"Our pool closing was handled quickly and professionally."

"I had three bids to replace my plaster and tile on my pool. After talking with the three companies, I was more comfortable going with Ryan and Platypus Pools, as he really knew what he was talking about. His crew came out in a timely fashion, got the job done very quickly and the pool looks great. I loved the attention to detail and Ryan made sure that the job was done perfectly, as he was on site during the renovation. Very happy with the result and will hire them for any pool repairs I need in the future."

"I went to A Lamp & Fixture Shop today, hoping to a repair a lamp (a small countertop nightlight). I wanted to both get a professional’s advice on the safety of a questionable (to me) part of the cord and to replace the plug, which we had tried unsuccessfully to do ourselves. The helpful repairman explained exactly why we had encountered difficulty trying to do it ourselves, looked carefully and told me that the part of the cord we thought might be iffy was fine, and replaced the plug -- charging $15 for the repair. The whole walk-in exchange took around 10 minutes, which probably doesn't always happen at busier times of the day. But having the little lamp fixed on the spot saved me an hour of driving in city traffic to pick the lamp the later in the week! My first visit to this shop was to get a stained glass tensor desk lamp, an estate sale find, to work; I figured it would have to be rewired. I was told by the staff that this is not easy to do, given the structure of that type of tensor lamp -- and re-wiring would have cost me more than the lamp did. But the staff person, seeing my disappointment, made another suggestion: rather than rewire, consider putting a new "thumb switch" on the cord. Perfect solution! The lamp works (and looks) great -- and the cost was $25. Two repair visits – and good advice leading to two reasonable and successful outcomes. A Lamp & Fixture Shop is batting 1000 with me. If I could give an A+ grade, I sure would."
