Jake The Pool Guy had a solution saving me lots of money.

Outstanding work, excellent customer service, dependable, and honest. 2014 my pool heater went out, and being a DYI pool maintenance household I didn't have someone who could fix it. I didn't want to just call the local pool store chain. My first call for an estimate was The Pool Guy. Bob Saedi was able to swing by the same day. He looked over my equipment and found that due to the age of the heater it would be more cost effective to replace the heater versus replacing parts. After getting the okay he quickly returned with my new heater and his helper Jake Gunn who is an extremely bright young man. After they finished I was given a tutorial. Over the years when something breaks Jake has come to my rescue. It gives me great piece of mind knowing he's just a phone call away. In fact just today Jake did a repair that saved me money. Sunday while cleaning the salt cell my husband broke a PVC piece on our equipment and did a home patch job till I could get a hold of Jake. I took a picture of it and texted to him. The next business day Jake phoned me with questions to clarify the situation which he already had a solution in mind. Instead of cutting a bunch of plumbing which I didn't have a lot to work with in the first place, Jake's solution (See photo) was to cut off the cracked union and replace it with a split union. (Jake if you're reading this you are so clever!) Saved me money and it works perfectly. If you ever need anything related to pool service, equipment, or supplies I just want you to know from that first service to this day I've been a satisfied happy customer for 6 years and I honestly can't recommend Jake The Pool Guy enough.

The pool Guys are the best. Spoke to Bob who set us up with a new filter we needed and answered all questions we had. Jake showed up the following day on time friendly and professional. Switched out our equipment with no problems. Jake also answered any questions we had. Great guys! Will use them again for our pool needs.

Okay here's the thing I gave them another chance and they blew it. Jake, it's really cool that you kept trying but if you keep employing people that cant demonstrate professionalism then you're going to keep having a problem. The guy that ended up showing up to do our pool had a chip on his shoulder from the very beginning. We were having problems with the timer for the pump he said he fixed it and had it set to run all night (mind you our pool is super small) and he said that is how that particular pump is designed to run. I trusted that and let him do his thing. The problem is when we would run the jacuzzi we did something that reset it (first time pool owners here) and so I asked him next time he came if he could figure out why it wasn't running after we used the jacuzzi. He was irritated and very obvious about it. My husband was home for lunch one day and went out to talk to him and the first thing he said when he came back in the house was Wow, that guy doesn't like his job huh? And I was like ok good good at least it's not just me that caught that vibe. My husband is a super nice guy that gets along with everyone so I know it was definitely true. THEN we got our Edison bill. It was over $500 in a month where it wasn't even hot yet and we weren't running the AC so it had nothing to do with that. I told him obviously it wasn't "designed" to run all night if it was going to increase our bill that much. He said he needs it run all night so that it makes it easier for him to his job and I thought you mean so you don't have to work as hard... and I responded with well you aren't going to pay my Edison bill so we're going to have to come to sort of compromise. My step-dad who was here visiting and has worked for Intel as a water treatment specialist for the past 30 years helped us with some tips to keep the water looking nice in between visits and he was able to figure out the timer to where it ran for 4 hours at night during off peak times. After that our bill was good. I never went out to talk to the guy again but I would look out the window and see him doing little things like shaking his head, writing little notes that said DON'T TOUCH THE START BUTTON, one time there was a pair of goggles in the pool (probably from the wind because I always made sure everything was out by the time he came) and he took them out and threw them. Legit. Witnessed it with my own eyes. One day I noticed that when I got up in the morning the pool was still running. I called my husband and asked if he changed the timer and he said no. I asked him to check it when he got home but he forgot for a couple days. Then the next time I went downstairs and it will still running in the morning again and I realized there are some mornings that I don't go downstairs right away and I thought so this means it could have been running all night long for who knows how long! Then I got my Edison bill. $782 dollars. And before you say it's from the AC it's not because our AC is broken right now and we are in the process of getting quotes to replace it. I called Jake, no answer. He called me back the next day and I told him that I think the guy changed our timer to run all night again and I was really pissed about that because we specifically told him not to do that and we had it set to run for four hours which was more than sufficient to keep the pool looking good enough and so sorry that you have to actually do your job and maybe here a little longer than 15 mins which is the time they usually like to spend and that's it. No apologies, was just like well we need to figure something else out and at that point I was like you know what no, I'm done for real this time. He was like Okay, no problem I'll send you a bill for the one visit this month. I haven't paid the $30 yet but I will. The way I see it they owe me money for that Edison bill. But whatever, it's better to just be done with them. We bought a vacuum, professional skimmer and chlorine tablets and everything we needed for under a $100 and my husband took care of the pool last week and looks great. So bottom line, my advice is save yourself some money and a major headache and do it yourself.

We recently moved to a home with a waterfall and wading pool that wasn't working. Jake came out and quickly assessed what was needed and within a week, an efficient pump and filter system was installed. The Pool Guy (Bob and Jake) were professional and explained the installation process and how to care for the waterfall. Highly recommend these guys.

Stay away from this business if you can. They sold me an Optimum Simple Cell 15 less than a year ago that has stopped working and they won't honor the warranty. Unfortunately I paid cash and can't find the receipt. They had me looking up my bank account and credit card account for proof when I realized I had paid cash. They then asked me to give them the date and they would look for the transaction. After a few days and bothering friends, we figured out the date. I called them back and gave them the date only to be told that without the receipt then can't honor the warranty. "Bad Business". They had me running around in circles for 5-6 days for nothing. The bottom line is they were trying to "not" honor the warranty all along. If they see the transaction exactly how I described it then what is the problem!! When a business wants to work with you, they will. Those are "GOOD" Businesses. I will tell everyone I know to stay away from that business.A representative at Optimum Pool Tech who is the manufacturer of the cell that is damaged states that they are somewhat flexible and list many options to make the warranty valid including a specific date which is what I provided.. The Pool Guy employee saying that a receipt was necessary to honor the warranty is "not true". Very Bad Customer Service!

Discovered that our pool wasn't being cleaned or chemicals balanced after watching our surveillance. Our pool turned green.

Affordable Pool Care - TWO days ago this pool was dark dark green!  I'm glad I called this company.

Affordable Pool Care

Affordable Pool Care saved our bacon! My husband normally took care of our pool, and let's be…read morehonest... It was more like let it turn green and then shock it back to blue! Well we went on vacation and left instructions with my father in law to add chemicals while we were gone. Unfortunately he completely forgot about it for 2 weeks in the middle of summer, and we came back to a swamp! I called around, and we received a couple of different quotes from guys that could barely put together a sentence and honestly didn't seem to have a clue what they were doing. Thank god I discovered Yelp and found Matt! Several of the pool guys we called had suggested draining our pool and acid washing it. Matt pointed out that not only would that not work with our pool,(It is a fiberglass pool) but that it was going to end up costing almost double what it would cost to do it with their process! I can't thank the guys at Affordable enough. They warned us that it might take a couple weeks to straighten out our pool that was a swamp, and I don't know how they did it, but it cleaned up to perfect in less than 3 days. If you are looking for an honest, experienced, and trustworthy pool service, you've found your guys. Matt shows up every week and does a fantastic job on our pool, and it's been such a relief not having to have my husband worry about the pool.

Requested an estimate 3 weeks ago. Never received a response. No problem. I will take my business…read moreelsewhere
