I understand that there have been backlogs and delays that are outside of Kayak's control, however, Kayak has gone above and beyond to work with me through the process. We are parting on good terms and they are giving me a full refund, I would definitely recommend.

ESPARZA POOL INSTALLATION & LANDSCAPING
5.0
Rare is it that you come across a company and people that are so amazingly different, so incredibly good, and so wonderfully consistent in their excellent performance, but that is exactly what you get with Sergio Esparza, and his wonderful employees. Our relationship with Sergio and his team has lasted the absolute test of time. For more than 10 years, from the installation of our pool to opening and closing it, as well as for maintenance, Sergio and his team have delivered nothing short of complete excellence each step of the way. They were meticulous in their installation and clean up after, and this is exactly where other pool companies that our neighbors have used have fallen short, and usually way short. Not with Esparza. They were the complete professionals and left the installation spotless and with all the details taken well care of. Opening and closing the pool has been another area of excellence where Esparza has outdone and outperformed the competition. One year we failed to schedule Sergio and it was our fault. We used another pool service and we immediately realized it was a mistake. The competition was sloppy, left a mess, and we had to redo all of the work they did, taking longer to remedy than if we opened the pool ourselves, and we regretted it. The fact they were also more expensive made it even worse. When it comes to knowing exactly what has to be done for installing new pool liners or accessories or a new filter or heater, Esparza once again delivers superior knowledge and expertise, and thankfully prevented us from purchasing the incorrect products for our particular pool. Even when there was a glitch with the product we purchased being a lemon, Sergio was there to mediate and make sure we were treated well and the situation was properly rectified. Thankfully we were able to get a new product shipped and at no cost to us, and we owe it all to Sergio and his wonderful crew who always go above and beyond the call of duty. Today was our most recent Esparza experience and the weather was terrible. It was raining, cold, and miserable. Yet Sergio and his crew were just as meticulous and careful with their work, setting up and testing all of the equipment, and with making sure they were meticulous in their clean up and how they left everything. Especially given the weather, it was especially noteworthy that they did not rush and cut corners despite how cold and uncomfortable they must have felt. Perhaps the most important quality of Esparza is that you can trust them. They not only do excellent work but they take care of our pool, the accessories, our yard, and our home as if it was their own, and they always come through. Thinking of going with someone else? Ugh. We have experienced that and never want to again. Esparza always takes care of us, gives us expert wisdom when it comes to making decisions, and makes sure we are safe, protected, and happy with all that involves our pool, each and every year, without missing a beat. In fact, I think they actually keep getting better and better when I have always felt that was not possible. Esparza. It is the only name you need to know when it comes to pools and your families safety and happiness with your pool investment

It was a bit bumpy of a ride. Overall the pool install itself took only one day. We would purchase again.

All Seasons Pools & Spas

Got bids for liner replacement of a 10 year old pool that had begun to tear at waterline and leak water. Previous homeowners did not provide pool build measurements, so I needed someone to also make accurate measurements. All Seasons was one of three bids I received, but also offered to get the job done early in the spring due to a party I had planned for the first week of June. Dave (from Sales) was quick to respond, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. After selecting All Seasons, they quickly setup measurements and got the liner ordered. Once the liner was in, we were quickly scheduled to begin as soon as the weather began to break. The team did a great job removing the old liner, took a couple days to prep the sub surface with a new skim coat (extra cost but not entirely unexpected), and then installed the new liner. They communicated well, keeping me informed of everything that was happening each day. Overall, very happy with my experience and would recommend All Seasons again

A majority of the work was done before I arrived home and the team of installers were very professional and courteous. The workers returned several times over the next few days to install various parts of the pool depending on the water height. There was an issue with the factory gasket on the pool and Russo's was very responsive in returning to my home to fix the issue without question. Dan at Russo's answered several of my questions and helped me along the way with pool how-tos and maintenance tips and tricks. Everyone was extraordinarily friendly

We hired a company called Leisure Pools at first. I paid him $15,000 to dig the hole for the pool. He then went bankrupt and totally stopped the project. Caribbean Pools came in and cleaned up his mess and put a pool in. They were here every time they were supposed to be. They passed code the first time. They are a little higher for pricing than their competitors but they are worth it. I never have an issue and they know what they are doing

J & C QUALITY POOLS

James came out and gave us an estimate a few days after calling. He does the work himself (with a couple of helpers) which is good in my book. The job took about 3 days (plus time to allow the tile adhesive and grout to dry). They cleaned up and removed the old tile, silicone tubes, etc.. James and his guys really seemed to know the best approach in removing the old tile and installing / grouting the new tile too. I asked James several 'pool questions' while he was working on the tile and he was very knowledgeable and had many helpful suggestions to maintain the pool. I will call James (J & C Quality Pools) again
"Jeff at Geneva Pool Service has given us exceptional service after another pool company treated us poorly. Jeff came in and fixed all of the problems caused by the other pool company and went above and beyond to make everything perfect for us. He also educated us on our new pool and spa in a way the other company never did. He was honest and polite (qualities not possessed by other pool companies). I used Geneva Pools based on the exceptional reviews online and based on many personal recommendations. I cannot recommend this company enough!
We are a family business that has been around since 1992. We take great pride in the work and services that we offer
"Due to my own foolish error, I lost prime on the pool pump. Normally it is not my job to care for the pool but this week it was. I neglected to close the valves when I cleaned the pump basket of debris. I tried unsucessfully to restore the pump. I called J&C Quality pools and received a call back from a very friendly lady to tried to walk me through the process to prime the pump over the phone. Later I found out, she was the owner's wife. The next morning James arrived and quickly guided me through the process and tactfully showed me where my error was. He helped me install the Creepy Crawler and pointed out several items in the pool and pump area which needed attention. He was professional and helpful and I will keep his business card handy for future reference. Thanks, James and your wife too. And his service charge was extremely reasonable also.

"I hired Northshore Painting & Restoration to have my kitchen cabinet painted white. I highly recommend this company for cabinet painting. I contacted 4 companies for this project. I picked this company because Jiri, the owner, was the only one that recommended spraying the cabinet boxes with lacquer instead of brushing/rolling to paint the cabinet boxes white. Spraying with lacquer would create better results than painting with brushing/rolling but required more work because they had to seal off the area and cover everything not being sprayed. He was offering to do that while other painters did not or charged more for doing that. The result was great. Work was completed as scheduled.

"Fantastic. Marty got us a quote the day I called him and followed up with me the next day to make sure I got it. The other two companies I called never even called me back. Marty was quick to come out to our house (the day after we called and confirmed we'd like to move forward with Alternating Current) and get our power back. He knew that without our power we were basically homeless so did everything he could to get to us and get us back on the grid.

"First visit from the service was great. Technician explained everything and answered all questions. Weekly service is $79, but seems to be about $135 each week (total) for chemicals. Seems high. On one occasion they left the hose running in the pool. I came home the next day to find my yard flooded. I was leaving the next day for vacation; if I hadn't caught it, I don't know what would have happened. I called and requested that they not send that technician to my house again. They agreed and didn't charge me for the visit, so I was satisfied. But in going over my bills at year end, I found they did continue to send the same technician anyway. The hose was not left running again, so does it matter if they didn't honor my request? Probably not. Maybe they only have a few technicians.
