"Being over 50 years old he was able to really explain to my understanding what was going on with my pool."

"Absolutely outstanding!!! My pool had cracks and I lost a lot of water, up to 2" a day. I researched several pool companies and most of them wanted to completely rebuild the entire pool, basically build a new pool inside the old one. The cost would have been 80-100K. After a lot of interviews it was clear to me that fiberglass was the only viable alternative to save the existing pool. In my area there were only 2 companies that offered fiberglass and I interviewed them both. Although both companies most likely would have done a similar job and the quotes were very compatible, I decided to go with Absolute, a younger and newer company. It was not a mistake. Absolute was able to do the job right away, which was also very important to me since I didn't want to keep my pool empty at the beginning of the rainy season. Noe and his crew arrived exactly as promised in beautiful clean white overalls. All their tools were state of the art and they wasted no time to open up every single crack and follow the leaks until they got into damage-free territory and no rusty rebars or signs of cracks were found. The cracks were then fixed with high pressure concrete and overlapping sheets of fiberglass. The waterline tiles could be saved and were skillfully covered to prepare for several layers of fiberglass, bonding everything together. The fiberglass was applied with a state-of-the-art machine and the crew worked beautifully together. Without many words everybody knew exactly what to do. It was a joy watching the team performing in their white overalls, looking more like cosmonauts then concrete workers. The construction site was kept immaculate every day, even the demolished concrete was packaged in clean plastic bags and taken off-site. There was never any trash around. My 20 year old glass tiles were sand blasted or glass-pearl blasted and looked like new. There was no mess- up, no false claim, no delay and after only six days the pool looked like new, or better than new. I truly believe, and I got some good guarantees, that the pool was saved and will be good for another 15 years or so and all of that for less than 20K. The surface is extremely easy to clean and will probably use much less chemicals. I have done a lot of construction projects in my life, but this one was one of my best and most impressive experiences I have had. I highly recommend this company. On top of all they are super nice and friendly people to work with. Don't hesitate hiring them if you have similar problems with your pool and have exhausted any other option."

"They arrived exactly on time and were professional and prepared to start the moving process right away.  Alex and his team made sure to review all the contract details and walked us through the moving process.  They treated our belongs carefully and respectfully during the entire move.  Highly recommended and I would use their service again in the future."

"We contacted Steve through Angie List because we wanted to give our old 80 style pool a much needed and quot;faceliftand quot;. Unfortunately, to finances a full remodel is not an option at this time so we wanted to do the best we could with the limited funds we had available. We contact several pool contractors and Steve at OC Pool Technicians was the only one who seemed to undertsand our budget and needs. He came out for a consultation and told my husband the possibilities and his recomendations of how to spend our $1000 max budget. Our primary concerns were the staining and discoloration of our white pool plaster, tile, and grout. We also had a missing pool drain cover. Steve told my husband that once the acid bath was done the plaster would be white again and the discoloration and stain would be gone that he could clean up the tile and grout and that he could replace the drain cover and replace the spa light all within our budget. It took about a week to get a written estimate and after careful consideration we decided to move forward. It took about another week to schedule the start of the work. it started with draining the pool which took a couple days, then the repair of plaster on the step, then the acid bath which took a day, then the sanding, then to our surprise with a couple of days from starting the job, he was filling the pool back up. It's here we run into all the complaints...the pool plaster was not all white after he did his job, you could visibly see the same discoloration and while the staining was better it was not by any means gone as he'd promised. We contacted Steve and he responded that that was best it would get and that to him it looked beautiful. Well that's great but to me it looks the same and I'm the paying customer. So we pushed the issue and continued to express disappointment. Then came the excuses...he had one for everything we weren't pleased with...the first excuse... was too old to do any more treatments or sanding and that if we wanted more we would have to sign a waiver releasing him of any libaility or damage to the pool. Feeling very disouraged and not pleased which we communicated to Steve we had him finish the work on the spa light and filled in the pool. Our only request was that he make the tile and grout sparkle to hopefully at least give the pool the illusion of being updated. He said he came out and worked on it several times but it not nuch better either--definitely not how I expected/he promised it to be. When we communicated how unhappy we were with the tile/grout outcome we got excuse number two..now it was it too old and simply needed to be replaced. WOW! Really! we already new that and we're not pool contractors. the experiance and outcome was less than diserable and while there is an improvement in the appearance of the pool its absoluely not what we were lead to believe it would be. It's. About 60% better than it was to start. Absolutely not $1000 better. Of course, he wanted to be paid along the way for the process and upon completion. He offered no discount for the service even though we weren't happy with the outcome. In my opinion he found out how much money we had to spend, told us what we wanted to hear, and made promises to get our business but couldn't ever deliver what he promised to. I've had lots of great experiences with Angie's List contractors this just wasn't one of them.

"Work was done professionally. The gentleman had to make several trips to the hardware store to get the correct bulbs, but he did not charge me any extra time for the service."

"Kevin is responsive, very accessible, was here almost every day of the job and finished very quickly. He obtained all permits and showed us a computer simulated image of our new pool in our backyard. Before the job he took us to see three previous jobs he had done. He got very high marks from the homeowners. He understood we had a tight budget and worked with us. He also was good about taking us around to pick tile and coping, etc. Like every construction job, there were bumps in the road, but they were handled professionally and the job went smoothly, overall."

"They arrived on time and asked for a tour and I went over which areas to skip and which areas I wanted focused on. They quickly spread out and began cleaning. Unfortunately after about 1.5 hours my water broke. I had them continue another hour or so letting them know they needed to wrap it up while I packed my bag and had my husband come home from work. When he arrived they had him sign that the work was complete and quickly disappeared. While circumstances were beyond their control I was hoping they would offer to come back and finish but this did not happen. They also left behind a dust pan and glass cleaner. I also found they had messed up the cables connected to the tv so the remote would not work. So overall the parts they cleaned were fine and circumstances made it impossible for them to finish the job.

"The service was fine. I had talked to several companies we basically talked about the process. It takes some time from the city of L.A and the department of water and power. I just had the panels turned on a week and a half ago. I did not receive a bill. It was informed that it would take a while. They were fine. They were laid back and not pushy at all. It was a good price and there were a lot of moving parts. They were here when they said they would be."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."
