We look forward to building lasting relationships and guarantee your satisfaction!
"POOLIE will ruin your water, making it unsafe to swim in, then tell you to drain it. The reason they use the "One-Price-Fits All" sales pitch is because they use the cheaper chlorine tablets in your pool other than liquid chlorine. The tabs contain Cyanuric Acid (CYA) and in a couple of months, the CYA level gets much too high, which makes the chlorine tabs much less efficient. The only way to get rid of CYA is to drain the pool. Also, they skipped my pool 4 times in the last 3 months, almost starving out the new pump they installed in February. I took a water sample of my green pool water to Leslie's last week, and ONLY ONE chemical was in balance. I looked back over 10 months of POOLIE'S service reports, using Leslie's guidelines. My pool chemistry was NEVER completely in balance. Leslie's report said the water was unsafe and corrosive. No wonder I need to drain my pool and replaster it. POOLIE just bought out SCOTCH POOLS in November. Former SCOTCH POOLS customers should BEWARE!"

"Everything seemed to be going alright. Chris showed up on time and gave me an estimate to replace my skimmer, which I agreed to. The next day a manager came over to look. He told me they could also replace my auxiliary pump. I asked some questions about that and he said to purchase my own pump to save money. I did, then was told they would not install the pump since I did not purchase it from them and they would not be able to warranty the motor. The motor comes with a warranty and the instructions state it is only to be installed by a pool professional. The office even quoted me an installation price. When I called to schedule the install, they would not do the job. I was told the employees must have been mistaken about this service. The skimmer project turned out. A plumbing crew showed up without calling and started working and I was not home. They did not speak English. They got dirt and cement in the pool. There was no follow up call or visit from Blue Ocean."

We specialize in installing decks, fences, and pergolas. We have the expertise to build everything from a simple privacy fence, to custom decks and pergolas. Our team is skilled and ready to make your vision a reality.
"New 2-story deck missed the mark across code, Trex guidelines, and aesthetics. Poor planning. Won't make it right. We lost 5 figures on a 2-man crew that lacks longevity with owner. Hire inspectors before paying final invoice. FYI “Custom Deck and Fence Austin” also has poor reviews on multiple sites noting owner Todd Louis Ratajik of "Good Day Baked Energy Snacks" (Forfeited Existence). Sites now name “Cesar” as owner. Negative reviews disappeared. AFFD has pending lawsuits with Travis County Courts. Unknown AFFD subcontractor alarmingly used my name and address in another client’s lawsuit w**! Standard: Visual consistency. AFFD: Mismatched railing. Todd’s words: "It's the same railing but pinched." (A contractor’s FB review notes lack of materials to properly complete jobs.) Std: Concrete pad supports stairs. AFFD: Stair stringers hover in air, failing to land on concrete. Todd blatantly texted that stringers would step out (not down) from deck. I refuted the abnormality. Top step was cut off; stringers don’t reach concrete. Instead of extending pad or redoing stringers, an ugly post was set. Std: Stairs treads w/o gaps. No overhangs. AFFD: Stringer cuts forgot stairs' fascia; treads weren’t 11+”. Gaps added to meet code -> stair noses >1.25", ie trip hazards. FYI Use rise-to-run guidelines. Std: 42” deck railings. 34-38” stair railings ABOVE boards. AFFD: 44” deck railings. Didn’t supply 34” stair railings; boards grossly notched to lower height, which start at 44”! Std: Posts sit on existing FINISHED concrete pads. (LOL) AFFD: Post had no contact with pad (after removing makeshift shams to hide the blunder) ie ZERO deck weight on ground. Todd asked if this was okay [to not deal with]. Post not corrected at start. Rough concrete poured atop pad to meet post. Ew. Std: 16" oc MAX joist spacing (Trex specs). AFFD: 7 of 13 spacings are >16". No blocking. Add 1 or 2 joists = ~15.5" or 14" spacings. Todd said his ways are “affordable” and “economical”. Eek. Best: Competitor contracts: "12-in joist spacings", "blocking", “glulam beam”. Std: Trex Cocktail Rail Kit (full-width support, hidden fasteners). AFFD: 5.5" wavy floor boards nailed to 1" rail. Visible screws, rough shavings, corner gaps, no support eg 2x4s to flatten board. No countersunk screws and putty to hide nails. Std: Professional aesthetics. AFFD: Not spraying railing cuts = RUST. No continuity in stairs fascia to meet deck edge. Silver bolts on black railings. Posts unequal distance from deck edges. Cedar’s shorter lifespan requires staining / maintenance < Trex’s composite fascia. Std: Disclosure of unforeseen issues. Protocols. Loyal crews. AFFD: Crew wasted a day plotting makeshift repairs after causing roof damage. Licensed roofer was furious about erroneously-cut flashing. Roofers returned after crew again made damaging cuts where told not to. Zero acknowledgement from Todd. AFFD: Crew noted holes in house’s ceiling after removing joist nails. No repairmen references. Not-our-problem mentality. AFFD: 15+ days by 2 tired guys: the hire + his actual neighbor. Ditto to reviewer compelled to supervise. Days start late, end after 7pm. My neighbors had 5 deck builders who left by 6pm still jolly. AFFD: Non-recyclables in recycling bin. Concrete and stinky liquid in trash bin. Cigarette butts, nails, and construction debris across yard. AFFD: Crew won’t tell owner about gray areas and errors in judgments. One unsure if he'd get paid wth. Std: Professionalism. AFFD: No final walkthroughs. Owner ignores items in emails. Condescending; when I climbed a ladder re an issue (that I called a roofer to fix), Todd muttered that I was “an inspector, eh”. Instead of talking measurements, Todd’s retort was “I’m the owner of a deck company”, as if titles alone grant proficiency. Labor is hired out, crew turnover is high. Workmanship depends on whoever is outsourced, who aren’t deck builders so much as guys who "have built decks before". Expect no corrections on what Todd Ratajik deems as "good enough"."

A comprehensive pool opening service involves removing and storing the winter cover, inspecting all mechanical systems, reassembling filtration equipment, cleaning surfaces, checking for damage, adjusting water levels, and balancing chemicals. Technicians will reinstall accessories such as ladders and handrails while properly ensuring all safety features function. The goal is to deliver a completely prepared aquatic environment for immediate enjoyment.
The optimal timing for seasonal preparation occurs when daytime temperatures consistently reach 65 to 70°F. Opening too early wastes chemicals and potentially increases heating costs, while delaying too long allows algae to establish difficult-to-remove colonies. Climate considerations vary by region, with southern locations often requiring earlier preparation than northern areas. Most professionals recommend erring on the earlier side to prevent water quality complications.
For homeowners handling the process themselves, expect to invest approximately four to six hours, depending on pool size and winter conditions. Professional services complete standard openings more efficiently due to specialized equipment and experience. Very large installations or those requiring extensive cleaning may extend the timeframe considerably. The process involves multiple steps that cannot be rushed without compromising results.
Professional seasonal preparation offers significant advantages, including proper chemical balancing, expert equipment handling, and early problem detection. The service costs between $200 and $400, which is a wise investment when considering the technical expertise, specialized equipment, and potential problem prevention involved. Many homeowners find the convenience and confidence in proper preparation worth the investment, particularly for complex systems or after challenging winter conditions.
