Blue Lagoon Pool and Spa is AMAZING! Their staff is very knowledgeable and helpful and guess what,…read moresuper nice and friendly on top of that. I had used another pool company for 20+ years and the customer service became so horrible that I switched. I was advised to use products in my pool that I didn't need and basically threatened to have services I didn't need in order for them to service my pool. When I switched to Blue Lagoon, Breanna got me started on a product called Supreme plus. This has been AMAZING. My water is crystal clear and so easy to balance. I'm using less chemicals than ever. I used to add PH+ about every 3 days, now it is about every 3 weeks if even that. Their team is so knowledgeable about how to deal with any issue that arises. I have a creek in my bad yard, so mustard algae likes to find its way in my pool on the backs of frogs and other creatures that come visiting. In less than 12 hours after putting in the chemicals they recommended, GONE! I used to be forced by the other company to allow them to open my pool if I wanted them to service my pool in other ways and after they opened it would take me 10-14 days to have my pool clear and clean and fully balanced - NOT ANYMORE. It used to be so cloudy when I opened. This is the 3rd year I've opened myself and each year it is easier and easier thanks to Supreme Plus. This year, I opened and I could see the bottom of my pool the day we took the winter cover off and 12 hours later (after vacuuming it) it was swim ready. Thanks to my use of Supreme Plus, I added the standard quart of Polyquat (algaecide) upon opening, but I didn't need to add any other chemicals to my pool except chlorine - all the other chemicals were perfectly balanced. Their customer service is A+++ and their knowledge has helped save me time, headaches and money. I highly recommend them to anyone who has a pool or hot tube. They will not steer you wrong and you will be so glad you entrusted your pool to them. Best of all, they are kind and helpful.

Great company for hot tubs. Great service. We recently got a new cover for our tub (Calder spa from…read morethem) and it has a newer and much nicer material and so light it's ridiculous!

They did a super good job. The bathroom remodel looks so beautiful. I had a question after a few days & they came to the house & showed me what I needed to do to make things work the way I wanted them too. Josh was great at this. We'd recommend them to anyone. They took 2 days to install but the job was much better than those 1 day installs. We'd give them a 5 star rating. Ron & Elaine Tatro

I put the saw back in the case and forgot about it until lately I needed to use it again, after that I brought it back and told them my story. I was told well your way past the 45 days. I brought it to Butch at Ace hardware in Mt Vernon, he had it 2 days put a new carb on it and now it runs like new again for $ 108. Midway will let it sit for weeks until they look at it

It was not a small project, and why we went with what we thought was the best company around and paid a PREMIUM for the work. A month after we noticed water was not draining off half the yard, it just sits there going nowhere creating a huge muddy mess making the yard completely unusable. We were told it's our problem and the job is to extensive for Culver's to fix and we would have to hire someone else. This is after spending nearly 33k on our project. After several months and attempts to get the owner to come inspect their work we have yet to hear from anyone. I guess putting in drainage tile is to extensive of a job for a landscaping company. I expected better customer service after giving them our business.

I'm not sure about anyone else, but $1,100 is a lot of money to just leave sitting in my garage on a door that doesn't fit. No one cares about customer service anymore in this company. So much for good home town local businesses. Lowe's and Home Depot have treated me better than this. I guess I won't be giving O&A the $15,000 for the material I need to build a garage in the spring.

Is there anything more adult than buying a refrigerator?…read more I mean. The measuring, review reading, feature finding, finish deciding, price checking and delivery scheduling. Not to mention emptying the old to then fill the new. Appliance shopping is exhausting! While I wanted to shop more local than Home Depot. My kitchen had other thoughts. It had to be single door, had to be a certain size... and the only feature that was a MUST was a water dispenser. (Which with a single door fridge is hard to find.) Alas, Home Depot had it. The stainless steel fridge of my dreams... errr... or rather my kitchen's dreams. Popped online. Snagged it in my cart. Scheduled the first possible day they could deliver. (A week later.) Added that they would be taking my old hunk of junk fridge away with them. (An additional $25.) Added that they would be needing to get the water hooked up to the fridge.-- cause nobody's got time for that. (An additional $25.) Popped in my credit card info. Painless. Then the day before the delivery, I got a text telling me a window of when it would be delivered. (2-6pm. Which, let me point out that is about eight hours less of a timeframe then what my local cable company gives me when my internet is acting up.) I got email updates as they approached. I got a call when they were one stop away. Two fellas in masks came during the 2-6pm window. They had to take my front door off to get the fridge in, but man-- they were speedy! They gave me tips on cleaning it. Told me how to get the water and ice going. Put my front door back on. Took my old fridge away. BOOM. In and out in about 20 minutes. This was a painless adulting excursion, thanks Home Depot!
