"Dave did a good job installing the pool filter pump"

"WOW - working with Jaime and his crew was remarkable. They plastered my 44 ft X 18 pool, changed out two pumps, replaced jets, fixed my heater, and spent meticulous detail to make sure the pool was open and running before they wrapped up the job. They were professional, courteous, responsive, and truly cared about my concerns. Jaime came out and gave me a quote the same day I requested it on Home Advisor. They addressed everything perfectly. They also made certain to clean up after each day so there was no mess around since the job took 6 work days in total. The crew arrived promptly each morning between 7 and 8, and stayed until the day's work was done. I received quotes from many other larger firms - all were about 20 - 25% higher cost that JV's Pools. You should have no hesitation using a smaller firm like JV's! I was concerned at first since it was such an important job but was SO GLAD with the decision. What I noticed was that working with a smaller 'boutique' firm like JV's pools made the personal experience and customer service that much better. I could always call the owner on this cell phone, even in the evening, and he could answer any questions I had. Jaime and he lead foreman all have over 30 years experience with pool construction and repair before they started their own firm (I cannot verify this but this is what they told me - and I believe it). Also important to note - other pool companies I have worked with in the past always tried to 'keep me stupid'. I am a new pool owner (I bought a home with a pool in 2010) and the companies would services the pool, open the pool, and close the pool in a way that felt like they were intentionally avoiding me so I could never ask questions, thus always be dependent on them. Jaime and his team did the opposite. They gave me tons of practical advice on being a pool owner - - - and the guy who does service that they work with took the time to even show me how to use the complicated chemical testing kit that i never really understood (I used test strips, but now I will use the test kit). I even learned more about my heater - - - who knew! Thanks Jaime, Freddy, Raymond, Herman and the rest of the crew! Well done."

"Solis Pool and Spa is an all-inclusive Pool Service no matter the need. Caesar is a professional who has maintained and service my pool for years. Caesar is analytical, thorough, and fair. Throughout the years, I have dealt with many pools services. However, due to years of experience, I have learned to stay with the Best to alleviate any stress regarding my pool season of absolute enjoyment and worry-free activities. So I would say that Caesar is truly the Doctor of Exceptional and Outstanding Pool Service. And I highly recommend Caesar, for any pool care or concerns that you may have!"

"There was a terrible storm overnight and my pool and spa looked horrific my pool was green and had a bunch of leaves and branches in it, I was hosting a big party for an engagement celebration the next day, so I was very stressed out, I had called other pool companies and received no response, when I reached out to Marco, he responded right away, was very empathetic to the urgency of my situation and he was able to come first thing in the morning and he made my pool look amazing! He’s a very honest and extremely professional person, I will only ever trust him to work on my pool from now on! He’s the best person you can ever hire to work on any and all of your pool needs!"

"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."

"Platypus Pool Service did an excellent job on our pool. The plaster looks **flawless** and their pricing was incredibly reasonable (especially for such quality work). They were extremely professional and communication was a breeze! Highly recommend."

"It was good and I recommended them to my friend."

"I purchased the deal on Angies List for $349, which was to include materials - including tile up to $2/sq foot for 40 feet. I was told by Tom in advance that it would be $200 to remove and then reinstall the vanity and the toilet. This seemed excessive to me, but not wanting to deal with the hassle of it, and since the BigDeal was such a good deal, we agreed to that. The Big Deal said that it included replacement ceramic tile up to $2/sq. foot (or $80 total.) I inquired about how we were supposed to pick the tile, and Tom said to purchase it ourselves and we'd get an $80 credit from him. When Tom arrived at the house he said that he had neglected to mention that the $80 for tile was actually an allowance for all of the materials, and the cost of the mortar and grout (and any other materials) already totaled more than $80 so no credit for us on the tile. I paid special attention to the cost of the tile when I was purchasing it to make sure we stayed within the $2/sq. foot because that what was included. I found that to be a bit annoying, especially since he and I had emailed about it before I purchased the deal...but I figured it really wasn't a big deal. I asked him if he would install a small backsplash around the vanity after reinstalling the vanity. (I had some extra mosaic tiles from tiling the shower, and they were already cut into strips.) He agreed, but didn't mention anything about an extra charge. When he was finished, he asked for $60 extra for the backsplash.
He completed the work quickly; and it looks good. He showed up on time, and worked hard. Overall, he did a nice job. I even asked him for a quote to replace our kitchen back splash, but we decided to do it ourselves.
The deal was a good deal - and I'm pleased with the overall project. But Tom didn't communicate well about extra fees, and what was included and what isn't. He made a comment that the extra fees were to make sure that he makes something on the job. I certainly don't want to take advantage of anyone. I think that this is the result of a poorly structured deal on Angie's List for the purpose of drumming up some new business. I would be very careful when discussing pricing with Tom.

"I've been using NL landscape for many years. They have always done a great job on any project I've thrown their way. This includes mowing, trimming, weeding, drainage, and new landscape projects. The yard always looks great and they are much more proactive than other landscapers I've used in the past. They keep the trees and bushes trimmed and the yard looking great. I've also had them repair my existing paver patio and walkway when the winter ice decides not to play nice. They always do a fantastic job."

"Very satisfied with our bathroom remodel work done by Mondex. We were kept informed on timeline and next steps, and the work was high quality. We asked a lot of questions along the way about materials and options, and Steve answered all of our questions thoroughly. The quote was broken out by task, and we stayed right on budget. Very professional contractors, quality work, and we would definitely hire again."
