommend this company based on my experience.

A 1 star review is too generous. We hired Pool Force at the beginning of the year to design and…read morebuild an inground vinyl pool with concrete decking and a pavilion. Our contract end date was July 24 and we still have yet to make our last payment to the company. To start - communication from the owner is non-existent. Not once did we have a project manager meet with me or visit our property. For 2-3 weeks after excavation started, I could not get a hold of anyone at the company via phone or email. They dumped tons of gravel in our street without notice and we were cited by the city during this time as well. Second - We have a generous side yard with ample space for equipment, materials, etc to be left. We assumed and prepared to have our yard tore up BUT we did not plan for them also destroying our neighbors yard, dumping gravel in her flower beds, accidentally spraying concrete on her house, and damaging her gate and fence beyond repair. Third - During the liner installation, it was ripped in 2 places. At this point, we were already past our scheduled completion date and I asked them to just patch the holes and give us a discount equal to a new liner instead of starting over. Once we filled the pool up, a few days went by and the steps began the settle. Walking through the shallow end felt like walking on sand in some spots and sure enough, there were divots and craters that started showing up. I alerted the company and they drained the pool, pulled the liner back to fix the floor, and refilled it (hello extra water bill). The pool is now worse than it was before it was drained. The pictures attached (on Google review) are its end state...does this look like a $65k pool to you? Finally after a nearly 3 month delay for no apparent reason and cold weather, the pool is finally complete. I received the final invoice and was less than thrilled at the discount given for the damaged pool floor and liner and there was no remedy offered for the damage to the neighbor's property. *side note* - At some point during the installation, the company owner asked if we wanted Wi-Fi/remote functionality on our pump equipment. I said sure, if there's no additional charge, and thought nothing else of it. I asked for them to make it right by giving us an appropriate discount, and instead the owner brought up how he "upgraded" our system and added additional lights to the pool (which I never asked for or knew were being installed until after the fact). The free "upgrade" does not cancel out the damage to the liner and pool floor. Know what he said? They're going to take out the "upgraded" system and replace it with the basic one in our contract.....and STILL not give the discount that was requested. Overall, my backyard is beautiful and I'm grateful to have a peaceful space to come home to...BUT the process to get here has been horrendous and to have a less than perfect result after a total project cost of over 6 figures is extremely disappointing. Stay away from Pool Force. They do not have the experience or business acumen needed to run a company with contracts this size. It's unfortunate their bad reviews started popping up after we signed our contract but I hope that with enough research, people will discover they are not the right company to do business with.

We have used the service for years for openings,…read moreclosings and service in between (mostly because we had renters in our home for 2 of the last 4 years). For the first two years, they were disorganized, but always very nice and the pool always looked great. We would rarely receive a bill and had to ask for one, which was often wrong. The service visits were supposed to be bi-weekly, but sometimes they would show up weekly (we are unaware of the frequency of visits while we had renters). We let them know of the mixup and eventually received the corrected bill (at the end of the season, for the whole season). They only accept Venmo as online payment, which credit card companies apparently see as a fraud hazard, so getting a proper bill and paying it was a challenge. Either way, we still liked them because they were always so nice. This year, I called and spoke to a woman from Atlantis Pools to set up our pool opening and bi-weekly service. The opening (May 8) was fine except when they left, the pool was a little cloudy. They said they would return to vacuum it once it settled and "finalize the opening" the next day. No one showed up the next day, but instead came on May 13. This was a young woman who was new (and alone) and didn't know how to do everything. According to a conversation later with the owner, she didn't know which vacuum to use (or something to that effect), which is why the pool still had debris in it when she left. She also didn't know how to connect the Polaris (perhaps send someone with her until she learns everything??). She came again on May 15 and connected the Polaris, finalizing the pool opening. I was never told the "finalize the opening" visits would each be an extra $95 charge. I didn't request these visits. Our bill states the charges as a "green to clean" charge, but our pool was not green. These things aren't even the worst of it. When the first actual service visit came around, no one showed up! I called the owner, who was rude and dismissive. He said we weren't on his calendar despite me setting it all up with whomever answered the phone the first time I called. He eventually said, "It's not going to happen today! I can send someone out tomorrow." He said asked which plan we were on, weekly or biweekly. I said biweekly. Someone came out the next morning and again (not sure why) in the afternoon. The young woman and a man walked up to our pool pump, looked at it and said, "F*** this. I ain't doin' sh**. Let's ride." We have a security camera and saved the footage. The next service date came and went with no visit. We let the owner know of all of this and he continued the pattern of unprofessional behavior. He suddenly decided that we hadn't given them a service contract (that we never received and have never had in the 3+ years we've used this company) so that's why they didn't show up. We checked spam folders, just in case. No such contract was sent. Save your time and frustration. Call someone else.
