I have been a customer of True Quality Pool Service for several years. I met Rene when he first started his company, and in the beginning Rene did the weekly service himself. He was always prompt, professional and did a great job. When I had equipment issues Rene was there to diagnose, and repair. He is very knowledgeable and helpful. However recently, as the company grew to several employees the service has deteriorated dramatically. The service technicians are not supervised, and provided poor quality weekly service. The pool equipment was not checked as claimed. For example after draining one half of my pool to move some pipes, no one even looked to read the salt water meter which has been blinking "need salt" ever since, nor did anyone consider to replace the salt lost from the draining. We did a large deck replacement last month, and despite several assurances from Rene that he would mark the line where he wanted the trench to be dug to move the pipes, he never managed to do that. The contractor finally dug a trench in the general area, but when Rene's employee arrived to move the pipes it was not to his liking. He delayed the contractor 2 full days of waiting for the work to be done, and they ended up using a separate trench the contractor had dug for a drainage pipe, requiring the contractor to finally put in a french drain. Further, Rene promised to provide me a quote for the work in advance twice, but failed to do so. I was dismayed to receive a very large bill as soon as the pipes were relocated. The invoice was specifically for "relocate 2 valves, Vacuum pool, remove all dirt, clean filters". When I asked Rene to complete the vacuum service he told me that the vacuuming was "a courtesy", and that the pool did not need to be vacuumed. After I sent him a video, he finally agree to vacuum - which was poorly done and the pool is still very dirty after several weeks of service and running the cleaner. As a final step in closing to our weekly service agreement, after notifying Rene in the middle of this month that I will no longer be using his company for my pool, and having paid for the month of August in advance, he refusing to service the pool this week. His response was "Service has been competed for this month, we provided 4 weeks of service on 8-2, 8-9, 8-16 and 8-23". Wednesday August 30 is as far as I understand still in the month of August and the pool should have been serviced this week. Rene has grown his company dramatically, but not provided the employee training, or supervision necessary to grow a good service company. When questioned Rene constantly complains that he is "down 2 employees" or "has 400 pools to service" and is too busy to respond to his regular customers needs. I started with True Quality when it first opened and would have given rave reviews, and recommended Rene to friends. I would not recommend this company again to anyone for any reason. read more
